User blog:Acatonthemoon/The Warning Label

You know that big red warning sign? Or the bright yellow caution label? Of course you all know the skull and cross bones. Well this is DARPs skull and crossbones.

Warning. By joining DARP you have a one in three chance of ending up in an even worse place than you were when you started. From the heirarchy which is ever present to the cliques which, despite peoples continued insistance, have never really left. If you don't manage to worm you're way into a clique within the first few minutes of being here, you most certainly sentencing yourself to a DARP life in the shadows unless of course you manage to get onto the admin team in which case congrats! You managed to be a better choice than the other candidates which certain members clearly just didn't want to be voted in. Welcome to a new life out of the shadows! Of course, now you're one of the popular kids you can't talk to the people who helped you through that tough time outside of the spot light. You can show you're gratitude for their support once a month with a hi when they enter on main chat. That'll make them feel welcome, but don't even think of addressing them by name, that's an definite no no.

Caution. By joining DARP you're resinging yourself to a life of lonlieness. Where, from the moment you enter chat to the moment you leave you're going to be completely ignored. But hey, it could be worse! At least they're letting you stay on chat! Does it really matter there's absolutely no chance, when you finally work up the courage to message a user (four days of thinking about it is nothing after all!), there's absolutely zero chance they really want to roleplay with you. Obviously they've got to keep up appearances so of course they agree to roleplay. Only you forgot to read the fine print where they're only agreeing to post three times before coming up with an excuse to leave. Well, that's if they're in a generous mood.

Warning. By joining DARP you're accepting that there's a 90% chance you're going to spend the vast majority of you're nights after closing the webpage crying. Because the place that was meant to be you're escape. The place that was meant to get you out of the nightmare of you're life, has turned out to be an even worse place than you're real life is.

Caution. By joining DARP you're accepting that you're opinions, unless you're a member of the admin team, means nothing. You're a ghost in comparison to those around you. An extra in a movie if you will. A supporting character if you will, meant primarily to allow the more important users to develop themselves and their characters.

This is DARP's skull and crossbones. The warning I dearly wish someone had given me the moment I opened this website.
