I'd like to thank midkitten for letting me use her rant, It speaks truth. :]

[LAST UPDATED: October 28, 2007]
Especially with all of these new members. The majority of them are children that lie about their age so they can access the forums. [And before you lecture me, I am /not/ saying all newbies are annoying]
I am tired of seeing 'OMG BF HELP' or 'OMG LUKING 4 A BF' boards. Mara is a virtual petsite. Not a teenage help site. Not a dating site. If you want a partner, go to match.com.

Report happies are also annoying. One cannot post something containing 'damn' or 'hell', even though the rules clearly state those words are acceptable, as they are considered milder swear words.
Another example is a topic I made the other evening. The title was something like, 'Blonde moment' and I informed everyone that I used a glue stick instead of chap stick. It got reported. What was so bad about that? 'Blonde moment'? I /am/ blonde, for Pete Townshend's sake! Yet I've seen dating advice boards continue for hours and even days!

Rating boards and fashion shows are annoying as well. Now that they've been moved to spam, they are clogging up the spam forum. I used to enjoy spamming, but it seems somebody is determined to kill the spam chat. First the bad spam, then the one topic per five minutes, and now this. But I digress.
Another thing about rating boards is people don't know how to handle honesty. I go on those boards with the intention of showing people that not everybody loves their outfit. Though it is amusing to see people throw tantrums, get over it. It's just a virtual doll.

Attention seeking bothers me as well. Your mom died? Then why are you playing on a virtual petsite? Why are you trying to get pity from strangers? Don't you have a family to be with? Friends? Most of the time these people are lying for attention, and occasionally free pixels. Revolting.

Another thing that bothers me is the amount of complaining boards. Sure, there have always been people moaning about something. It's human nature. But it seems as though the number of whiners has increased greatly.
[Yes, I realize I am complaining as well, but I'm doing it in the proper place - my blog]

The skinny pets are a great example.
People say it's abuse. They're pixels. Want me to call the People for Ethical Treatment of Pixels for you? Oh wait, there's no such thing because pixels don't have feelings.

I decided to keep a log of the scratchcards I win on from now to sometime soon
I'll be buying a lot.
And putting the time of each.
