Gotta Love It Here!!!

[iloveshania]

Hi:

I just wanted to say that these forums are great! I love my online family here! We're not perfect, but we sure are fun! I get kinda frustrated at times, but you all are really doing a bang-up job!

As for the sites I've only really spent time at shania.net and I think it's the best around. Although I have'nt been to shania.org or stwain.com, so no offence to you. I have used stwain e-cards, they're awesome! Merry Christmas!!! http://www.shaniaforums.com/smile.gif

I agree about the forums. http://www.shaniaforums.com/smile.gif

The sites have thier strengths and weaknesses. shania.org was the second shania site I found and is very good for news, pics and Articals. The designs simple, wicth is what I like. But there are a couple bad points but they are so minor.

shania.net, well what can say? Normaly flashy designs put me off. But Matt has content to his site not just design. I put shania.net above Shania.org only because of its perfect mix. And the Games are a perfect way to waste time

stwain.com, its coming along nicely. The e-cards are cool. But without alot of the features working yet its too early for me to pass judgement.

Overall you all deserve 5 stars out of 5.

Hi Ben. I`m glad you like shania.org. You mentioned that you didnt like a couple of things but didnt say what they were. If you let me know then I will see if I can fix them and provide a better site for everyone.

Merry Christmas http://www.shaniaforums.com/smile.gif

Well they are really small things.

The Links page takes a while to load up. And the open in new window on there is quite annoying.

Thats the only real compiant I have.

I love it here too!
This is the first place I come to when I'm on the net and theres always something interesting to read. I have to say that our forum family must be the best on the whole WWW. I bet not all forums have as good as a relationship as we all do. We all know each other's personalities and stuff like that. I just think it's pretty cool that Shania can bring people from all around the globe and help make them a family. I don't want to sound corny or anything, but I consider this my second home.

The links page has quite a few images on there so with a slow internet connection it will take a while to load sometimes. I could fix that by losing the image links but if I did that I wouldnt be promoting the other websites very well..

As for them opening in a new window thats what it is supposed to do. All links that go to external websites open in a new window so that people can visit them without losing where they are on shania.org. If they decide they have finished with the site then its easy to just close the old window anyway.

Fair Enougth.

Ben,
About that stuff you said that it's too soon to judge my site or something like that, I agree. http://www.shaniaforums.com/smile.gif Sorry about all the "down time" around sTwain.com folks! My site has not really been 100% up since uhh...like October and getting all the features up has been coming along very slowly. During my winter break from school I've been spending more time working on my site and it has so far been coming along great. I'm working on a new design. Its not a whole new look, it's just an update to the current design. If all goes well, everything should be in 100% operation by the first week of January. Anyway, just thought I'd share the latest scoop on sTwain.com.

Almost a year has passed from the time you posted this message Monica. What's changed since then?

[Marine]

Off the forums a LOT of course.

On the forums not much, we've had new members (what am I saying? i'm a new member too since that post LOL)
Upgraded to vB new smilies and some of us have become really good freinds and we are bound together by our forum family values.
Of course we've had people come in and rock the boat and we've stuck together against them.
Annnnd we've done some fightin' amongst ourselves but in the end we're all still familiy.

On the forums, not much
I take that back, we HAVE had a lot happen! :D

[Curti]

the best thing since then was when i joined ;)

I guess I've gotten cynical Matt! I've been crapped on so many times by people I didn't know and didn't do anything to! I've been sent nasty, extremely hurtful e-mails by people who didn't have the guts to face me here! I've tried to be caring and supportive of people here, just to have it thrown back in my face, and be accused of thinking I'm everyones mother! I've had people cry on my shoulder! I've helped people get through suicidal periods! I've stayed up many nights, all night, listening to the problems of people on this board! I've tried to be supportive and understanding of people even after everyone else wrote them off! (ie CJB) But none of that seems to count for ****! I could drop off the end of the earth tomorrow and nobody would even notice! My friends are mostly gone and those that remain don't seem to give a crap anymore! I seem to have to prove myself over and over again and I've paid my dues! I've given my heart to this place and had it ground into the dust! Sometimes it hurts so much to come here knowing that if I don't gage every word just right somebody's gonna jump down my throat! Sometimes I wanna leave so bad, but I can't! This place is all I have outside of these four walls! I feel trapped and afraid and alone! I wish that once in awhile people would remember that I'm only human! I wish that the people here who claim to love me would love me when I'm down and not only when I'm there for them! I wish that my own wife had more faith in my abilities than her friends!

That's what's happened Matt! I'm just not as strong as everybody wants me to be! Sorry!

Monica :cry:

[manu_georgine]

Moni:

Well first of all I really don't know why you keep bringing our personal issues in here! You say that I don't have faith in your abilities? That's not true! I have faith in you, more than you know! But! I can't always agree with you! Why would I? I don't always agree with my family, my friends, not even myself! That doesn't mean I don't have faith in their abilities! Well maybe except for my own. I'm sorry if you feel like you have lost your friends because of me, but I don't agree with this either. Who have you lost? Whenever you post something about your problems EVERYONE, not only your friends support you and want to help you! Why do you only want to see the bad things? Why do you never believe me when I tell you that people love you, why do you never believe them? Do you think this whole board just consists of crapheads who tell you what you want to hear? I don't think so! Just because you had some arguments with some people doesn't mean that everybody thinks like them! I get e-mails from Carol, Ben, Heather and Silvi, and forwards from others, but people here write you with their problems all the time! And I don't think any of them would say "nah I'm not gonna reply to her" if you wrote them with yours! I'm sorry that you feel trapped here (and believe me I know how it feels!), but if you didn't only ever see the bad things you would find out that people care about you more than I've ever seen people care about others in a public place like this. I know you won't believe me or get mad because I say this, but people don't always blame things on you and you are not always the bad guy! Not at all. If one or two people don't like you, why would you care? They are just not worth your friendship then! In case this sounds familiar to you, that's exactly what you wrote to Silvi! Why should it be different for you? For me? For anyone? Nobody can be loved by everyone! Not even the most popular person (who is, when I think of it, probably me :funny:, just kidding! :p) is liked by everyone!

So come down from wherever you are, because sometimes YOU are the craphead, not always the others!

I thought that if I tell you this in public maybe you will finally believe me. Because I'm not telling you something and tell other people different. Sometimes I just want to slap you silly! But most of the time I just want to tell you how much I love you, and that whatever happens, I will always love you, and no one, not even Caro The Great herself will ever change that! :p

You told me many times to get a grip and see the good things, and I've never seen as many good things as I did in the last year. So now it's my turn. GET A GRIP BABY!!! :love: :love: :love:

Moni:

Well first of all I really don't know why you keep bringing our personal issues in here! I guess because our personal issues and lives are connected with this place!

You say that I don't have faith in your abilities? That's not true! I have faith in you, more than you know! But! I can't always agree with you! Why would I? I don't always agree with my family, my friends, not even myself! That doesn't mean I don't have faith in their abilities!Maybe it's because you're the first person to ever believe in me and a part of me thinks that someday you'll wake up and realize it was a mistake!

Well maybe except for my own. I have more faith in you than you'll ever know and someday you'll see what a beautiful person you really are!

I'm sorry if you feel like you have lost your friends because of me, but I don't agree with this either. Sorry baby! I guess I worded that wrong! I don't think I've lost anyone because of you! I'm just sad that so many of the people I've loved here are gone!

Whenever you post something about your problems EVERYONE, not only your friends support you and want to help you! I know that, but it's so hard to express my feelings! Sometimes when things are just going so bad I'll say or do something stupid and some of my friends seem to jump all over me! I just think that they should know me well enough to know that I would never deliberately hurt one of them and that if I say something stupid it's because I'm feeling crappy! Maybe that's asking alot, but I don't expect more than what I try to give!

Why do you only want to see the bad things? Why do you never believe me when I tell you that people love you, why do you never believe them? I've spent my whole life being told that I'm no good! It's hard to get past that sometimes!

Do you think this whole board just consists of crapheads who tell you what you want to hear? Of course! *lol* j/k

I'm sorry that you feel trapped here (and believe me I know how it feels!), but if you didn't only ever see the bad things you would find out that people care about you more than I've ever seen people care about others in a public place like this. I just feel trapped by life sometimes! I feel so completely useless at times! Especially lately, because I've been so sick! You have no idea how much it hurts me when I can't even walk up the stairs without taking a rest or help you carry the groceries home! I feel like a prisoner in my own body!

I know you won't believe me or get mad because I say this, but people don't always blame things on you and you are not always the bad guy! Not at all. If one or two people don't like you, why would you care? They are just not worth your friendship then! In case this sounds familiar to you, that's exactly what you wrote to Silvi!I give good advice! I wish I would listen to it once in awhile!:)

Nobody can be loved by everyone! Not even the most popular person (who is, when I think of it, probably me :funny:, just kidding! :p) is liked by everyone! I try so hard to be a good, giving person and when people dump on me, especially when I haven't done anything, I feel like I failed them somehow! Like if I had only tried harder to be a good person they wouldn't be dumping on me! I know I set unrealistic expectations for myself, but I don't know how to change that!

So come down from wherever you are, because sometimes YOU are the craphead, not always the others! H@ll! I'm usually the craphead! :p

I thought that if I tell you this in public maybe you will finally believe me. Because I'm not telling you something and tell other people different. I always believe you! I just don't really understand how anyone could love me!

Sometimes I just want to slap you silly! But most of the time I just want to tell you how much I love you, and that whatever happens, I will always love you, and no one, not even Caro The Great herself will ever change that! :p I love you more than I thought was humanly possible!

You told me many times to get a grip and see the good things, and I've never seen as many good things as I did in the last year. So now it's my turn. GET A GRIP BABY!!! :love: :love: :love: Believe me baby I'm holding on for life!
