Who cares? New users are good. Do you want to talk to the same 100 people all the time, or something? WTF.

This is supposed to be a Reddit replacement. Do you know everyone on Reddit?

I just get the idea that some people out there consider Saidit some kind of social club for themselves and their little buddies. It isn't. This site is going to the moon. Hopefully there will be thousands of new users, then millions.

Do you know everyone on Reddit?

There is a small community I'm a part of on reddit and people do get to know each other. Around 600 contributors, which is a bit larger than here. I talk to them on the phone, have exchanged holiday presents and seeds/plants. I'd call them friends. Some of them even dated, but that was always a disaster.

It's nice. Not that I'm against saidit growing, but there is a nice element to knowing who you're talking to rather than it being just some random person.

Wow. So it is a little social club for you. Yikes. Well, that explains a lot.

Sure, I mean, why do you go to a forum if you don't want to talk to people?

The fact that you can't think otherwise speaks volumes.

I'm glad you're having a revelation here but I'd like to know how you view it.

He's a shill and views it as a target to divide and destroy.

Uh, I don't really get personally involved with the thousands of random people on internet forums. Sometimes you might recognize handles if they keep making really good comments, that's about it though. Besides, I've seen photos of "reddit meetups" - shudder.

But it's not thousands here, it's a hundred people contributing maybe. I know most people here, I'd figure you would too.

Or have a really awesome handle like AmericanMuskrat. Seriously, I have noticed a difference in the frequency and tone of responses determinate upon my user name. Probably the best response I ever got was a name that made some people thought was female -- not intentionally of course.

Yeah, it's obvious you're here for the feelgoods because that's obviously lacking in some other part of your life. That's kinda sad. It goes a long way to explain why people get so worked up about this site though - they don't have anything else. Jeez, this is just a website. I post and comment on, what...two dozen maybe? I don't even keep track.

That doesn't make sense logically, simply because someone does something does not imply anything is lacking, it's simply what I enjoy.

You're a very pessimistic fellow.

You're also one of the most prolific and popular posters on here. Did you not know that?

Chipit's here cause he gets paid to demoralize.
