Alright, so you are probably super mad at me for saying that the LEGO community is "retarded" now a year or two ago I would have spoken against this. But seriously, this community, is so. Self. Centered. I helped Mecabricks when it had what- a hundred, "few hundred-" accounts?! I've tried, and have been there for certain users. (You guys know who you are.) I am glad I did it, but. This is just- stupid. Guys, the users on this website, LEGO Ideas, and others have helped ruin LEGO for me. The "community" was part of what I enjoyed about LEGO as I got older. I've always enjoyed being with, and exploring the communities of things, at least up to this point. But this community is so dumb, I hosted a Discord server (now called "Chilled") and every single time I'd get on my computer last summer. There was always some retarded fricking, drama that I had to "fix." While my I was dealing with my own issues irl, and I came to my computer last year for a place of peace, NOT TO COME ON AND BECOME Mr. Solve-All-Your-Problems-During-The-Free-Time-I-Wanted/Needed, last summer. 😕
Now I left that Discord server hoping for a break, rejoined a few months later. Nothing changed, still the same old crap that was floating around before. So I left again, and I haven't returned, but since then. I've checked my "LEGO-Ideas" account, and my "Mecabricks" account, and they both- I went though my old messages, and things sent over the last few years. Cough More drama 😃 Was all I good for is solving your drama that you can't trust yourself to take to your parents?
Okay I did a terrible job explaining this, but I don't plan on coming back to the LEGO community, for those of you that remember me fondly, honestly. Good for you. But those that don't, and read this and are like "wtf is this vile little child doing on this website" then good for you also.
I hope this inspires some change? Maybe? Probably not? A Do not. Ask me for help, or anything in this community anymore.
Aren't we all? 😂
I don't know. I mean this is odd. As a new user. Having joined in the last two months. I never saw the old community. And maybe most people are more self centered. But, I mean maybe they grew in size. But, to just call the entire community retarded is a bit much. I mean, there are still good people using the site. The older generation will perceive things differently because of their experience. But, your talking about a younger generation. The younger generation hasn't acknowledged your experiences. Or this is completely normal for them. But, hey what do I know? I'm just an 11 year old stuck behind a computer.
I just realized something, earlier @Operator011 said that more drama won't fix the drama (correct me if I perceived it wrong). Then you agreed with him. But, you going out and creating drama. Aren't you defeating your point. I mean... It doesn't make sense. Your starting drama by complaining about it.
Custom_Parts.com: I said that more drama won't fix the drama, yes. I said the drama is a problem, yes. And then I said that this forum post is only creating more drama, so I really don't understand the point of it.
But how am I defeating my own argument . . . ? Sure, I'm responding to him on this forum, so that counts as "drama", but it seems like that affirms my point, not defeats it. I said that this forum would cause drama, which it has, sooooooooo . . . I don't know why he made it in the first place, as it's extremely hypocritical. And I'm not the only one who responded to Apoc critically. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I'm just trying to defend my argument here, not trying to cause anymore, to use the much over-used word, "drama". 😂
Well, I was talking about @ApocalypticBrick. So it was him defeating his own argument. I won't explain it since you understand what I mean. Plus, yeah we are over using the word drama! 😆
I should have elaborated saying @ApocalypticBrick's name.
Custom_Parts.com: Oh! Okay, sorry about that misunderstanding. 😂 My bad! 😅
No problem! Communication can be messed up easily! I recommend a book called Talking to Strangers. Very interesting. It discusses when conversation is botched. Or when it is screwed up so bad that wars begin.
Well, the MB I know from the past year isn’t perfect, but still contains lots of wonderful conversations and friendly people.
Better than most of the other online communities out there. 😉
