The Lost Cherry Scrolls
http://fubar.com/the-lost-cherry-scrolls/b109466-689206

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away.... Oops wrong scenario... A long time ago on a site called Lost Cherry, A time when kindness, manners and friendship ran rampant. There was a discerning sense of ethics and etiquette. Now as the site has grown many of the old ways have become a thing of the past. Making way for a much more ¡°ME¡± orientated atmosphere. Luckily a lone internet scavenger stumbled across the dead cherry scrolls while rummaging through archives in a hidden data base. After hour upon hour the scrolls have finally been translated. Baby Jesus said unto the people of Cherryland...... This site is my gift to you, go forth my children, make friends, rate, fan and add in the name of love. I give you 10¡¯s and 11¡¯s for which to award our fellow brethren. Give them freely and give them often. The 1 through 9¡¯s are of no use and only there to fill space, using them may result in hurt feelings or a rash of 1¡¯s tossed right back at you. (rather damaging to your rating if you are new) When receiving an offer of friendship through a request, take into consideration the time and love that was given to you in this process, do not merely accept but take the time to visit this new friend and show them the same kindness. (ie: yeah fan back butthead) As you begin to age and acquire status, never forget how you got there or take for granted all the noobs struggling to be someone's friend. (don¡¯t think for one minute you have earned the right to be an ass) NSFW pictures are an option not a requirement. Enjoy and accept the pictures each member has chosen to share. Do not shout at a lady or gentleman demanding to see pictures that are not accessible to you. Should you be granted access remember to rate and comment as this is a gift to you. (peeking without showing appreciation deems you an ungrateful pervert) Creating drama is frowned upon,you are not expected to love everyone you come across, but you are expected to accept them for who they are. In the eyes of another they may be heaven sent. So your words will often hurt more than just the intended target. (in short if you don¡¯t have something nice to say STFU) Entering contests to win free stuff is encouraged, however begging and whining for help will get you nowhere if you have not stepped up to help others. This is something that takes much time and effort and is a reward not an obligation. (your time is not more valuable than others) Never assume that just because someone's status shows them online that they are actually hovering over their computer just waiting for YOU to contact them. Do not immediately become disgruntled and send abusive shouts because they did not respond in a timely manner. (this will often result in the block feature being tested on you) Last but not least, it takes less effort to be kind than it does to be cruel, we are born with kindness, but have been taught to hate. Forget what you have learned and just do what comes naturally.
