Well Subeta's users shouldn't be so nice then, should they? :P

People who gift beg and aren't even subtle about it make me cringe. I do post on people's gift bragging threads but only if it's because I'm in my congratulating mood or I'm in awe at how many birthday gifts a person has gotten.

Ok Roxxy 1. Your HA is srs fucking hot makes note to mention you on WADYL AND 2. Birthday begging via forum set is my pet peeve.

See like with the birthday thing in the forumset I don't mind. Cause i just go and wish them a Happy Birthday and sometimes that's all people want ^^

And the goals. Well like. Maybe someone's selling one for cheap and the person'll see that. Like..this person was saving up for something and I sold it to them for a price they could afford. I don't mind. However, I'm trying to fricking buy these things desperatly so..why not put it in a forumset

Hah! On my birthday I only got presents from my friends on subeta, meaning my rl friend who gots me MCTs and such.

I totally can feel where your coming from Roxy❤ -_-

I can ignore the beggars on the SB( I call it the Beggar box tho not all are beggars, but a good many are ) and forums. The ones I can't are the ones that have had the audacity to post me a comment: wow, liek ur so rich!1!1 send me a reborn potion.

🤒 -sprays beggar-b-gone-

I actually saw one user tell the SB that it was her birthday 4 days in a row, when called out, she said in her religion, birthdays last a week. I could only laugh at this and tell her to GTFO because she'd follow up her birthday announcement with a made up event in hopes that others would follow suit and gift her as well.

Or seeing one person sound out little things to users of the SB, nothing expensive at all, and then 3 or 4 users come running in saying ''Oh is it gift-bombing time'' or ''What's gift-bombing?'' or the best of them all ''I've never been gift-bombed, is that a good thing?''

Begging is horrible, and those that do beg should be punted out.

I'd hate to be a woman in that religion then. Birthweeks? Ouch!

Amen.

I detest beggars,People who go into the wish list topics say what they want and take it without returning.

One person who did this eventually got frozen for taking all the time. It is not hard to get stuff on here but they are too lazy to get things for themselves

Oh giveaways... XD Such an.. interesting.. forum to mod. :P

All I can say is, I feel your pain Roxy. <3

I agree. It's almost just as bad when it's not in the forumset, but when posting they always take the time to integrate into their post somewhere the fact that it's their birthday, even if it's completely irrelevant to the topic.

I've never gotten a birthday gift on Subeta but I dgaf because I'd rather work hard for my shit or get some from friends that actually WANT to give me something, not because I begged, but because they care. So there's really no hard feelings. Birthday begging just... ugh. It is really rude and not tasteful at all.

Gift begging is my pet peeve here. The ones that outright ask for stuff are annoying as sin, but the worst are the ones that think they're being oh-so-subtle or crafty while being glaringly obvious in their motives. The ones that make topics about how sad they are because it's their birthday and everyone forgot/they didn't get any presents/some calamity ruined their day. The ones that heave overly-dramatic sighs over and over again to anyone who'll listen about how they'll never get their dream item. The reverse psychology when gift bombing is going on, and then the god damn "It's my birthday!" topics...ugh.

I know some of them are made in all innocence, but I bet most of them aren't. I especially love how one "It's my birthday!" board always seems to spawn at least two or three more of them the same day. The minute other users see that someone got a gift for their birthday they all pile on the bandwagon and try their own hand at it. It's especially painful when you notice the same user making birthday boards more than once in a year -_-;

I don't mind birthday reminders on lookups, but I agree; having a 'countdown' in a signature is indeed very tacky. :(

-_-

People have the right to be excited that their birthday is coming up.

Especially when their birthday is on a national holiday. XD Or when it is their sweet sixteen. XD Or when it is the time that they finally can start driving. Or finally start the job that has been waiting for them for months. Or finally start their Junior year (not really because of my birthday, but does happen three days after my birthday. XD)

It is not for the presents. It is because I am excited and this is a happy time for me.

I quit going to the shout box because not 5 minutes of conversation would pass without a moron begging for gifts...

and I even quit making quest/random even brags cause 9/10ths of the time immediately after I would get some idiot commenting on my profile about giving the item to them....

I mean sure we all love gifts but good god the begging has to stop :K

You can be excited about your birthday without advertising it in your poss for 2 straight weeks beforehand...

there are people that post random birthdays and suggestions of gift bombing all the time in CC (i don't frequent the other boards mentioned). i suppose it wouldn't bother me as much, but they seem to come out of the woodwork... and half the time i've never seen them before so it seems especially obvious.

Crystally, you cannot be serious. You didn't just post to a gift bragging is tacky thread with all of the reasons why we think it's tacky, did you? Yeah, we get that you are excited but you just derailed a thread because I'm supposed to care that you are sweet 16? You've been "excited" for over a month now. We've all watched in amazement as you posted your ISS beg and then you got all pissy about it and changed it to PPL CAN'T TAKE A JOKE LOL to what you have now, which is much better, but still tacky imo.

Brag in your profile or journal or whatever, but not everyone sees it the way you do and don't try to explain it to me.

LOL

Anyhow, I'm shocked as to how bad the SB is! I suppose i'm glad that I don't hang out there.. birthday for four days? wtf? lol.

Forums are PUBLIC. They are not just for friends to see. By having a birthday countdown in your forum text, you are essentially saying:

ATTENTION PLEASE: My Birthday is in 4 days, only 4 shopping days left get a move on. To everyone.

I just don't get it. I mean what void does having random people you don't know give you things fill anyways? I mean are these people walking up and down the street wearing a T-shirt that says

4 DAYS TILL MY BIRTHDAY SEND ME GIFTS?

I hope not.

really, do you realize how pathetic you sound right now? or, do you actually think people CARE? my god. get a livejournal for fucks sake.

Oh my, I've never really noticed people doing all this stuff before. lol

Tacky, though. That's just plain lame to beg people for stuff. This is a game, earn it yourself through hard work and patience.
