Just like how even before Cassie was slightly dark and twisted not everyone would have watched it even if they knew it was canon.
Just my thoughts on that.

*a la Forrest Gump* That's all I have to say about that...

That would be awesome! I know I'd get plenty of love from you guys. Even Verty who for whatever reason is now gone. I think that's something I'm seriously lacking and needing right now is some good old fashioned affection. My new friends are slightly huggy people, but not like I'm used to. I'm used to randomly hugging, instead of just once when you go to leave and stuff like that. That's definitely something I miss about home. Having friends that can just look at you and know it's time to hug you or snuggle because you're having a bad day.

If that's true, than I'll stay, but I'm still rather angry at the creators right now.

Okay everone! Go to http://pervytown.proboards106.com/index.cgi!! It's not anywhere close to being done, but I opened up the party thread, so go register! And spread the word to our fellow pervies!

I'd never had very huggy friends until my junior or senior year of high school when I happened upon a few people who hugged for no reason whasoever. I was kind of phased first, because I'd never witnessed such sporadic physical contact. I adapted to them and loved how a simple hug could wipe away tears or attempt to mend a broken heart. But I don't see those friends anymore...so now I miss it.

Angry for WHAT? doing what they always intended? making this a larger and more diverse world where you can pick and choose which parts suit you. That really is myopic and unfair to them. As someone that makes videos.. I can tell ya..they ain't really making money on this deal at this point. I know I am in the hole about 1500 bucks making vids...maybe more..with my below 1% click rate on the ads at the end..I aint exactly setting the world on fire... even assuming they get a 20% click rate..thats what..600 bucks a video?
You ever take a look at J.Roses Myspace comments back and forth with her friends? She has a running joke with one of em that she is PIMPING out to earn Jess plane fare back home for the Christmas Holidays. They are living in L.A. for crimmney jickets! THEY ARE DEFINITELY broke.
SHAME on ALL of you..if it were NOT for them..you guys would never have met. You should be grateful for that..instead..you are biting the hand that put you together..and NOT supporting them. The SPINOFFS are the way they are going to TRY and keep this place and these boards around for a LOT longer than the main LG15 story. Now play nice..stick around...be thankful for what ya have(each other thanks to the Creators) and click their little ads on Revver and help em out.

Awww! I'll be your hugging friend! *hugs*
Yeah, I'm big on hugging and physical contact in general. I don't think that there's anything innately sexual or wierd about hugging or putting your head on someone's shoulder and the like. But then that could have been in part because of my friends. We regularly leaned against each other while we were watching movies, played with each other's hair (nothing like a good "petting" to soothe you after a bad day) and had no problems sleeping in beds together (guys and girls) partially just for the comfort of having someone nearby.
Man, that sounds super wierd and sexualized when I type it out but it wasn't.

I don't think I'll ever have those kind of friendships again. I think it's because they started when we were too young to think about sex in any way more than stupid jokes. So physical contact, whether between guys and girls or girls and girls, was never labelled as trying to do anything salacious. But now that we're grown every relationship has that undertone, and if you're a grown woman who's holding hands with another woman it's seen as a lesbian thing instead of just a companionship/friendship thing.

Hey hey hey, don't be generalizing to the whole thread. I have a feeling most of us will stick around, at least the ones who've been here a while and feel invested in not only the story but each other.

Its just a lot of change.. I fell like as a fan, I am now less of a fan for not having kept up with opaphid.. and it seems unfair to me since ive put so much time into enjoying this.. and now i have to catchup

HUGS to my girlies, i love you guys!

Exactly! Now, just because we don't follow OpAphid, we are lesser fans.

I feel as if I have put A LOT of time into doing this, I even gave up on some RL plans on those busy nights, full of clues and mysteries.

Either way, the videos are kinda winding down. I didn't wanna admit it before, but really now. How long can Bree and Daniel being on the run stay interesting?

No, I completely understand! I remember sitting with a row of girls in first grade and playing with one another's hair. (Aside: I love it when someone messes with my hair. ) The same in high school, although not so refined, we'd hug and have silly little touches (that were in no way to be perceived as sexual). But now, as you said, it's misconstrued as your sexual orientation!

I never had that close of a relationship with boys when I was younger. Sure, I had friends who were boys but we never were allowed to hang out in that way. I really feel I've missed so much from that deprivation. Also, my parents were uber-strict and never let me have or attend sleepovers when I was younger. I know that affected me greatly because, when I first moved out, I was terrified to live on my own. I was so sheltered that I couldn't place myself anywhere but under my parents' roof.
But now I took us off tangent...

I'd hold your hand in public and I wouldn't care who noticed!

*sigh*

i need you guys!
