I was looking at my profile yesterday and realized that my 3rd year anniversary in this little cess pool had passed.
Now before I start, everyone get your -2nami's ready. This is a nostalgic post.
Anyway, I remember how I got hooked onto the site. As many of us have, I was at work and bored. And when you google the phrase "Bored at Work" you go to.... well we all know.
That shit almost got me fired. I stopped working and would comb through the B@W trying to keep myself from laughing uncontrollably.
It didn't work too much.
When I signed up I thought, like most, that I could make a big splash and be one of the very few who ride a wave of +2's on their first post.
One word.
Fail.
That pissed me off to a degree. You see the issue is that in polite society whenever you submit a piece of writing to one of your unfortunate contemporaries they are obligated to call it a beacon of excellence in a sea of filth. They will take the most obscure point, such as "Your font is very nice" to try and compliment it.
Well holy shit does Uber not work that way.
To people who have joined recently, it is not now exactly how it was back then. Or maybe my view has changed over the years, but I tend to think that isn't the case.
Ubersite was a grinding stone, something that I was jammed against and forced to sharpen up or crack. I fumbled and fucked around trying to get shit in gear, and when I did it felt great.
I remember my first post that made any sort of "good" rating. First a 1.3, then a 1.4, then a 1.5, then a 1.95 the last being a comedic post. I realized that, when I type with the sheer lunacy that I live with from day to day, people apparently got a kick out of it.
I then entered the most prolific portion of my writing career to date.
I started writing CONSTANTLY. Any splinter of an idea would get tossed around, fleshed out, and slapped onto the "Submit" screen. I was a machine just churning out writing. I would look forward to work where I could submit my stuff. It took a while before I gathered up the courage to start posting serious stuff again, but by the point that I did, I had been honed to an Uber-user.
That was when that little number under your user name became very important.
Many of us, whether we admit it or not, at some point find the ratings important. Anyone who has ever "retaliate rated" cares. Anywho who has argued with a negative rater, cares. It happens, no one has to say they've done it, but I know it's true.
And that fucking number... god damn it. I looked at my original posts as anchors dragging down my average rating, and I tried so desperately to drag it up. I think it produced good things, but with bad consequences. There is no reason why a website should be important to you really. And I would like to think that it really isn't, the importance was the people who were here.
Off the top of my head:
----------------------
SG the Platypus Master
GodLovesALittleLovin
Orgasmatron
Scourge
Forthewin
Axolotl
Mike00295
Stagger_Lee
Captain Thorns
ETS
ahumblefool
Caulaincourt
Tiger Lilly
MistressFist
Johnny X
Now I didn't particularly love all of these people, but they were always important and normally always there (some more than others).
I like to think that the ratings, and the website itself, mattered because of these people. It was a reason enough to hold Uberfests where we all met and keep a camwhore directory of everyone.
Then, for reasons beyond my control, I left Uber for quite a while and at a particularly painful part of my life. I felt like all that time I had spent on here had been wasted.
When I came back, the site seemed... strange. Like an echo of its former self. People had long talked about "Bringing Uber back" for a while (A big point of Razor's) but I began to see it too. I figured I could help by trying to produce "quality" (whatever that is) hoping life had settled down enough to stick around and help "revitalize" the site.
Well, wrong again. I disappeared back into the real world and very little writing ensued. I would try and post stuff whenever I could or felt it prudent. It was around this time I started submitting my writing to other places and focused on that with what little creativity I could muster.
Life is now... calmer. And by calmer I mean it is simpler. And I come here, to visit an old friend of mine and try to help her out and maybe see some of my old friends. I am happy to see Licious here still, and I know scourge and Captain Thorns look from time to time. But it is a greatly changed place.
Where does all this musing go? No where in particular. Ubersite is important because it represents one of my favorite parts of my writing career.
I would love to see the people on the list I wrought above come back, but I don't expect it. I come here, to this serious writers forum for one simple reason....
FUCKING PUT ME ON B@W BART YOU STUPID ASSHOLE!

Listen, I'm not going to lie to you; I just want to make an Uber list. A good list, not a '10 Uberers I wish would die' list. Those lists are alway predictable- 5 Bret Alters, 4 Simon Alters, and Jack_McCallum.
I want to be on a list like '10 Uberers who's dicks are bigger than you think', or '5 Uberers most likely to take over the world'. Also, a shout out in a TTOM post, a 'You're so fucking cool, man +2' from Method, a 'I want your 3 inch cock inside me' from ANY Uberbroad, and a dedication post from Icarus.
Some may ask; 'What about a +2 from Shlongy, or a private info fued with Bret?'. To which I answer: I already got those. They're both pretty fucking cool.

I already got a +2 from Schlongy, which is kinda cool, I guess, but I've not had a genuine feud with anyone here that I can recall.
There was some friction when I first came here, as was mentioned in this post, that I don't really see quite so much of anymore, but never a feud. I guess it's just not my thing to fight with people on the internet.

I've been to rock bottom. When I spent time in rehab, I used to look at my B@W post over and over again. I'd look at the hits and whistle softly. 'Twenty fucking thousand hits', I'd say to the nurse. 'Do you know how many more that is than a regular post?'
I'd scroll to the bottom and read those very first reviews, those innocent and naive comments, and smirk. 'Those fools didn't know what this post would become', I twitched my eyebrows. 'Well, LOOK AT ME NOW!!!'
Then the nurses would come in and pin me down and turn off the computer and stuff their fingers into my ass and wank me off onto their wipe-clean aprons while I screamed 'minus two die! MINUS TWO DIE!!!'
Then I'd ejaculate and fall into a deep, troubled slumber.

I made B@W with my 20th post, barely three months after joining uber - and I'll be the first to admit, it was too much, too soon. I'd reached the crest of a wave, and I thought it would just keep on rolling, man.
But life's got a habit of pulling the rug out from under your feet and putting sour milk in your coffee. I just assumed that more B@W posts would follow, not every time, of course, but every other week. I'd tasted success and I was greedy for more: but I paid the price for my complacency.
Pretty soon I was chasing tail and scoring drugs every night of the week, when I SHOULD have been dedicating time to my next post. Before long, my work started to suffer badly. I got lazy, but I was young and spoiled and care-free. I thought the good times could roll on for ever. I was wrong.
I never made B@W again, and like McCartney gazing back at songs like 'Eleanor Rigby', I think it's unlikely that I can repeat my former glories. These days I'm more relaxed about how I'm recieved. My average rating's decent, probably a fair reflection of my overall output. I like to churn out a short piece of fiction every now and then, with perhaps the odd SPT, but I'll never again burn the candle at both ends to reach for the stars. I was a one-hit wonder, I accept that now. I've made my peace with it.

So did you ever get on B@W or what?

Sorry, all uberversary posts get the same rating.
Actually, I'm not sorry...you are, for announcing publicly how long you've been on a shithole website.
That's not to say that I don't generally enjoy your posts because I do.

Did I just spell out "wrought" instead of "wrote"?
Fail.
