New Members and Older Members Observation

[Laurasea]

I don't remember that either. Maybe I don't like Old Guard after all...lol

Right?
To me it just ment you were dedicated and had been around awhile

 

[Laurasea]

I was told by my siblings it means Over Geared(when I asked them years ago cuz they kept on using "OG").. though they play shooting games like Fortnite or Call of Duty(my older sibling) That's probably where they got it from🤪😂

I think the meaning of OG depends on the context 🤷‍♀️ I don't know lol

Can you explain over geared?

 

[BirdyBee]

No, I just said my brothers told me that once lol I'm sure that's not what it means

 

[Laurasea]

Its ok. But I'm just curious what over geared means? I don't play online games.

 

[BirdyBee]

My brothers used it when a player was like a super pro or something and they were.. well, "Over Geared" LOL. I don't play shooting games either they're a waste of time for me and they're boring..






It sounds kinda stupid that their(my brothers) definition is what Foxxy meant 'cuz it just doesn't fit in with what we are talking about IMO

Oh no, I see a wrench heading for you. Run Pipp, run!

 

[wrench13]

That your ball? Right there in Spot's poopin' patch? Yeaaah, you go right ahead and get it.

 

[foxgloveparrot]

I'm confused, aren't we talking about your views about PF?

My views, yes
But the way it appears to be for EVERYONE, not just me. If that makes sense

Not really. It wasn't that way for me, and I know of several other people that it wasn't that way for them, so it isn't everyone you're speaking for. It is your opinion, which is fine.

I meant my view on everyone, not everyone’s view on the forum
Never mind. It’s ok. I know I’m not speaking for everyone at all.

Thank you for clearing that up

I've found ParrotForums community unusually cohesive and supportive compared with other venues! Respect for individual perceptions of forum demeanor based on experience, temperament, and expectations. When the chips are down and someone requires assistance or TLC, the response is magnificent and sincere. By far my favorite internet forum!!

 

[Flboy]

Oh well, I thought OG was short for Ogre! These creatures have been around since the beginning of time!

 

[BirdyBee]

Oh wow, so the mods/old members are ogres??! I better run!!

So back to the topic at hand. Any information based web board like this has a fair number of new folks that join with a specific question or problem, and most of the time get answers fairly quickly. However many of those folks do not stick around to post on other threads or topics. Wish that were not true, but it is. Some may stick around for a few months and be active, but they too fall off after awhile. And then there are some that continue to read, post and involve themselves with the board on a daily basis. This is just the nature of things, and I am guilty of this too. I joined a BMW Z3 board when I got one, had questions and a few problems. Questions answered, problem fixed and after a few months I stopped being active, but there was always a core group of dedicated enthusiasts who kept the board alive and running. Same thing here. In fact new members should be thankful there are a core group of parronts who keep the lights on and so forth. That core group often has to answer the same handful of questions maybe hundreds of times a year.

I agree Wrench,
Many find us in their darkest hour , with very sick birds or theirs has just passed and they need people who understand.

It can become emotionally overloading. I feel for each and every one, it hurts to read these. And I feel inadequate in my ability to express sympathy. Sometimes I've had to take a few months when there has been so much death and sickness and accidents on the forums.

Then I feel some people just journal and talk about their bird and their threads. They never return the favor and join other people threads.


But overall, amazing people! Amazing support, stories, love, laughs, neat parrot journey stories, tips, ideas, creativity! ( so many artists), new ideas, behavior help, chop or burd bread recipes, cage, perch, enrichment talk, share our love and joy of all things and some off topics parrot @ never get enough parrot pictures @@ and parrot cute stories @
