or is it still a bit of both, like it always has been (i'm hoping for this answer).

I thought the plan was to stop posting useless stats like 1,234 b/p points, level ups below level 9, whistle ranks (unless gold or deity), post counts, and clean up the spam as needed. I could be wrong though...

I believe that the guidelines for stat posting are still under discussion. There have been many suggestions for them, but nothing concrete has been agreed upon. For now, I'm going to stick with major accomplishments only, just to be on the safe side.

in a sarcasticly emo thread, i posted the lyrics to "Crawling" by Linkin Park.
Now, despite the fact that it was a massive spam topic, people posting in all caps, etc.
Somehow.. i was the only one who managed to get banned (i know nobody else did because i asked one of the modddddddds if he/she thought my ban was soft ot not.. which he/she agreed that it was).

Alright, that sounds much better then what it was before. Though i guess this is a few days late, i did manage to his 24000 bp points the other day, but was unable to post due to.... yea... what i said above.

If non-NG stats are in the criteria now, I have an interesting one for you. I've been in 3 life threatening situations in the past month. Well, 2, the second one was really just a large inconvenience, not really life threatening.

First, I got hit by a car. I was not at fault, I was simply walking across the street when some guy decided to come from behind a bus and speed through a red light. I jumped before he hit me, broke through his windshield, then rolled off his hood and onto the pavement. A few cuts and bruises, but really not bad. Could have been much worse.

Secondly, I was out hacking in the sun too long and got sun stroke. Don't know why, but my body is messed like that and I always get it every year. Like I said, not life threatening, but still quite a pain in the ass.

Finally, while coming home from one of my classes, I was jumped by two guys. I had been sparring for like 45 minutes straight in my class, so my body was already pretty taxed. Luckily, I still had it in me to pull off some of my better moves (lol) and get away with no more than a cut and a few bruises. This one was pretty ugly. I broke the first guy's nose. Then the second guy got angry, pulled a knife, and managed to slice me through my jacket. Then I managed to break his arm and jaw, and took off. Luckily I caught a bus when I got to the street, but they were still on the ground when they left my sight.

Yep, at this point I'd almost entertain the thought that some higher power wants me dead. Yet, I still seem to have a little luck on my hands. My backpack took most of the abuse of going through the windshield, and my jacket proved to be quite difficult to cut through. It seems more likely this higher power is just fucking with me. Kinda like that one friend who would always push you and then grab you whenever you stood on the edge of a stair, or other.

Now to stay on topic, uh...I deposited yesterday for the first time in a long time. Go 10 experience points...

Despite your prolonged absence from the forum it's nice to know you're still in one piece. Awesome story _redrum_ (I like storytime), but did you know that in the military sunstroke can be considered a self-inflicted wound? Technically you almost killed yourself. Ever had frostbite?

Well I'm wore out from a long week of school and stuff.
So Congratz to everyone.

Here is what I have to offer.

yah man, it isn't completely fagged up XD, let's go 700 on this place, post random conversations and make mass ... quote posts that are like about as long as one whole page in some general threads XD

Is it me or are you hacking into people's accounts for the sake of depositing? :O

Uh, that one was a WiHt? community account somebody created, but recently i've just gone an taken care of it, giving it usually 1-5 b/s points when depositing, and getting the points everyday :)

Hey Alcador, I love that "War for the Portal" story. I was wondering if I could be in it as well??

You might have a better chance if you spell his name correctly next time (lol).

I have to post it somewhere... my 1000th post!

WEEE... good times. I'm gonna savor this for awhile :D

Didn't you just hit 8000, like, less than three weeks ago? O_o And here we are calling Bonus a spammer.

Anyway, I hope you weren't too hard on j00bie back there :(

BEST KIND OF RANK UP EVER

Seriously, why? He gets off his ban, and makes a bunch of crap clubs just to piss her off. It's bullshit.

Well, he's been used to the SS forums for the past month or so. If you haven't seen them, well, I guess the only way to describe it would be to take General Forum, multiply it by spamclub.tk and increase it exponentially. But he's not doing it to piss anyone off, he's doing it for the love of spam.

I guess there's really no reason to be easy on him. It's just the fact that I've only been back for a month or so after being gone for about 7 months and the j00bie I remember was a mature, model poster. Oh well. . .

Isn't it hilarious when users change their opinions faster than you can blink just so they can kiss more mod ass. Way to play both sides of the fence bud.

Whe a mod is angry looking and swearing, the best thing to do is drop all opinions you have, smile and nod, and slowly back away. I'm not trying to kiss ass here, I just don't want to piss any mods off moreso than they already are.

Maus scares me when she's angry

Haha, are you kidding, Recon? I live in Winnipeg. I grew up in a tiny town even colder than Winnipeg. I've had frostbite more times than I'd care to recollect, save that they were all pretty shitty experiences. Having a face that looks like one big bruise isn't fun -.-.

My apologies, I forgot my congrats to Bonus in that last post. Happy birthday, Bonus. Best rank up of the year, wouldn't you agree?

Congrats to:

ramagi: 9,000 posts. That's an awful lot.
food1: 1,000 posts. It's really fun to hit that 4 digit number.
Bonusstage: 16 years of age. Happy birthday!

Congrats to Bonus for 16 years. Hard work you've done there, keep it up!!
Ramagi for 9k posts!
Do I remmember you with 1000? I can't tell...

Umm, well I have an unrelated question: How long does it takes approximately to submit a 3.5mb flash? If someone here has a flash, I'd like to know how long it took to submit it since the pressing of the submit button. Thanks!

Mmmm. Yeah, sometimes I feel I'm not really contributing anything useful to a thread with a post, but then, it's OK even if it's just random chatter, isn't it? That's what a BBS is about, after all. ^.^

Holy snap 300%+ in blams favor, well i hope you've gotten all the recent saves these days, they are like popping out of nowhere :O.

I've gotten a number, and my blam/save ratio did increase in recent days, too, yes. Of course, it still would be nice to have some more... >_>

I feel so pressured now. Here's the deal: I can't stick anymore people into Part 4, but I'll ensure your name will come up in the future. You'll find out soon enough.

Anyway, it's good to see _redruM_ make a post or two in here (despite how scary the first one was) and a sigh goes on my face to j00bie.

Questions
What has been decided about the posts in this lounge?

Don't ask him - I have the distinct feeling that the answer would be TMI. ^.^

What has been decided about the posts in this lounge?

So far, nothing really. There's been some talk, but no definite decision, even though there seems to be a consensus for "it would be nice if you only posted major accomplishments, not minor stuff, kthx".

How is everyone?

Tired and hungry. >_>

Meh, it doesn't really matter.

If you get an injection, try to relax as much as possible - it usually does make it less painful. I'm not sure whether the advice really helps, since it's usually the prospect of pain that causes people to go tense, but... do give it a try. It really works.

I was calm. Infact, I was very tired then, so the needles weren't worrying me much. O_O

Well, the issue isn't a HUGE deal anymore. This topic will only be as good as those who post in it regularily. I think adding some non-stat related discussion in our posts in here will make more people feel comfortable. I still read this topic, even though I skip over most of the stat talk. There are a lot of people who do love stats, and I guess this is just their haven. I know it's nice to have a place on NG that people can post their accompishments, but it's just hard sharing the topic with the lounge as well. It's been working for over 2 years, so you can't teach old dogs new tricks, eh? :-)
