discussion Socially anxious lurker attempting to become a functional community member 🫡

[ishakoo]

Welcome, i pray that you find a satisfactory amount of toes here!

there is never a satisfactory amount of toes.... but we shall keep striving for them

The persuit of trying to become functional sounds as if you were some sort of damaged ware . Over on F95 I joined 5 years ago to be a new member till this day and feel more worked into this place after my few days for having an incentive to give it my two cents... I absolutely get grabbing the VN's and lurking apart from that

 

[Merow86]

I'm here because of the strict Rules at F95, too.
They seem to elaborate a Morale Police against anything that could only scratch an inch to their holy Rule Nr. 7 *Sparkling shooting stars and Angelic Voices from Heaven appears*
They want to be more "Pope" then the Pope himself.

And because of some Links to Games, I wanted to test, but there is always some annoying Message about "you are dismissed... only for Members+"

I'm trying buddy (or should I say Panda?^^)... i'm trying.
But if you have Links and Screenshots to Games you would like to play, but to get them you have to be patient.
It's like torture, you know, what I mean?

I didn't realize Prestige ranks cost the same in Activity Coin and Lewd Coin. I really wish I would have checked that before converting them all. What a huge waste.

Are prestige ranks after member+ or what are prestige ranks exactly?

Yeah, they are after Mem+. I don't know all the benefits, but I think P1 unlocks some more threads, and some stuff like Profile customization, a new badge, and a lower cool-down on likes.

Ahh makes sense, I'm glad you mentioned it cause I would not have realized that AC is good to be saved

Yeah, I just converted probably around 1000 without thinking. I'm not sure if they are meant to be the same price or if it is a mistake because the Mem+ price is different for Activity Coins vs Lewd Coins.

 

[Merow86]

We do get a lot of that. Keep at it and you'll be there soon.

I can imagine that. It's like an Inquisition.
But I'm not only here because of that, but also, because of the bad behavior of many Users.
They certainly have a huge selection on F95, but in every game thread, people nitpick the content just because a particular tag doesn't suit someone's taste.
Like... "I don't like Tag X/Y in this Game... it's shitty because of it"
-"Then play one of the other 1000 Games, that hasn't these Tags...! "
One annoying Karen after the other. As if the World would only spin around them.

The Admin won the raffle, of course

I'm completely out of the loop here. What is/was ATF?

 

[atharvadasarwa]

can some one with membre + tell me game code of game apocalyse v .037 its there at the start of game page

 

[gelatinadepata]

I am a newbie, is there any subject you gotta stick to in here?

 

[gelatinadepata]

Honestly, until I read your message I thought it was dead too.

I saw all the shutdown news back then and I hadn’t been able to access the site for a long time, so I just assumed it was gone. After reading some posts here though, I managed to get in using a VPN.

So thanks for making me double check lol.

I've seen much talk about this ATF thingy. Just out of curiosity, could someone tell me what it is? Thanks in advance.

It's a loli/shota community basically, atf means all the fallen, the forum is still up but i dont think you can make an account on anthrhing else from the website

 

[punkpoopie]

Welcome from another lurker as well XD

 

[qweraswtf]

Welcome!! With my social anxiety and english not being my first language i am luker x2 XDD.

 

[vampirecreatur]

Honestly, thanks a lot for the long reply

It was actually really reassuring to read. I think one of the hardest parts after years of lurking is just getting used to participating instead of staying invisible all the time, so hearing other people talk openly about anxiety and similar struggles genuinely helps.

And honestly I relate a lot to the "different cultures and memes" part too lol. English isn’t my native language either, so sometimes I read posts and feel like I accidentally walked into 15 years of internet inside jokes nobody explained to me.

The lurker thread has definitely been helping already though, and the community here feels surprisingly chill compared to most places online.

Also thanks for clarifying the ATF situation. For the longest time I genuinely thought the site had died because I couldn’t access it anymore.

And don’t worry, the novella was appreciated. Years of lurking trained me to read giant forum posts.

well, I am expert at composing novellas. I can rant on longer if you like lol, but I figure to try learn write shorter. Anyhow, Im glad you are enjoying time here. You will be surprised how many people do really struggle with getting involved with online social, or forums ect.. I think it is an art we develop at some point. No idea. I just get weirded out by most things then go into this shell, but I realise this and its become accepted as part of my brain function, so being social is not for everyone. However, it seems LC does try to encourage us all to be active and interact, which is fine, so as long we are able to chill here and enjoy then this is achievement.

Yeah, ATF, has had tons of attacks and so has LC. There are plenty of people who feel we are vile abusers and so on, so they constantly send DDOS and other viruses to try to shit on our doorstep, so this reason I was told is largely why ATF had to shut down and go through the huge task of fixing up the attacks, and the owner was going to close down, but decided not to thankfully.

Seems to me, from my limit knowledge that LC and ATF are the last frontiers for hosting our style of content sadly.
