I checked the staff... and noticed that the staff is all male. Is this a coincidence, sexism, or do girls just have no desire to be on this forum?
Come to think of it, i've never seen a single girl on the forums.

Silently Random, TheBlackParade/NeonSaysRawr/Necrophiliac, ShortCakes, [jk]Omni[/jk] (for some reason, he is listed as a female), and quite possibly myself...

How is that gender discrimination? Girls have been recruited before, but honestly there is a completely natural shortage of girls in DanBall (according to statrr (what the fuck is up with their logo?) and Alexa) and because we're an extension of that site we naturally have more males than females.
Also when is it a good idea to say how female you might be to a community so male-oriented in the first place? Don't you remember silently random? She was stalked or something (I forget, this was like 2 years ago).

Well, I haven't had any problems for the duration of the time I was Natasha Bedingfield on the old forum...

No, there is no sexism here. I have noticed that Females arnt on the computer as oftain as males that explains the whole thing. (PS: GV Omni willingly changed his thing-a-majiger to Pink for some reason...)

What do you mean by changed his thing-a-majiger to Pink? I have been away from the forum for a while.
Also, I never really did find out if GV was male or not, to be honest. I mean, I still call him a him because I think that the masculine term is for male, neutral, and multiple gendered nouns (like almost every other goddamn language ever) and received no objections this whole time.

Yep. GV is male. I am sure. (I would be really really surprised if he wasn't)
As for the thing-a-majiger, it's the little icon on the top right of your mini-profile. Grey is undefined, blue is male and pink is female.

Our females are just not that active as our males,and we can't have non-active staff members. (except for Izacue)

He's no longer staff. I'm sure he's not.

He's no longer staff. I'm sure he's not. Oh,but he's still chat mod |

Post by ~Memzak~ on Nov 15, 2010 14:05:45 GMT
Seriously? He's never even on chat. Oh well...
Back to possible sexism on the forum. There is none.
XD Girls tend to be less interested in forums than guys.

 Since when he is still a chat mod? Anyway, it isn't so much that they are less interested in forums, more that there just doesn't seem to be as many on the internet. They are out there, but not really all that common. |

Post by ~Memzak~ on Nov 15, 2010 16:06:26 GMT
Yea. Which is why the majority of the internet is male oriented.

Post by Qwerty on Nov 16, 2010 1:50:06 GMT
Look at this thread, for instance. Discounting neutrals, there are no females to post here yet. Ergo, not enough females here to have one as staff.

Exactly! What happened to Mina? Is she still around?

She was a forum member who was here a couple months ago. (she had a longer name like minako or something) She was a girl.
But... Your profile said male before female?! So are you lying to us now, or were you lying to us before?
Besides, you always respond on chat to he/him with no objections...

Yeah, I'm almost certain Elton is a male.
Mina still posts sometimes, just not in this thread.
Oh, and this is thread 1337.

l33t... Another thing girls wouldn't really understand/care about.
Oh well... girls tend to be on the internet, but they lurk more and register/post less than guys.

Not girls in general, just some girls. There are exceptions to everything. Just look at our chat: Tons of girls there.

Girls do like chatting more than posting.
(as you can see by NSR, The Nubwarz, Mespiroth, SilentlyRandom and whatnot)
(Although SR also posted on the forum a while ago)

hence in my earlier post... Yes I do remember you and that you have a forum account. I've even linked to it before in a couple threads for reference to how many posts you have made or just reference to you.
A new girl that actively posts? You have just thrown this thread on it's head. Welcome to the Dan-Ball Forum! (Oh and you're in england? We have a couple of people there, like TheNubwarz [also a girl] and TDM! [who left the forum some time ago, but I still have contact with him. XD) Anyways... Welcome! |

This should be a girl thread now. XD Like a thread for them so specifically post in to confirm their existence.

Eh, this thread was supposed to be about the possibility of sexism in the staff system. We know it isn't sexism, as we don't even know the person's gender sometimes.
