I think that people if they knew would probably actually find that they have more 15 year olds in their invite trees than they might have realized .
At least that is my hope for it at least explains away some of the lack of depth I see in a lot of forum posts.
The other explanation that many members are just that vacant is a lot less comforting.
As for "dissing" HDbits you seem to be another of these people that think anything negatively said against a person or their actions is also an attack against a site ,everyone on it , everything it has accomplished and everything it stands for.
I'm sure that there are legions of terrific folk on HDbits.I'm sure the staff ,even the ones put in a bad light here , attempt to do what is best and I sure the site brings a lot of joy to most of it's members. That however doesn't mean that there might not be anything ever amiss or that those things shouldn't ever be mentioned .
Seriously I know that negativity isn't always the most endearing of qualities but given the choice between a little honest questioning of the way things are or the steady diet of inane and probably insincere pleasantries that I have to constantly endure on sites like FSC and FTN , a little thought provoking negativity is a welcome relief.
Or should we maybe consider turning this into another forum bred from little but desire to belong and post only in certainty that we never piss anyone off ( especially ,God forbid staff ) to maintain our comfortable position in the scheme of things.
In which case all I can say to you gameover is "Good job ,I totally agree .Lol <3 FST
Respect my lack of authority.
So, on one hand, you are claiming to be mentally impaired regarding the capacity to understand social interaction while posting regularly in multiple forums, and recognizing that others are socializing poorly. What part of autism requires you to seek attention?
Your story is getting old, and weaker, Oleg.![]()
It's not about seeking attention. I felt the need to start this thread because I had been suddenly banned from hdbits. And yes, according to my diagnosis, I am on the mild end of the autistic spectrum, which is Asperger's. I am just telling you what diagnosis they gave me... But don't you agree that someone who suddenly bans someone else with the message "Die you retard" needs to work on his social skills?

Honestly, it depends on how you were acting that prompted his comment. If you were acting inappropriately- AND had a history of doing so- AND were doing so again, then NO, his social skills could be entirely reasonable. He was telling you off. He did not want you around anymore. Would you have preferred him say, "Gosh, Oleg, you are a wonderful person, but I am banning you."? That would not have made any sense.
His banning of you was a reaction to the sum total of your interactions on the site. YOU WORE OUT YOUR WELCOME.
Your situation is much like one I faced in my own home recently:
I had a classmate and his girlfriend over several times for dinner. Initially, they were polite, respectful guests. When they first came, they brought something to add to the meal- bread, cake, wine, etc. That was nice, and all was well. Eventually, they got more comfortable and stopped contributing to the meals. I let that slide, justifying it as them having financial difficulties.
As they grew more comfortable, they started displaying irritating behaviors- my classmate started leaning back in our wooden dinner table chairs, I asked him to stop and he didn't- this lead to a broken chair that we can no longer get a matching replacement for.
His girlfriend started complaining furiously about one of our professors. He was one of our favorites, and we did not believe, nor wanted to hear her ridiculous accusations. She repeated these EVERY time she came- regardless of our lack of interest in the stories AND asking her to stop.
The classmate eventually started coming over expecting to be fed, lingered after we expressed our wishes to call an end to the evenings, and (probably most annoying of all) felt a need to take a crap EVERY time he came over, minutes before leaving (weird).
The bottom line- we stopped having them over. Since we were in the same program with them at school, we tried to do so "softly". We eventually grew to resent their company, and did our best to distance ourselves from them. It took a long time, but eventually they got the hint and quit inviting themselves over. I do have a suspicious feeling that they bad-mouthed us to some of he professors.
Do you see ANY similarities between our bad guests, and your behaviors on this site, and HDBits? Not only did you become a nuisance, but you felt the need to start this thread and speak poorly of your hosts. All around, you were, and are, a bad guest. You can only be granted so much leeway due to your "disability". Regardless, you wore out your welcome, and are getting quite close here (and that is saying something with the amount of leeway FST gives).
Okay, don't tell me that it's quite possible that I'll be banned from FST. I really don't want to be banned from here.
