Yayyyyyys! Keep expressing yourself, and be sure that more people than you may suspect feel that way to some degree! XD <3 u're not alone

*hugs*

I totally get it, I used to be pretty nervous or shy (and still feel that way a lot, although I handle it better now)! But since you're being honest with yourself about it, you can start trying to tackle it :) Just taking it slow and learning to post and talk honestly, you'll get to a point where you feel more comfortable over time. It's a skill that takes practice and you can improve at it, like anything else :)

Sometimes when I reply to a thread in the forum I feel like I killed the conversation because people stop posting in it sometimes after my post. I hope I am not the only who feels that way at times.

Ha!
No, you're not. I can assure you, you're not ;)

It's something you shouldn't worry about online! If anywhere you can be yourself here and not feel bad or shy about doing so.

Just get out there and get vocal!

I actually enjoy "killing" threads lol

It's like a won the thread or something :P

The best part about conversations that are not face-to-face is that you can be whoever you want to be, act however you want to act, and no one will bat an eye. You *might* get roasted if you're being rude or unreasonable, but that's a different thing all together (^_^;)

Every person wears a mask, to protect themselves. And the net provides a very strong mask for all. Don't be afraid to test it's strength; it's what it was made for in the first place.

Superfluous poetic shit aside, RMN's pretty docile compared to other communities I've been in. Most people here are old mature enough to keep level heads (usually). I'm not sure since when I've become a "regular", but I do remember how: Just hop in and join the fray.

The internet is a scary place. Just don't think too much, but at the same time do. Most vocal members here on RMN are developers/artists. RMN is also not like a lot of other sites where people just post comments like "this best game evr make. 12/10!!". I think this is a good community for people who aim to learn and get better.

It can also be tough for us when developers/people only care about originality/custom stuff just for the sake of it. Also, if you disagree with someone's opinion on the internet, that person will probably hate and want to kill you.

EDIT: Also, most people on here and other sites dislike/hate me because I use RTP graphics in my games. Because of this, I'm afraid to join community events because no one would ever want to work with a sinner like me. Also, my English is absolutely terrible; literally a lost cause. I'm a stubborn person though, so I won't give up/lose motivation that easily.

Uh, my title is RTP Princess and I never get hell for my love of RTP (bar when some of us discuss carpets and the tree canopies, but that's less hate and more difference of opinion/playful teasing). People don't have to like the RTP, but hating on those who use it is pretty uncommon around these parts, as far as I've seen. Like Ratty said, most of the games on the site are RTP based so while there's definitely an over-exposure, there's not really hate bar in a few topics where discussion about how it fails occur (and that's aimed at the actual graphics, not the people using them.)

As for wanting to kill someone over a disagreement? Maybe on stupid forums and the idiot part of the internet. Not here, and not in the RPG Maker scene, as far as I've noticed.

I mean, I've been stalked by idiots before, and we've had people threaten to hack the site, but I don't think I've ever seen a death threat outside of youtube comments (and everyone knows that that place is full of shit-crazy idiot children, so...)
