Would you share some of your favorite Fluther memories?

1 Answer

Answer :

Ah! A shift from the recent heat. I don’t know if you were around at that time, but there was one April Fool day in 2014 when Pi and the mod team decided to make a goofy category called “Jelly”. It was supposed to be a category where questions had to be as bizzare, horribly written, unbelievable as possible. Everyone had a lot of fun unleashing their inner demons for the whole world to see. And as you have already guessed, the category only stayed for one day and was taken down with all the crazy question, so no proof for it sorry :( I wish there was something similar to it though, where everyone just chill out and laugh with each other. The day the chat notification was made visible was full of fun too. Everyday the chatroom had at least 2 people. At first I was one of the people who disagreed with the chatroom’s resurrection, but it soon turned out that I was one of the most active people there. A lot of things happened there, things that made you laugh or cry, philosophical discussions, a new Fluther entity… Sadly it was another great thing Fluther failed to preserved. I had some good memory with some jellies too, especially my dear friend Adi. And I’m still having good memory with my current friends too. That is to say, Fluther means a lot to me. There is argument now and again, but overall this site is still a great place. To this day it is still a special place on the internet to me. It all boils down to how we can avoid being too emotionally invested to an argument, look at the bigger picture and decide for ourselves whether to let go of the anger and move on.
