There are two reasons I don't like going on roller coasters...

Fear of heights, and me getting motion sickness. It effectively limits the options I have on amusement park rides.
 
In fact, when I went to Sydney's famous Luna Park the only attraction I could really stand without getting dizzy or sick was Coney Island. Thankfully it's got really big slides and I loved going down the slide a lot in my childhood when I went to the local park.
 
I've been one like 1 roller coasters in my life and it really wasn't the scariest one ever. It was at the Six Flags here and it was called The Ninja. I'm not sure about going on any more though some of the other at Six Flags look too intimidating to me.

I'm sure the ride for me to be intimidated about is SheiKra at Busch Gardens Tampa.. it's got a 90°-drop 200 feet up in the air, and it's floorless too.

That's the sister coaster to Griffon at Busch Gardens here. Everyone keeps trying to get me on Griffon but I haven't gotten the nerve yet, haha.

I just started riding roller coasters last summer, so I'm still trying to work my way up to the bigger ones. I'm also just starting to build up my tolerance to drops, and the bigger ones are still really intimidating - I'll probably try Alpengeist or Apollo's Chariot next once Busch Gardens opens for the season.
 
In my opinion there are so many moderators over here (not in a negative way), that I pretty much see them as everyone else, as normal human beings and such

I never road a roller coaster in my life before. I mean, it sure seems like heavy fun and such and I wouldn't have a reason not to ride with one, yet I just never did for unknown reason :/

I've heard of Griffon before, and I've seen it before as well when I went to Williamsburg in the summer of 2011. Is Griffon floorless too like SheiKra? Originally SheiKra had a floor, but that was removed in 2007, around the same time that Griffon opened up.

That's really how our staff tries to be, is as close to a normal member as possible. We definitely like interacting with the community to our best extent, to show that we aren't discipline machines. :)
 
I both like and dislike that the staff on PC are promoted members. It's certainly better than the staff on forum I previously used, in which the moderators almost never spoke to anyone. At the same time, it can be a bit awkward to have your friend infract or suspend you, eh?

Oh yeah I can imagine that being awkward. It's like they're you're friend so they might be lenient on you most of the time , but it's their job to infract any wrongdoings so they have no choice in that situation. Though fortunately for me I've haven't had that happen even if I do have good friends on here who have been staff members.

It is. I think they actually removed the floor on SheiKra when they built Griffon - I don't think the floorless train for that type of roller coaster existed when SheiKra was originally built.
 
Sometimes I'd go on an IRC channel, pop in and say hi (being new) and all the regulars and ops would either shutup until I leave or tell me to stfu or gtfo, like I'm automatically stupid because I'm not one of them.

That's what I like about the Battle Server chat. I don't even have - but everyone still talks to me like everyone else. :D

This applies to me every time I say "hi" or anything like that in the chat in BF4...
although maybe because most people are rather frustrated because I might be better than them

You never know what's down the road

You have to take into account that not all will be paying attention to the chat 24/7. These past couple of days I've been pretty busy catching up on my TV shows, trying to get them out of the way so I can have free time for whatever in the future. I missed all of them last week through last night. Glad to get back on track. The stupid mid-season finale ruined the flow of keeping track of things weekly.

Not to mention a lot of people play the LoL game, so they're distracted with that too.

The battle server chat is amazing. If you go in there and you're new, they welcome you. That's how my experience was over there, and it's been a keeper for me to stay around.

You have to go on BSS, I'm there. I'm the entertainer B)
 
I should just drop out of college. It made me miss a conversation about roller coasters. :'(

Anyway, I like going on the battle server. Everyone greets me and makes me feel welcome. I don't really go there often since I get my chatting needs done here and I go on the main server for battling, but I'll drop in every once in a while.

The conversation about roller coasters isn't for life though. Your degree is :(

I haven't seen you on the server since I've been promoted. Are you hiding from me? >:(
