Ramblings...

So because of all the recent "Drama" on CAG(Chuplayer and Jack-something-or-other), and that CAG managed to sign me out after I wrote up a big blog about my recent goings on in my life, I decided to make this blog.

Anyway, with all of this "Drama"(Yes drama is in quotations because of, IMO Chuplayer making Drama out of nothing), I've just gotten to thinking, how personal an online community can become, like I expect this sorta stuff on facebook, but I come from a group of friends, community and family where we liked to keep our drama and/or disagreements private, and within the affected parties so it seems strange to bring this sort of stuff out in something like CAG. I'm not judging, saying wether it's right or wrong, it's just different to me.

And for the Chuplayer thing, I noticed he got silenced, so I'm assuming that in the comments of his recent blog about "Ghettoizing" his dolls, he took some swings at other CAGs, as of the last time I had seen it, it didn't seem too bad, a bit angry and wordy but okay nonetheless. However, I feel no sympathy for him, I repeatedly asked him, quite politely and nicely might I add, to put those pictures in spoilers.

As for the Jack-whats-his-nuts-scenario, I felt almost as if I were intruding reading all of those blogs about his problems(less) and the GF rip-jack-whats-his-nuts blog post(quite a bit more). I'm not sure why, but it struck me as a very inappropriate thing to post and an uncomfortable thing to read. Just my thoughts.

Anywho, as must of you are thinking, why am I wasting my time with this? Mostly boredom, and a feeling of necessity(not sure from where, but it's there)

Thanks for reading folks.

And PS thanks for all of the advice about Mac recommendations from the last blog post, I'd also appreciate some more suggestions, thanks in advance.

yeah chu kinda went off the scale on some of the comments he left people (me included) on threads.

This kind of stuff normally doesn't happen (Gargus,chuplayer,jackhunter) and if it does it doesn't happen this frequent.

I say grab some popcorn and get f5 ready

I apologize for invading your gaming community with the cheap, tawdry details of a love gone bad. You have to admit, however, that it's funny as hell considering he left himself wide open for it.

I think Chu just reached his breaking point from all the trash comments he was getting on his blogs.When that happens you say and do a lot of stupid things that you don't really mean.From his other blogs he didn't attack other users like in the last one.That last blog was overboard but it looked like a spur of the moment thing.

I didn't find any of the posts you mentioned inappropriate. Blogs are personal thoughts and information that you can share anonymously on the internet. If ya can't post it here where can ya post it??

I never thought I would find posts related to sex and relationships on a videogame website but I think that's the best part. Everyone who comes here has something in common- a love of videogames. It's cool to get their perspectives and experiences on subjects like that.

It does suck that Chuplayer might be gone. He was one of the more unique posters here. I guess he just had enough after all this time... damn I'm bored

I think Chu just stopped blogging. I understand where people were coming from with spoiler for pictures since there would be several in a row. But I could also see where Chu was coming from too, especially with all the hatred people would post in his blog instead of just ignoring it. If people want to post about their personal lives, that is their prerogative. They just have to be willing to accept they're opening themselves up to criticism. I read lots of the blogs, I just don't comment on a lot of them since I really want to punch some of the people and ask them frankly what the hell they're thinking.

I wonder if Chu ever asked for help in moderating the comments on his blogs. I know some people said some pretty mean things. But he seemed like quite the attention needing type of individual so I think he enjoyed it, but I doubt he'd ever admit to that.

Now Jack on the other hand probably didn't think exchanging passwords would come back to bite him in the ass. Gotta lol about that.

With Chuplayer's situation, it's tough.

I commend him for doing it for so long because god knows how much shit he's received from anonymous users over the time he's been posting. This was something that he liked doing and something he was constantly bombarded with unnecessary hate for. People like making fun of him because it makes them feel good about themselves. We get it. He's not your average Joe. It seems like when someone would post a hateful response he would always shrug it off... instead of complaining to a mod.

I found the blogs amusing and the responses to the blogs even more amusing. Some of it was outright hilarious.

Was it weird? Yeah, it was out of the ordinary.

Did it need to be spoilered. No.

If you didn't like it, then you shouldn't have visited the blog section of CAG. Why the hell are you reading CAG blogs at your work anyways?

I wonder what people will complain about when Chuplayer is gone.

I'm working on my sister's macbook so I'm repopulating it with programs I need. When the blazes did we get a uTorrent client for Mac. Things are progressing.

I know it's hard to say "this is what i need" but really you gotta tell us what you used to do and we can extrapolate. Glad you liked the recommendations I hope some of them were mine.

As for Jack-Hunter and Sethra.. I say it's borderline. It hasn't gotten so personal I feel uncomfortable yet (not that I would.. they could talk about lop-sided boobs and dick curvature and I wouldn't care. It's not my dick on display). Any deeper and that might be crossing a line but it seems unlikely Sethra or Jack-Hunter will be going any deeper.
I love it... it's an excuse to watch drama unfold without feeling guilty that something like Jersey Shore is listed on my DVR... a man's gotta get his gossip somewhere.

Ive been lurking on CAG blog section about a year and a half before creating a account and posting any blogs my self it was always fun and plenty of interesting topics to read The Mana Knight, DailyHAHA and more recently krymner and a lot of others i cant name off top of my head.

Chu's stuff came up some times i would read it too but ultimately not comment if i didn't have anything to say, sure it was a lot of space taken on the page but you could always scroll right past the images and beyond that there was no reason to comment but i cant see how people got so offended by some doll pics enough for a Mod to take notice.

TBH in the time Ive been visiting this site Ive seen much much worse in the blog section mostly in the comment section and Chu's blogs was were i saw the most disgusting comments CAG has a fairly large adult community but the comments i see on his blog make me think otherwise.

And what he does its just a hobby..same thing gaming is to everyone else here, its no different from posting pics of your NES or Atari 2600+ the 5 or 6 games you have for it or collecting GI Joe action figures.

I hope Chu' doesn't let this keep him from posting more blogs even if he has to use Spoiler tags, and if he does and people still make those type of gross comments after the problem everyone has with the blog has been pretty much addressed. it says something about the maturity of the community here
