Wow.

I had a run in with some girls that had some very negative things to say about my daughter… They brought the battle to my blog. It all started because I had pictures of my daughter with the very famous Nick Jonas from The Jonas Brothers on my site. They were jealous and it got really ugly.

I’m curious about the SU traffic. I used to get a lot of traffic. I’ve submitted a few of my posts on a few of my many blogs. The last time I did it, I didn’t get any traffic? I’m going to stumble this post. Could you let me if you got any traffic from it. I’m wondering what’s going on….

Thanks.

Hey There. I actually created cybercreeps.com. When I first created it I was just thinking about how I could make money of course. I didn’t think about the backlash from the creeps themselves.

Until I put up CyberCreeps I didn’t even know that people like this existed, and it’s absolutely crazy. I’m sorry that using the site brought you enemies, it brought me A LOT of enemies and I had to take the site down.

I’m actually looking for something to do with the domain, any suggestions?

Submitting your own blog posts does not work anyways after 3 or more times at SU. You shouldn’t submit your own stuff on SU btw. at all. SU is social discovery, not self “discovery”. I get submitted by other stumblers and it works fine.
Btw. it does not make sense to argue with these negative people. they are frustrated. They seek to find scape goats. They don’t want to argue, they just want to hate. In Germany we don’t argue with Nazis either, we shun them. Acknowledge them and give them a voice and they turn even more people to Nazis.

I used to be short-tempered some years ago, but 6 years and running 15 forums taught me to be quiet and just mind my own business. Anything negative will bring in more negative stuff and instead of trying to right the wrong and prove others they are wrong, I just go on my way and work on my sites. I got attacked out of the blue and this still happens. I just count to ten and then try to ignore. Any attack that doesn’t get a response will “die” out, any reply from my site would make it a war. Some battles are not worth winning

I can’t say I’ve made any enemies yet, but I’ll definitely have to watch out! I was on the verge of a pretty nasty argument once before.

I find it mostly on Reddit. Some people there are insane. They find out you submitted your own stuff and they treat you like you committed Reddit genocide. I know they just go line by line on new submissions and press the arrow-down button.

That’s pretty funny, not going to lie. I never knew that making enemies online could be reflected in something as drastic as that!
