We aren’t starting an army.
I think a hell of a lot would be accomplished for a start. We wouldn’t have just words to comfort us. I for one, would at least like to hug my friends and be there for them physically rather than just on a screen for once.
Plus, the English and grammar would be a lot better, and we can just beat the crap out of the trolls. :D
I don’t think it would be the same - I mean theres a lot to be said for the anonymous creatures we can become on here.
Having said that, I would love nothing more than to meet a load of people on here.

I agree with that. For some reason I make more friends online than I do in the real world. I seem to come across as more intelligent behind a screen. Whereas face to face, I’m a nervous, paranoid wreck who constantly says stupid things that makes people hate me for some reasons unbeknowst to me. My vocabulary is also a lot more wider in the virtual world.

Me too!
Oh dear!
Whatever happened to safety in numbers. I realise that not everyone is ready to take the good fight to the real world, but I certainly am, and if any of you were my friends in the flesh I would certainly have all of your backs!
Oh well never mind.
And there will be an army. An army of goodness, that carries pens and not swords!

Oh I definately am, I think that it wouldn’t work that way if we didn’t have our online identities in the first place though.

I think its just easier online, it sounds sad and lonely but you can just say hi to someone online - it requires a lot more confidence in real life.
Also online you are more likely to speak again or make a friendship than in the reallife. In real life its more like ’small talk’
*rolls eyes* >>>> ‘reply is in moderation’?
What a shame! I guess I will see you all when the world fully becomes like the matrix!
Ok. Here’s what we’d have to do. We’d have to have an army of teachers, doctors, and farmers. To feed people, teach people, and help people. We’d have to have personnel to transport us and goods to areas that need us. We’d have to have a team of scientists to make advances, and we’d all have to work for room and board. Sound good? It does, but is it feasible?
Its not an army, it is a militia. :D
I dont think it would work.
I dont want people to know I am a kind caring person with problems. I like the anomoninity of being Bogdan, even if I gave more statistics. I like it as is.
Caring and helping the community would be fine by me, just not as help is now.
And we’d probably have to have a security force as well.

However let me just add, that its good to have a realist holding onto my feet so i don’t take off to high with enthusiasm!
Still I’m not sure about the security force though!
Any money I earn will be donated to charity after I die. I’ll pay my bills and kids education, but I’m not leaving an inheritance. Any business I make will be not for profit. I’m going to live the idea of working for others, but you won’t encounter many with that fervent, go all the way, enthusiasm.
There’s this old thing I tried to start once called HelpCon; a convention of all the Help.com.
It fell apart because we’re too far spread out. Oh well.

No, not really Karma. I despise small talk. I just have always seemed to be the outcast and the target for everyone to pick on. Even the other outcasts would join in. Every suggestion or word that comes out of my mouth is seen as complete stupidity, and any excuse to shun me because it’s umimportant to them. Example, at school, if I would get an answer right once in a while (when I was paying attention enough and not having my nose stuck in a book. Lol) it was still seen as something stupid, idiotic and completely incorrect.
Meh, guess it’s hard to explain.
Well I am beyond caring about other people not understanding me or my intentions!
I just ‘feel the fear and do it anyway’. And my experience in recent years is that the universe just sends me where I need to go to find the right people to talk to!
And, its not hard to explain…. we’ve all been there at one point!

Well, except for the “popular” cliques who never seem to do anything wrong or embarrasing.
Whoops, that sounded a little bitter. My apologies.
cliques.. how silly and childish they seem now that im out of HS > just be yourself.. if you are kind and caring thats all you can do.

same same :D i live to help others :D
Ok…. so not everyone is cut out to be a public face!
So what! There is enough talent, wisdom, experience, and fantastic ideas on this site, that (and remember this concept is hypothetical) that every one of us could contribute. Even if that meant 100 of you were speech writers, and wrote your speeches via email!
Oh, I am out of high school. And glad to be too. Sometimes, a past can always leave scars though. Which is probably why I’m a bit defensive and reclusive 90% of the time. Wasn’t just in high school though. It was just the only example/scenario I had at the time.
well i think it is possible to start one but we dont need fire power not security nor anything ^_^ we are the peace of this world ^_^ we are the wise ppl , we know guns wont solve anything, if we join hands am sure we can make something happen, as for me right now i cant cause one of my major problem is i live in lebanon and low on money to even think of traveling anywhere , os basically after i get my degree you will sure see more of me , cause i will try to fly to canda hopefully i will abit close to some of you ppl :D than am all urs am ready to really kick @zz this world needs a shift in direction :D

I guess, at school I was popular. Little miss perfect and blah blah blah. I never hung around with the ‘plastics’ I had my best friend who everyone thought was a ‘loser’. So my reactions were mixed.
I didn’t really like it, whenever I did something or wore something different people would notice. It wasn’t too comfortable to be honest!
Wheras now, I’m still that girl (woman) and yet I feel people don’t appreciate me at all. No one is interested in what I have to say. No one finds me funny anymore after knowing me more than a month.
I’m not complaining, it hurts though. But I just get on with it.

Aww, I know that feeling all too well. The popular kids I knew at school just seemed to be everyone BUT me. I’d start at a new school, I’d make a friend, and then about three weeks later (give or take a week or two) after everyone decided there was something wrong with me (I still don’t know what it was) They’d decide they didn’t want to give a crap either.
I did have one friend in my last high school, but at one point, she started having to “fake” that we hate each other and that she was “fake” bullying me to save her own reputation and become popular because I apparently was dragging her down. We dropped out around the same time to hang around with the “drug” crowd and she used me.
So yeah, I don’t trust people all that much these days.
http://help.com/post/213657-do-you-se… –That post/poem sort of explains one group of people at my last high school who I had most trouble with. They were sort of like the “plastics” but there was a few ok girls, they just went along with the rest of the crowd.

Some of us from before even Xenos’ time also tried to get everyone together to meet.
Never came to pass
You want a real world version of help.com, it’s all around you.
I used to do work at a Ronald McDonald house, spent some time working on a homeless kitchen (on it, not in it), and for years was something called a peer counsler in my home town.
there are a million and one things that you can do to help within five miles of your front door

Yeah I was like plastic material I guess you could say, but I was friends with everyone that would accept me. It stayed that way. Although it was all fake. It was purley because they needed someone. No one cared about my feelings. I’ll go check out your poem :)

About a year ago? Maybe more?
We tried asking people what they thought… and that killed it. People here are poor, and can’t afford to meet up unless it’s a local thing.

Can you get me a flight outta this freezing cold hellhole I will join a real life version of help, maybe we could all wear masks to protect our anonymity. Would the Mods have to learn Karate for when we all try to beat the trolls off?

hehehehehe :D lol yeah you can say that :P
I wouldn’t be wearing a mask!
As my avatar suggests! :D
Would the real life version of help require you to stand on a street corner shouting help untill kind people who you don’t know come and listen to your problems? Or would it be a free councilling servise made up of people with nothing but life experience, possibly the best experience there is?
www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwO6pmbYDo8
The latter mostly Cakes :D
Not sure why you cannot click on this and see the video…tried twice…cut and paste it…worth watching DP..
Sorry Cotton, I’ll have to check that later, my bandwidth has been slowed.
But you could wear masks if you wish to remain annoymous like the annonymous option, I worry that if I ever met anyone from help that they would view me very differently than they do when I’m behind my Cakes mask
There was a movie on this very subject DP..
Pay It Forward (2000)The movie does not leave you confused as to what is going on or why. … Discuss this title with other users on IMDb message board for Pay It Forward (2000) …
www.imdb.com/title/tt0223897/ - 61k - Cached - Similar pages
Well, like I’ve said already, those that don’t feel comfortable having a public face, can be speech writers, or work behind the scenes :)
yeah i have seen the movie cotton i was really nice :D
maybe we need to start an organization that will take humans into a new lvl of intel :D and humanity
Yeah. There’s always data management. They don’t have servers in real offices. They have secretaries.

And we are in different countries are we not?

I think that is a good idea, not a crazy one. :)
The only reason I like to remain annonymous is because I don’t want anyone from real life discovering that I have problems should they come across Help.com and see my picture, in a real situation I think it would be a great idea to have free councelling service from people like us who have lots of life experience I think it would be so much better than paying a fortune for a shrink

Why do we have to be centralized? Why do we have to meet face to face? Companies conduct business via virtual networks everyday. There’s nothing to keep us from conducting our meetings here, then going out into our various corners of the world to do what we decide.

Practical :D
Besides which I haven’t meant many locals on here! So for me that would work practically. However, I don’t know if the mods or the parent corporation would appreciate us using this site as a meeting place for another organisation.
However, when my bandwidth resets in day or two, or will investigate starting a seperate website :)
we can contact each other via email :D and chat and stuff via msn we call talk all of us at once :D
Plus, I’d love to meet the people on here who have helped me out so much. It may not seem like a big deal, but a lot of things I’ve been able to get through are mainly because of people on here who’ve helped me to get through them.
Exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This concept needs to go beyond the internet…
That would not be a non-internet version, it would be a charity/suicide help line/computer help center/etc./etc…

Thank you trick for recapitating me.
*Thank you tricky for recapitating me.
btw you cant capitlize all the letters i think, the website wont allow you
Perhaps Echelon gets excited if you do! hA!
i still think that the first transition from help.com to the world should first go to a bigger audience like facebook or something and than translate from there become like a virus of healing power and try to reach ppl at least online and than go to the final stage of real time help.com ^_^
Ok…
Well I am quite happy to start a facebook group!
Oh wait… I did once… i didn’t go anywhere! But then it didn’t have help.commers as members!
And I don’t think my friends understood it!
Ok…. well I don’t think any of you are going to come and brutalise me in the night… so I’m going to reveal my email to the interested!
My email rayh89@ hotmail.com without the space. You can reach me via MSN messenger or email me.
well we would open a private group and only let help.com memebers in at first … from there we can take it one step at a time

Ok I missed a lot, is someone setting up a help.com facebook page? That would be so surreal seeing what everyone here is really like and stuff, anyone organising a Help.com garden party? I would fly somewhere hot for that!

come to lebanon ppl the weather is gr8 :D
but everything else is fuicked up :D lol
I think people would be less honest. i mean alot wouldn’t be as open but also at the same time it would be a marvelous idea to alot. maybe if you were to be on the site and if lets say you needed much more professional help well there would be a help.inc. company there to help
i think in the long run it would help alot of people, everything has pros and cons but i think literally talking to someone face to face, atleast far as i Go, has a greater impact than them reading my words. plus there are alot of great people on here who i would love to chill with ;)

believe it or not last summer there was talking about something like that ehehhee :D lol
Wow I would save up for that, it would be so surreal and nice and weird and scary and exciting all at the same time, then also it may change how people view you and answer your posts and stuff and imagine you feel in love and then couldn’t post your problems here because they are also here and your life line is gone (for me Help.com is a bit of a lifeline)
Dougie, A super idea. It sounds radical to some I see, Guess it’s the word Army that’s scaring them.I say if its for the good of all ,then its good.I have tried to impliment in my own life. I’ve recommended the site to people and use what I’ve learned to help in my own family life.For instance theres this guy at the station i always go to.He always looked sad and never even said Hi. One day I said to him ‘You dont look like a happy camper’ and told him about Help.com. I don’t know if he came here but now he smiles and talks not only to me but to others. What Im saying its just like world peace, if we all do our small part we will make a difference.Keep us posted Dougie ,Im with you buddy,Kim :D

I most certainly will be! As soon as my bandwidth speeds up again and I can get facebook to load hehehe!
Seriously though, if anyone wants to add me as facebook friend…
I pop up first in a search for Dougie Simpson :)
cool.people would probably look at us as if we were mad though
We are mad, aren’t we? :D
Btw… I’m very chuffed, because on the home page, this post is in the top left corner as currently popular post! I feel really special :D
Hi Dougie.
Sorry I’m late to the post! I’ve packed my bags, got the sunlotion… i’ll be there in the morning. You did book me a 5* ensuite didn’t you?
I just can’t resist I have to check you out on Facebook, you wouldn’t even know who I was tho,
Nope could not find you Dougie, unless you are Doug Dfresh Simpson, but he looked nothing like your picture on here
Fabulous idea Douggin! There are so many ways we can all be a positive influence in someone else’s life. Share a smile with a stranger who looks down, random hugs and acts of kindness, paying it forward. I try to make those things a part of every day to show my gratitude for the good things in my life. I think most everyone who helps on this website has made a huge impact on someone else’s life just because they all seem so caring. Although it may not be shown to you at that moment, possibly never, the things we do in real life do make a difference as everything is connected as I see it.
LOVE this topic!!
And I’m in agreement with Ms.Enigma~
We all can do what we do here on help.com in real life. I would like to think some, if not most of us do… but I don’t know.
In any case, even the smallest things can make a huge difference and impact in someone’s life.
Dougie sign me up for this army! he he it certainly sounds a lot nicer than the army I currently serve in.. :(
*HUGE hug for all who posted here*
hehe can you really imagine people on here meeting?
I haven’t taken the time to read all of the comments above but here’s my take on it.
One of the main reasons I’m here is because I’m like this in real life. I try to be a helper to anyone I meet whether on-line or real life.

I think it would be interesting to meet some of the people on here sometime. Someone should arrange a huge HELP.COM meeting somewhere.
how bout meet people just in your town? your chapter?
I don’t think there is anyone else in my town on here! lol
My local town has a population of about 30! (A “blink-and-you-missed-it” town.)
Canadian helpers chapter?

There ya go!
There is a real life version instilled in everyone of us. I use mine on a daily basis. Somebody may not inquire help with relationship issues or life expectancies, but I still contribute by helping on the internet and real interaction.
isnt that just a support group?????? lol
That would be one heck of a party! Because there’s a lot of us! Who’s bringing the munchies and the beer?
It would be cool,
I actually thought about this before…

i’ll bring the heat to the party ;)
I’ll come! And I’ll bring cookies! ;o)
i been doin the HELP! quest mr.fixit for years dude.
I actually talked to a guy who said he was about 3 miles away from me.
I’m to lazy to read ALL the comments above so,
(: I think the world would be a better place.
It’s changing, yes.
All the time because of the help we provide.
But, I think it would progress quicker than it’s doing as we speak.
:D
That’s just my opinion.
go to a local church, they are always doin this sort of thing.

Unless someone is randomly reading this, no one will ever know where I’m from because no matter where in Dallas I drop myself on the map, help.com still shows me as “Unknown Location.” Grrr!!! :o/
Lets start a Revolutionary Army! We’ll call it the “Army Of Help”!
i live in texas =] in college station

Well of course you’ll sound young because you are young. I still think the Scotch accent is incredible. Gotta get some sleep now. Goodnight.
Sorry….I came here late. I’ve been busy lately in my personal life. :(
ANYWAY…I have NOT read all the replies, but I have skimmed some of them.
I completely and totally thing it could work. However, it would take an exhorbitant amount of work and committment. But, if it was pulled off, it would be SOOOO worth it. :) I would totally be one of the ‘public faces.’ I could also do a bit of organization.
The reason that this sounds great is that it would be a GROUP of people who cared and who wanted to do their part to make this world a better place….strength in numbers. Building friendships. Making committments together. Feeling like you’re part of the “good” team.
Now, I do realize that we can all help others within 5 miles of our own homes. And I do that, as well. The difference is that this would be an organization that gave positive affirmations, fed on each others’ successes, bolstered each other up, and caught each other when things didn’t go quite as planned. As a result, the ‘work’ that would need to be done to help others would be much more organized, efficient, and effective.
It is much easier to go out and feed a homeless person (for example)….with a group of people. Then, you can reach more than one. I have done it individually….imagine that on a grand scale….sort of like a ‘pay it forward’ mentality.
In addition to all of the things mentioned above…a group like this could apply for grants and funds from corporations; as well as bring in money amongst themselves. If we are all truly helpful people at heart, this money would go where it is intended to go…rather than 60% ++++ to “administration….”
Sounds good and do-able, though difficult, to me :)

if i lived in USA i would be full of passion right now and would try my best to make that happen but i live so far away :(
but heopfully one day i will be soon to you guyz ^_^
Alright…. Dougie has bandwidth restored!!!! Yay!
Now its time to create that facebook group!
And I’ve thought about it! My email is now open to everyone on my friends list and anyone I have friended who hasn’t accepted yet!
So you can find me on facebook and add me if you like.
I won’t know its you, if you are worried about anonymity. I will just only know with a reasonable certainty that you are someone from help.
But NOT who you are. Unless your profile pic matches, in which you are probably not that worried about anonymity anyway.
I will start the group soon. But I have to think a little more about what the group is for…. I guess as a starting point it will just be another place to chat, and discuss things!

first of all you cant take my idea man and not give me credit :D lol
second of all i put the idea for discussion , you didnt even do that , you talked about another thing and than you decided to take my idea :D lol
it’s copyrighted you know :P
I didn’t do any such thing lol
I just started a facebook group!
That’s all i did!
And I’m not taking credit! hehehehe…
I’m borrowing your idea, and putting it to good use.
I never said it was MY facebook group!
Or MY idea…. I’m just sick of all this sitting around on our hands, and I wanted to get the ball rolling :D
And also… when I say… I will take a bit more time thinking about what the group is for… well… its hardly anyone’s idea…
Are you claiming credit now for the idea of facebook groups ;)
Cos someone (probably one of the designers of facebook) clearly did that a while ago hehehe!
http://help.com/post/221244-i-just-sa…
O.o
i just think when a group will represent help.com it should be a good one and many ppl should be involved and it should be really good as like this site and i think the memembers of this group should only be help.com user and even not new users like at least 6 month or something, at least this is my point of the facebook group… do whatever you want tho…
I was kidding in that last reply btw!
And geez… that woudln’t include me… cos i havent been on this site for 6months yet!
Anyways, all I did was start one facebook group!
I called it heal the world. And its for people who want to do something to help in the real world, a stepping stone (like you suggested).
The original idea was that we could organise ourselves and transfer the way we help people here but in the real world as well.
I don’t see any reason why you can’t do whatever you want to do… I wouldn’t be offended. And I apologise if you think or feel I was trying to steal your idea in any way!
I started a facebook group once before. It was before I found help.com…
But its intentions were more or less the same! But it didn’t go anywhere :(
Also…. my concept wasn’t for a group to represent help.com…..
It draw its talent pool from the site… that was all!
I think a lot of people who’ve read this post have the misconception that it would be just like this site, but in the real world….
IDK… I don’t even know why I bothered posting in the first place :(

am chilled ^_^
ok if it doesnt include like help.com or something in the name , than i really have no objective what so ever … good luck with your group man ^_^
No it doesn’t. And it was never going to!
And neither would the real life version either!
It was just a crazy idea like the post suggests!
The only relation to this site it would have… would simply be its original members would come from here, because so many people on here are so compassionate and caring!
And I thought it would be nice to get some of us out in the real world doing what we do on here :S
I’d be careful for legal reasons, if you still want to start your group in not using the name help.com…. because a corporation owns this site, and I wouldn’t want any of us to get sued!
