-2003

-Because TOD was getting hacked.

-Good.

-2

-Ashley (BrokenAnjelWingz / TwistedEnigma)

-None

-Quite a few

-Likes: Drama, forums, RC. Dislikes: The sheer amount of stupidity, the amount of entitled mothers who tell each other how to be a parent.

-I've experienced both of them. I lol'd at the amount of people bitching after the second one about "losing data" when they were told multiple times to back up their diaries.

-Somewhere in the vicinity of 15.

-Ban sheer stupidity.

I almost said something similar to your answer to the last question, but decided that just this once I would be a little more tactful!

How long have you been a memeber of Bloop? Since 2003

Why did you join? OD had too many pop-ups and one of my OD friends, Mrs_Steve was moving here and suggested I try it.

How did members of Bloop treat you upon your arrival? Everyone was friendly enough. But I didn't arrive alone. I already knew Rachel, and I brought another of my OD faces (Fight or Flight) with me.

How many diaries do you currently have? One

Who was your 1st friend? Well I guess Rachel and Beth. I can't remember who my first new friend on Bloop was. Probably someone who isn't here anymore. Then Lauren (stars may collide) and Sarah (I_am_potassium).

How many Bloopers have you met in real life? Three current Bloopers (Beth, Leanne, Andrea), plus another who has left. I hope to meet a lot more this summer though at the British Bloop Picnic!

How many Bloop enemies have you made? Too many to count. Lol. Some of my haters later became my friends though.

Name 3 things that you absolutely love about Bloop & 3 things that you just can't stand:

- It's a small community and has a nicer atmosphere than a big site like OD.
- There's some wonderful people here.
- I've met people here who I never would have met off line and I've learned about other countries, cultures and religions through them.
- It gives me an outlet and somewhere to get advice when I'm stressed
- Dear Anonymous - brilliant entertainment. Idiot watching at it's best. ;D

(OK, I know that was 5!)

- There's also some really stupid and some really ignorant people here. Who particularly like to hang about the forums. :P
- There's some really childish people here too
- There's too many people here who don't know how to actually debate something, who think that if they shout their point of view loud enough, it'll make it true, without constructing any sort of logical argument or producing any actual evidence to back it up

Have you experienced a Bloop "crash" before? If so, how many times have you experienced it & how did it make you feel? What made you decide not to leave Bloop afterward? At least two or three big crashes. I can't remember. But on only one of those occassions were a large number of entries lost, and I had 5 1/2 years of my 7 year diary (I transfered all my OD entries over in 2003) downloaded anyway, so it didn't affect me too much. I download more often now, and I cross post at OD, but there's no other online community quite like Bloop. And my friends are here.

How many of your entries have been nominated for RC? I've lost count of that too! I've had a few. I think I've had entries on RC abortion, euthanasia, and gun laws, amongst others!

If you could change just 1 thing about Bloop, what would it be and why? I don't think I'd change anything actually. :)

How long have you been a memeber of Bloop?
Since the beggining of Febuary 2003.

Why did you join?
Because at the time I had an FOD and the site kept being offline so some of my friends were coming to Bloop. I don't like to feel left out and it looked nice, so I created my own.

How did members of Bloop treat you upon your arrival?
They were nice!

How many diaries do you currently have?
Technically 3, but I'm only using two (this one and my "designs" one.)

Who was your 1st friend?
Well technically it was this guy who brought me from FOD to Bloop... We're not friends anymore. He disapears and comes back to Bloop every now and then.

How many Bloopers have you met in real life?
2. The best ones, Beth and Lauren. :)

How many Bloop enemies have you made?
I don't think I have any Bloop enemies. Unless you count that dude that brought me. lol He doesn't like me so much anymore.

Name 3 things that you absolutely love about Bloop & 3 things that you just can't stand:
- I've always loved the community feel to it.
- I like the layout and features.
- It's entertaining. ;)

Have you experienced a Bloop "crash" before? If so, how many times have you experienced it & how did it make you feel? What made you decide not to leave Bloop afterward?
You know, I always seem to be "away" when Bloop crashes happen! lol I wasn't around for the first one because I was moving and didn't have internet access. I never really noticed my entries being lost until the latest recent one. I did not that well though.

How many of your entries have been nominated for RC?
I honestly don't remember. I haven't had an entry on RC for years, but once upon a time years ago I had a few up there, though I can't even remember what they were about.

If you could change just 1 thing about Bloop, what would it be and why?
Sometimes I wish I could get rid of people.

"Who was your 1st friend?
Well technically it was this guy who brought me from FOD to Bloop... We're not friends anymore. He disapears and comes back to Bloop every now and then."

Haha, I totally neglected to mention him in my answers because I didn't think he deserved it :P.

Yeah, I should've gone ahead and said it was you! lol

I find it kindof amusing though that I mentioned him as my first friend and my only bloop enemy. lol

How long have you been a memeber of Bloop? Since Feb 2003

Why did you join? Followed a friend here from OD.

How did members of Bloop treat you upon your arrival? Like anyone else I would suppose.... good.

How many diaries do you currently have? 1

Who was your 1st friend? Unless you count the one I followed here from OD, I don't actually recall.

How many Bloopers have you met in real life? That would depend. Former or current? 3 total though.

How many Bloop enemies have you made? No idea.

Name 3 things that you absolutely love about Bloop & 3 things that you just can't stand: Love - Features, site security, and the people. Dislike - Trolls, close minded people, and repetitive drama.

Have you experienced a Bloop "crash" before? If so, how many times have you experienced it & how did it make you feel? What made you decide not to leave Bloop afterward? Yes... twice. I also helped to restore data that was thought to be lost forever.

How many of your entries have been nominated for RC? No idea... a few anyway.

If you could change just 1 thing about Bloop, what would it be and why? I would recode the comment star selection page and add new stars. But I am not staff anymore... so blah.

How long have you been a memeber of Bloop? Since 2003

Why did you join? Because FOD sucked and was having lots of downtime.

How did members of Bloop treat you upon your arrival? Good

How many diaries do you currently have? 2

Who was your 1st friend? Lander

How many Bloopers have you met in real life? 1

How many Bloop enemies have you made? None

Name 3 things that you absolutely love about Bloop & 3 things that you just can't stand: Likes: Community size, bloopxtra and the people in general. Dislikes: Drama, forum trolls, and more drama... lol

Have you experienced a Bloop "crash" before? If so, how many times have you experienced it & how did it make you feel? What made you decide not to leave Bloop afterward? I experienced all of them. It kinda made me panic, but I knew Steve would get it back up eventually. I decided to stay because I've been a dedicated member since 2003, and no other diary site feels the same.

How many of your entries have been nominated for RC? 3, I think.

If you could change just 1 thing about Bloop, what would it be and why? Stupid people/drama.

How long have you been a member of Bloop? Since May 28, 2003, so this month comes my 6th Bloopversary!

Why did you join? I came here with Bia (international) from FOD after it became extremely unreliable.

How did members of Bloop treat you upon your arrival? Great.

How many diaries do you currently have? I own three, co-own two, and participate in (as in am on the switch for) five others.

Who was your 1st friend?

How many Bloopers have you met in real life? Three.

How many Bloop enemies have you made? None that I'm aware of?

Name 3 things that you absolutely love about Bloop & 3 things that you just can't stand: I love the community, the drama, and the forums. I don't love the inability for most people to hold a decent argument without resorting to calling names and standing in corners.. and.. thats about it.

Have you experienced a Bloop "crash" before? If so, how many times have you experienced it & how did it make you feel? What made you decide not to leave Bloop afterward? I was here for the "crash of 2006" (I think it was 2006.. it was 2006, right? lol) and the "blackout of 2008" and I was upset both times. The second time I got frantic as I'd not backed up my diary in a while, but then again after 2006 (?) that was MY fault. I didn't leave because I couldn't find another community as good as this one, or another site as user-friendly as this one.

How many of your entries have been nominated for RC? None.

If you could change just 1 thing about Bloop, what would it be and why? I'd really like the option to choose on each entry if you want comments private or not. It'd make things a lot easier as far as diaries like ~themed LIMS. goes where on voting entries and submission entries we need comments to be private, but on results entries we'd like people to be able to comment publicly and hold discussions.

I don't know how, but I somehow skipped the "Who was your 1st friend?" question. The answer to that would be Bia, because I came here with her :P.

Yeah, that's not cool, forgetting to answer the question about ME! Humft.

PRITTII IS YOUR HARDCORE BLOOP ENEMY, YO! SHE WAS DEEPLY UPSET THAT YOU DIDN'T POST HER SEEKRITS! ;D

Lol I read that you met 3 Bloopers and I was about to say "Anna, me and who was the third one????" Oh how silly, I totally consider Beth as part of the me. lol

Oh, I just realised that I forgot in my answer the 3 things that I don't like about Bloop. Opps, too lazy to go back and add to it now. lol

Yes, your change for Bloop would be a good one!

How long have you been a memeber of Bloop? I have been a member since October of 2003.

Why did you join? I've always enjoyed keeping a diary. Bloopdiary.com seems to be the best online diary that I've been able to find so far.

How did members of Bloop treat you upon your arrival? Some people were nice to me, others were not so nice.

How many diaries do you currently have? I use to have 3 but now I am down to just 1.

Who was your 1st friend? Phrytoy

How many Bloopers have you met in real life? None, however I have recruited a few of my close personal friends. :D :D :D

How many Bloop enemies have you made? Emmmanies? Golly I don't have any of those.

Name 3 things that you absolutely love about Bloop & 3 things that you just can't stand:
♥LIKE = The layout on the main page, being able to access "random" diaries by using the "random" button/feature, the laid back vibe.
♥DISLIKES = childish over dramatic Bloopers, everyone saying "yo" (come on, that's just so junior high ghetto gangsta.. ewww), some of the cliques here that seem to think they're better than everyone else. :P

Have you experienced a Bloop "crash" before? If so, how many times have you experienced it & how did it make you feel? What made you decide not to leave Bloop afterward? Yes, I experienced both of them. I wasn't happy about it but obviously I wasn't too butt -hurt considering that I am still here. :D :D :D I really dig this site, Steve seems pretty chill, there are a lot of nice people here for the most part. Why on earth would I want 2 leave (crash or not)?

How many of your entries have been nominated for RC? 1 or 2 I think.

If you could change just 1 thing about Bloop, what would it be and why? I would change Bloop Xtra. It would be free. :P *lol* Hey I'm a sucker 4 free shit, what can I say? :P :D :)

How long have you been a memeber of Bloop? since 2004.

Why did you join? TOD was dead and dying, and I liked online diarying, and so I googled 'diary site' and Bloop came up. xD

How did members of Bloop treat you upon your arrival? Very well. It didn't feel like there were very many members, but everyone seemed really mature and friendly.

How many diaries do you currently have? Quite a few. xD Got this diary, my personal diary, and then a bunch of other diaries that I share with other people (classic layouts, Project Service, red-light rhapsody.).

Who was your 1st friend? Errrrr that's going waaaay back. xD Most of my first friends are now long gone. I guess my oldest and still-present friend on Bloop is Jodi.

How many Bloopers have you met in real life? NONE. But that's because I live so far awaaaay!

How many Bloop enemies have you made? I wouldn't say 'enemies' as much as I would say 'people I like to laugh at due to their stupidity/ignorance (as evidenced in the points they try to make)'. xD

Name 3 things that you absolutely love about Bloop & 3 things that you just can't stand: I love being able to create layouts, the bonds I have with my fellow service/creative friends here, and the fact that Steve is constantly listening to what we have to say and improving the site. I can't stand how there seems to be such a thin buffer surrounding stupidity and closed-mindedness, because we're online and because people can say anything. Which they can. But it doesn't mean that everything they type is gospel.

Have you experienced a Bloop "crash" before? If so, how many times have you experienced it & how did it make you feel? What made you decide not to leave Bloop afterward? Many many times... made me feel frustrated, annoyed that I didn't back things up (although I did this time!! Mwahaha), sad that people decided it was too much for them and left the site. But I'm happy to see that Bloop is growing again. I didn't leave because this is my home!!! I'm here til the end, yo!

How many of your entries have been nominated for RC? None! My personal diary is full of crap. xD And... it is not common practice to RC layouts. xD

If you could change just 1 thing about Bloop, what would it be and why? Have an IQ entrance exam. xD Or have a 'stupidity detector' in forum posts and entry publishing so that the text is scanned for stupidity, and if the stupidity level is above a certain mark, then they will be asked to remove all portions of the text containing that stupidity. =) Although... that would mean so much less entertainment. xD

I have been a member since.... Ummm.... hmmm.... I have no idea. I think I've been here for 2 or 3 years??? Hmmm... No idea....

I joined because: I found it through my ex. Was going through a shit house patch in my life, and desperately needed somewhere to vent and people to vent to. Didn't have many friends, so Bloop was perfect.

I was treated... wonderfully when I came to Bloop. My first fast friends were Lauren. (Lauren), Super Logica (Millie) and Comment Whore (Teresa).

I have one diary.

My first friend was Lauren. ;D Love you girlie!!!!

I have met 2 bloopers in real life. Genes and Chris.

I have no known enemies..... I mean, people on this site have the potential to piss me off, but I just don't engage in debate or discussion with them. Solves my problems.

I love: The layouts I can have for my diary :D, the bloop drama entertaining fun, and the awesome friends you make on here.

I hate: When bloop is down and I don't have my procrastination tool, wankers on the site and religious wankers ;)

I have experience one crash I think... I dunno, I don't really pay attention.

RC Don't think I've had any entries voted RC.

I would change.... Hmmmmm... I don't think I care enough. I wouldnt change anything.

How long have you been a memeber of Bloop? --I don't know. I didn't keep tabs on when I started.

Why did you join? I can't remember. A friend of mine probably asked me to.

How did members of Bloop treat you upon your arrival? Much like they do now: they don't. I never got (still don't get) very much feedback from my entries. Of course, now I don't post anymore so they have a good reason now.

How many diaries do you currently have? 2, for some reason. I will use one as my main for a while, then switch to the other just for the heck of it, I suppose.

Who was your 1st friend? Lacy or Rachael, I assume.

How many Bloopers have you met in real life? 1. My ex.

How many Bloop enemies have you made? Um. Conspiracy Corner didn't like me to much...

Name 3 things that you absolutely love about Bloop & 3 things that you just can't stand: i like: 1) laughing at people. 2: n/a 3: n/a -- can't stand: 1) how just about everyone seems to be liberal. 2) how everyone is intolerant. 3) most of the time it's boring and i dunno why i stay here

Have you experienced a Bloop "crash" before? If so, how many times have you experienced it & how did it make you feel? What made you decide not to leave Bloop afterward? Yes. Too many of them. Bloop seems very unstable. This is why I no longer post any entries.

How many of your entries have been nominated for RC? 1 or 2.

If you could change just 1 thing about Bloop, what would it be and why?

err..

If you could change just 1 thing about Bloop, what would it be... I'd probably kick a lot of people off. ...and why? Because I don't like them?

I have been a member since September 4th 2004.

I joined because I used to read Ryan over at OD, back when it was experiencing a lot of problems. He said he was over here so I thought I'd try it out.

Nobody greeted me when I first arrived! And I was a self-centred 16 year old suffering with an eating disorder, so I got a lot of crap off people.

I only have one diary, but I have had a survey one and a blends one back when they were cool ;)

I don't have any proper friends because I've always found it difficult to forge friendships online, but I guess my first friend here would be Suzi.

Not met any in real life, although a couple don't live very far from me so it's possible in the future it may happen!

No enemies. There are people that irritate me but that's true of everybody.

I love: Bloop's friendliness, the size of the site and the forums!
I hate: how closed-minded certain people here are, the constant arguing, how people bitch at you for stating your opinion. However, that is not as bad as it used to be by any means!

I have experienced all crashes since I joined! They irritated me but I downloaded my diary before the most recent crash so I was cool, I only lost about 3 months.

Um I've had maybe 4 entries on RC. They were all rants lol.

The only thing I'd change is kicking some people off here haha.

GOSH, YO - BOTTOM WAS MY FIRST FRIEND! SHE DIDN'T LIKE ME AT FIRST, BUT SHE TOTALLY ALWAYS COMMENTED ME, RIGHT FROM THE START! AND WHEN I DIDN'T UPDATE FOR, LIKE, A WHOLE WEEK SHE TOTALLY COMMENTED ASKING ME IF I'D FALLEN DOWN THE TOILET! ;D

::LMAO:: OMG that's wonderful!! XD

AND GOSH, I'VE EXPERIENCED LOTS OF BLOOP CRASHES AND LOTS OF BEING NOMINATED FOR RC! ALL PART OF THE BLOOP EXPERIENCE. IT IS RATHER FUN TO CHAT TO BLOOP FRIENDS ON MSN AND SAY 'OH NOZ!! BLOOP IS BROKEN!' AND THEN HAVE ALL THE SUSPENSE OF IT NOT COMING BACK AND THEN SAYING 'OMGWTFBBQ!!! LIKE IT'S REALLY BROKEN! IT'S NEVER COMING BACK! WE WILL HAVE TO FIND A NEW DIARY SITE!' AND THEN IT'S TOTALLY GREAT WHEN IT COMES BACK - LIKE A NAUGHTY BAD PENNY, YO! SO OF COURSE I COME BACK - LIKE A NAUGHTY BAD PENNY MYSELF! ;D GOSH, BLOOP WOULDN'T BE BLOOP WITHOUT ALL THE CRASHES!

What's a bad penny? XD

OH, LIKE, IT'S AN EXPRESSION. 'TURN UP LIKE A BAD PENNY'. PRESUMABLY FROM BACK IN THE DAY WHEN PENNIES WERE WORTH SOMETHING! ;D THE DEFINITION IS HERE (ALTHOUGH I HASTEN TO POINT OUT THAT THE PHRASE IS NOW GENERALLY USED TONGUE-IN-CHEEK AND IN AN AFFECTIONATE WAY, SO I AM NOT EXPRESSING HARDCORE HATRED OF BLOOP OR ANYTHING! ;D).
