New Forums
Aside from those mentioned earlier, minor changes in the off-topic [video games] discussion have been made.

[Winter]

I'm curious. Did you prefer green to blue when I was changing the colors? Maybe consider using the navy for Super Mods that I originally had for co-administrators? Though it's up to you. The user titles are cool also.

[Brandon]

Why can't we just stay with a color and not mess with it?

More people The Few Members Who Come Here Everyday will get confused as we change the colors.

holy shit. my color is all..O___O;; XD!

[FreezeWarp]

Navy for mods? I like it. Done.

Edit:

Well, sooner or later we'll settle.

What people? I thought we were dead : p

Oh, I'm sorry. I'll edit it.

[Winter]

Oh, I'm sorry. I'll edit it.

You didn't have to, I was just messing around obscurely jabbing at those who claim we're dead.

[FreezeWarp]

We are dead!!!! Though, we can improve.

[Winter]

Indeed. I wouldn't have bought the camera I did if I thought there was no hope.

[Brandon]

It was sarcasm. :P

[Shiny Espeon]

I've noticed the changes...and instead of actual time describing something, we now have how many days or minutes ago a post was made. I like that better. :P

Anyway, can we please have a general forum back?

Actually our games forum is our general forum, and no one really posts games anymore (it's pointless to have them). So I'll change the name.

Edit: Done... Everything Else can be for random news headlines, some debates (mainly avoiding politics and religion), and other things.

[Shiny Espeon]

Mmmkay cool. Thanks.

[Winter]

Things are still being tweaked at the moment. We're trying to see which is best for not cluttering up the forums.

[Brandon]

I didn't know where to post this, so whatever.

I think it's BS that members shouldn't use chat speak. It's the way the talk, and I don't think they should change, jsut becuase they are a member of this forum. Hey, I've used chat speak before, and I still do when I talk to friends. I just think it's wrong for people to change just to be a member of this forum. I don't care if you don't like it, I don't think it should be a new rule. It's BS.

[FreezeWarp]

Hm... This would be a good time to have nick, majority would rule either way. Okay, I'll implement it if SE thinks it should be a rule, she will be the tie-breaker (hope its okay if I call you that).

[Pokemaster]

I'd have to agree with Brandon. It's pointless to make some people change the way they are used to typing just to correspond with everyone else.

[Brandon]

It's fine. I just don't want people to think they have to change, just to be a member of this forum.

[FreezeWarp]

Note to self: in the future, make sure there are always an even number of mods and an odd number of admins or vice-versa. Actually, the reason I thought this should be a rule is because a while back it was going to be one.

[Shiny Espeon]

Too much chatspeak is bad. Seriously, I hate seeing stuff like this anywhere but my texts OR for comical relief:

"L0L11 so how u doin????"

>_>

I do have to agree with you, but I mean, being banned or infracted for using "too" much chat speak is going over the top, don't you think?

[Shiny Espeon]

I personally don't think it is. A forum is a place for...smart conversation. When somebody posts a post full of chatspeak, I automatically think of that person as a nub. :/

[FreezeWarp]

Heh, this outa be good. I love it when there's an educated argument, it reminds me why we're mods (:D). Anyway, I defiantly don't think it should be excessive. I would have to say that extreme cases would be worthy of a certain amount of infractions, even if it is:

Title: Constant Chat Speak
Worth: 1 point
Expires: 1 week

though I would like it to be a level two infraction:
Title: Constant Chat Speak
Worth: 2 points
Expires: 1 month

[Pokemaster]

I agree with Brandon on this matter. Most people are used to typing in chatspeak. They shouldn't have to change just to work along with the people on this forum. I mean, I could understand if it were something like: "Hey, wat r u ^ 2?" that would be different. But constant chatspeak shouldn't be that big of a problem either, is it?

[Brandon]

I have an idea. How about that we try this out, and if it doesn't work out, then we won't use it, but if it does, then we'll use it. Sound like a good idea?

[Shiny Espeon]

That sounds pretty reasonable. ^^

[Brandon]

Mmkay. I've been gone for a bit, someone fill me in with details about what happened to this place?

[Shiny Espeon]

Meh, Jared got a name change (Shadowtaco for some reason) and, I think that's it. o.o

Hiya btw, lol!

Hm. I noticed that. he sent me a PM saying he wanted to be friends.
Ahaahaha. :)

[Shiny Espeon]

He's weird at times, lol. I just gave him a 2-point infraction for spamming...if somebody infracts him again, he'll be banned.

[FreezeWarp]

He's been banned how many times? 2 already if I'm not mistaken? Oh boy, he'll never learn, though where'd he spam?

[Shiny Espeon]

The "What are you listening to?" thread. He didn't post a song, and I'm tired of his spamming.
