I confess that I signed onto 3playa. But I'm too slow catching on to make much sense of it. It really brings the Introduce Yourself sticky thread in the questions forum into sharp releif as a resourse.

stuart I thought you were going with 'the unconscious'?

I confess I try to hang out on 3playa but I find the format too time consuming and confusing to deal with. I quite like the eplaya format even though other people complain about it.

I confess I just bought my tickets.

i confess that i'm liking trey's format more the more i work with it, although i haven't posted since it changes from the old posting rules and i've forgotten the formatting i taught myself on the old eplaya.

i confess that, though i didn't mean to, i'm trying to buy tickets now cause i can always sell them off if i don't want to go/ am not around.

i confess that there were a lot of cop cars here at lunch.

I confess that soon I'll be living in a land of dial-up. Yes, they do exist. I confess that while I am sad about this, and that it will cut down on my webtime, both on the eplaya and other places, I think I'll get A LOT more work done and I'll be outside in the fresh air A LOT more often.

I also confess that one of my first projects in my new village (I've been told that's what it is) will be to get high speed internet there.

I confess I signed onto 3playa once during an eplaya outage, but for the same reasons as sparkleyvelvet and Ms. Fishy, I've never ventured back.

I further confess I'm about to put my cash into my account during hte bus run and then just do it.

for me a lot of it is that those people were the formative folks when i first signed on. there's a lot to learn from them... and sometimes they piss me off, individually, for various reasons, but on the whole i 'like' them. i really want to meet them someday. and one of these days i might even post on 3playa. someday.

btw, usually the subheading for a thread or the first few posts will tell you what it is 'about'.

I confess that I wish some of the 3playans would come back.



I confess that I'd love to impress the 3playans.



I confess I still hate them in a nasty resentful way.




I confess that fishy's aren't simple creatures.

Lydia, Bob, are here a lot, Trey has been stopping in lately, and other 3playans lurk, they are around.

Stuart are you the Stew on the Borg2 tribe?

I confess that I have not attempted to get a ticket yet. But I guess I confessed to that prematurely earlier. And there you have it. I am so ambivalent about it that I did not even care to find out when exactly the things went live. This is disturbing. First time in years that this has not been an event of paramount importance in my life. Gack. Crisis. To attempt to shoe-horn this into the hole or put the effort into tracking down something else that fits better. I confess that this deeply saddens me.

Yeah, but they never pm me "Oh beautiful fishy, oh fishy my sweets, what a witiful fishy you are." And so my ego goes unstroked. I remember them from my early days, just like Rian (Perhaps we are contemporanious) and I've always carried wounded feelings that I am some of what they were trying to escape from. But I thought they were cool. I hoped with dvd banned some would come back , but only trey did. Of course, Badger is bi-boardal too.

so is shitmouse, and sometimes tiara, and sometimes herself, and others.

some are around here, ms. fish.
and it's hard not to wonder who's running from what, but fuck it either way. it's just not worth wasting the time on, methinks.

i remember the altplaya, too... that died altogether, didn't it? i was on that more thatn 3playa at first (after the exodus) if i recall correctly. since then i think it faded into oblivion 'cause 3playa was visually simpler and the code was better. or something.

If it was anything like my call, then I would think the ticket would be most definitely waaaaaaaay down on the list.

I confess that I was on the 3playa fairly early on.

I confess that it was intelligent and resourceful.

I confess that this probably wasn't what I was looking for, and that I am more for 'stirring the pot' than making the stew.

I confess that I wasted too much time between the three boards, and finally decided to stick with this one.

I confess that I think we got the best of that deal.

I confess I want to run to 3playa and say "Rob the Wob in your faces, 3bies!"

I refuse to take sides on this one (not that anyone's asking me to). Yeah, I've seen the snide comments over there, but I've seen them here also.

My favorite description of the e-playa was (I think) blyslv's: "the land of endless affirmations". Hee.

Rian, I'm sorry. I know you do. I've been trying to express it as my feelings of rejection rather than as rivalry in deference to both you and Lydia. I'm sorry if I've crossed a line with you. In some funny way, this exxageratted psychodrama that I've been playing today is helping me get to some of my hurt feelings, which I hope means that I'll get beyond and over them.

Funny how one part of me can be adult, whille another part is in a thumb-sucking tail spin.

i don't really mind it in itself... just that people will have their own reads on it and it has the possibility of making the rift wider.

i guess i see how i feel sometimes when the 3playans are snide about ye old eplaya... and i wonder if it might work both ways.

*shrug*

that said, it isn't really my worry, i s'pose.
