I remember when I first registered, everyone here was so sweet and concerned with everyone's questions. I felt so welcome here in LindaLand, we even referenced her writings! It felt like a family. Now that I've come back from a yearly hiatus, I feel like LL has lost its charm, and people are answering posts with sarcasm and are seeming down right condescending, I even have seen back and forth arguments! What the heck is up with that?Bottom line, I am just not feeling LL was the place it once was. Please prove me wrong! Be nice, or instant karma's gonna get you. -Michaela, (who will soon be changing her user name in hopes her posts will be taken more seriously) , and yes I am a Cancer moon.

I'm sorry Babeefoxx. I haven't been here that long but I understand what you mean. There may be more youth in here than before and what you mentioned can be due to immaturity. I know I'm guilty of this behavior as well. I've said before I lack tact, I'm working on it tho. IP: Logged |

Hi babsSad to say, deception, manipulation, too many aka-s pretty much undermine the credibility of a forum..for me anyway... I tire of such things and over time am less likely to contribute from my core or even bother to spend time putting together any sociable responses. Yeah when ppl take advantage of 'the love' offered by the loveables then it can only detract from the valuable and incredible efforts of some of those putting together great stuff based on goodwill and a spirit of community eg. asteroids, synthesis/counselling/support, etc, etc, etc...

I have to agree in some way. Not so much in lack of love and support because it's always wonderful, but maybe in content. One of the forums has changed beyond all recognition since I joined. And I never had a clue about trolling and multiple identities and I still for the life of me can't fathom how the mods can spot this. I suppose everything transforms over time. It's like a workplace where the dynamics change and distinct cliques form. Just stay out of the way of the ones that bother you. It will always be a great place to be.

Oh don't worry... We certainly can spot it . As for the general concensus about the content degradation on the forum; Well tis all down to quality over quantity IMO. Some of the thread topics are was too mediocre to be given serious thoughts and replies to. Some of the given questions are way too general in nature and it all comes down to personal preception on them really. So in light of relitive freedom of expression, we have kept the forum an fairly open place of discussion. But with that freedom comes the possibility of overt idiocy and lack of personal responsibility by some given beings (whose names will not be mentioned.)

Im fairly new but if I've been rude, immature,shallow, or insensitive. I am sorry, I have only a one year experience in Astrology and I try to thank people for their responses in my threads or atleast take a gander at their threads. Though I do feel bad for calling someone's Scorp boyfriend a jerk though but when a person hurts someone that they supposedly love, they seem jerkish to me because loving someone doesn't involve hurting them, when you love someone you protect them from the hurt. None the less Im very sorry.IP: Logged |

LOL bunnies I agree with the multiple identity thing. I have watched it ruin astro over the last 2/3 years and a lot of good people leave because of it. I really hope this doesn't happen to LL. I am a bit sarcastic and difficult myself but l like to feel that i have contributed and l certainly have learnt everything l know about astrology from this wonderful site. Long live Lindaland and ALL it's wonderful moderators and members IP: Logged |

I think the Moderators are doing a great job in controlling trolls.The quality is very much there for genuine seekers. Newbies would gain a lot if they observe the posts of those with over 1000 posts. Let me also comment on the quality of "lurkers". Very high with very good knowledge of astrology, many are not registering due to lack of time. I have been contacted by more than a dozen. We wont have so many knowledgeable lurkers if the content was not upto the mark.

I wish that were the benchmark of quality IQ. Unfortunately, I'm just here for the beer and the hookers. IP: Logged |

johnny can come over here anytime for freebies.hookers charge money...i think there is another word for freebies. hhhmmmm.... babeefox, i am very sorry you feel that way, i think there is ebb and flow with any board and you will find kind caring people and some that even know about astrology if you stick around and find your niche. hang in there, and if you don't like what someone replies, you also have the right to debate the subject or click on another topic!welcome, at any rate, stick around and you will see it isn't such a bad place.

There's lots of love here. I see it all the time on here. Sure, there's some conflicts from time to time, but I think that's natural. Granted, I haven't been here for as long as some, but I think there are many caring people on here with genuinely good hearts, and it does come across. IP: Logged |
