Oh yeah I hate how you're pretty much autoscribed to anything you post it, it's pretty annoying. If I wanted to remember a thread, I'll subscribe myself.

I call them TBT Bells, but I see both being used.

Tom there is a way to not auto subscribe to threads
Maybe they were zapped by one of those Star Trek phasers, and as they were disintegrating, they took the last moments of their lives to VM you...it's actually really nice of them. Seriously though, this is a texting pet peeve for me IRL too, when you're going back and forth and then suddenly they drop the ball for like 45 minutes. I hate that.

Also, I agree the BTB thing got kind of bothersome. Some people tried to change it. It didn't stick. We should just let it go and stay with TBT.

OH I have another pet peeve.
When you write a post, and then the thread dies. Because of your post. :'c
That happens to me all the time. I go back to my subscriptions, and it's just me as the last poster on like 5 threads.
You'd think I'd take a hint. You'd think...
The only pet peeve I have is waiting with my 3DS on and wait for half an hour. No show. I turn my 3DS off to save power. then they apologize for taking so long so I turn it on again. Then I wait some more. Nothing. Rinse and repeat. I know life can get in the way but I can't be doing that for hours.
This one's kinda just me being whatever, but when I see users that have like 15k+ TBT that they never do anything with ever.
I mean, it's theirs and they have every right to do what they want with it, but it still just bothers me.
Now if they were saving up for a collectible that's fine, but I'm talking about those who aren't.
If I had loads of TBT that I wasn't going to use, I'd host a giveaway so someone else could use it for collectibles/games/items/whatever. Just to give back to the community.

Fair enough, however, maybe they're just holding onto it in case they need it for later. After all, it's a lot of work to save up hundreds of thousands of TBT.
Yeah, there's always a possibility they might use it someday, but I'm talking about those who are never going to use it. Ever.
You know those types of people. They just wanna be rich to be rich lol.

I like the idea of being rich because it shows how much you've worked towards it. Although, I'd like to save up thousands, and then buy loads of collectibles and hold a massive giveaway. Besides, it's nice to feel wealthy but then you remember that it's only virtual currency lol
Something that bothers me is when people with the highest bid on an auction drop out at the last minute. Then you have to work out the person with the next highest bid who is still prepared to buy.

I think I'll be a permanent member of the "Under 500 Club" because I can't stop buying hybrids, furniture, and clothes from people. LOL
I'll never be rich. *sigh*
I suppose that this also relates to real life as well, but you should be thankful that TBT isn't asking you to keep racking up bells just to survive.
In real life, you not only because you have to spend money just to get anything done (even getting your vital needs covered), but richest peoples aren't necessarily going to spend their money on everywhere even if they got a lot of them. And also, there aren't many rich peoples on Earth keeping their millions after millions of cash, and even less of those who are actually willing to donate a lot of money. These then extends the gap between riches and poors. In that case, rich guys get richer and poor dudes get even poorer the longer the gap gets. This makes difficult for the latter to get rich, especially when heritage plays a big part on how much money and knowledge you might have as a result no matter how hard or smart you work. This is one of the inherent flaws of capitalism. Until capitalism evolves into a better system, the real life will have you to think on how you should spend your hard-earned money and you still have to work all the time for the next 50 or so years so you can guarantee your survival.
Although the capitalism system is also in place on TBT in form of bells, you can thankfully afford to spend more carelessly without too much regret. There's not really a danger on running out of bells, as most of the virtual collectibles are there for show rather than being useful as well. And that you can still get anything you want from any game if you simply put an extra effort to find them for less or even free. I do wish that there are more incentive to spend my bells rather than mostly relying on users.
this. it's just virtual currency in the end.
whHAT DO U MEAN U HAVE 15k TBT BELLS IM SO JEALOUS!!!1!!!!1!!1!1!
There are literally people who value TBT bells and collectibles higher than real life currency. They'll be like "And don't even bother offering a $40 game for this collectible because it's worth more than that" I just...

LMAO I'm with you there. I don't understand why some people are so obsessed with collectibles/TBT but I guess it's a game within a game (inception anyone?). In the end the amount of TBT anyone has doesn't mean s**t other than 1) amount of time spent here 2) amount of effort spent here. I guess they want acknowledgement for their efforts/time
That's what I thought too!
Once you get all of the stuff you want, then you just endup gathering a bunch of TBT. XD
