3 alphas are gone. The fault is_____?

[Triss]

Now today I took the responsibility to write this take and to speak the truth .

I know I'm gonna be reported , I don't doubt this , I know this take is gonna be deleted by admins but if any admin sees this please don't remove this take . Everyone needs to read it .

I'm gonna be hated . I don't care at all. I wake up with haters , study with haters , and open my phone and find haters . That's because I speak the truth and very few like the truth .

Yesterday I woke up and the first thing I noticed was a question that Banana left. Was really surprised to be honest.

The reason was a blue anon who was stalking him and found his Facebook etc and posted banana's posts there. While GAG sits and watches the show!

Later that day I saw another question . In that question it was said that hulkksmash left the site.

And I was like "wut?😳" another one is gone??

It was only the beginning. Polocrew left and summer bunny left . Maybe others too but these are people I noticed that I knew them from a little bit closer.

They didn't say anything except of summer bunny . I was talking to her about these deactivations and when I got this message I couldn't believe it.

Now I'm going to say what I have to say!

GaG recently has become a popularity contest site!

And that's bcs of all of us. The fault some of the coolest people on gag deactivated belongs to all of us . Bcs gag has become a site of b****ing about "how do I look?" And posting a nude , Hilary - Donald , turkey and Turkish , vegan theories which suck!!! And "tag them" questions (including me)

Everyone is bitching about his own business and we all forgot that why we are here . The theory of gag is "girls and guys ask each other for awkward thing they can't ask in real life and be more open with each other"

But no ! We are seeing everyday people who come and go , masters , gurus , editors etc. Including my old account I've been here only for 3 months and the fact that I'm underage means that no one is gonna listen to me but I am sure that if we continue like this doing this popularity contest very soon gag apocalypse will be here and the only people who will survive are 1 xper and maximum 2 xper and some blue anon stalkers .

We are people . Behind every profile it's a person , a real person and sometimes we see each other like "things" and like I said gag apocalypse is near if we do this all over again.

That's what I had to say to all gag community.

Also if any of the guys who deactivated ever sees this I have some last words for them :

●Banana - you were the coolest and the most sarcastic person that gag ever had

●Hulkksmash - even tho you blocked me and I don't blame you after I found out the reason , I still respect you cause I learnt some new things at the time we were friends . Thanks

●Polocrew - thanks for helping me handle those creeps

●summer bunny - you were the cutest thing around . I am so sorry that you're gone too

[dangerDoge]

Alright, I have a few points to say with this:
1.) I've been frequenting GAG for over a year now. Popularity contests have been going on since I've been here. Same goes with HDIL, political posts, racist posts, propaganda, and trending news topics. Creeps have been messaging people for awhile now too. The thing is, I feel the site hasn't realistically changed a whole lot in its content. We're psyching ourselves out.
For tagging popularity contests in general, I find they tend to come in waves. For a couple weeks, there'll be a ton of them, then I won't see em for awhile. It's interesting how it works out like that.

2.) People come and go on the site. Yeah, some of them are more well known. Some of them are not. It only makes sense that as the site gets older, more people become gurus/masters/well known. Naturally, some are going to leave, and some will also be more well known.
When I first was on GAG, none of the people mentioned at the end were on. They came in after and were more well known. They got to higher levels. Heck, it took me a year to get to guru (granted, I'm a slow answerer). The point is... for people that leave, more will come. It balances out. For proof of that, I remember when the GAG "like" bar was 77,777. I took a screenshot of it for some odd reason lmao. (I can't find it though since it's so buried in my computer, but I did take one!)
Now it's 173,000 likes. More people are still coming to the site.

3.) I disagree with the whole "alpha" naming thing in general... but that's a whole 'nother can of worms to get into at another time lol.

4.) I think this take is a bit of fear mongering with words like "GAG apocalypse" lol. Yeah, 4 people left. And, depending on who you ask, they were liked people too. But it's not the end of GAG.

5.) On the whole, I believe my viewpoint can be summarized as: It's too bad these people left. It's too bad these people didn't leave their contact info with you and others. It's too bad that there are annoying people on the internet and in life in general. However, I think GAG hasn't changed much and we are all overreacting on this situation a tad.

[iFarted]

This clearly wasn't as bad as when missnowhere and I left :P

[Triss]

Yes I agree with all this
It's not the end of the world that they left ofc but the reason they left makes me wanna deactivate too
It's only 1 thing that keeps me on gag. If it wasn't I would deactivate yesterday too
I'm removing all my pics bcs I'm afraid of blackmailing

[Triss]

@iFarted lol I wasn't here when you had the old account but only the reason people left makes me think wtf is this. Why people do this

[dangerDoge]

@iFarted Haha I dunno, it's a tough call. There were quite a bit of questions for these 4. I think people over exaggerated all the drama for you two more though!

@ myTake owner : One thing that keeps you on GAG?

As far blackmailing goes, I figure that someone out there may know my name, they may even find my facebook. I mean, it wouldn't surprise me much. But, at the same time, I don't have any extreme personal info out there, and it's not enough to make me fear profusely for blackmail. It's not like I have any nudes floating out there either. Could people use my photos and say "this person is ______?" That may happen, but I guess that's just a risk I'm personally willing to take.

[Triss]

I don't have any extreme info either but I don't like anyone to find out about my account here that's why
And yes what keeps me here is 1 person

[YourFutureEx]

Agreed!

[mooky06]

Second @YourFutureEx 's "agreed" lol

[YourFutureEx]

@mooky06 we need someone to score a hat-trick :D

[mooky06]

@YourFutureEx lmfao im trying to count how many questions have popped up in rememberance to those who left... I lost count 😋

[YourFutureEx]

@mooky06 why did misscoffeehead deactivate? ;_;

[mooky06]

@YourFutureEx Impulse move and emotions helped her apparently

[BuchitaBuchys]

Ummm, one of the silliest things is people having "haters", very few people truly hate each other, and it sounds like narcissism when people declare they have them lol

These dudes will probably be back. People come and go, or they return, or are replaced. I've been here for like 2yrs now and it's always a silly popularity contest. "Which gagger can you brown nose the deepest?" There are always trolls, granted these were more "attractive (by conventional standards)" trolls.

[Triss]

Lol when someone says "I hate you " directly then...

[BuchitaBuchys]

They rarely mean it, I think that love and hate are thrown around too easily and quickly. Very few people genuinely feel it but still say it, not every negative intense emotion is hate, and not every positive intense emotion is love.

Anyways, they might return lol Gag tends to be a revolving door

[Triss]

Hahaha yes agreed

[Thisperson98]

I miss banana, he was very good at debating.

[Triss]

Lool

[YourFutureEx]

"GaG recently has become a popularity contest site!"
Not recently lol.

This was... the third account of banana I guess? He'll probably come back. Stalkers are a real problem. My stalker PMed me to ask my address in order to kill me. But I humiliated him. Then he had no choice left but to ask "rate me" questions by writing "I'm pig ass" on my picture. He used to hate Indians of this site. But we guys kept patience and tackled him. He's still here but he doesn't target us anymore. The problem with banana was that he couldn't hide his other social accounts. There are some serious information cyber-bullies can use. I'm kinda glad that he left because now, he'd live his life without cyber-bullies and focus better on his career and body.

Hulkksmash had his own issue. He tried too hard to be a dick, he was just pretending. Deep down, he was a nice guy, but everyone was kinda hostile towards him. He didn't like banana but he respected him. They had some arguments on bb. com (I guess). Deactivation by banana led to his deactivation. He's still lurking around tho.

Polo was too chill lol. Really, after reading such kind of posts, he might be thinking "you nerds should get laid". Yeah those Turkey, hdil, political questions were irritating but this site was always like this.

They all are busy people, building body, banging chicks and taking care about their career. That's why they're called "alpha". People should learn from them and their actions. There are a lot of other alphas on this site, but they are not show off.

[Triss]

I'm surprised you know the real hulk
Yea he was a nice guy deep inside I was lucky to see the nice hulk.
And for that guy who hated Indians. Who is he?

[YourFutureEx]

Even tho hulk hates Indians here, I respected him. I knew that he's not talking about every single Indian user of this site :P I liked his self confidence.

I cannot tell you. He has had more than 70 accounts. (He was banned that many times). Just try to avoid him. These days, he is targeting random users. If I saw him around you, I'll tell you.

[Triss]

I wish I knew who he is

[Triss]

And thanks 😊

[YourFutureEx]

Just don't lol. Check out some of his accounts. He hates me with passion.
https://www.girlsaskguys.com/user/yourfutureex_real
https://www.girlsaskguys.com/user/yourfutureass

[Triss]

Lmao this is so weird I swear
I am afraid now
Just srs if you see him around shoot me a message

[YourFutureEx]

Haha sure thing. He's insane.

[Jan1ssary_]

Eyo who is that mother fucker? :D Write his name or send me a message, he doesn't know who is the real maniac.

[Triss]

@Jan1ssary_ lmao he has had more than 70 accounts

[YourFutureEx]

@Jan1ssary_ yes. He had more than 70 accounts. How do I tell you lol?

by the way one hint is that he asks questions about if girls like their ass squeezed/slapped while kissing. And questions about the appearance of Hritik Roshan & Siddharth Malhotra (Bollywood actors).

Those two are his fetish.

[Jan1ssary_]

@YourFutureEx Lol.. yeah I got you these kind of people make me mad as f*ck all the time, I already had few fights with people I met from internet. I just bought ticket for their country and visited them, noone can blackmail me or talk shit to me lets wait for him to tease me then :D

[YourFutureEx]

@Jan1ssary_ if I found him again, I'll call you :D

[YourFutureEx]

I found him xD
https://www.girlsaskguys.com/user/vhbjn
He's obsessed with Zayn Malik too 😂

[Jan1ssary_]

Lol that foo' ? How do u know this?

[Triss]

I saw him😱😱😱😱😱
And I think I blocked him bcs he was such an asshole

[YourFutureEx]

@Jan1ssary_ I spent much time with him.
Triss - See?

[Triss]

Lmao thanks for telling ❤

[AleDeEurope]

I've been here for 2 years and it's always been the same. Popularity contests have always been around, though to be honest, I feel there was more sense of community before, and to tell you the truth, it was before these "alpha" (fuck's that anyways? -_-) came by.
I don't have anything against them, and I know they were just trolling, but GAG is filled with people with little to no personality, so they will follow anyone that stands out as confident, that's why you saw lots of guys starting to talk like the "alphas" and many girls kissing their asses.

I'm not gonna miss them, never had any friendship with them, but at the same time, I'm not cheering cause they're gone, I simply don't care. But I do not believe it's "our fault" that they left, especially since all the reasons you listed were already happening before they even got here.

[Triss]

I forgot to ad that idc if they're gone. OK summerbunny was my friend but online friend afterall
The reason they left makes me worry more

[Jan1ssary_]

Well I am just here to chill, I am not thinking about leaving yet if I do it will be cause of my profession. I don't really care who is leaving or not lol, I am here for myself and I don't know why its a very big deal for some people when they see someone is leaving just let them leave if they want to jeez.

About these Turkey questions, yeah I also dislike these fools they are stupid no lifer people who are curious and making me mad. I am surprised to see these questions so many times on here because I know most of Turkish people really don't give a f*ck what other people thinks about our country and nation ( like I do ) they are some stupid new generation kiddos asking these questions on here. There are so many Turkish on here because this site was originally Turkish site so people who found English version of the site wants to try it too bad they mess it up.

[Triss]

Keep it up
You're my only turk exception friend here

[Emre49]

@Triss
I'm in too.

[genuinlysensitive]

As I actually read your take I began to agree with much of it. There are way too many political, and "how do I look" questions on here. Not to mention the trolls. But as for the people you mentioned, at least two were not keeping with the spirit of the site either, some of the biggest douche bags I have ever seen on this site.

[Triss]

Lol deep inside 3 of them were nice guys
The majority of people just didn't understand their sarcasm
That's all

[genuinlysensitive]

Sometimes they weren't sarcastic, they were just douche bags. Maybe they should have let the nice guy show more often.

[archiz]

lol I love some youth anger and revolt haha
bring it!
anw since I joined honestly, gag has been like that and I ve been here for awhile.
now it s becoming a gossip site too and that s disgusting. I hate that.
It s too weak, stop talking about people when they re gone especially in a bad way.

[Triss]

Lol at the first line😂😂

[Octavius]

I really liked this site when I first started back in spring of 2015. Some of this stuff was still around but there were actually a lot of really cool people. Most deactivated because they were being harassed constantly. There's still a couple of nice people here but they aren't super active and I'm not very active much anymore. I'm literally only staying until I get my next 7k xper at 28k total and use the amazon card. I probably won't deactivate but I'm definitely done once I get there. I used to just sift through the really pointless annoying questions to get to genuine ones but now I just never see the genuine ones anymore.

[Luci92]

:( Hopefully they'll be back, otherwise who else will the pink anons have to crush on and blue anons have to hate on?
I haven't even been here for that long and I've seen a few kickass people deactivate. Still sad, but I'm starting to get used to it. I do regret not making kik though, because then I could have stayed in contact with some of them.

[Triss]

Yea at least with Polo
But if you want to I can give you summer bunny's kik. I think she doesn't mind and she has Polo in kik

[ThisDudeHere]

Summer bunnny left? She was actually cool. As for the so called "alphas" - I can't say I'll actually miss them. I mean, someone stalked them and doxxed them? Well what could they expect from the way they acted - being arrogant and douchey.

[Triss]

Yes summer bunny left last night
And yes that's what I was saying "alphas"
No one rules here no alpha no beta no Gama
I'm just afraid of blackmailing

[CisScum]

The thing is some of these people were labeled as "alpha's" and that in itself is stupid. But I must add someone ddosing him is such a bitch move and childish. Also Hulk was arrogant and self absorbed. He barely helped anyone and made most questions about himself so good riddance. Bunny seemed like a nice person so I don't know why she would've left. Don't know Polocrew really. But the point is honestly why does everyone care so much? People leave all the time for different reasons. Also the internet is full of losers so it really shouldn't surprise you.

[Triss]

The only thing I wish is that someone doesn't blackmail me

[CisScum]

It's also the fact that in any forum or page that's popular there will always be weird people who make everything a popularity contest so it isn't a surprise it's happening here. It's best to just ignore those people.

[CisScum]

Well I mean anywhere you go there's always the chance of that happening but honestly people are such assholes on the internet but pussies in real life. I wouldn't pay too much attention to the people black mailing you.

[Triss]

Agreed but you know I don't like if people in my real life find out about this account here

[CisScum]

Well ya hopefully you don't get ddos'd because honestly ddosing is not hard these days, a 12 year old can pull it off. I would just block them and usually they will leave you alone if you don't aggravate them. It's a sad world we live in when you can just get peoples info and send it out there. I wouldn't wish that on anyone really. No one I know anyways.

[Triss]

Agreed
They don't have better things to do

[CisScum]

Most likely, they are pretty sad people. Just don't give them any attention because these people look forward to your responses and how you react. If you don't give them any attention then it's just boring for them. Best of luck though!

[Triss]

Thank you so much 😊

[NobodyKnowsAnything]

I think that you are right in that people are missing the point of this site. I got on here because of recommendation from a friend and because of a wish to help other people with the exclusivity of not knowing them and them not knowing me. But sometimes I get bogged down having to sift through all the hatred and the spite. It's sad they have gone and that I didn't get the chance to meet them on here. They sound like good people.

[enis_Penvy]

Much ado about nothing. People come and go every day on this site. I met and enjoyed talking to lady on here @OleMissMiss who deactivated because someone was stalking her due to a few myTakes she created, and a few mods treated her like shit. What can you do when that happens? It is what it is - play the game or move on.

[Saoirse_Nua]

Good take - I know of the guys and had a little interaction with them where I found they were okay but there seems to be a whole level of drama going on that I am missing - The way I look at all groups on GaG is there may be some you don't get on with if so just avoid them, engaging with them just makes it worse for everybody - Everybody is here to have fun at the end of the day so lets just enjoy ourselves.

[Josht13]

Acting like an alpha on the internet is pretty weak.

[Triss]

I'm sure they're more alpha in real life

[yucel_eden]

You care a little too much about things on here to be honest.

I'm sad that summer bunny is gone. She was a really nice person.

But yeah just accept things the way they are. It's not like we can change the world.

[Triss]

Lol people I forgot to write that the only thing I really care is someone can blackmail me

[yucel_eden]

Oh and you Know the the hulk wanna be soft guy is back with a different username.

They all come back lol

[Triss]

Really? Which is his username?

[yucel_eden]

No idea. Somebody else told me

[Triss]

Oh ok

[yucel_eden]

To be honest I'm lately thinking of leaving too.

The content on here is either about turkey, why do I not have a girlfriend, why am I ugly or who did 9/11.

It's getting far too repetitive

[Triss]

Then everyone is leaving? I'm not gonna spent other months to know other people. Don't leave !😕😔

[yucel_eden]

Haha Ok I'm not leaving :)

[Triss]

Good 😊😇

[martyfellow]

Why did Bunny say she was deactivating? Just curious. You know people just get busy and don't want to spend the time on this addictive site.

[Triss]

I have no idea
We were discussing the Polocrew's deactivation and then it was too late here , I left my phone and when I came back in the morning I saw her message
No other explanation

[martyfellow]

One drawback of Gag is that there is no way to contact someone after they deactivate, to ask them for a contact to stay in touch, or just to ask them why they left Gag.

[martyfellow]

Also surprised that this hasn't been deleted by admins!

[Triss]

My take
It came a message in my inbox saying
The my take was promoted
And gag system sent me a message saying "thanks for contributing. After all gag is about free opinion"

[martyfellow]

I think at least people should be prompted by software to leave a farewell message when they deactivate, and should be given the option to leave contact info for those who would like to stay in touch.

[martyfellow]

Maybe the contact info would only go to those they follow?

[martyfellow]

I'm glad they are not censoring you. This is indeed a change from a strict earlier policy against any posts that mention individual members at all!

[Triss]

So this means I risked a deactivation?

[Triss]

Didn't know that 😱

[martyfellow]

No they wouldn't cancel your account for a first time infraction, just warn you, but they used to pretty much immediately delete this kind of post. Now, they say Gag is about free speech, that's something you didn't hear from the admins a couple of years ago

[Toad-1]

I've been on this site since late 2008. I've seen sooooooo many great people leave. Another few people doesn't phase me. I got used to it. Popularity contests have always been a part of this site, just the way it goes here. New people will come in and take their place too.

[skaikrasha]

"GaG recently has become a popularity contest site"

Recently? It has always been a popularity contest site, that's nothing new really.

[Phoenix98]

I honestly don't care lol I suspect they'll be back later, most people who leave eventually come back, I've seen gager's leave 2 and even 3 times and they're still here.

[FatherJack]

You are switched on , especially for a 16 year old , just like real life , you will find other people you click with on here. I did have a laugh with some of the crew you mentioned , FB , being ex military like myself , spoke the same no nonsense language. Life is not a popularity contest anyway !!
