Xeno has been invited, but using the email he had on the original Help before he ever left. (He posted it in. number of places.) So it might be old/unused now.
Every user that was part of HTG (That wasn't here already) has also been invited.

Outside of those I don't know if any of them have been directly invited.

I havenโ€™t! Usually stay โ€œnearโ€ the ground. ๐Ÿ˜„
(Assuming youโ€™re referring to sky diving. Otherwise it will be my second complete misunderstanding on one post. Iโ€™m struggling.)

Hello to all..

Welcome! Ideally, things should function pretty close to what youโ€™re familiar with, save for a few tweaks here and there. Most notably, invites are done by tagging people in a reply rather than the invite box at the bottom of the page. Just type the @ sign and start typing somebodyโ€™s name and it should fill it in for you. ๐Ÿ˜€

And if there are any specific questions youโ€™ve got, feel free to let them loose and we can help you find your way! ๐Ÿ˜‰

Or even better... one annivon for the poster and the poster replies ... and another icon for non posters annon replies.

That gets to be the same issue. If the OP is replying to multiple anonymous users, there is no way to identify them.

So what ... as long as users can see which replies are from the original poster.

In that case we might as well leave it as is instead of making the functionality more confusing. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Anyone remember the longest post ever?

@PepperJ - I think you meant to be posting that on this post?

@HastaIguanaPianoman - I can't speak for her. I think she's living alone right now, but we honestly don't speak as much as we once did. I think she's doing alright for the most part, but I would have thought she would come back to see everybody by now. ๐Ÿ˜…

I think the individual should be responsible for their content and not be under the protection of anonymity. This means that one have to think more about what one post.

Within this setup there is already a sort of mystery as of who the individuals really are, and there is enough room for being anonymous already in that regards.

If one cannot own up to what one say or become scared of someone finding out, then maybe those things should not be posted online at all for all to see.

Does not mean it have to be that way. Its just my opinion on the matter.

I can definitely see the direction youโ€™re coming from, and can agree in some cases. But in a place like this, people can want to be anonymous to avoid their family โ€œfinding outโ€. Some may be confused sexually and not want to โ€œcome outโ€ to people in โ€œreal lifeโ€. Even if they can hide behind a screen name, the anonymous posting gives people an extra layer of comfort, and thatโ€™s the goal.

We should focus on making users comfortable, not necessarily have the focus on making it difficult to troll. Many people may post the things they need help with if not for the anonymity, so instead bottle the feelings and never move on.

Sometimes all somebody needs is to be able to get some things off of their chest, and they canโ€™t do that if they donโ€™t have an outlet to let it go for fear of being judged or ridiculed. Sometimes we need fresh eyes and a new perspective rather than somebody that may already know the story and try to tell us the same thing they always say.
