GuildCafe

I recently joined this social networking place for gamers that reminds me a lot of Myspace without the crap that makes Myspace…well crap. I first learned of GuildCafe from Cuppy’s blog posts telling everyone about it. I figured I would check it out and sign up because that’s what I do, you know, sign up for stuff (and I wonder why I have so much spam mail?). At first GuildCafe was really confusing and I have never claimed to be one to read instructions. But after playing with the thing for a bit I think I finally have the hang of it. It seems whoever created GuildCafe jimmyrigged a Vbulletin software and made it into more of a social personal page thing. It’s really quite ingenious once you look at it for what it is.

Now I am not saying that I am a fan of these networking things because honestly I’ve never seen much come from them. To be honest I usually sign up for them and forget all about them within a month, thus defeating the purpose of this sort of site entirely. However now that I am much more involved in the commuties of the games that I play I don’t see the harm in at least trying to keep something like this maintained. There’s something that fascinates me with the idea of making friends and having them join your friends list and maintaining a place for you to keep in touch with others – not that I can’t do that here on my blog, but you get the point.

So if you haven’t signed up yet and you’re one of those social outgoing types that really wants to feel like you are “part of something” then sign-up and get yourself a little personal page and make it your own. So far I have mine set up with the games I am currently playing/waiting for and I’ve added a few quotes and tags for people to find me. I’ve linked to my blog here and I’ve associated myself with my Vault Network nickname and such.

If you want to add me to your GuildCafe friends list you can find my profile here. Right now I think my friends list consists of Cuppy but I expect it will grow over time.
