i think maria has left the building. what do you think happened?
we have been very kind and very thoughtful. nobody in this forum business is as kind as we are. nobody.
i think there are only 2 possibilities:
1. somebody poisoned her against us
2. we are just too quiet for her here
i know the facebook addicitons are almost impossible to break. i find that about 90% of the people are completely bogus at facebook.
there is also a lot of crime at facebook. they are able to steal your identity as well as find away to hack into your various accounts.
so vast majority of the people on facebook are bogus and not genuine.
they are also very lazy. their idea is throw something out there and hope people hit the like button.
see here we take the time to put our thoughts down. and also over time we get to know each other a little bit.
we know we can always come here and have trust in each other. we also know that we can trust each other to do the right thing because that is what we believe in.
its a very small family here but at least it is a cool and an honest family with integrity and values.
Rafalution told me that there was a lot of fighting among various nadal groups. some of them did not get along for example.
now she left because we were not advanced enough for her. at least that is what she told me. she said we lacked the proper technology for her taste and for the taste of her friends.
there was no fight. i just left it at that. all i said was that we are doing the best we can for now.
anyway so it is possible that some nadal groups don't care for us here at Camelot. perhaps they see us competition. that leads me to this possible theory that some nadal group on facebook poisoned her against us.
I don't think so. I think the whole purpose of forums is to vent your feelings. You can take out your frustrations by acting in a way that you can't in real life. People can get attention, be the star of the forum, etc.
I think that's empowering to some people, and it's also a trap, because people get used to being snarky with each other instead of caring about the sport. We don't do that here. We are true tennis enthusiasts.
I'll have to finish this later because I have to go and pick my knucklehead up from school. Yeah, he did it. But that's another story...
OK, I'm back. Anyway, our market is for those who truly love the game and have been watching it for years. Those who actually want to discuss tennis, not get into unnecessary flame wars, or prove we're smarter than the next guy. We just have to find our market, they're out there looking for us.
Facebook and Twitter seems to draw people with short attention spans and most forums draw idiots. The trick is to find those tennis fans who simply want to discuss the sport that they love with mature and rational people. Sounds easy, but it's a lot harder than it appears.
