> Okay, I’ve been on CT for a couple months now, and I enjoy the site greatly. But one thing really bothers me – it’s the posts that say “If you’re a real friend you’ll repost this”
>
> Those just make me sick to my stomach anymore! When you join a site like this – you have to understand that everybody has their own reason to join.
>
> Some people join to make friends, Some join to look at the pics, and others have other reasons for joining.
>
> Sure you’re going to find some “Fakes”, as you do on any online “meeting place”. But for the most part – I’ve found that people are exactly who they claim to be.
>
> A lot of people don’t have the bulletins on their homepage – there is an option to turn them off! So they never even see those ridiculous posts, which mean that they can’t repost something they’ve never seen.
>
> It’s BullS**t people, let it go! Talk to the people that you consider you’re good friends and to hell with the rest! But get over the REPOST THIS IF YOU’RE A GOOD FRIEND!
>
> As for me – I read lots of bulletins – when I’m bored. But I never repost anything (this is actually my first bulletin ever!) – not because I’m not a true friend – but because why have the same thing reposted 200 times!
>
> I joined CT as a way to meet new people, and I have! I have made some wonderful friends from all over! And have met quite a few in person! I have also met my share of fakes and idiots! But it doesn’t stop me from having fun on CT, and enjoying the time I spend there!
>
> So, my point is – use CT for what you joined for – and don’t worry about why other people joined!

nothing disgusts me more than the intimidation of friends in this way!!! i have deleted 4 ppl this week because im tired of the implied threat in that! as far as reposting goes, we see our friends posts but most do not have the reach that i do with 1250+ friends so i repost as i will with this post! bulletins only go out to your friends so if you have 50 friends, they are the only ones who see them. they arent site wide so i do see the reason for reposting. on the other hand, people who post or repost the same thing 20 or 30 times at the same time, i have begun to delete because it drops so many posts off of my page & i have too many important friends to miss their posts! well im off to repost this because this issue is so important to me & i will never threaten my friends to get them to read it but they lose out if they dont!
