Part of the reason I go to the NeoBoards is that I want to give my jelly away in the way I think best, and that's to the people who I think deserve it. I still have 572, and I was getting rid of it fast until they warned me for making official giveaway boards. If somebody, anybody wants any, neomail me (Still one per person
).
Another part of it is that I like to watch some of the fights that go on (Which I have more sense than to participate in). Think of it like reality TV- You see normal people do stupid things, and people who think they're better do the same things, only 10 times as bad (For example, take ten random Help Chatters who tell off someone for spamming or say "reported!!1", thus generating ten pointless messages and create ten times as much spam). I'm sure that most of you could agree that it's amusing to watch their behavior sometimes. Yes, it is like a moth to a flame, like you said, Morningstar, and I'm afraid I can't help myself sometimes.
Of course, another reason is that there's GOOD in the NeoBoards. It's rare that you'll find it, but occasionally there are good people who do great things and people who DO not act immature, foolish, or are ignorant. It's these people who you look out for. Yes, PPT offers plenty of these same people (;)), but I just find that people don't post very often here (relative to the NeoBoards). People here are polite, mature, (usually) intelligent (Of course, there are a few exceptions, such as mys- Err, scratch that), and your posts are always helpful and welcoming, but there comes a point when I miss seeing the insanity of the NeoBoards.
It's like an addiction. You know it's risky, but you do it anyway. If not for all the lunatics who report for trivial reasons and monitors who give the reporters the benfit of the doubt, maybe people would go there and be active more often, but the NeoBoards aren't and probably never will be perfect. But still I find myself drawn to the kindness of some of the people there and the amusing nature of the others. People probably have and probably will continue to report me for spamming or giveaways, etc. because they assume the worst much too quickly, and it is these people who have taught me never to be like them in that respect.
I only intend to make these visits while I still have jelly that's at room temperature, and by the time I get rid of it all or it falls below 32 degrees for no legitimate reason, I'll probably be sick of the NeoBoards by then.
My stubbornness to keep to what I have already arranged for these jellies keeps me from just giving them out randomly, and my paranoia about money tree thieves keeps me from putting it there, so I just give it to people around the Help Chat, because that, of course, is very likely where the most helpful people are. Of course, it is also one of the best places to find anti-spam zealots, Report-Happy Hyperactive NeoBoard Police, spammers, and scammers, but it's a price I'm willing to pay to lend a few folks a hand and give something nice to nice people.
Once again, any of you are more than welcome to neomail Felrum_jelly_cube for a free piece of jelly, and the last one I give away will be a Jolly Green Jiggling Jelly which is worth around 40k.
