SDMBconfess got deleted some time ago. I have heard there are other similar anon communities out there, but haven’t found any yet, and chances are nobody on the SDMB is going to point them my way (because of various draconian board rules).
Firstly, I know that some people HATED SDMBconfess. Why? Probably because annonymous bastards were badmouthing them, poring over their livejournals to dig up dirt, etc. But I enjoyed it, because it really felt like the dark side of the SDMB, all the hate and vitriol of that place distilled down into an annonymous community.
I was roasted there, they devoted a whole discussion about how I was a whiner that bitched about work too much and was too socially inept to interact around women properly. Fair enough. But when I read it, I laughed more than I seethed. Much of what was said was hyperbole, but there was some truth to it. Yet at that point, I had been improving my life, I had already finished college, was cast in a play, overall my life was looking up. So in my head, those annonymous cowards were saying, “See how much of a shithead you used to be? Look how much you improved!” rather than, “You are a loser.” I miss SDMBconfess now because I’d love to see them grasp at straws trying to berate me about my life, of which I am very satisfied with. I have a girlfriend, I don’t feel inept around women, I’m not insecure about my job, etc. I guess I’ve transitioned from ‘whiner’ to ‘attention whore’ since in their eyes people who are unsucessful are ‘whiners’ and people who ARE sucessful and mention the sucess are ‘attention whores’. The entertaining thing about it is watching them make asses of themselves. Also, since it is an annonymous community, its also fun to join in the pile-on they had about me and say ‘Yeah! Incubus is a loser! HA HA!’ for fun
