MsTrinityD of TrinityEntertainmentSvcs's blog: "FUBAR Stuff"

I am not sure if its the rain that has taken over southern california the past few days, or if its just the conglomeration of truly nasty ppl that gather here on this site.... But I am really not feeling any love here anymore.

In the beginning. This seemed like alot of fun. I invited some of my real friends to this site, my husband even joined, and we were having a great time even in spending real hard earned money in a time when we have only one income, to sppruce up each others pages with VIP and bling. I have been a VIP member for a year and a half now and the extra bennies seemed worth the real money that needed to be spent in order to post more pictures so that the masses could live vicariously through myself, my husband, my boyfriend and all of our families real friends that have better things to do than sit at the computer all day.

Unfortunately for me, Im just not popular here. I dont sit here all day and rate people. I dont beg people to rate me. I dont bling the sh*t out of people I dont know and have talked to only once, and I dont do the lounges, I have never been invited to be in one of the popularity bestowing clicks, I never get hot chic of the week and my rate here is truly low compared to some of the other girls here that are in tight with the elite of fubar. So... due to falling short here, I dont sell in fu-owned for a lot of money and I never seem to be able to get anyone to purchase me unless I offer to pay them to do it. So Adfter last night Im probly going to shit that feature off.

Last night I came home in the rain from work and opened up fubar to find a message in my shoutbox from my fu-owner. Paraphrashing, he asked me to hurry up and get myself sold to someone else because he needed the fubucks to help someone else. Well mind you... I dont know this person who bought me. I havent ever chatted with him before, but he did buy me without me begging, asking or even talking to him about it til after the fact. Once he bought me I told him that he would not make his money back unfortunately because I just dont have those "influential" or elite friends like everyone else seems to have here. He didnt seem too bummed that no one else would buy me from him, til yesterday. Well... after reading that message, I tried to think of a fast way to try and get someone to buy me. But since I was over a million, no one was going to help me with this I just knew it. So..... being a sarcastic little twit, (which the owner person did not know) I decided to post a status -- "My owner doesnt want me any longer. Could someone pls relieve him of ownership?" and that circulated for about 30 minutes with no one biting. So I ended up posting something else similar to that but probly even more sarcastic (I would have cut and pasted it from my old statuses but I was reprimanded for MY behavior and the statuses were deleted). Anyway, the owner of me at that time came onto my page and flipped. He starts going off on me. Calling me a B*tch and a liar and a few other not so nice names.... but why? I mean come on.... its fu-bucks. They arent real. And seriously? I couldnt have been the only person he owned that he could have asked them to get themselves sold. Well he goes on and on ranting at me. Continuing the name calling, etc. He goes on and on then about how he knows NOW why I have no friends (fu-friends mind you becaus eyou know.... fu friends are the only ones that count so if I cant find one person to save me from this lunatic, then Im a loser. And so on and so on. This guy never got in trouble for any of these insults or the harrassment because the policy here if someone is treating you poorly, being insulting etc, is just to block them. They dont lose their accounts, they dont get demoted a level they arent asked to behave, they arent asked to leave, nothing. The person being harassed is just suppose to quietly block them and never say another word about the incident, and the perpetrator.... scrolls free across fubar, unpunished. I got in trouble for lashing out at him via my status.

Its sad to me how ppl behave here. As I had said previously, this place started out as a barrel of fun that I was willing to sink real money into, to have a better experience. In return, I have managed to come across truly mean and nasty people who are allowed to continue here no matter how rude, nasty, and demeaning they are to other members. Have you ever heard about Retention. The most common use for retention is usually with gym memberships and colleges. Retention is the "process" of doing everything possible to keep a customer/member/student engaged, and enjoying their experience with an organization so that they stay. I wonder if anyone here has thought about retention. In my time here. I have invited and had join 197 people. The stats were updated the other day and 184 of those remains and I could tell you that probly 100 of those would rather just delete their accounts here as well but just havent thought to much about it since their first few weeks here. If there was a policy in place regarding nasty ppl who do rude things and such then maybe we could retain a few more of the ppl who have been the victims of this anonymity here that so many people take advantage of (check the MuMMs sometime if you'd like to see the height of harassment and rudeness because those individuals think they are the MOST intelligent, MOST intouchable members here). It just seems that on other chat programs and social networking sites;p if you act an a$$ you get a warning. Do it again and your banned forever. But maybe since these ppl spend alot of real money here, there is no real desire to get rid of them no matter how assinine the person is.

So... Im not feeling it here much anymore. I hid my profile and rearranged my pictures so that hopefully only the really excellent people I know, will be able to still communicate with me. Thanks to the very very few people I do know that I am certainly glad I met here as I might not have found you elsewhere.

love, *kttn*
