This post is basically to say goodbye to everybody at GuM.
Not that I've really been here for the past few months anyway. And that's what I want to use this post to explain.
GuM is probably the best source out there on the net for people specifically trying to use DDR to lose weight. I saw this and decided to try to break into this community and make friends who I could talk with and get encouragement/support from. It really didn't work as I planned.
From this community, I have garnered only one truly good friend. I do <3 that person ^_^. But what I have noticed the entire time I've been here is the amazingly strong clique situation going on. It's impossible to try to get anything more than politeness if you haven't been here from almost the start with these people. I'm not going to name any names. That would imply that I'm mad. I'm really not. I don't want this post to be taken as me just being mad because I didn't get to be friends with everyone. I just wanted to post it because if I felt this way, maybe somebody else does.
I've made 682 posts. That's a damn lot of posts. And most of those were in my blog. Unlike most of the blogs on this website, mine is actually a blog of my life, not just a core and then lots of crazy extra posts. There are a lot of really close people on this board, and that's a good thing. But I couldn't connect with the board as a whole because every time I turned around, there was some post just spouting random irrelevant stuff that I didn't understand. The total effect was that I felt left out. At first I thought it was just because I was a n00b and I'd get over it once I'd been here a while. That didn't happen though. The group got tighter but I don't feel that I was ever included in it.
Once again, I don't want this post to be taken as a random spout of anger and bitterness, because that totally is not what it is. I just wanted to post it because if anybody else feels like I do, maybe something can change so that others feel more welcome. With that, I'm off to search for a board where I can bust in and make some really good friends. Farewell GuM.
