Why Isn’t Anyone Saying Anything About Me?!!?!
Oh dear, that’s just totally begging for a "There is no God 
" reponse.
Why all the vehement insistence that it has to be about something?
Of course, there is that whole “No Joke Threads In The Pit” thing, I suppose.
Attention Defiicit Syndrome (ADD) is a medical condition. People who suffer from ADD cannot pay attention for very long. They can’t help it. Og wants us to be nice to people with ADD.
Does it not seem logical that Attention Whore Disorder (AWD) is also a medical condition? These people cannot have enough attention paid to them. Og himself suffers from AWD, and it behooves his followers to shower attention upon those who truly seek it.
It’s okay, however, to say bad things about people with AWD. That’s still attention. Additionally, it gives the sufferer an opportunity to seek even more attention.
Ultimately it’s a beautifully balanced system: those who desperately seek attention and those whom it annoys the fuck out of.
I think I’m one of the people you’re talking about. I posted my pic in that thread with a comment to the effect that no one ever notices – which is true. I had posted the same pic in two or three previous picture threads, and it wasn’t even a blip on the radar.
One doesn’t have to be an attention whore to feel like a leper at the prom when it seems that everyone else in the thread, including many who are at best average, is being lavished with compliments while your existence isn’t even acknowledged.
In real life I’m generally considered, well…let’s just say above average. So being ignored here makes me wonder if people on these boards just don’t like me personally for some reason. It’s natural to want reassurance, or barring that, at least to know why not. I mean, what are those threads if not giant blatant attention-fests?
Damn, my irony meter just broke.
Well, I’ve talked about myself long enough. Now let’s hear what you think of me.
This is the stupidest fucking thread in the long, sorry history of stupid threads on this board.
Did I mention I’m not wearing pants?
Hey ** Nordic ** did you say something, I missed it if you did? 
I’m sorry, I thought the title of this OP was Attention! Whores have privacy rights too, you know!
Me being all up for the voiceless 'n all. Apologies. Carry on.
Nordic, you have a wonderful personality.
God damn it! I’m beautiful and no one’s giving me my due!
I think this was a reasonably good thread, but could have used some supporting links in the OP.
I totally know what you mean. So far no one’s said anything about me, either. And I don’t think I’m hideous. I agree with the part of your post that I bolded, even though saying that out loud makes me feel kind of mean. However, I want someone to compliment my pictures based on my pictures, not because I get all Eeyore and say, “No one ever notices me. Sigh… Why do I even bother?” I wouldn’t want someone to see that, feel bad, and then feel like they have to compliment me. I just accept that I’m not the most gorgeous person in the thread. And in the end, it’s not a big deal to me.
Fire trucks are red!
This made me laugh so loud I think my neighbors heard me. I’m making this my new sig!

I resent the implication - inference, whatever. Withdraw that comment or meet me in the Pit.

Note the master at work: cunningly cocked up the coding so that I’d have an excuse to post again, and then post another post explaining what I’d done.
