Well the "I'm a down on his luck guy etc etc" stuff usually does have a mod give a chunk of advice and then closing, or whatnot, and it usually happens pretty fast. It's just something they seem conditioned to do.

Either way our forum tends to sympathize with any problems people throw out in the open.

I mean heck, Zoran. It took awhile and a little goading before the mods just told him off. Like 10 pages of people being all nice and junk. S'just what we do.

Honestly whenever stuff pops up with Relationship Advice or I'm Just Not Happy With My Life and the person makes mention, oh yeah, I'm not even sixteen yet, my brain just kind of goes to sleep.

I didn't even get there before the reply got posted and Krylo just kind of summed it up for me, in a surprisingly gentle (for him anyway) sort of way.

Which, well, was cool.

This does seem to be one of the few places I've seen where such threads don't invariably garner however many replies of "CRY MOAR" and "suicide is the solution" it takes before a mod finally locks it. Honestly, you probably shouldn't turn to any forums for counseling, but it's nice to see some that aren't always showcasing the worst of humanity.

Well Sith helped me rethink everything when I was having trouble with predicting quantum tunneling in my system but yeah...
I don't know, I tend to avoid all the personal problems thread. Seems like a weird place to seek help to me.

Although I may be paranoid lets not completely rule out the possibility that Krylo just made another profile and made that thread himself. Then, to soften his image, Krylo made it look like he was giving decent advice. It seems that his treachery runs far deeper than we could have ever imagined. Though his plans are not yet revealed I believe we all have some idea what Krylo is trying.

The coup is inevitable, he will most surely strike before dawn.

Fifth, I reccommend 6 guards rather than the regular 3.
Other mods, may all the gods man has ever dreamt watch over you.

Yeah, man. Krylo is such a helpful guy, I mean, he gives awesome advice all the time. I am so glad he sees fit to bless us with his benevolent wisdom. Truly a man of the people, and a towering inferno of intellect.

Those who have nowhere left to run seek the warm embrace, the kind heart, and the soft voice of the internet. Give us your tired, your wretched and your broken. If you're ever in need for anything, the internet is here.

And we care.
