When I first joined Mibba, everyone was really nice and everything and it was totally awesome!

It still is awesome, of course, but I really feel like I'm settling in and moving steadily up in status and such.

My stories are pretty in-demand, I've recently become a Cliche' Catastrophe and I've started writing Articles!

I dunno, I just feel like I'm really starting to fit in here at Mibba, really settling in and becoming a true Mibbian! I have oodles of friends, subscribers and people who come to me for stuff!

It just really a warm and fuzzy feeling because I've never really fit in anywhere, but in Mibba I'm... one of you~

You're my hero, Dujo!

Does anyone else share that special, wow-I'm-apart-of-something-awesome feeling?

I guess
I never really though about it like that, but I guess I'm one of the regulars now, posted a lot here,started a lot of topics, done some articles and my stories are doing alright

What I really like about here is knowing that my writing is appreciated. I've been writing stories since I could write so its good to finally get them out there and know that people enjoy them as much as I enjoy writing them

I feel kinda the opposite, to be honest. Shifty
I used to feel really, really close to Mibba.
Then...then everything just kinda got distanced, when I changed as a person and a few of my really good friends left.
It's still amazing and everything, but it feels a lot different.

I agree! I've been working really hard on my stories, and I've even written an article. I'm a Cliche Catastrophe, too, but I've been working like buggery to try and get to the next rank. Smile

I'm not famous on Mibba, but you could say I was a bit of a regular. tehe

I have to agree.
I was getting 10 star stories, great comments complimenting my writing or advice to improve it but that all changed and I became unpopular again.
Now I feel rejected by the Mibba community and that is depressing

I feel the opposite as well. I mean, yeah, I do fit in here and stuff, but I remember like...a year ago how things were. It was so totally different. I was really really close to a bunch of people. Some of them have left, or I don't talk to them anymore.

Also, my stories are less popular than they used to be.

I do fit in here, it's just not the same as what it used to be.

*nods*
The time that I really felt like, I totally fitted in here was, when I became a Fanfic Fanatic, was still the youngest active member in the forums, and when I was still not an editor.

Like, I had nOoby stories but people come to me and asked for more. When I passed a news, article and review all at once and especially when I met my friends in mibba now.

And then, I became an editor. I neglected the boards and after like, 3 or 4 months, I think, I came back. Then, the mibba I used to know was gone.

From that day until now, --.-- I can't.. fit... in.
It's totally different. I'm still culture shocked, jeebs, I don't know.

I think you're right. I think I've become to fit in more and more. I think I've made a lot of great friends from the Wayt thread.

I thought I was a nobody on here until not that long ago.

I remember when Mibba was all MCR obsessed. Remember? So anyone that possibly liked My Chem fit in in some kind of way.
I did, but now I think my status is more big, being known to more people, being their first on top friends and such.

I miss the old times, but I'm enjoying the new.

I remember back when there was no Mibba, just GSB.
It was different back then, and it's different now.
I owe this place a lot.
To move up, I think you just have to post. Be yourself, and not n00by.

Talk to people.
I dunno. It's different, but I love it.

lmfao Really?

I remember when I first joined Mibba. No one read anything I wrote, or even talked to me, then I started writing 'Angels of Unknown' and the first chapter had like, 30 or 40 comments, and I was like, Cheese and I pretty much have been ever since then when I get comments.

Talk to people.


I know. I never used to add people as friends, just talk to like, 50 people at a time and never hear of 'em again.
It was awesome like that.
And then more and more people became popular, and everyone wanted to be friends with em.
I'd always talk to 'em, but I wouldn't add until one day, my good friend Steph, finally added me.
That's why I have so little friends to this day, because I never used to add.
Same with forums, not until September did I come on here, the reason for my little post count.
But now that I think about it, some of the most amazing people on here, (popular or not) are considered my friends. = D

I remember being a n00b, hanging in the WAYT.
I was scared of all the people who were "Mibba famous," but now a lot of them are some of my best friends on the forum. Fish Camp, Sardonic Grin, The Way, Bastard Son - I was so scared of them.

When I was a newb I was very like disenchanted with Mibba. I thought it was like INO jjr when it came to stories. None of my stories got comments, and it was like, all the bad stories got the recognition. The forums were ruled by the GSBers and I felt kind of alone, so I ended up never posting. It wasn't until I was banned from INO and had no choice but to come here. I started to feel better about Mibba when I started getting comments and people really started to read my stories. I still wasn't too into the forums, like rarely. I don't think I really got into Mibba until I started Have Kids, Then We'll Talk. Thats when I really started getting involved and started talking to members. All the people I was scared of, became like my closest friends- Fish camp, The Way, Chemical Heart, Bastard Son- I also started talking to people like Tas and Dujo again. I think I really felt apart of Mibba when I became an Editor though, and I had a reason to stay and I felt like I was doing something to help out mibba. People have told me I am like Mibba famous but I don't really see it XD

I think I became part of the um...Mibba in crowd (if you will) last year when I wrote Sick and Sain and I was suddenly a popular author...

But I didn't really do anything with it until the fall, around when I became an SE and started making really close friends.

People say I'm Mibba famous...and according to SOMEONE who posted above me, I'm scary.

So I'm pretty good with that...I don't try to move up, but I think as we all hang out around here more - we just...do.
