Ubersite is an interesting place.
I have found over my years of participating in the shenanigans of this peanut gallery, that looking back it has been many things to me... I find myself curious as to peoples participation in the society of this site. The How, and Why's as it were.
I have gone through an evolution in my participation here. So here is my Uberstory... I share in the hopes the other's might follow. And belive me, I know I will most likely probably pick up a Submission Troll.
Anyhow. Here goes.
I started out here when I was working for Earthlink here in Pasadena, CA. This of course was before they decided to shut down the majority of their West Coast operation after merging with Mindspring, a predominantly East coast operation. So I was really good at what I did and I needed something to preoccupy myself as I answered stupid questions and rerouted calls from old senile people that couldn't understand the statement press "1" for customer service and press "2" for Technical support.
I spent my time bouncing around the internet looking at random stuff... once the novelty of "hot or not" wore off I started just trying to make up URLS to see if someone had planted a site there.
Enter www.boredatwork.com. I will give you one guess at what I was feeling that day, trying to break the monotony of helping some middle aged housewife discover that the reason she couldnt get on the internet was due to the fact that her computer wasn't on (No I am not making this up). Of course skimming "Bored at Work" landed me at Ubersite. I read Bart's "Licking a bum's ass" post and I ended up registering my account.
I had already been participating in forum discussion on a friends VBulletin forum and it had become dull becuase of the fact that there were exactly 6 members. 4 of which actually partipated in discussions.
I started on here by engaging in several arguments with a Canadian by the name of d_d or dar dog or something. In retrospect they were asinine arguments but whatever.
Earthlink closed their call center, I moved on to other endeavors. Ubersite came with me...
Since then I have used Ubersite to try and expand my creativity in my artistic nature. I have stirred the shit pot and start arguments on controversial subjects. I have done the junk posts, the drunk posts, the chain posts, the bandwagon posts. I have seen and missed participating in 4 Ubermadness competitions. I have shared funny anecdotes, and social satire. I have used Ubersite as a sort of Journal to help myself sort out issues with relationships. I have tried to share my own lessons and epiphones. I have had my ass handed to me by those who are respected here, and I have been given respect in other situations.
All in all I really am glad that I found this place. This is really the only website that I have consistently stuck with for as long as I can remember. The arguing, the trolls, the lame alters, the stupid controversies,the poorly drawn MSpaint pictures; they have all made this place like a reality series that I just can't get enough of and I love every minute of it.
Over the years I have faded in and out of obscurity, and in my level of participation likewise. But Ubersite is a special place and as long as it is here, I will be, at least in some capacity.
So... anyone else? How did you find Ubersite? What is your Uberstory?
and for the trolls...
How much of a fag am I? and how bad does this post suck Donkey Balls?

Okay I'll play.
like everyone else I got here through bored at work, at first i didn't bother with the uber links and mainly just went for improvanywhere sites etc... Then I stumbled across Mike00295 's 'Why male cheerleader Why?' and I couldn't remember ever laughing so hard, so I did the obvious, which was spend the rest of the work day reading his stuff, (I'm a terrible rapist, isn't suicide bombing a little extreme etc etc....) Then I thought, well if this is the calibre i can expect from ubersite then it must be site worth signing up for.
I should have really looked around a bit more.
I think when i first realised that Uber was unique was when I witnessed a internet fight between caulincourt and loki, I remember thinking woah! how are they getting away with this? so to be daring my first review ever went along to the tune of 'Go get Aids'.
I then lurked around for a few months before i got the guts to post something, i had never been more nervous in my life, but it got a decent response, so i gave myself a pat on the back and a parade.
Then scourge told me that all i contribute was 'mediocre at best' and it hurted my internet feelings so i stopped posting. Actually that's not true i'm just a lazy, lazy person and would rather pick on 2007 noobs than do anything that requires thinking.

I had finished reading everything in Maddox's catalog, and there was a section at the bottom of the page listing "Sites that dont suck". Bored at work looked the most interesting. I read j0andre1's post about killing small black children by farting at the DMV, and I thought it was brilliant. I read a few other posts; Tom's P2P post and another post about popping his inflated ego balloon, which I thought was stupendously well-written.
Then I read some of the bullshit on the front page and went back to Maddox's page to discover Tucker Max. That was the best internet-related thing that has happened to me. Actually, most of what I know about girls I know by reading Tucker Max or by reading shit I discovered through Tucker Max.
Enter freshman year of college. My English 101 teacher started talking up my writing ability (as only an average writer, I was a diamond in a pile of shit at that school). So one day, I got bored and wrote about a haunted insane asylum i visited with my friends and remembered that there was such a place as ubersite, and I came here to post it. You got the rough draft. The revised version of that was much better.

Like many before I found this site through B@W, I read a Pentameter post on there and laughed my arse off. Then went and read everything she's ever written
By then I was familiar with the site layout and just generally hung about for a while.
My post vary from my stories that seem to be well received (if a little rushed) to the absolute shit that I post like this http://www.ubersite.com/m/98911 but which makes me laugh.
I used to take the site seriously and got upset with Spooner (my second or third post) but pretty quickly realised that nothing that happens on here matters a shit.
I now treat it absolutely the way that suits me. I think that EVERY poster contributes something to this site, even people liek Maltese. You don't like him - don't click on his post. Simple really.
(this is FAR better than your last post)

I came here by chance; like a moldy card picked up from an old monopoly game. Whilst bored at work I typed that into google. Up came a site with lots of link, some funny, some not. One particular story gripped me.
It was all Grimms fault. The stories of the 'Dude upstairs' dragged me in. I read a wee bit more and decided that I may have something to give too.
After farting on my computer rather a lot I realised that I had nothing new to give to the place. I stayed though and will remain until my job gets busier or I become dead.

Now, this is a story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And I liked to take a minute
Just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air
In west Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground was where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool
And all shootin some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys
Who were up to no good
Startin makin trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one lil fight and my mom got scared
She said 'You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in bel Air'
I begged and pleaded with her day after day
But she packed my suite case and send me on my way
She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket.
I put my walkman on and said, 'I might as well kick it'.
First class, yo this is bad
Drinking orang juice out of a champagne glass.
Is this what the people of Bel-Air Living like?
Hmmmmm this might be alright.
But wait I hear the pricey booze, wine all that
Is Bel-Air the type of place they send this cool cat?
I don't think sow
I'll see when I get there
I hope they're prepared for the prince of Bel-Air
Well, the plane landed and when I came out
There was a dude who looked like a cop and yelled my name out
I ain't trying to get arrested
I just got here
I sprang with the quickness like lightening, disappeared
I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror
If anything I can say this cab is rare
But I thought 'Now forget it' - 'Yo homes to Bel Air'
I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8
And I yelled to the cabbie 'Yo homes smell ya later'
I looked at my kingdom
I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel Air

Me and Williamson and another guy were at school discussing Goatse, and he mentioned that it pops up a lot on "Ubersite". I asked for a link to his account later that day on msn because it sounded very political the way he'd described it.
Anyway I signed up, made one awful post, then got horribly drunk a few nights later at Williamson's place and plastered the front page with gibberish.
So I went on holidays, came back and started a new (this) account. Posted a bit more political stuff before I posted Wazza Camwhores, which was my first Most Heated post and propelled me to instant recognisable status. Eventually I gave up trying to talk politics on the internet.
Over my career here, I have been a valued member of the Uber Book Club, the UN Delegate of the Uberia Nationstates region, an involuntary member of Superfriends, the winner of various prizes from MichaelJackson, c1ndy and Danger_Ranger, the star of such fiction series as Rebel Wars, How Diana's Soused Chauffeur's Bitch Cousin Ruined My Life (an explanation of sorts to my dear Merlina), Beer Crisis and Terry the Turtle Amphibian (sort of), and even featured in a video game. I have investigated a mysterious disappearance, travelled to Michigan through the use of patented Porta-Thorpe technology, and smeared my chest with oatmeal. I've drank with Saxon, almost drank with Shandythedog, and collaborated on a post with Circe (sort of).
By writing this, I've realised I have nothing else left to achieve, and am retiring from Ubersite as of this review.

As I skimmed past this post I got increasingly bored.
So don't be surprised if there are some people who just don't like how you set this up. It's a little painful first time through - and lets face it, uber is a shallow whore.
After a quick re-read I scooted down and was intrigued by some of the responses - they seem honest enough and I dig that shit.
So I changed mah mind - this shit is cool.
I got sent some sorta political link because I would e-scrap it up with a few different groups of people - generally trading multiple emails back and forth. I have pages of emails saved of some scathing rhetoric that has always got me fired up creating and receiving. I seem to remember thinking that particular post was bullshit - can't remember what about and I think I was fairly intent on commenting... but it took a little while to get confirminated around here so that post faded into uber oblivion. But I did the classic lurk while I waited for Bart to pull the trigger - and soon stumbled upon everyone's favorite conspiracy-nut punching bag : Mr. Tooth. I loved the dynamic back and forth between him and indoninja in particular - but soon the regular cast of characters around here became familiar. I waded in with a fairly well received political post:
http://www.ubersite.com/m/89617
... and I knew I was hooked.
If anyone wants to know more this'll sum it up pretty good:

Since you asked, I don't recall exactly how I got here but I remember initially thinking that it was some kind of nazi site. Then I started reading JMG's J-Date series and laughing my ass off, and that was that. I had the radio on when I joined, hence my crappy nom de' plume.

I had a g-g-g-grandmother named Mariette Uber. She was Dutch. Messmind and I are probably distant cousins.
This guy always make me smile ! Peace , cowboy !
BTW ; I found Uber once in a google-search for something completely different, and was wondering who had the guts to actually start a place called "uber"-site , and expected some nazi-thing !
How i was surprised by this box of pandora !
By now , it's my personal re-socializing project . Lately that works out quite good ...

Did I Stutter?
TROLL.
================================
No no no. Damnit, keep up. I'm simply reviewing this post with what it deserves.
-2 die.
Plus, you have the word "Darth" in your username. That automatically grants you geek/dork/nerd/goon/virgin status as far as I'm concerned.

+2 cuz I've always wondered, and I hope all will post honest answers... It's been 3 or 4 years of Uber for me.....
I found uber by way of bored at work... 3/4-ish years ago while I was working a helpdesk position... Internet access was limited, but since I was the one who reset employee's passwords for internet access, I hijacked 'em. :)
In October of 2004 (after a few months of Uber-ing) I lost my job. I went back to school, got 2-year degree, and got a nice cushy job... so cushy that they TOLD me to "surf the web" on my first day! Now, I love my job, and so far I've had one whole week of work that took me away from Uber, but I am thrilled to be back... and don't forget that I have alliances with super uber members!! haha ok, so maybe not. But I have been around since 2003, posts/reviews or not....
let's just face it- people love me because I *snort*

Okay, so I stumbled across a post here from a google search for I-don't-remember-what. I noticed the name Razor in the sidebar and, because I know another guy whose online name is Razor, read some of his stuff to see if it was the same guy. It wasn't but by the time I worked that out I was so stunned by the idea that you could write ANYTHING, say ANYTHING, that not joining up never occurred to me.
And I've sucked ever since.

I had a g-g-g-grandmother named Mariette Uber. She was Dutch. Messmind and I are probably distant cousins.

I saw B@W, found this place, liked some stuff, signed up, waited 2 months for an email and i've been posting fiction ever since. I guess that was about a year ago.

I found this site through bored at work.....though I wasn't at work at the time.......immediately...and I mean as of my second post after being here three days got into what's known these days as an intarweb feud with koolmang......though he was calling himself abortion rules....my first positively rated post was an abortion rules hate post.
I created three alters 'koolmang.' .koolmang' and 'kool.mang' and just generally bugged him with them until he was banned/left.
After that I started to pay more attention to other posts and was amazed that not only was I not having my preconceptions overturned.....I was having them reinforced and intensified...for a couple of years I regularly made america bashing posts because I couldn't.....and still can't...understand how a rich democratic country could be so messed up....inerspersed among the anit-america posts were a wide variety of shitty posts.....some of them were done badly, or saying certain thing in them on purpose...but no-one ever seemed to pick up on that and they got slated......they majority of my posts got slated because they were all shite......
after a while I posted a few bits and bobs of unusual news and tfound it was well recieved.....which spawned 'Woodys News'.....lasted about ten posts....all of which ended up with ratings such as +2 on 1 review, or +1.5 on two........
I quit Uber for a few months.....and in the mean time someone got hold of my account and posted some poem about killing cats.....
I came back and stopped messing about with my posts.....wrote them properly.....they weren't great still but after a while......more than two years after I'd joined Uber my average rating crept from negative to positive.....I had a few well recieved comedy posts....started posting collages...and started arguing with ETS....which kept me busy......I also put a bitof effort into my more serious writing I did for Uber...adn thuogh it's not great it does alright ratings wise......was still hell of a shock to find that someone thinks I'm the best user from 0.20-0.29 though......and that was last week.....here I am.....
