You must be wondering, shouldn't this review be written by me on my 100th review? Ah well, I also thought it was suppose to. I think this review has to be written before I pop the big news. In a way it's really good news but in another way it's really bad news. I have to be brutally honest. I don't think this review will come to any use to you though, You MSians read such reviews all the time and are probably fed up. Which is what I fear of.
.::What I Used To Think::.
When I first started on MS, I had just thought it was one of those typical and boring sites. A good friend of mine had showed me this website while I was dying of boredom and he suggested i'd check out this site because he probably had no other option. Then, the words that had came out of my mouth were "I'm Confused..." and I was too. I didnt know anything about the site and I didnt really have any intentions of even being part of the site. However, the time where he forced me to join the site and write my first review, that day I don't think i'll be able to forget.
After my first review, the reviews just kept popping out. One after the other. Sometimes three reviews in one whole day! I was going totally mental ( I already am actually), even my parents couldn't stop me from writing reviews or even RRCing other peoples reviews. I was hooked for sure. People had started to appreciate my review more because they became even more descriptive and people had responsed me in such a way that it motivated me to write even more. And I have never really been actually addicted to a website before. This was the first experience and an experience that had always been with me whilst I was writing on this site. I made some kewl friends and I made some really good ememies as well. Not saying any names here. But it actually taught me the meaning of trust. After being a little embaressed and maybe also insulted for being a new comer on the site for some of the folks around whose minds where kind of currupted. I'm not saying any names again.
Actually I pretty much got the hang of getting negative ratings, comments and M2M's. I thought the best solution to never be pointed at after that was to ignore. However, I did get a little tempted to reply to a few people, it really did get on my nerves sometimes and my fingers did itch to type up some replies to those who insulted :D
One thing I don't really get, is that when I had arrived and had just got to know the different members, the kewl and big members, they stopped writing. Which was quite heart breaking. I didn't really feel too good about those members, whose reviews just totally rock, would leave and interact with a lot. They made Mouthshut the fun place for me as well, they became a part of my life actually because when I had first met them, I actually got this feeling that I can trust them. I really miss them though...and i'll cherish those memories when I used to interact with them. Darn, I just wish I had a time machine.
.::Memorable Moments::.
Heh, a moment which was really memorable was when I had just went on to MS and I saw my book review on the Da Vinci Code on the Review of the Day section. I was touched and getting a little congrat's from a few people was quite nice. I felt great to be honest.
Actually, this one has happened only once. I felt like fainting but I didn't really think it was that much of a deal. Another kewl moment of mine was when I was in the Hall Of Fame. I didn't even know I was in the hall of fame when a MS member had actually sent me an M2M saying that I was though. It rocked.
This has happened many times, i'm not bragging about it either. When I was part of the Most Funniest ID's and 5 Best Reviewers On Mouthshut. It made me feel noticed on this site and I was more encouraged.
My 50th review. Ah well, it wasn't that bad. I felt quite ummm..old :P But it was really nice when everyone congratulated me :)
.::Bad Moments::.
Well in general, people used to call me names and would insult me. I usually felt like leaving this site and never coming back because it just made me feel low and depressed. However, as I mentioned before, the ignoring works.
Being distrusted by the member "cadbury". I don't really know why he/she has distrusted me. Maybe because I gave her a negative rating for her latest review. It doesnt feel good.
To sum it all up, Mouthshut is practically the place where I have learnt how people can get at times. I have met some friends who I really like interacting with. I don't really have much friends who I interact with in person but these friends that I have made, have taught me lessons and I just like them for who they are.
This is my last review for a while. I would come back soon to write more reviews but I will have to take a long break. "Why?" you ask? WELL, I'll be off to boarding school by the middle of July and studying would have to be my first priority over there. It really bothers me, though. I may not be able to write reviews on MS but I will be RRCing reviews, maybe not too frequently though. I hope I would get a chance to write another review but this is my last review for a while.
