I'd support such a "merger." This place needs more activity, after all, and newcomers are always welcome! I think that they might find this place a little more welcoming than Fig, as I think this site has a better atmosphere.
We do have to consider our host's mental stability. Since Savage is not in the best mental state as of late, I think that they should only come over if they are willing to be polite, respectful, and follow the rules.
Would these people be willing to partake in intellectual discussions?

Unfortunately, my post probably won't be very long or deeply philosophical or stuffs, but I will throw in my viewpoint anyway.
I don't think that life has any "meaning." We exist because we do. The universe was just fine before we were around, it is still fine while we are around, and it will be perfectly okay after we all have turned to cosmic dust.
With that said, I do my best to avoid being a negative influence on people and on society. So there's that.

For spopo: knowledge and depression. Don't those two automatically come paired together?
For DarkDragon10: I'd rather starve myself. Not only would it be an interesting challenge, but I would like to believe that I would never kill someone else solely for my personal gain.
Would you rather be kind and lonely or popular and a jerk?

From what I understand, "o' clock" can be used with either time system, but "Hundred hours" is for military time, which uses the 24-hour system, but not all 24-hour systems are military time. (Run-on sentence?) Kind of like the square-rectangle relationship, or something.
Hello, Lazulus, nice seeing you here! I noticed that your userpage is sadly bereft of comments, so I'm leaving this here to make the page more cheery! Or something.
Cheery? CHEERY?!?! Don't you realise that you're on (a website that only vaguely has to do with) FIGHUNTER, where nothing is cheery and anything anyone says or does must either be deadly serious or make everyone feel bad about something?! I'll have you reported to the internet police for this!
Except that this isn't Fighunter, so I don't actually have to do that. Thanks for the comment! :)

I agree. Not to mention, ads would help generate revenue for Savage. After all, running a site costs money.
(I agree that there should be a forum games section.)
I'd rather have a dodgy reputation in a utopian society. Not only is an Orwellian society unpleasant for everybody, but I can still have the potential for a positive life in a utopian society.
Would you rather watch all of the Twilight movies or watch the Star Wars Holiday Special?

[Trigger Warning: Suicide]
I recently was browsing through the comments on an art piece on DeviantART.com, and reading the comments reminded me of how diverse people's opinions on suicide are. Suicide has the potential to be a controversial topic in discussions, since there are so many different opinions on the subject of suicide. For example, many people consider suicide a cowardly act, shameful and disgraceful for the individual who is selfishly choosing to end their own life. From what I have observed and read, mainstream "society" seems to agree with this opinion. On the other hand, in what seems to be the minority, some people are sympathetic to those who are suicidal, offering help and comfort in an attempt to guide the person away from suicide; meanwhile, others respect suicide and a person's individual choice. Coming full circle, some people condemn suicide and those who choose that path as foolish, whereas others simply admit that they do not understand the motivations behind suicide.
The arguments many people use to persuade a person out of suicide are just as plentiful as the opinions on the topic of suicide. Some people harshly say, "Get over it," or try to guilt the person into not committing suicide. Others argue that the person has "their full life ahead of them" and that committing suicide is a permanent solution to a short-term problem. As mentioned previously, some people offer support and friendship to those considering suicide, preferring sympathy and comfort as methods to dissuade someone from killing themselves. The arguments themselves vary in the degree of complexity and empathy, some consisting of nothing more than attempts to frighten the recipient away from committing suicide, while others are appeals from the heart, and others are full-blown essays attempting to "logically" persuade someone to continue living.
I suppose by now you are wondering, "What is the point of this post?" After that essay-like introduction, I would like to ask a few simple questions: What is your opinion on suicide? What emotions do you feel when you learn that someone is considering suicide? Do you attempt to dissuade people from suicide, and if so, what arguments and reasoning do you use? Finally, how do your personal experiences influence your opinion of suicide and how you approach the topic?
You may have noticed that there is not a poll accompanying this thread. Rather than offer a simple click-and-leave option, I would like for this thread to encourage thought, perhaps spark a discussion, or at least a conversation. Please keep this thread civil--disruptive fights and vitriolic speech are unwelcome. Empathy, or at least an attempt at empathy, is encouraged when replying to a user's post. And please do not feel pressured to talk about something that you yourself do not wish to discuss.
I hope that this post is able to rouse some activity and a discussion (and possibly create a break from all of the drama), but I won't be surprised if it falls flat on its face like my last few thread attempts. I plan to post this thread in at least two other places, so I will probably edit in links to those discussions once I post those threads.
And...that's about it. It would appear that I am incapable of thinking of a good concluding sentence. Which is a shame, since this post started off so well...

In the chat room, messages that are too long blur with the time stamp, making the end of the line unreadable.
...Does that make sense?

I'd like to say that whatever/whoever you end up identifying as, I'll support you fully.
Sorry I don't have much more to say...I just can't seem to think tonight, or something.
Also, may I refer you to jewelfox.dreamwidth.org? Jewelfox is also an otherkin. She writes about various things, many of them interesting, some of them a bit morbid, but she has a very good blog. You might find it interesting, I hope.
