oh lord, this site layout brings back some memories!

I'm still looking for the one that used to blink.

If you want to befriend someone of the opposite gender and don't want to seem "interested", how?

I'm sure you can have an online friendship with a guy without any sexual advances. If you're just kind of cold and matter of fact and not too overly friendly it shouldn't be a problem at all.

But really what is the motivation for the friendship? Are you seeking to gain knowledge or something? I think if you are just looking for companionship without any entanglements it would be easier if there wasn't the whole male/female thing involved.

Anyone remember the longest post ever?

Not a problem. Loaded in less than 4 minutes, but I noticed that I was complaining on that post about it taking my computer 1 minute and 53 seconds to load so things are slowing down. Now I get Yeti's reply too, he wrote the last thing that was said on that post... we were racing to 6,789 replies at that point. And what is the May 13, 2014 date everywhere? Is that when the original Help died? :(

I could be wrong. I'm still trying to decipher what YETI said up there. And yeah I didn't mean we were the only ones that replied on that post, just that we were there an awful lot. Like every day for years... my fingers are itching now. I'm crawling in the rabbit hole, send for help if I don't make it back.

Have people forgotten how to respectfully disagree?

I think it's a trend that comes from being anonymous while using a computer. When you actually were face to face with people discussing things you tried to be civil, now that everyone is a blip on a screen it's much easier to just make fun of people or get into heated arguments and threaten each other. It means nothing really, until someone cracks and shoots up facebook... that's the problem. Well that and people whose whole reality has been computer oriented. Maybe that's why so many kids are going off, they really don't live in the real world.

I'm not going there. First of all my computer isn't as good as it used to be, like a lot of thing in my life now, and I'm afraid it would just lock up for 10 or 15 minutes. I've heard bad stories from other people about what that post did to their computers...

Plus if I did go there I'd likely be up until 5 AM just trying to read through what was going on there. It's probably a lot like a diary of my life for a few years.

Yeah Caitherra, and Hasta, and Pianoman, and wait was noface Y E T I?? He was, wasn't he??? I think everyone else was afraid to download the monster. Plus we changed the name every couple of months and had races to 1,000 replies, then 2,000 replies etc. etc. etc... boy do I ever remember.

Euro Brides-To-Be

I don't think as many people want out of Scandinavia as want out of Russia. Might be a harder sell to get one of those Icelandic goddesses to move in with you.

Im not sure whether I should walk past this guy near or leave him lots of space still.

I think he's gotten over being scared of you. I guess for a while he was really freaked out when he saw you but not anymore. I wouldn't treat him any differently than anyone else. Just keep walking down the street when you see him now. In fact if I were you, I would go ahead and smile and say "hi".. what the heck. I mean you two have known each other for at least ten years, might as well act like it.

And I wouldn't really initiate a conversation, just a passing hello but if he stops and talks it might do both of you some good. I think there might be some things that could be said between the two of you, who knows. It might make both of you feel better.

Yeah it's crazy how long it's been. I think Help stopped being Help 5 or 6 years ago and now suddenly it's back but everyone has changed... well except me of course. Okay I just wanted to make sure you weren't really married to Pianoman, I remember the online wedding now.

Your mission was to Nevada? That's kind of like hanging out in your back yard isn't it? lol. I thought just guys did the two year mission thing, I didn't realize girls did that too. Well congratulations on your marriage and good luck in Utah. Yeah we have all the trees here in Tennessee, trees and hills for miles.

I'm guessing you're a girl, I can't remember a guy ever saying "I want to be friends with this girl that I'm not interested in sexually". So yeah any guy you befriend will more than likely try to make the relationship more than you want it to be, that's what guys generally do. Of course I'm a dinosaur and men are changing a lot, maybe there are actually guys out there who can just be friends with a girl these days. It's possible, heck people don't even know what gender they are anymore.
