Default I feel like a wuss.
Because I don't actually do anything for the site.

Everyone sends in fivers, works on Fiver By Committee, and I just feel like I'm hitching a free ride because I do nothing.

Then again, why do I even feel like I have to do anything? I'm doing something by loving fivers. I've promoted 5MV at my forum.

But still. There's this nagging pain inside me that tells me I need to DO something. I don't have a clue what to do, though!

Suggestions? X_X

Aw, don't sweat it. Being a forumgoer IS doing something: you're part of the social fabric of 5MV.

Don't worry, I guess then I am a wuss too...but then I remember I've contributed the one-by-three story, TopHatMan, the continuation of John, and of course...SigKitty!Kidnapped!

And you have Seko and numerous fun things here at the forums too!

Yay us! We're like the ushers at a show who, during the show, make up their own show, have tons of fun, play games, and just generally goof off with a purpose.

If there was no Seko, how would I have gotten myself horribly maimed?

Erm, okay, silly question.

But anyway! Like Nan said, you're a part of the community, and that's enough. Anything on top of that is just showing off, really.

Don't worry about it. Being part of the forums is doing something for the site. And you do do something - you bring a little more insanity here - and that is a very important task, young padawan. *mumbles in Obi-Wan impression endlessly*

What matters is that you haven't done anything to harm 5MV.

Well, it's not like she hasn't tried. There was that secret plan to rename the site "Janeway rocks!", the plan to change the forum layout to be a giant picture of Janeway, the plan to attack Zeke and force him to change his name to Janeway...

...who knew all we needed to do was wave a stick near her hip? What was I talking about?

Don't sweat it. I don't even do a heck of a lot for my own site, never mind here. It gets updated every first of Octember.

Mainly I'm too lazy to do much of anything. I'm pretty sure that's it.

I hate you. :lol:

Well, okay, I feel better now, and now I don't feel like I have to do a fiver, haha. :P Thank you, everybody.

John, give Xeroc a chilli cheese dog with , because he's got a great point. And TopHatMan, give him some chocolate pudding pie. Oh, and Seko, get some of the stuff Martha baked you in prison!
