What about all these questions?

Is Help a waste of time? Are you being “helped?” Or, “helping?” Or even having fun?

I guess I’m just asking myself … and I really don’t expect anyone else to answer seriously.

What about all these questions?

Folks, as you look down the list of posts here, what do you see? What do you think?

Is Help a waste of time? Is anyone actually being “helped?” Or, “helping?”

Do these questions all seem the same? What are we doing here?

Come on, nobody who likes the Beatles could possibly like Glenn Beck. Have you permanently settled into the role of contrarian?

No, just lying to have fun. Glenn Beck is an idiot wannabe comedian preaching to a choir that doesn’t think enough for themselves, or evaluate claims.

People who discover this site often do so out of desperation.
I know I did.
Type “help” into Google and you will find this place.

Many people have ruined the idea of this safe haven by ignoring other people’s issues than their own.
I, admittedly, am guilty of doing the same.
Right now, I just need my points of recipricocity.
Oh well!

I would say at least 70%(Being generous) of the posts are trolls. Nowadays, at least.

I’m not very helpful, all I can offer is an ear to listen… Or an eye to read, I guess. But I receive help from Help.com by speaking to people and being able to be more me than I am normally. Being open makes me feel… I dunno, like real, kinda. I just feel like I don’t exist a lot of the time. Having people to listen and talk to here helps. :)

I really don’t take this site too seriously so if it is going down the drains or what, i won’t be surprised. Been years i have been here, people come and go so i really don’t mind. Anymore.

the site hasnt changed whatsoever from when it first started out as the help.com we see before us today.
its just the people that have become less tolerant, and less mods to stop the troll posts getting through. theres as many as there ever were.
people are still getting helped, just read the posts and replies and youll see that easily.

I help when I see something I can help with, I read, I chuckle. I peek and see what is going on with friends still here. Don’t participate as much as I use to. I don’t let trolls sink my ship. They break in once in awhile and oh well. I don’t try and organize chaos. Too much energy, and I don’t like rewarding negetive attention seekers. Just really too bad such a great site, went to hell in a handbasket. But I just try and roll with what is left and available, I’m not gonna angst about it. Better mind set for me.

Florie,
I meant you correcting written mistakes. Your very good at what you do. When people mess up, you correct spelling or grammar, “anybody” you changed to you”. I just thought it was funny. I meant no offense. It helps me learn.
