It'll drop, especially if you have senioritis.
Bling_bling_Angel
And what the hell is that?
Quistis88
Heh. I think I got senioritis for a little bit. Well, that one part where my Math mark wasn't so hot. mellow.gif Not fun.

current angry thought: dammit, why are the hagaren manga and anime so discrepant of one another?!! *demands to know the real reason behind the ishbal incident that martel started to explain in episode 39 but was never mentioned in the manga!!!*

Thoughts:
- If my topic title were true, I'd be bankrupt by now. mellow.gif Just goes to show how much you all care for me. tongue.gif
- Hmm, thinking about creating an LJ account. biggrin.gif;; Internet's going tobe the death of me one of these days.
- KxA fic isn't working out exactly as I planned...
- The most popular topic in this thread seems to be school and grades. (<-- observant, aren't I?)

What type of currency is the money you owe us in? It's probably something that's so devalued that doesn't matter anymore or isn't even recognized by any bank like some obscure national currency in Africa.

Thoughts:

- I think having an angst topic will be nice for those just needing a little pick me up.
- I have to get back to work on a couple of databases for a few small projects - I really don't feel like it. I'll probably just loiter around online while I work on them tongue.gif
Omakase Shimasu
Euro. biggrin.gif And I have no idea how much I owe you guys right now (if I hadn't been so clever as to add to the topic description tongue.gif) since this thing's become HUGE. mellow.gif


Thoughts:
- An angst topic, solely devoted to angst. ph34r.gif Bring out the suicide notes...
- Oh, topic about Shortness has been revived. ^^v
- Mike, Vic and Travis are too much alike. @.@ No, wait, Vic and Travis (sans Mike) are too much alike! Hehe, the irony - if I can call it that.
ἀρχή
It's more pseudo-angst. If you want real angst, go to a hospital and get committed tongue.gif

That was a clever disclaimer. I'll have to talk to my lawyer about it.
Omakase Shimasu
laugh.gif You wish you could get rid of me that easily. tongue.gif

biggrin.gif Yes, I can be terribly sneaky if I want to.

- note to self: go back to college, get degree in nuclear physics, nuke LA

- @Kihaku: I know. sad.gif It's awful when it doesn't even scratch the surface of your original plot... Will have to try again and again until it does work though! ><
- Just had a mental image of Roy and Ed on a bicycle... How cute. ^^
- I've got this song stuck in my head and it won't get out... It's a church-song. Beautiful but... annoying. ^^;;

Have the mods begun any anti-n00b progams yet?
I read some interesting proposals here and there..(mostly in this thread) wink.gif.
I hope some will be put into effect.

@Hitokiri: How long do you have to be in LA?

Good people always help newbies, to make them good newbies. Yay. (We believe that is the truth of the forum, when we are online.)

- i have to fly to LA tomarrow for work.
- I HATE LA: too much sun, horrible west coast pizza, people who are happy for no damned reason, people don't understand the proper usage of the word dude, morons who think acting is a real skill, and those crappy ass losers with ponytails.
- note to self: go back to college, get degree in nuclear physics, nuke LA
- damnit now i'm ahead of schedule on my daily son-of-a-bitchness....

@hitokiri: You think you have it bad? I LIVE in LA! Just tell me when you're going to launch the nuke so I can deport my family out of here.

- Eyes have been burning all day. I don't have contacts so I don't know what's wrong with them.
- There's an Ambassadors/Community of Caring meeting I need to go it in...30 minutes.
- Must get FAFSA/PROFILE/financial aid business done.
- Must talk to my counselor.
- Must study for Physics test--it's tomorrow and the teacher wasn't even here today to finish up the questions. Hopefully we can get the test postponed, but I'm taking no chances...cramming begins at 9 pm tonight.

- go yell at the incompetents at the LA office for making me come out there around noon
- meet with potential clients at 2, hopefully get them drunk and secure the account by 4
- grab a flight out around 5
- get back to NYC around 10-11
- reach my apartment and take shower to get taint of LA off me by no later than 12

I read some interesting proposals here and there..(mostly in this thread) .
I hope some will be put into effect.

I'm actually thinking of doing something now, but if you have some suggestions, I would love to hear them.

Current Thoughts:

- Just got home from lunch.
- I came on here this morning and I couldn't believe the clutter.
- WHY DO PEOPLE NOT NOTICE THE SEARCH FEATURE!?
love_me_destroyer
I have a suggestion. BOYCOTT SC!!!!! Turn in into the nOOB concentration camp....Did I say concentration? I meant happy, super fun, sunny smiley camps.*

If we boycott, we would be making all other areas of the forum more susceptible to spam, especially OC. And people get mad at us for making things all Nazi-like.

It's too bad you can't let the members help police it more. Either by just letting you (the mod squad) know about issues that are around (double posts, duplicate threads, etc...). This way you don't have to kill yourself trying to find it and then getting frustrated when you do find them (you prepare yourself ahead of time for the problems)

Other than that, create a big banner that you just stick into the thread so everyone sees it when you close it out, merge or whatever.
love_me_destroyer
Yeah, If WE just stay out of SC, then they wont bother us. They'll just converse amongst themselves.

We do let the members help, since no one ever said you couldn't. smile.gif Riza Babe has PMed me with trouble spots more often than not, and has been a big help. So, the "good forum samarian" position is open for anyone who can assist us with upholding forum procedures.

Right this moment, I'm working on a small guide that I will post and pin up in Spam Central and perhaps Open Chat as well, in hopes that people will actually read it and follow what it has to say.
love_me_destroyer
Oh, is there a way to NOT be tattle-tales and still help out with SC?
ἀρχή
That's true, we can just PM you. I just hate PMing anyone unless they've said they don't mind a PM. I guess it's my internet recluse showing through tongue.gif
Quistis88
Newbies PM me (and many others) all the time, so I'm sure it'll be a pleasant surprise if the older members PM as well. And I'm certain that us mods would not mind these helpful PMs. smile.gif
ἀρχή
Let me just slip into Spammer mode ph34r.gif

Ok, now it's time to PM the life out of this place tongue.gif

Just kidding.
Quistis88
Haha. laugh.gif Don't make me come after you. tongue.gif

Current Thoughts:

- Still typing up that guide. It's turning into a tourist brochure, almost. Would anyone actually read that?
- I'm not hungry . . .
xrninja
whoa! what happened to the forum layout? ph34r.gif
Quistis88
Server move, I'm assuming. There's going to be one soon, if it hasn't already happened. smile.gif
love_me_destroyer
whoa! this new format SUCKS!
mei_tenshi
It's not that bad...just takes a little getting used to.

- Still at the disoriented stage. Feels weird.
- Hungry.
- When's dinner?
- Maybe I'll have a pre-dinner meal.
Cloud28
i don't like this layout either..its making me load longer!!!(what could be the problem? i have 3.0mps cable?) mad.gif
Quistis88
Current Thoughts:

- I do prefer the old layout (does the old one cost less as well?).
- This will take some getting used to.
- Will it stay like this for a long time now?
hitokiri
the new layout lacks the goto first unread feature, that and why did they transpose the add reply and fast reply?

edit: and the edit, report, and quote buttons are on the bottom now.

if this is indeed the same company but with a different layout i would have to say that they have to worst common sense ever. why would any sane company basically invert their entire layout for now reason, and with no benefits.

also wtf is this IPB Image supposed to be/mean?!
mei_tenshi
Huh. So they did.

- Must explore new layout further.
Quistis88
And I just figured out that if you want to quote someone, you can't click the "QUOTE" thing anymore, but rather, the "REPLY" button of that particular post.
