I can imagine. I luckily only caught the end of the scam at my other hangout, so I didn't get sucked in. Really, it's messed up. I'd like to punch such folks in the face.

I fell for it, too...
...but I didn't realize it was started by an unrequited crush. Actually, there's probably a LOT I don't know about it...

Y'know, this is one aspect of human nature that mystifies me--all these people doing this pseudocide shite and writing "I am leaving WAAAAAAAAAAAH no one likes me here!!!!1!" threads. Why are there so many attention hos? I'm the opposite. Don't bother me and you'll have me as a friend for life. ;D
EDIT: AGB--the less you know about it, the better. I'm sorry I know so much about it. Eww eww EWWWWWWWWWWW.

See, there are GOOD things you can do with sock puppets, rather than these sorts of hoaxs. You could have fanart or fanfic guessing games, where everybody post something with a sock and other members try to guess who wrote/drew it. Stuff like that. It can be FUN. But nooooo, people use them to get attention, be dishonest. mumblegrumblegrah....

...sock puppets? You lost me there. Sock puppets are accounts made by people who are already members of forums. They could be used for pseucide proof, fake "rl" friends, the stuff I mentioned, etc, etc... Also, I'M an attention ho. But I know it, and I feed it in CONSTRUCTIVE ways. Like making fanart. I don't construct dubious fake-death schemes.

Ah, I see.
I'll confess, I DID create another account here. It wasn't for attention purposes, though - it was during a point I was having some trouble accessing the forum. The problem went away a few minutes later, though, so I don't use it.

Ah. See? You're well known for those ultra-sweet plushies.
Doing it the other way only gets you run out of the fandom (i. e. Flirtykuki).

Theforce.net has plenty of fic-writers with sockpuppets; they do stuff like post only w/ their puppet for story updates, and with their main account for commenting and chatting....so they actually can be very useful. Ah. See? You're well known for those ultra-sweet plushies. Doing it the other way only gets you run out of the fandom (i. e. Flirtykuki). I admit, that's part of the reason I made them adoptable. I made the secret sector ones, and got a good reaction from them, so I asked for Regan's approval and set to work. It's terrible, but at least I'm upfront about my enormous ego, right? XD

Noooooooooooooo. It's only when enormous egos get completely stoopid that problems happen. In other words: don't look for negative attention. (But there's people on here--I think we all know who they are--who seem to think that negative attention is better than none at all...I honestly don't get that. )

That's another one of my sad attention tricks, I'm a afraid:self deprecation. I try and I try, but I just can't seem to break the habit.

I think I left a guild before and made some note about how they'd all ignore me (Which was true! I'd say something, and they'd start a completely different topic. I don't think they liked me...) But after I wrote the note, I just left. I'm not an attention Ho, am I?
@random- I haven't drawn anthing KND related in forever. D; I guess I'm waiting for January.
