Dear Emptees, Let me start by saying I would never mean to hurt you. In the beginning of the relationship we started out great. We were both so young and full of ambition. It didn't take much love to make me feel like a man all day. We tried new things together. It was fun. But lately, I feel like we're drifting apart. You've gained a little weight, and just aren't as pretty as when you were younger. I grew up and started seeing new people and hanging around with people my age. Lately, you just seem to be hanging out with the younger crowd. All you want to talk about is christianity, sonic the hedgehog,gauging ears, new clothing companies that only launch with 2 "pre-order" shirts, and so forth. I just don't feel like we connect at the same level anymore. It's not you it's me. Forever & Always, Faith By Design 2009-04-08T15:23:21-04:00 30 2009-04-08T12:21:23-04:00 16620 false false 1498 182 1 2009-11-08T02:19:40-05:00 702 if you dont like it you can giit ouut <img src="http://images.southparkstudios.com/img/content/characters/134a.jpg" /> 16620 Post 2009-04-08T12:24:46-04:00 432202 2342 2009-04-08T12:24:46-04:00 <img src="http://www.grabup.com/uploads/dba68e25aad9b2be661ea8b24477cb8d.png?direct" /> 16620 Post 2009-04-08T12:34:12-04:00 432216 954 2009-04-08T12:34:12-04:00 <blockquote><cite>chrisrushing said:</cite> <img src="http://www.grabup.com/uploads/dba68e25aad9b2be661ea8b24477cb8d.png?direct" /></blockquote> Speaks volumes I think. 16620 Post 2009-04-08T12:35:15-04:00 432217 4486 2009-04-08T12:35:15-04:00 Maybe we should have emptees.com and then empteens.com? 16620 Post 2009-04-08T12:35:38-04:00 432218 4486 2009-04-08T12:38:37-04:00 i miss the old emptees a lot too:(( 16620 Post 2009-04-08T12:38:19-04:00 432221 3643 2009-04-08T12:38:19-04:00 <blockquote><cite>hunty said:</cite> Maybe we should have emptees.com and then empteens.com?</blockquote> haha thats awesome 16620 Post 2009-04-08T12:40:40-04:00 432228 5678 2009-04-08T12:40:40-04:00 Couldn't agree more.

This is just one more completely unnecessary thread, especially by your standards. What do you expect people to say, or do? There's a "new thread" button if none of the titles seem appealing to you. Do somethin' *edit* but regardless; I wish you all the best man with everything you do, talented mofug. Didn't want to make this seem like an ill-willed post. take care! 16620 Post 2009-04-08T12:52:12-04:00 432254 5431 2009-04-08T13:05:01-04:00 <blockquote><cite>eZ-kun said:</cite> <blockquote><cite>hunty said:</cite> send noodz ahem, sorry.

It seems to be that many new/young artists can sense the level of comfort in being personal on here with other artists, so they are just being themselves. Or the new artists have never heard of many well-respected artists on here and they simply don't know any better. Of course that's not true for everyone, but its apparent to be a trend. <blockquote><cite>discordantart said:</cite> Agree with Hunty completely.

I would say that you could search the threads and find 80% of what you are looking for. 16620 Post 2009-04-08T13:17:05-04:00 432307 1067 2009-04-08T13:17:05-04:00 <blockquote><cite>hunty said:</cite> send noodz ahem, sorry.

It's just like the music scene. You feel like you were the first person to like a band and hate what happens when everyone else finds out about it and they get super popular.

The more people that do, the more that will come. Think of it as interest on a bank note. The more you get , the more you pay. This literally happens at EVERY big site on the net. There are always those select few that think of it as "theirs" and I totally understand that. Does it make it right? Probably not. But, I do get it. I was part of a site that catered to one select motorcycle, and it seemed like overnight, everyone bought the damn thing, or wanted too. We were all upset. I guess what im trying to say is, with all due respect, get over it. Are you not part of a new website somewhere? I dont really know anyone that got their aol 1.5 disks, dialed up to the net, and picked their 5 websites to frequent, and never go anywhere else. 16620 Post 2009-04-08T13:50:50-04:00 432383 13405 2009-04-08T13:50:50-04:00 sorry, I took so olong to write that, I see im really just echoing many people, that said it way better.
