Do I need a full introduction or am i already well known enough to simply not bother?

I won't be taking part in a lot of threads here, but did want to check out this infamous place.

That is all

Hello nice to see you here after ten posts more does open up.  Just so you know I have never had an account at AFF so know little about you or how they do things other than what I have heard here.  That also means I bear no grudges and any questions I ask are genuine and not just to provoke you.

I've been described as everything from the truth (some guy who wanted to bring autism rights offline and only partly succeeded, but built a nice online community in the process and a bit of media attention), to rumours that seem malicious and sneaky (I apparently have a really bad habit of banning people and censoring them for daring to question me on anything at all) to the outright bizarre (AFF is funded by global pharmaceutical corporations to bring back the soviet union).

Which one did you hear?
Title: Re: Hi everybody
Post by: Parts on January 25, 2012, 04:28:23 PM
Pretty much the entire spectrum but most people come here to bitch so  more on the banning and censoring side of it.

just a heads up. parts is lieing the fuck off of his face.

im zippo, i change my name from time to time though its 100% allowed for members to change there name at any time most of them have no other way of everything, so as this annoys me i try to be 100% better than them and put my name in my sig.

im your average canadian redneck, love guns, love explosions, love bad action movies.
hate the govt, hate the po po hate and i live on an island full of queefing hippies that voted in the green party [only place in canadia to do so, derrrp. [not that its a bad thng, i would do so to if i had any common sense]

Hi Gareth.

:welcome:

I'm glad to see from your post on AFF that you are really you.

That post was for 2 reasons:
1 - to verify to people that it's really me talking so they don't have to worry about it being a troll
2 - so that i can't easily pretend this isn't me

zippo - how is parts lieing? do tell....

I bet that's why Semi disappeared. He was getting too near the truth, so Gareth had him killed :CanofWorms:

I've been thinking a lot recently about the future of AFF as I personally won't have the time to keep running it personally and pikajedi is currently taking on a lot of the load - awesome as he is, and awesome as a lot of the other candidates for new mods are, we still need something more stable longterm.

In order to figure this out I need to look at some of the drama in the community and analyse it in more depth - drama apparently is pretty popular on this site ;)

Surprisingly little to be found here, when it comes to that. More to be found at AFF itself I would think.

But, this place does have interesting drama dealing possibilities.  :M

Actually i find here that their is generally a honestnot bullshit approach which is quite refreshing.
Callouts and arguments happen, sure, but they are not feared.
It allows for transparency and honesty and for shit to be resolved, sneakiness exposed, and people to have to make a case for what they are insinuating or shut up.
Misunderstandings too are exposed rather than not addressed.
It doesn't pander for fragile egos nor trolls nor emos.
That is not to say it is brutal either. Generally most people get on and we are a happy dysfunctional family of sorts.
I am more comfortable here than any other aspie forum bar none.
