Apparently this soared over the heads of everyone...

Aten (also Aton, Egyptian jtn) is the disk of the sun in ancient Egyptian mythology, and originally an aspect of Ra. The deified Aten is the focus of the monolatristic, henotheistic, or monotheistic religion of Atenism established by Amenhotep IV, who later took the name Akhenaten in worship in recognition of Aten. In his poem "Great Hymn to the Aten", Akhenaten praises Aten as the creator, and giver of life. Some scholars have speculated that Psalm 104 may have been influenced by this hymn.

Things go through cycles. I don't know if any of you know the famous bitter viper's nest that is the eslcafe korea forums, but it goes through cylces of all out bitter free for all attacks and flame wars, to being tidied up by the mods and getting close to zero traffic and then the mods relax and it gets balanced and then goes through the same cycle again yearly...

Anyhow, I'm new to this forum and much of what's being talked about in this thread is over my head (references to long term posters for example) so hope you don't mind my little input.

Also, why the hell do a lot of you guys hate on esl teachers and people that need to save money so much?

That said I like this site's forums, they are a lot more relaxed and less anal than others I frequent and there is a lot more creative banter and sense of a historical community, but at the same time that does seem to have bread a sort of online old boy's club of posters that gang up and make snide commens towards newbs and ime, mostly esl teachers and those that are excited about living in Shanghai lol.

Anyhow, I can take it (as can che gevera judging from his avatar, insert toungue in cheek - I mean the emoticon..) and give back, so not a big dealio to me, just an observation.

I guesss some people take it too seriously and can't make witty, biting comebacks so feel reporting to the mods is the way to go for them. Guess i can understand that if they are an earnest poster with a genuine issue.

TBH from what I've seen on here since I joined a few months back, there was an awful lot of mindless insults and trolling more than I've seen on any other expat site in Asia. Why people feel the need for that I have no idea. Must be very bored and lonely.

Whatever happened to chinabrah? That guy was a riot. Contrary to what a lot of posters might think, I actually believe the guy was straight up and really was just kind of a mess and wasn't trolling for dramatical effect.

Well, now I've endeared myself to you all, anyone wants to meet for a fight can pm me - I'm moving there next month.

Jus' kidding.... I'm up for orgies though.

It's the posts like this that are killing shex. You have a bunch of 'old boys' like I said who are convinced from the continual circle jerk that they are actually funny, when in reality they just come accross as 13 yr old trolls, never contribuitng anyhting reciprocal or constructive or even on topic. In the fantasy world they have built up in their own minds I'm sure they are the equivalent of a modern day Oscar Wilde...

But to everyone else...

Also, the demographic is changing. A lot more esl teachers are coming to China nowadays, so you have a group of young, confident and articulate people that are better educated than most expats in Shanghai and have better lingusitic and intellectual dexterity on forums, thus these trolly old boys are either going to lose their battles and slowly sulk off with their tails between their legs and blame it on 'the forum sucking' or these new types of posters are just going to report and complain about a group they see as non constructive, semi literate and just, well trolls.

Guys like a lot of you are dinosaurs and your world is gradually, slowly coming to an end. Your time is finished and new, more adaptable, fitter, dynamic lifeforms are going to replace you. this is why you are so bitter.

Make the most of it while it lasts in the limited time you have left.

I'll be there soon to drink in your death rattles.

I kid, I kid. :lol: ::kiss::
