I understand why the idea doesn't exactly fly with a lot of you... but I'm quite tired of people giving up so easily on people who make mistakes and just don't have anyone to correct them... or talk to them about them. Nothing can be forced on someone and obviously if you didn't want to then don't.

There shouldn't be any false pretences. There shouldn't be any catagorizing and labeling. What I ment by this idea, which I continue to stick with, is that it'd be nice, for someone who just joined the forums to be personally greeted and have someone that they can talk to with out fear of being shot down publicly. I figured, with a little open mindedness that cynicalism and pessimisn may be even slightly replaced with optimism.

What's 5 minutes out of a person's day to answer some issues? And by issues, I don't exactly mean personal. Though if the friendship were to evolve that way, then so be it. Even more so the reason to give it a go.

....and honestly, for this hing called too much work? I really don't get that... how can you move ahead if you won't take a few steps forward? Sure, the concept has falws, I've noticed the flaws... but instead of shooting it down enitrely, offer some constructive criticism. Every raw idea has it's bumbs... I truely believe with the right modifications something rewarding and positive could come out of it.

There's a lot of things one could change about the whole concept. ^_^ And I agree with some of the points brought up, some of them I haven't considered... but I feel that other's are just bashing it.... Why? Can it really cause that much disturbance? Some people are so wonderful, but are shy to push themselves into the crowds of wonderful people here... so sometimes all they need is a pull. I'm not saying worship the ground of every new member. I'm merely preposing the fact that there are people who deserve to have the attention we could give them with out stereo types and fabrication. There's a 50% possibility this person could be shy or outgoing. There's a 50% chance this person could be utterly amazing or a huge arse... If my math is correct, that leaves about 25% who are amazing, yet shy... and I sometimes worry about who just walks away.

Life doesn't have to be as complicated as we let it be.
