For those who don't know, Post Secret is a website in which people mail their anonymous post cards in with a secret, whether it be a light sweet one, or a serious one. They get posted on the website. Some people send in text secrets by email. I've decided that we should try it for EoFF. :bigsmile:

Here are the rules:

:ichigo: You are to send me a text confession or a post card that you made on photoshop or a picture of a real one you made that contains a secret or confession. You can look on PostSecret.com to see the type of things that are up on there, to give you an idea.

:ichigo: Because this is a forum, it's not to be insulting, or have profanity or bad images. Just keep it appropriate to EoFF, guys, it's common sense. Anything that is against EoFF rules will be censored or just plain not posted.

:ichigo: You can send it via PM if you feel comfortable with that. If you're shy/worried, you can send it to my email (ry.rikkuyuna89 AT gmail.com), and I will promise not to look up your email address, so that it is secret. Though I'd recommend using an email you don't use for EoFF. That way it can be a real anonymous submission! Either way is perfectly fine.

---

Once I have a decent amount of submission, I shall post them up. Remember, these are meant to be ANONYMOUS, so please don't make them in a way that you can be identified right away? That'll just ruin the fun! SECRET!

Have fun, guys. :bigsmile:

Frank whatshisname gave a presentation on post secret at my uni last semester. The best part was when he showed different secrets and when he talked about individually reading every one that was mailed to him and having them pile up in their homes.

I've tried to make myself submit a postsecret secret before but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I'd be afraid in such a small and close environment like eoff that mine would be instantly recognizable.

I can honestly say i have no secrets.. id have to ask you guys to give me an example to tell :p

Rye

You guys are Dr. No Funs. ;; It doesn't have to be a secret so serious and scandalous like the time you stole a baby or caught your Mom with the milk man. And it can be a confession as well, or an idea, or opinion. Just one you don't readily talk about on here. Two of my favorite Post Secret secrets (of the top of my head):

"I stole your duck and took it with me to San Francisco"
"I'm not a bad person... I love people... but I kind of think Hitler is sexy!"

See? Easy. Go for it. <3 I will be submitting a secret. I already got one post card and it's a really good one! Come on!

NeoCracker

Well I can't think of anything.

I don't really keep secrets from people. :(

Rye
04-09-2008, 11:28 AM
It honestly doesn't even have to be a secret. In Post Secret not all of the post cards are "Secretly, I wish..." or "Secretly, I did..."

Some of them are thank yous, recollections on good times, etc. That's why I said confessional/secret. Everyone has THOSE! I would really check out the website to see what I mean.

To make this easier and more secret, it might be a nice idea to create an email that everyone can send from instead of having everyone start making their own individual ones.

It could be open to abuse, but at the same time I don't think it should come to that, and it's not like they can do much damage with it that they couldn't do with their individual secret email anyway.

NeoCracker
04-09-2008, 11:52 AM

But I have this thing about being difficult. :p

eoff.ps@gmail.com is now available for use with the password lolsecret. For those unfamiliar to Gmail, go to www.gmail.com and log in with the user name eoff.ps and the above password. Remember to delete your sent messages to prevent them from being read!

Thanks a ton, Rantz! I'm going to check everything and see if we have enough submission for me to post.

Do you guys want to me post the 7 I have now as examples of good ones, or shall I wait until I get a decent amount (15-ish?) until I post them? I'm really eager to show these all to you, so you get ideas and inspiration. They're really good!

If a CK could sticky this (is it against the rules of the competition?), my smile would be more radiant than Quina's bald scalp glinting in the summer sun. :bigsmile:

I think you should post them now! Some people might not be quite sure what to do, and if these are good examples, it'd help them.

I have to go to class in about five minutes, but if you could get it up before then, I'd be incredibly happy. That way I could walk to class with a smile on my face and a head full of secrets!

Postscript: I thought this thread was a really fantastic idea.

Rye

Aw, thanks a bunch, guys! I'm afraid I can't get it up that fast, but I'll do the fastest I can. <3

Anyway, here is our bunch of submissions. The image ones are first. Text ones come next.

So I just tell you, right?


I am a compulsive liar, and I am constantly lying about myself on the boards. Yup. Sorry.

---

In school I sometimes pretend I don't understand the more complex lessons because my friends don't, and I don't want to make them feel stupid.

---

I really do love all of you. Except those of you that I've already said I hated. In that case, I hate you. But who do I love and who do I hate? I suppose you'll never know. :heart:

---


That's all of them guys. Get the idea. <3 Really fantastic submissions guys, keep them all coming. The next update will be a bigger one, hopefully a 15-20 submission one. But that depends on you, guys!

SUBMIT YOUR SECRETS/CONFESSIONALS BY PM TO ME OR BY EMAIL TO EOFF.PS@GMAIL.COM (password: lolsecret , thanks Rantz <3)

Peegee

PG demands moar! MOAR!

No really, maybe people are afraid to admit stuff. You can keep your submissions non-eoff related, and so it becomes more anonymous?

Rye
04-09-2008, 08:23 PM
Of course! Like you can see in the ones above, it can be about ANYTHING. I honestly have no clue who submitted any of these, except for the people who PM'd them to me. I'm sure people feel the same, because a lot them are only vaguely about the forum or about things completely outside of it. :jess:

Madame Adequate
04-09-2008, 08:42 PM

Heath
04-09-2008, 08:46 PM
Great idea, Rye. Although I'm rather boring and haven't got anything to confess (until I get found out, naturally). I like the idea of the website as it's a really clever way to go about sending things around.

Rye
04-09-2008, 08:47 PM
I got about 5 more submissions! :bigsmile:

I dunno whether I can post one of them though, because one of them was just of a fat old lady calling me fat, and that's technically "insulting." But it made me laugh so I'll just post it anyway for you guys. ;)

Aerith's Knight
04-09-2008, 09:10 PM

That is not cool. I say you just toss that one. No point in posting something like that. But please post the rest, I want to see!

Rye
04-09-2008, 09:28 PM
Yeah, I think I may just do that, because I don't want to set a bad example of what ends up getting posted. xD

But now I have 5, discarding that one. I would like at least 10 before I most another batch up. I'm going to be out with my friends tonight, so when I get back, hopefully, I'll have a good 15 to post for y'all. :jess:

Rye
04-10-2008, 03:12 AM

I tend to be nice to girls, even if im not interested, and though i know i should stop talking like that after a while, i never do, which resulted in a inordinate amount of stalkers.

Oh and i think all the girls on eoff are really pretty :bigsmile:

"you don't harass a person in a wheel chair. you don't tell a person with diabetes that they're "faking it.".. so why do people do that about depression?"
-----

"I pretend to like my parents because they give me money when I'm nice to them."

----

Keep it up, guys. <3 Keep it appropriate and keep it non-insulting. As much as Rye's cheeks blush with the glee of a just married bride when someone makes light about the fact that she has body image problems, you really don't need to flatter her. Post something about yourself. :bigsmile:

I created SimSecret (http://community.livejournal.com/simsecret) and it's going well, so I don't see why an EoFFSecret wouldn't work. Sounds fun!

The secrets so far are neat.

Postsecret is the most depressing website in the universe. Those people make me desperately loathe humans. They remind me of everything that is wrong with the world.

The most depressing thing is probably that people find it "inspirational."

Post Secret can depress me sometimes. But sometimes it does uplift me. I really depends on the batch. This past batch on the real PS made me really sad and scared, especially the one from the woman who wanted to kidnap a baby because she lost hers. I think it's interesting and a wonderful site overall though.

I'm getting some really good submissions now. :jess: Keep them coming guys.

I love that most of those people will only admit their faults in anonymous notes without facing any actual consequences. I love that they send in "secrets" instead of improving their lives. I love that people can post things like "I can't wait for my sister to leave for work every day, so that I can have sex with her boyfriend and all her children" and people will say "yeah, I can relate to that."

Sure, there are a lot of harmless/meaningless/happy secrets, but they are outweighed by the constant reminders of the depraved, evil nature of people in general.

PS: I agree with that Aeris secret. That's one of the main reasons I like the Classic banner so much. Thank you, Classic Banner Maker. (Leeza, unless I've forgotten)

Calliope
04-11-2008, 07:44 AM
Yes, it's Leeza. I'd also like to point out that when Kelly redesigned the front site (the new blue banner that hasn't been transfered to the forums), she took Aeris out, but Daniel Towns instructed her to put her back in, because she was "iconic".

Loony BoB
04-11-2008, 10:33 AM
And it is. And seriously, if we wanted it there just for "OMG BOOBS" then we would have used someone a lot more buxom than Aeris, who shows little skin and is relatively flat. Some people are too easily offended about the tiniest things which aren't even intended to be seen that way, so eh. But Aeris stood out in the EoFF 2005 banner and became 'part of EoFF' in that way, and hence I requested it stay in. Same goes for Cloud riding the chocobo, but I guess people don't really freak out about that and try to point fingers over it.

Personally, though, I would be more than happy with a massive banner made up of Rinoa's chest area. I mean, hey, she wears blue!

Calliope
04-11-2008, 10:59 AM
So I'm supposed to thank you that I get to stare at Aeris instead of Rinoa?

Loony BoB
04-11-2008, 11:15 AM
No, you're supposed to complain about the lack of cleavage in Aeris' picture, demanding we have someone more like Tifa instead.

EDIT: Maybe Lulu. Isn't there a time in FFX where it's just a gratuitious cleavage-shot?

Spuuky
04-11-2008, 11:18 AM
But we could just shift Aeris down slightly and see her face instead of her breasts. Is that so much to ask? It's not even a tasteful or flattering shot of her.

Loony BoB
04-11-2008, 11:32 AM
I think her face is ugly, so that shot is rather flattering. But if you really want, go make a thread in feedback about it. I think we should probably let this thread go back on topic now. :p

Miriel
04-11-2008, 11:50 AM
Some people are too easily offended about the tiniest things which aren't even intended to be seen that way, so eh.
See, this is probably why the person sent in the post secret annoymously rather than posting about it in feedback or something. So they wouldn't have people giving them crap for their opinion.

Rye, post mas please!

I'm not giving them crap any more than they are giving me crap. We're just trading opinions.

Speaking of opinions, my opinion of PostSecret is similar to Rye's. They're interesting but they can be sad on a lot of occasions, too. I prefer the ones that aren't thoroughly disturbing or depressing, personally. But if people get a bit of therapy out of posting their secrets anonymously then I don't see a problem. Whatever makes people feel better shouldn't hurt.

Spuuky
04-11-2008, 12:15 PM
Just so we're clear, I am the one giving you crap about this, not whoever posted that secret. They are specifically avoiding giving you crap about it.

Generally, I guess people can feel threatened by the possibility of criticism, which is why they keep these things secret, but isn't keeping something secret like this an acknowledgment that you have already internalized that potential criticism? It seems like you can't be hurt any more by vocalizing the secret than you can by just assuming those kinds of reactions. Maybe people hold some tiny degree of hope that they will be proven wrong.

I also believe that everyone who posts there secretly wants a relevant person they know to find the secret without them having to actually tell them.

But we could just shift Aeris down slightly and see her face instead of her breasts. Is that so much to ask? It's not even a tasteful or flattering shot of her.

At the time the banner was made, FFVII: AC hadn't been released and the above was the only available image of Aerith from the movie.

Why they don't change it now? Buh?

Well let's think about it for a bit. There are only so many regulars, and out of them, only so many that would submit secrets. Out of those, how many do you think have more than 1?

it's interesting stuff, but I don't suspect it will stay alive very long as a thread

Anyone who has only one "confessional/secret", even those they'd feel comfortable sharing here, can't possibly be human.

I've put in quite a few secrets so far. And I wasn't scraping the barrel either. Some people have put in multiple submissions at once. Everyone has many things they could submit. I think it's just a weekend slow down.

I freaking knew it. I've long suspected that this was the case for a lot of people, but if this 'confession' is serious, then it suggests my suspicions weren't just the result of cynicism.

But hey, whatever floats your boat. Definitely an interesting post secret. I could see that one appearing on the real Post Secret site.

Oh really? Because I know a lot of women. We have girl chats. We talk about these things. And although I have met women who are in bad relationships and refuse to leave, I doubt any of them refuse to leave because they RESPECT the guy for being abusive. Self-esteem issues, fear, laziness, when it's good - it's really good, loneliness, those are all reasons girls stay in relationships with guys who are buttheads. But staying out of respect? Um, yeah, somehow I don't think that it's feasible that this could possibly apply to "a lot of people". I'm betting it applies to very few people.

Peegee
04-14-2008, 07:26 PM
I can assure you I stayed in my last relationship not because I respected her for treating me like trash but for all sorts of other 'psychological' reasons like loss aversion and self esteem / experience issues.

However it's not impossible for a woman to seek men who treat them with disrespect. It happens too often for me to not just write it off as say, psychological problems or some other scapegoat.
