We once made a flash animation for a record company. They told us it was brilliant and 30 staff gave us a round of applause. They asked us to stick it out without their name on it. Then their legal department sent us a cease and desist for infringing their copyright. How have you been screwed over?

There's nothing like ineffectual teachers to make you lose all faith in life and humanity. My truest sympathies for what you went through - it shouldn't have happened. But the last place I would ever want to share something as painful as this is b3ta. The bullies that didn't end up in jail or die in car crashes grew up, learned Photoshop and are now at large on the boards of b3ta, scanning the posts for an opportunity to humiliate or irritate another user. By all means try to turn your story in to something positive for the kids of today, but throwing yourself at the mercy of b3ta users is more trouble than it's worth, and not good for your sanity. Good luck.

disregard the noisy troll, who does this week in, week out, the reaction is on the whole sympathetic.

I've got to say that reading Windy Pigs assault made me rather angry and I felt sorry for the recipient of this vile, frustrated and ill thought-out Trolling. Then I realised he is Ginger and I felt pity so all was well.

I'm hardly on here but this just seemed to stick out. On reflection I'm glad to see the positive replies, but I still wouldn't advise baring one's soul on b3ta. There's always someone getting hit with big sticks over nothing. It's a bear-pit at times.

I figured I'd take a punt, I wouldn't do this again in a couple of weeks based on what I saw in the run up to the break. Beyond Windy's contribution, tbh I think I got through this pretty much unscathed all things considered.
But yeah, not going to be doing it again any time soon.

If you come here without *any* lurkage and jump in feet first then maybe fair-call on we should be more gentle.
However in light of all the sock-puppets (thnx Ignore 2.0 and steppings) I think you're just as likely to come across someone with their L plates who seems fairly aufait as a truly complete noob.
