. . . . . . . I would have posted this on my other account but this website has gotten so hostile that i literally had to make another account to feel safe posting this, and that's exactly what this is going to be about. The amount of hostility on these forums and this section alone is just appalling. there is nothing but negativity here- and no, i don't mean kids making threads about how they are depressed and need help, i mean those who have literally gone out of their way to mock and make fun of people on here, as well. sometimes specifically mocking people (i.e: i saw someone make a thread mocking depression posts which is just sick disgusting behavior considering these people are just reaching out) or whole groups of people/traits of people. it's just become such a hateful community that i've witnessed two people in the past three days leave the entire website or delete their accounts, and i'm sure there's more. i've seen cliques collectively hate on people enough to make them leave the website.
I personally use this website to cope with the fact that all of my friends are leaving for college and the lack of interaction and communication. but i've experienced more hate and stress on THIS website in the past week than i have my ENTIRE 4 years on tumblr- and that really says a lot.
and when I address this, literally 90% of this forum is doing this so take a moment to assess your behavior and think about how you are contributing to a harmful environment. the mods can only do so much, and the sad thing is, a lot of these cliques and people with nasty behavior ganging up on people is more hidden than anything or seen as drama that doesn't go against the rules. the mods can't fix you all's awful awful behavior. anyways- that's just my cup of tea for the night.
i've been spending my lurking time clicking on people's dragon cave eggs, you're welcome.

Couldn't have said it better.
Think before you post, people. It can do a world of good for both the person you're talking to and the community as a whole. And sometimes it's best to just walk away.
We seriously need to lighten up.

I guess, but I'm pretty sarcastic so I'm probably generally not helping either that said, it's good to know I probably haven't been a real problem

I completely agree. People need to chill and learn how to either help or just be quiet and not make a situation worse than it already is. I think on forums (especially now, as it's become less ~kid friendly~) it's a lot easier to just be sarcastic and mocking and callous. There are real people behind the screennames and such. Idk that's how I try to see it

I'm hardly on here so I hardly know what is going on, but I can see what you mean by that. I don't know I feel like we all should be on the same team here and I guess in a way we're not?

Er. I have not really seen this.
There has always been drama on these catbeardog forums. Nothing has really changed. I apologize of you feel 'threatened', but to be quite honest, I find it unnecessary? I apologize for the question mark, but...I just do not understand what you are talking about.
We are humans. We learn to adapt, or we don't. You can always leave if this is an issue, and adapt to the situation.

If you get offended by a simple joke, perhaps you shouldn't be on here. Why even come on here if you hate it? It makes no logical sense.

I don't even use this site for anything other than catching up with old friends, but yeah, I've been noticing a lot of... tension? I forgot how toxic the forums could be. I'm glad I could see people again, but I don't like that that means dealing with all the weird vibes I get from this place.
(Maybe I'm just bitter because I just found out one of the only people I even come here to talk to left, though? Idk.)
