If the majority of posters vote for it, I will stop posting in all dropzone.com fourms. Decide my fate!!!

If you're not going to fill in some basic info in your profile, you won't get anybody to take you seriously. But then, you probably don't care anyhow.

Didnt even know you were posting in the first place.

I agree with Billy. It's hard for people to relate to you if you don't have any information about yourself. It's like one day you just show up and start throwing your opinions around and blindsiding people with your criticisms without giving anyone a chance to know who you are or where you are coming from.

Tell us who you are.

i will not fill in that information because i do not want too much personal info on the internet. also, i do not want to read that my opinions are invalid because:

1)i have x number of jumps
2)i jump at x dropzone
3)i have been in the sport x years
4)i live in x part of the country
...etc

Whatever floats your boat dude. You can stay or go it mean nothing to me. I could careless either way.

If you're going to stay don't be such a troll. If you leave.. So what.

You don't get why we care whether or not you're here at all. We all mostly know each other in here. Many know each other personally.

You judge others but are afraid of the same treatment being applied to you.

Would you be called jones0r perchance, on other forum(s)?

I don't have much of that posted on my profile, but I still get people to listen to my option. They don't always agree with me, but they listen. Could it be because of how I present myself?

If you do not feel apart of this community than maybe you should go where you feel you belong. If you are a skydiver than post your stats. That is not the personal of info, they are not asking for your social.

if fun were easy it wouldn't be worth having, right?

You don't, perchance, have your own custom-printed pull-up cord "business" do you?

Those are relevant factors in determining how much consideration to give to your information.

Which doctor would you rather have perform surgery on you: one who is fresh out of medical school, or one who has been performing surgery for several decades and has a history of solid performance?

Either way, stick around. Just expect to receive certain responses if you don't want to be forthcoming about your experience.

John, this is the B-O-N-F-I-R-E. No substance whatsoever. A chimp could have "valid input" here. However, maybe a chimp would be somewhat less intrusive and MORE valid.

[goose491 0]

There. Looks like I just tied "I don't give a damn" with "Don't post here anymore."

lol.

Who are you?

We've seen a lot of 'good-bye' threads in the past. Most generally, they are back within a few minutes. At any rate, you might let us know if, you are male/female, your line of work, interests, you know... the usual stuff. All, under the guise of anonimity. Gwon... give it a whirl!

That would depend upon what kind of a chimp he was. For example, if a gibbon was trying to give advice to a babboon, then that could be a problem... Or if a chimp was trying to tell a squirrel how to find nuts, then that could be a problem...

also, 6 people think I rock... or at least want me to stay. i didn't even vote in my own poll.

[weegegirl 2]

who cares? bonfire has gotten so completely lame it makes me want to puke. the same five people talking about their sex lives and how cool they think they are. bleah! i don't think i've read anything from you, so i say who cares. stick if you want, but if you leave you aren't missing much.

Lord, another dramatic good-bye.

See, how it works is, you say "Hi! I'm j0nes. I jump at [home dz], been doing so for X years. Love it. This place looks cool too. What's up?"

Then we go:"Hi j0nes! Welcome! Hang out and play with us!"

Then someone else says: "I've jumped there too! Do you know [manifest person]?"

And then you're connected because you know the same people some of us do, and you're vouched for. Then one fine day, you show up at a DZ or other gathering and meet some of us.


You started posting out of the blue with no introduction, forcing most people to assume you are a troll whose connection to this group is dubious.

Why don't you start over in the Introductions forum and give us a sense of who are you are?


Otherwise, buh bye.

you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

[masterrig 1]

Well said!
