I mean, I agree that there should be more younger users and that they should join in on the tunnel painting, but until that happens, WE are the user base and we have to do what we have to do to keep this place going.

I highly doubt the "new school" thread would ever get used

This website has brought a lot of people together...people that probably would not have met w/o this site. People want to share the experiences this website has given them w/ others.


I have been to every tunnel painting since the first one and not only is it a great way to see people that you might not get to see all the time but its also a great way to spread the word about TWW.

We need to get new users on this site but how are we going to do that w/o advertising? Sitting on our asses on our computers isn't going to get the word out to the masses.

8/15/2011 3:15:28 PM

honestly, a new user forum isn't a bad idea. only users <1000 posts or something. i know people will make aliases but it will help with general assholishness.

8/15/2011 3:15:37 PM

^^ if you read what I wrote, I didn't say painting doesn't bring people together or isn't fun.
Just more emphasis for the site should be on retaining people and the new ones not just how to get people to come in the 1st place.

8/15/2011 3:25:04 PM

how do you put emphasis on new people staying with hardly any emphasis on recruiting said new people?

8/15/2011 3:26:56 PM

:: wow. don't enter a convo unless you were there from the start.

8/15/2011 3:27:59 PM

I read from the start, and I don't get what the fuck you're saying


probably because it doesn't make sense

8/15/2011 3:28:22 PM

Does anything she says make sense?

wow samwise has her panties in her bunch today. see pt again prove. with attitudes like that its no wonder we don't get new people.

8/15/2011 3:29:58 PM

I'm actually having a great day

Not understanding your nonsensical argument =/= having a bad day

[Edited on August 15, 2011 at 3:31 PM. Reason : you're actually bringing the lol's]

8/15/2011 3:30:53 PM

so you're saying forget how to get new people, put all focus on making it a fun place so the non-existent new people will stay?

8/15/2011 3:31:24 PM

No you assume things a lot. my day has been very great, blessed and productive so far. Thanks for caring though!

more positive attitudes = better tww

8/15/2011 3:32:49 PM

Da fuck? No one said you were having a bad day.



Wow.

There is nothing wrong with alumni getting together to do things that involve their old school. I think of it kind of like the alumni tailgate next to the RBC Center at the football games. It is an event for alumni to gather at and socialize with each other. That's not creepy.

Exactly! TWW saved my rec soccer career. I was lucky to get on a new Men's Open C team being formed by TASL in the spring of 2010. I had seen some people post on here that they played in that league, so I started a season thread. My team needed more players and I had the duty of being team captain dumped on me, so I recruited elduderino since he was looking for a team. I had a blast playing with him and against God, kiljadn, Jkumar923, and d7freestyler. Too bad we lost both times.

Then the fall 2010 season came along and only 3 of us wanted to return to my team, so I managed to sign a few players from the player pool, but still needed more, so I signed God, statered, ToastyMuffin, aaronian, and harmemou. That put the roster at 18. TASL requires a minimum of 14 players on roster. Life without tww would have resulted in my team folding.

Then after the fall 2010 season I had a bunch of guys quit because of work, school, etc. aaronian returned, but I also signed soc33com, markgoal, and amac884. They were guys I met on tww. They were some of the best players on the team. Thanks to them we improved our record from the season before.

Now this season aaronian and me are the only twwers on my team, but we will get to play against Jkumar923, and d7freestyler like always. Hopefully we win since our roster is looking nice and their's is short last I heard.

I also met Joie and JTMONEYNCSU at one of the games while I sat there watching Cody's team play.

Then there is the coed team that JTMONEYNCSU and kiljadn run which has also had multiple twwers on it in the past.

Opstand and me also attend the same pickup game on the same day sometimes. We have a good time doing that too.

Thanks to tww, a lot of people get to enjoy playing league soccer and the only way you get to do that is if you have a friend on the team, or make connections with a team captain.

new users won't come to this site if they keep getting flamed.

i understand you older posters with 30k+ posts like to be elitist since this is your only social outlet, but sometimes its better to suppress the hate till they are welcomed warmly.

TWW has this new feature thanks to qntmfred. there's a feature called "private messages". It works just like electronic-mail! Imagine being able to use this feature when you dont want people entering your conversation! THINK OF THE POSIBILITIES!

this means you can spit e-game with out others noticing

all hail qntmfred

TWW was hardly ever welcoming. New people have to pay their dues. And the fact of the matter is college students have no experiences and don't know shit, so it's not the worst thing in the world for them to get smacked down.

8/15/2011 11:52:18 PM

What kind of noms should I make?

8/16/2011 1:07:45 PM

mmmm cookies

8/16/2011 1:09:08 PM

Well, yeah, but what kind of cookies?
Do I need to make a separate pttyndal bag of cookies?

8/16/2011 1:10:38 PM

*cyanide cookies

8/16/2011 1:11:24 PM

i'm in, bitches. yall better let me paint!

8/16/2011 1:34:44 PM

I like oatmeal cranberry cookies.

what the fuck?

see the thing is, back in those days you had other things that would retain users like functionality and such, now other tools, boards, and websites take over the features that are not functional anymore so we get kind of exposed as a site full of angst ridden d-bags, theres no reason to really hang around

This thread went from excitement to stupidity in a short period of time

Let's get back to the business of tunnel paintings.

I'm thinking of brining stencils to the painting this year.

8/16/2011 1:46:35 PM

who is bringing the glitter?

8/16/2011 1:47:19 PM

it got to stupidity when yall jumped down golden girls throat for no reason

yall aint gonna do that shit to me, because yall weak and you prey on the weak

just sayin, its exactly what we both are pointing out

anyway, yea back to tunnel painting, cant wait!

i gotta lol at the college students "have no experience" bit, give me a break.

[Edited on August 16, 2011 at 1:51 PM. Reason : d]

8/16/2011 1:50:35 PM

so does that mean you are bringing the glitter?

8/16/2011 1:52:02 PM

what grade of glitter would you prefer?

8/16/2011 1:55:50 PM

An assortment would be fine, but if you can only get one I say go for giant confetti sized

8/16/2011 1:57:31 PM

i was actually going to ask you the point at which glitter becomes confetti
