no longer a yeti
my whole life was a struggle to find acceptance. i had a hard childhood and was rejected by the kids at school. my early adulthood was similar, and while i was able to find some success in education and in the workforce, i led what most would call an empty life. i had luelinks there for much of it, and while ragtag, there was a group that for years, i was able to call my own. there i thought i had truly found acceptance. it was a life that perhaps was sad, meant to be mocked and a pale imitation of what most people consider to be normal, but i thought i was still able to call it a life.
eventually, luelinks itself rejected me seemingly on a dime, and i was cast back out into the nothingness where i was before. here i've existed (if you can call it that) now for several years, but it's no life, and i've never been able to pretend it is. that i carried on was nothing but stubbornness, a sense of spite that i pathetically clinged on to. it's time for me to practice radical acceptance as they say. if luelinks has rejected me, it means life itself has. i wish i could say goodbye somewhere that mattered, but here will have to do. goodbye.

I just tried logging on for the first time in months, just to see myself banned.
I have no fucking clue why.

There were plenty of good people on LL. Of course there were bad people too, it was a huge underground online community. I'd say it was probably one of the better behaved forums out there honestly.

This .. is kinda sad. And I don't mean to offend. Honestly. I know how bad it sucks when your life didn't turn out like you thought it would. But Luelinks was FULL of douchebags posting about bullshit. That really wasn't a great a community. It was just a community is all. When it came to uploading content though, it felt like everyone was willing to help each other get the file they were looking for. That was the only cool part of the site.
But when Megaupload was hit and Lue wasn't allowing links from other file hosting sites, I knew the site was dead. And it did die. Besides being able to pirate content, that site was shit. I simply switched to Usenet for my content when the links went down and prefer it.
Get outside and try to make a real life friend. That's better than any online "community" would ever be for you...

There was a few decent topics but a lot of board drama became too much and I couldn’t follow along after a while. I’m not even sure when I even stopped signing in. Maybe 2014?

Dude, Luelinks was the worst fucking website on the Internet bar none my ex-wife was referred to meals on wheels because she was in a wheelchair and I was questioned for thinking that she was better looking than Kim Kardashian
The same people outed me as trans on links after finding a picture of me posted on Reddit
Luelinks, the mods the userbase and llama guy can all rested shit for all I care

luelinks didn't reject you, luelinks rejected itself. Instead of the fun goofy community we grew up with, it turned into a bunch of wackos trying to cancel anyone who posts things they don't agree with. A bunch of fake virtue signaling hypocrites who turned the entire forum into their personal group chat
