Which again gets back to my point: your group doesn't seem to appeal to LLers very much. Instead of "If you come by and let us scan you, we'll be your friends," try a different approach -- something that will appeal to us, something that isn't stereotypical of archetypal "We're a bunch of legits out to make friends" fly-by-night communities since the dawn of Bnet.
Quote:(I will alway's be flamed)
Pretending to be persecuted won't get you anywhere, either. You haven't been flamed at all yet -- I certainly haven't made a personal attack on you -- so put down your martyrdom complex and read what we've said, because you've tacitly ignored everything that's been said in favor of a "can't we all just get along" approach. And you know what? That's not going to work.
Moreover, look at how you're handling the situation:
(1) You ask us all to come visit your channel.
(2) You claim that we've been flaming you.
Now, what logic on this earth makes you want to hang around with people who you perceive to be flaming you?
So, suppose we have been flaming you. That means you (apparently) happen to like hanging around with people who don't seem to like you very much. Furthermore, it means that you would like to build a community of such people, which gets back to the point I made a few posts ago about how NOT to go about creating a community. Namely, don't attempt to amass players simply for the sake of having many players, because you could potentially end up with a bunch of players you don't really like. (Lots of guilds/clans routinely made that mistake.) Secondly, start a community by befriending people. Claiming that we're flaming you ain't gonna work!
Or suppose that we haven't been flaming you. Then we're not particularly hostile toward you; we merely disagree with things that you've said. That sort of thing is totally managable, and it's something that's open to discussion. You might learn something, or vice versa.
