What are you waiting for?
Well..what can be said here. I love Fubar for what it was; but not entirely sure I like what it has become.
Hear me out Fu. I'm from the Cherry Tap days. Once upon a time Rate,Fan, Like were all commonplace occurences upon all our profiles whereby we gladly accepted friend requests from those who followed those unspoken, apparently understood basics that Cherry Tap expected of its members towards one another & those basic occurrences were commonplace. Now, we often have to send/post reminders to fan please.
As time has passed, the evolution from Lost Cherry to Cherry Tap to what we now know as Fubar, seems to have created a dynamics change whereby the basics previously mentioned, have evolved into a bit of a hit and miss proposition. Often I(we) have visitors to our profiles who merely polish our bling for achievements that yes help us both; but often these visitors seem too focused on points and not the underlying value that is our profiles. In short, rate, fan,add has become a dinosaur concept to many.
The game itself: The more you pay to play and more correct families you land in influences your overall standings whereby the right families, and your ability to play and pay can make you a star on Fubar; but I have to ask; at what price does one have to pay to achieve this and is this price worth it to you.?
I mean Fu, and this is no disrespect to Fubar, its staff or its clients but this is an online FANTASY, gaming, dating?, social website that is addictive in its own right but lets be real here for a moment.
Is it not better to be a Jaycee, a little league coach to the underprivleged, a volunteer firefighter, a soup kitchen helper or merely a friend to those who clearly don't have the stuff God gave you than it is to be badly in debt maxing out multiple credits cards just to be popular on Fubar?
In truth,and I don't know about the rest of you, but at the moment, I can't afford this online fantasy. At the moment, its more important to reduce debt and increase wealth and I do suspect as time passes, there will be others here forced to sit down with themselves and their credit cards and have the same heart to heart talk.
To those of you that are wealthy enough whereby this place and all its vices means nothing to you in terms of hardship, enjoy and maximize your potential as it applies here; Have fun and play the game to its maximus as they say; but to the rest of you..me, you..us...get your shit together and take a long hard look at what it costs to be a somebody in a virtual world called Fubar whereby your street cred does not exist outside of here; and while I'm one of the last people in the world to be yipping and yapping about street cred, I think I do make a basic point out of all this...Yes?
