Just breathe
I realize a lot of you lately are venting about things that piss you off. What kind of mood do you think this sets for the forum? Sure, one or two rants is nice, but we are seeing droves of new posts all about shit that's pissing you all off. Why can't we get some good news up in here? I'm not talking about, "Hey, I just got laid," or anything like that, but how about news stories about modern day heroism, or personal stories about how someone changed your life - the meaning of it all.
It's my job to make sure you all are enjoying yourselves, and let me be the first to start this little anti-trend out. You see, I have many things that piss me off, but I save them for my online journal. Every one of you have the ability to create a journal here on the TFP and vent whatever you want to out on it. The discussion forums, however, should be reserved for more community-serving posts.
Ask not what the TFP can do for you, but what you can do for the TFP!
Shit, I know it's played, but that's the whole deal with communities. You get what you put in. If all you do is vent your anger, all you're gonna get in return is a lot of, "Yeah, I'm pissed off too!" It'll gradually degenerate and we'll be bashing everything soon enough. Who the hell wants to get involved in a forum like that? I sure as hell don't.
Ok, now everybody, breath with me...
