and btw, props for that promise, and more so for sticking to it.

Long story short-

Friend I made a long time ago. The only person who tried to save me from a very dark, negative life. Friends for life, held hands, kissed as friends would, good times.

Her parents- chronic alcoholics. Drunk driving, hit her. They get sent to jail, she's told by docs that she's not gonna make it 24 hours, she has them contact me, I show up and spend a good many hours with her. Before she forced me to leave to get some sleep, she made me keep promises if she kept promises too- I'd never get drunk and I'd succeed in life(love, home, happiness), while she'd be my overwatch in the sky/guardian angel and find my Princess for me and push her in my direction.

She died while I was sleeping at home. That girl is one of the reasons I'm still kickin.

I can say without a shadow of a doubt that had I never met her and spent years with her, I wouldn't be trying to be positive today.

Folks on the forums (not just these - any forum really) tend to forget that there are real people on the other side.
You'll see posters get catty for absolutely no freakin' reason. I make it a point to only get snappy with someone if they're being ridiculously rude to someone else for no reason. You never know what that person has to deal with when they walk away from their computer.

So just for that reason, everyone gets a polar bear hugging an arctic wolf. Aw.

Keyboard warriors suck. Better to be yourself. Say what you'd say to someone's face rather than acting tough and being negative just because there may not be any repercussions.

But I do act negative IRL.

I'm a bit of an arse.

Wow. That is cute as hell. And oddly scary.

Random acts of kindness brightens anyone's day. As for the forum drama, it's what makes the place

Then this forum needs more random acts of kindness.

One that instantly comes to mind is Arcadian Legend uploading avvies for me out of the blue when I didn't even ask for them.

That was absolutely amazing, and I loved it. Things like that are what build friendships, or make them stronger.

The forum needs more people like Arc. I just hope some forumites can say good things about me, as I do not under any circumstances want to leave a bad memory with someone here.

That's sweet. I didn't think it could really be done over the internet, apart from something like the "say something nice" thread (which in the end turns into more a tool for making jokes). It's more poignant when you don't know the person, or well, like a stranger paying your bus fare.
The reverse seems to be true for mean things. A friend being a wanker will **** up your day whereas if you're harassed or robbed by no one in particular you can just shrug and say "That's life."

Luckily my friends here kick butt. I've formed friendships over the years I've been a BSNer(and on the old forums as well).

I trust them.

It's true. The wolf seems a little uncomfortable with the polar bear's forwardness. Ah well. C'est la Arctic.

Arctic Love is a beautiful thing, though. I'll give it that.

It's actually ironic how the My Little Pony topic is about the most positive topic around here... Bronies FTW.

I honestly do believe that thread is what every thread should be in the BSN.

Lulz, we're not talking in relevance to FiM, but rather the overall postivity in the thread.

No, just nausious.

Yeah, I didn't think that needed clarifying. Hah.

Isn't that the image for the At Least you Tried meme? Because if not they are damn similar

EDIT

Nope.

We went from Arctic Love to Arctic Sympathy.

The old forums may not of been filled with entirely happy threads, but they were definitely closer than the state of our forums now.

[LPPrince]

Seems like forever ago when the old forums were around. Sometimes its hard for me to remember what it was like.

Good memories on it though.

[Arcadian Legend]

What exactly were the old forums like? (in general) I don't know since I only joined around the beginning of 2010.
