ALL TOGETHER NOW!

I'm calling you all out. Tonight and tomorrow I'm going to start combing this LJ and dropping things into memories, and I really want a thread like this to be in here.

INTRODUCE YOURSELVES.

Why are you here? Who are you? How did you find us? What was your alias when you were a member of the site, if you were? Are you an altporn model, a photographer, one of the "zotted", an archive girl, an ex-member who cancelled, someone who's just curious about the site ... ? I think it would be really awesome to have a list of us and who we are, so that we can better identify where we're all coming from. Even just a quick little blurb would be good ... just put it in a comment to this entry.

I'll write mine as soon as I get back from work ...

I was originally given the link to this community by [info]keithdok, when I was still on the site and curious about what was happening with all the Fatal Beauty zottings and Nala, and all the other girls who just disappeared. I was spikybluegirl on the site as well, and I quit in December because I felt I needed to be done with my time on the site, since I'd never meant to stay more than three months and ended up there for a year. A few weeks ago, I decided to renew my membership to catch up with old friends, and Sean zotted me after about 2 days, citing my negativity towards the site as a reason. I'm still here for several reasons: certainly because I like keeping up with the doings on the site (let's just say it, GOSSIP!), but also because I liked many of the members of this community, and because I'm interested in altporn in general and from a sociological and psychological standpoint.

I've never posted before, but I'm totally here for the drama. Has anyone ever seen a magazine called "Heeb" before? It's for hip Jewish men. They have a sexy Passion of the Christ photospread this month. For real. Anyways, SG has a full page ad in there. It seems strange in a way that can't really be explained.

I'm here because some british SG-ex-member told me about this LJ. I've been a member on SG from 10/2001 to 11/2003, maybe the first foreign member. By time I got disillusioned like everybody else and finally left, because of that one immature guy whose behaviour I did not accept. I met a couple of very nice people there, so it was worth the money.

I used to be sg member Blai and before that, a member under another name from about april 2003(I let my account lapse.) I was zotted from SG about a month ago ostensibly for posting a link to this livejournal community. However, I believe it was also because I had posted sympathetically to an earlier thread started by now archived SG Anouck, concerning SGs modelling for other sites.

I have been a member of this community since it was first made, under both this and my old lj username, and was a member of the original livejournal community.

I came here because I wrote a journal entry on SG about a girl who's facial expressions look like one of those japanese dogs with the wierd over/under(???) bites. I never got a zot on the site, but I learned quick not to ever make mention of a models looks again due to the mob mentality and attention that entry got (when really, I am -totally- not well-known on that site at all...it was amazing really). One of the community members pointed me here...I cannot, for the life of me, remember her SG name (either Ava or aya).

My name is Katneko on SG. I like SG a lot currently, and I like this community because it houses a lot of behind-the-scenes drama. I also like laughing at folks, because sometimes the claims made in here are a little rediculous.

Sometimes they're right on, tho.

I'm Ilyse, 18, and I joined back when it was the original suicide girls community. I think I was 16 (maybe early 17) when I joined (so a year or 2 ago) and I don't remember ever posting pics, but I really wanted to be a suicide girl back then. I thought "hey, I'll join the community! next best thing.." Obviously my opinion of SG has changed a lot in the passed couple years since my eyes have been opened to how they really are. I thought it was really crappy how they came and took over our community, and how they're stifling the words of people who want to speak out.

Anyway, that's my story.

I was SG member SilentType from around 2002 until early 2003. I remember my best friend, under the name Bebop, getting zotted after complaining about the freedom of speech on the site: well, not zotted-zotted... all of a sudden his account wouldn't log-in, and after a polite request and waiting a couple weeks, he finally confronted Sean about it and Sean acted the dick and erased his account. Bebop was lucky, though, as he got refunded for that month.

There was a lot of shit in the year or so I hung around. I remember the Courtney debacle, and after telling Bebop about it he said he would've quit had he been there for that.

I kept my trap shut, though, as I had met a lot of cool people on SG ([info]aurynpendragon is one, and from her I met [info]luxnightmare) and didn't want to lose those connections. Finally, though, I had enough of paying $9 a month to see Sean play fascist dictator with his members and quietly cancelled my membership.

here's your answers in the order you asked:

- to read about all the drama, and laugh at some of the most ridiculous misinformation ever. alot of the stuff written here is totaly exaggerated. I've been on the site since a monthafter it started, and I'm really good friends with sean and missy. (in fact, I saw them yesterday)but yeah, the drama here is hours of entertainment.
-suicide Voltaire at your service, darling.
-the original suicide girls community, before it was taken over by "the BIG pink"
-not applicable.
-I'm not an alt pron model, I'm just a model... most of the paid work I'm doing now, I keep my clothes on... I still shoot for SG, because they pay me lots, and they're good people.(to me, anyway)

i am an artist/photographer thing. i used to drop by here from time to time, but "hello kitty" caught my attention, and i stayed for the buzz (and i don't like being ignored, Sean). Seeing the model contract bothered me to, because i didnt't want to lose my friend as a model. Shes MINE, not SG's!!! So its the buzz and the pet peeves really.
I've never paid to be part of SG, and from what ive seen, i never intend to, i like my porn to be high quality images.
And umm... ive made some friends here, its a miracle!

hi, i'm jess. i heard about suicide girls, thought it was fantastic, & then discovered otherwise all in a span of about a week. i was just about to sign up for an account (even though i'm so, so very poor, it seemed worth it), when while visiting a friend on her college campus i saw a poster advertising the burlesque tour. someone had written "nothing is sexy about bad labor practices" on it in sharpie. so that got me investigating & i discovered this community, from which i've learned about a lot of behind-the-scenes badness that goes on at sg. i'm usually pretty quiet in the community because i'm *not* really involved at sg & so i'm not as alert to what goes down as all of you are. i dig this community though, & i have not signed up for an account at sg. i'm just interested in feminist & political issues overall (as well as sexual issues ;-) ), & i think that this community has a great perspective on sg, altporn, etc.

i was blackandbluegirl for 9 months and canceled my account. i was always disappointed in the lack of variety of body types offered on the site, and increasingly disappointed by the answers to the question, "why aren't there any plus-sized sgs?" that and the way that some models seem to be allowed to be rude when they want to yet members get zotted left and right for simply voicing their opinions, the mob mentatlity on the boards, the mysterious "archiving", and just the fact in that period of time i knew that i didn't like the direction that the site was going...
i found this lj around the time i canceled, i think on someones userinfo page. i really like reading about the varying experiences of other members and models, and a lot of questions have been answered and feelings been validated. a lot of good dialogue happens here.

I joined this community when there was still less than 100 people, and i think I was down to the last week of my account on SG. I found it all interesting, lovin the drama. Come for the freak, stay for the food.

My friend gave me a sub on SG for my bday last year and I was a member for 6 months (I was theblacknurse). By the last 2 or 3 months, I was getting pretty jaded with the site.

I first encountered sean and o when they created a drama in the relatively peaceful SGAU group. Sean kicked my friend from being the group mod for calling someone a "nasty stain" (he went and dobbed to sean hahaha) and then o had to come in and call us all "stupid dicks" and that we were excluding people & being racists for suggesting seperate groups for New Zealanders and other countries that were all lumped under "SGAU". Whatever, o. Sean never really bothered me apart from that but thats when I noticed how incredibly annoying o is.

Why are you here? - Different perspectives
Who are you? - a girl in Toronto
How did you find out about us? - I was a member of the old community, but I found this through a google search one boring day
Alias on SG - might be best not to say here, though I'm not too hard to find.

Hello all, I'm Chloe and I've been a member of this community for ages, but have never posted.
Originally I was a member of the old suicidegirls community, before it got taken over. When that happened and this place was created, I followed along.
I basically joined just because I was interested in the site.
I had thoughts of joining, but those were quickly squashed.

I thoroughly enjoy reading what all you lovely people have to say on here, so keep it up! :)

Then I started to learn "the bad" about the site.

Well, Matt.

I was in the original lj comm before it got junta'ed. I started to talk to some of the ex-models after they left, ironically enough. Mostly, I didn't even know they were at the time. *chuckles* Well, one or two.

I like listening.

I am ex-SG Dia. I was the first model they ever decided to archive, as opposed to just delete. So I guess I sort of started the whole archive girls thing, which I find disturbing to this day, as I had joined the site to have a voice, and maintained very thorough journals, which a friend luckily saved most of.
I started on the old Suicide Girls forum long before almost any other SG model. It seemed like an extension of the site at that time. No idea how I found it, other than that I'm good at poking around the Net and had an lj account.
I've rejoined SG twice and been zotted both times (technically they once just ate my 9 bucks and THEN I found out they'd banned my IP, for the second or third time now over the past year and some odd).
I'm hear to speak what I know to be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me God, and I mean that to the core of my being. I think Suicide Girls is a horrible place, not only because of how I was treated... actually, I think the treatment of ex-SG Xiolah may have been the straw that broke the camel's back for me, in many ways... another story for another day. I think it's run by very negative people who treat others like human commodities and feel no remorse cashing in on the suffering of others, and I have seen hundreds of instances of their poor business ethics and general coldness. I know that they think it's really cute and funny that I write what I do, and perhaps other people do to, they can dig the drama all they want to, but the thing is, what's your drama is my reality and what your fairytale is is my nightmare, what your fiction is is my truth, and I will uphold the vow of Satya to the bitter end, and have no real investment in what anyone thinks of me for doing so.

In short, I'm hear to say what I know. And if I don't know it, I'll say that too. None of it is in any way important to me on any personal level, but I know I've benefited others, and that is good. I feel sorry for those who don't know, or worse, lie to themselves.

I'm Adelaide.
I'm interested in alternative modelling (more so than alternative porn). I used to visit the old community and followed over here after the pink site hijacked it. I generally lurk here because at the moment I just really don't have anything to say.
