well, now we know. shmoopy's just on vacation. but why did she pull all her stuff off the site?? something's fishy. and ya....jammeister..havent seen him around either.

Can't say that I miss him though.

/me gets assaulted by the JM fanclub

I have honestly assumed that we were dealing with JM under a different name, recently... Probably an unfair assumption, it was just that some of the arguments lately looked suspiciously familiar. He had been a lot more sociable lately, though, i'm probably just being paranoid.

wait so shmoopy changed her nick to ela, because someone insulted her work, and then she removed all her skins and supposedly went on vacation............ur saying Jameister33 has something to do with her skins being removed and her reluctancy to visit the message board? > > bad boy jams

MrGupps...nobody said anything of the kind.

MrGupps
I certainly was not suggesting any connection between JM and Shmoopys disaappearances...only that I havent seen either of them latley.

holy conspiracies batman!!

Listen guys,

Cheer up k?
I’m back. Sigh But, the reason I’m backing away because the stress of being “shmoopy” was just too heartbreaking for me especially after getting an email from one of the admins I loved and respected a few weeks ago that basically stated I ‘hijack threads’ and that people had emailed her complaining about my activity on the board even though I felt that I was barely posting at all as it was and the little I posted was positive at least in my heart. But ‘shmoopy chat’ is not allowed on the boards. My bad. 

I love Stardock…I love so many people here…I contribute my artistry out of love and loyalty to this site and to the people whom inhabit this place as regulars.

Oh I had a good cry, don’t get me wrong. But I never felt I’d hijacked any threads…the last thread I really posted on regularly was the ChatroomMarathon thread by sweet Elfkura herself and if I can’t freely speak there on a place that touts itself as a “chatroom marathon” then I suppose I’m pretty much doomed to not speak any place on this board without being deemed a “HIJACKER” of sorts.

But this isn’t some “Drama”…I WISH! No, this is me…fighting for my life…and I just don’t have time to be hurt by anyone else who wants to hate me for the fact that people might actually ‘like’ me. The folks who thought I was so ‘awful’ know who they are…and I won’t name names. I don’t care. I want to make it to my 37th birthday in one piece.

Elfy was right, I’m a ‘softshell’ and no matter how hard I try I’ll NEVER be a hard one…nor do I WANT TO BE. Having depth, having soul, having an ability to reach other souls should be celebrated here…NOT abhorred.

So, smile and remember that you are part of the good that makes this world go round…

((((BIG HUGS)))

P.S. No comments on my works EVER had ANYTHING to do with this. All I EVER had were kind and polite remarks from the kindest of folks and the funnh ones gave me giggles.

Nuff said? Yes, Nuff said. Carry on troops, and love your fellow man/woman/child....give credence to those whom ask of your heart for an answer you have the ability to give from your soul. Be happy...be alive...be whole.

Shmoops, I love you just the way you are!!!!!

Thank you, Gadge

I sure do love you too!

And I don't mean to 'cheapen' the word love when I say that, because...I 'honestly' mean it...

I only wish more folks did mean it. ...

And yes, Shmoopy IS SWEETDREAMS.

shmoopy. I started this thread cause I handent seen you latley and I know these been a lot of tension on the board (which I try not to get involved in) , and I thought something had happened to scare you or push you away.
Glad to see you're still around.

As "sweetdreams" I am reborn. Nobody had pre-concieved notions...I can be 'male' and 'fit in'...seems females are downgraded here automatically SORRY BUT TRUE.

But as Elvee told me, I can't stop being ME and he was right.

I LIKE IT!!!!!!

crissy14, your thread made me cry because I love you all so much and I don't know if I can ever fit in again.

Sweets, are you crazy!!! In my book you are a goooooood part of the heart and soul of this site and of course, *the world of chocolate*!!!!!!!

Shmoopy, I missed all the drama of your leaving.
All I gotta say is. Say what you wanna Say, when you wanna say it! And carry a big stick to smack'm when they try to shut you up.

Hi Shmoopy, you have been sorely missed. I don't know all the details of your problems here, but no doubt there have been some pretty foul attitudes about. Hopefully the post by Frogboy will get noticed by all (Chill Out) and everyone will take heed. As far as "hijacking threads", some of the admins need to follow that advice theirselves. Not to mention certain 4-letter words. I think most of the admins have used some unacceptable language at one time or another. Not that it's my place to judge, but don't the rules apply to everyone? See ya later. (((((HUG)))))

Not sure if I would say this site downgrades females. It might seem that way because the females that participate are out numbered probably 5-1.So as this site might appear a mans site, that doesn't mean that females are downgraded. I've mentioned this before that we need more female skinners and more females on the message board. We started getting sore women and I guess some people feel threatened.I guess they don't like outgoing women. As I get along with males and females I'am not bothered. That doesn't mean that I get along with all males or females on this site because I don't. But I will be friendly. Like I also said before, when you talk on this board pretend that your talking to your mother.

WOM...THEN I'D HAVE TO SHOUT....SHE'S DEAF [85]...

I think It would take more then Five to One, but thats another story. Dreams are nice .

WOM that talking to your mother is a good analogy

Hey Gadget Girl good to see you on the board

nice to have u back sweet dreams, missed ur presence on the forums.

Being of the female persuasion, I have to say it can be a little intimidating sometimes to post messages knowing that there is a 5 to 1 ratio on this site!

I have leaned working in my profession as a decorative painter, I deal with a lot of men(plumbers,carpenters,electricians,contractors etc...) that the best thing is to just get in there and get your message across in a positive and friendly manner. You have to show that you are strong but not appear weak because they will eat you alive!!!

I personally think that if this site were just men it would be pretty boring!!!
I think the women here balance all you guys quite well!!!

Sorry Jafo
