LOL! I quite enjoyed taking the test. I'd like to take my hat off to the
cheeky devil(s) who wrote it - there were serveral questions that gave me a
good smirk. Although no, I didn't pass, I got 3 wrong, and I'm far from
horrified that I did. I've never liked the idea that I fit into a specific
"box" definition of anything, anyway... and frankly, if you take yourself
and your "Gothness" too seriously then you're probably a bit mentally
disturbed. You've got to be able to laugh at yourself every now and again.
And let's face it, there are some aspects of the Gothic subculture that
are pretty cheesy - and I am guilty of almost all of them. You know,
bedsheets with bats printed on them, crushed velvet curtains, pumpkin
lights on your Christmas tree, that sort of thing. It's all well and fine
to be gloomy and DARK, but if you can't step outside yourself and laugh at
how silly it looks sometimes, you're in far too deep. Maybe I'm just
getting soft in my old age, but the more people I see leaping forward to
profess their perfect Gothnicity to the world the more I want to stop using
the G-word in my vocabulary.
Anyway, to sum up, a great tongue-in-cheek test and an amusing introduction
to the site. I'll be lurking.

A lot of tards here? No...not at all! <-insert sarcasm HERE
I swear, the past coupla years feels like a seven car pile up of short
buses on the freeway to Downsyndrome City.
Still, it makes those who are intelligent, who are fun and who are
beautiful that much better to be around and communicate with.

O.o switched TO firefox? this baffles me completely! I have never heard of
a problem with seeing things on a site that was fixed by switching TO
firefox, very strange...

Thanks for the welcome!
But I seem to be having some difficulty getting into the forum threads.
Since I've been here, I've only been able to read the threads a few times.
I can see the topics, but when I click on one it all goes blank. I was
just having this very problem - and had a brainstorm. Sure enough, I
switched from IE to FireFox and *ta-daa* now I can see the threads. Ah,
the miracles of technology. I know, I know, you're all so pleased with my
cute little learning curve.
Now back to your regularly scheduled Hallowe'en candy binge. ____________________ Art of Adornment ~ Victorian & Gothic Accessories

Thanks everyone. Ha, you think I'm pretty decent? Wow, you must get a lot
of 'tards in here.
I'll try to get some pictures sorted out shortly. ____________________ Art of Adornment ~ Victorian & Gothic Accessories

Oh good, there are still some decent people just lurking out there.
Welcome to the site. Let's chat sometime.
Oh, and as to where to submit pictures:
Submit pictures of yourself to the members, submit photographs to
photographs, and submit other art (such as paintings, sculptures, etc.) to
other art. ____________________ "People always say what we are looking for is a meaning for life…I don't

Anyone else agree with me that this is probably the best gothtest response
we've ever received?

Heh, thanks for the welcome. I've been looking through the galleries and
am interested in contributing some of my artwork (I guess you could say I'm
more stimulated by images than text, but I'll take your advice and do some
reading). I read through the FAQ on pictures, but the one thing I'm not
clear about is where you want art submissions to *go*... the "other art"
category, "members" category...? From a newbie's perspective it isn't all
that clear. Although I'm sure if I screwed up you'd put me where I belong.

No need to lurk. Read up on some of the older articles (especially in the
"Featured Articles" section) to see what the site is about - then start
posting. If you're not calling me names after the goth test, then you'll
fit in just fine. ____________________ So Sayeth Me |
