Black Rock Shooter Miyuki Hmmmm, as I look at the last several pages I kinda gotta laugh. It's seriously naive to think people who, most likley, joined because they like D. Gray-man and wanted to hang with like minded people are going to instantly catch onto a "family" vibe that people who've known each other for years have with each other. There's nothing like that in the mission statement thingamabob on the page everyone sees when first joining. There's just a happy little welcome and a little ramble about how it's for people who like the show/comic. I dunno about other folks but it's pretty impossible for me to feel like family with folks I've known for all of two or three months max. And then yelling at folks over not getting something that was never asked of them, that's pretty retarded and only scares folks off or pisses them off. And really I can't feel bad about not providing something that was never asked of me or for not forming a deep bond with people I barely know. It's redundant and doesn't cater to the desire for warm fuzzies or rage but I had to throw my bit in. Oi...don't remind me of my stupidity, please. That's something I want to forget as soon as possible. Oh, and welcome home, Miyuki.

Chaoe1234 Allen@ So you agree with me that I was annoying? XD gah!, I was such a cling-on, it's so embarassing. "XD
You weren't as annoying as me. XD
Miyuki: We're only trying to preserve the guild, the way it was meant to.
Would be so kind as to go back to the home page and reread it? There is a story. I would like for you to read it please.

And I'm sure it is. For people who've been here a long time. For others, come on every guild says that. But it's pointless to ask of people who barely know each other.

.__.
Actually, there is a whole long explanation on the Home Page about how this Guild is like a family.
Ahem:
"On a fair, still night in a casual DGM-themed hangout hosted by Allen Walker and Livverz, something special happened.
One by one, two by two, people started to come in and play.
The night was alive and the party was jumping, people staying until the late hours.
New found friendship and deep affection for each other filled their hearts.
Too soon, the summer event ended, but would they simply wander off and forget? No.
They stayed a small place which was temporary, plans for a home were made.
A bigger, better home for them and the ones they loved.
This is that home. "

When this guild first started, we barely knew each other. In a few weeks time, we were close. We could confide in one another... If you don't feel that way, I won't force you, but there's no reason to flog the dead horse now.

My point is really only this. A place can't be home to someone until it gains meaning. A pretty story that no doubt very few people read means very little to someone like me and several others that were told "Hey, I see you guys like D. Gray-man, why not come join our guild?" or whatever it was specifically. Most people are like "cool, other folks who like the same series! I'll join up!" and don't read that kinda thing. And if they do it just seems like an overdone retelling of "Hey dude, we should totally make a guild." If I'm going to be demanded to feel lovey dovey for people I barely know and have warm fuzzies shoved down my throat then this isn't what I signed up for. I came to chill and have fun, not get yelled at for not greeting someone I've never seen.

You should greet everyone, It's seriously the nicest thing to do. Even in real life.
A simple 'Hi' can brighten the worse of days.
Anyway. It's how you feel, and I won't try to change that, I'm tired of trying to make sense. =w=;;
I do understand the angle you're coming from though. If you want to continue talking, Please PM me. Let's not cause people to feel uncomfortable here.

You're not getting yelled at for not being lovey dovey with people. That's not at all what we were saying.
It is simply customary for us to welcome everyone and talk to everyone. When a member is being blatantly ignored when it's obvious they're trying to join into the fun, it's not something that we can allow to go on. Everyone here should be welcomed.
It's something we like to call making new acquaintances and friends.
Furthermore, you can't really come in here after simply reading the last few pages, and pass a judgment like you have. You don't know the full story, and I really would like it if you could get off your high horse of Judgment.
The discussion was over before you came in here, and things were getting along just fine. So, I'd quite like the subject to be dropped now, because really there is no need to continue this further.
