I have been on Fubar for almost 11 years. I have many great friends from the site. Both online and in real life. Yes, i've come across some low lifes and people I choose not to associate with but I find those in my offline life as well. I choose to carry myself online just as I would face to face with the rest of the world.
It's a fun site if that is what you choose to make it. As for the losers, I love my block button. You just click it and BAM they don't exist :) That part is actually easier than in real life lol. The drama many of these posts are speaking of, I suspect created it for themselves. Yes, there are some things that may go misunderstood but for the most part the cry babies are usually the ones who instigated the issue, fed the fire and then ran for help when the flames got too hot saying someone else was to blame.
As for spending... it's a choice, no one says you HAVE to. The site itself is free. Feel free to roam around, interact with others, play the many arcade games or hang in lounges.
As for Scrapper, the most misunderstood man on the site. All I can say is someone needs to give the guy a little credit. Is he ALWAYS right? I will be the first to say probably not but that said, the man works hard to help keep the site a fun place for us to go an hang out. I've known him for years and I won't say he's perfect. But are you? Am I? If you give him a chance, he comes through. Respect him and he will return the favor. All he asks for is that you not be a douche when the first little thing goes wrong. Act like a human, you get treated like one. I don't think its asking too much, thats how it is in the real world too!
