hey guys I'm a bit tired of the "attention whoring" label being tossed around.

[cookiepuss]

I mean it's dumb to call people on the internet attention whores. fuck of course we are.:rolleyes:

NONE of you come here to be ignored. Face it every single one of us wants our voice to be heard and that's attention seeking no matter how you slice it. there is nothing wrong with it. it's the nature of the medium we are using. Thus what I'm saying is...calling someone an attention whore IS NOT INSULTING. stop using it as a insult.

ok. flame on.

[b i o n i c]

i was totally attention whoring yesterday, but no one gave a shit

[Bob]

some people do it more than others though. like if you've got nothing to contribute to a thread, at all, but you post in every single thread you read anyway, just to get noticed. that would be attention whoring, in my book. or if you make boring thread after boring thread after boring thread and refuse to learn to stop making boring threads, that's attention whroing too.

but contibuting to a conversation, making a thread here and there (even a few self-serving boring ones are forgiveable), making a joke that doesn't suck, that's just conversing. it's like if you're having a conversation and someone is always just interrupting and shouting, trying to be the center of attention constantly, that's attention whoring, that's annoying, there's such a thing as it

[Kid Presentable]

Saying it's not an insult doesn't make it so.

[adam_f]

You've made me think that I'm a whore, Bob. Thanks. Ass.

[King of Rock $]

*snore*

[cookiepuss]

Saying it's not an insult doesn't make it so.

well, I suppose. But I'M not insulted by it! I'm taking control of the term! I'm gonna make attention whore t-shirts and buttons and post-it notes..maybe even a bumper sticker.(y)

Consumate attention-whoring.

i wonder how random the board would look one day if everyone put everyone else on ignore and then just posted whatever... it would be like the types of people who don't hear what the people around them say, just wait their turn to speak (or in this case type)...

Ha! Are you saying there would be a big difference?

yeah but bob, one man's trash is another man's treasure. boring is relative or in the eye of the beholder...or something. yeah.

[g-mile7]

it just sad since the ones tossing that label are the one calling attention to something people might have notcied but wasn't bother enough to waste time to mention. Its not important, but yet people feel the need to try and bring someone down when they are not doing anything to affect anyone in a negative fashion.

It's like complaining your kids are watching too much violence on TV, simple answer=turn the TV off and regulate on yo kids. Same goes with this board: you dont like a certain person post or pictures= dont pay em no mind or just click out that thread quick. I mean its not like Cookie got a gun to yo head saying "peep my threads/post bitch or commit sucide right now!"....shoot:mad: FLAME ON!!

[King of Rock $]

I got a question, why do people write more than 5 lines about subjects like this, and do other people really read these posts?

Thats 2 questions

[cookiepuss]

wwwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrddddddddddddddd!

[kll]

Ha! Are you saying there would be a big difference?


Hmmm.... good point...

[adam_f]

Robin Williams has been attention whoring for years, and he has an Oscar.

[King of Rock $]

a tension whore

[enree erzweglle]

I got a question, why do people write more than 5 lines about subjects like this, and do other people really read these posts?When I'm reading these boards, I read those types of posts nearly exclusively. The one-liner posts, especially the ones written by a particular few, I skip outright in the same way that they likely just skip [my] lengthy posts.

[adam_f]

Name names.

Yeah I read longer posts but not when the subject is "the label "attention whore"" and people type titangraphs with many words and sentences and strong emotional undercurrents

[fucktopgirl]

haha true enought, how ironic he!

[Bob]

yeah but bob, one man's trash is another man's treasure. boring is relative or in the eye of the beholder...or something. yeah.

yeah, but certain stuff is just boring to everyone except the person telling about it. for example, see the thread i just made about stamps. i can get away with it because i'm incredibly charming but if anyone else had tried to make a thread about stamps it would have been attention whoring

[cookiepuss]

lol. oh so charm is a big factor. ok so the people we call attention whores here, just aren't charming enough to get away with it. I get it now.(y) :p

[g-mile7]

Yeah I read longer posts but not when the subject is "the label "attention whore"" and people type titangraphs with many words and sentences and strong emotional undercurrents


Least it's someone TRYING to be real. You don't like it, don't read it. The statements written more then likely ain't meant for you to begin with.

[Lyman Zerga]

AM I AN ATTENTION WHHHORE??????

YES!!!!!!

DO I CARE???????

YES!!!!!!

I MEAN NO!!!!!!!!!

[sercomdj01]

You don't need to toss with a whore.

[Chicka B]

According to Bob I'm an attention whore. I reply to almost every thread I read, but I'm just trying to be nice to the thread starter. And I make boring threads, but not a lot of them. :(

[kleptomaniac]

i don't think i'm an attention whore :/




but you know, enough about me, what about you?


....so what do you think of me?

[g-mile7]

So, you have to punch your weight.

[Bob]

i don't know what that means

[Nuzzolese]

It means fighting in your own weight class. Like a welter weight shouldn't enter a heavyweight fight, and he also shouldn't enter a flyweight contest.

[Bob]

oh. yeah, i guess. except you're not really fighting anyone, you're just sort of doing it to yourself. it's more like, you have to beat your own meat.

you know, like in rocky

[Nuzzolese]

Or, you have to catch your own chicken. Rocky did that too.

[Bob]

you have to manipulate your own log

[Nuzzolese]

It's not so much the weight of your log, but how you manipulate it.

[Bob]

....i'm trying to think of ambiguous rambo references

[Pres Zount]

What do we call you then? Just 'whore'?

[cookiepuss]

hookers. we should just call eachother hookers.

[zorra_chiflada]

yes, everyone wants attention. the way we go about it is the key thing though.

[Kid Presentable]

Yeah cause I got no bosom, man. So I can't influence shit.

[zorra_chiflada]

Ignore my alias - I'll use this account for attention-whoring now. (!)

[Lex Diamonds]

Attention whores are like regular whores: as long as there's neglected perverts around, they'll thrive like cancer.

Why does it have to be 'perverts' that use whores?

Wonder here therefore combines a suggestion of emotional impact, concentrated in the specific tragic response of pity and fear, with an indication that the crucial constituents of the complex plot are to produce no emptily sensational effect, no mere coup de theatre, but the culmination of the comprehensible design of the action.

that's how you attention whore in university. thanks, Aristotle.(y)

Analysis shows that the adhesive used on Post-It notes is an acrylate polymer. Adhesive left behind will result in pages sticking together. Dirt will accumulate on the sticky surface, necessitating conservation treatment in order to remove it.

i don't remember that thread about stamps but i bet it was pretty good
