Thanksgiving is coming up soon. To those who celebrate it, Happy Turkey Day! I'm going to gain 30 lbs probably pigging out.
Remember, remember, the 5th of November. I have to watch V for Vendetta again.
Hey all. I'm going to post here something serious, though yes, I realize once again this is the Spam Zone. Most of you check out this area more than any other so it's fair game at the moment. Please read this and I hope we all will try to quell the drama and tensions that are going on together. Lately, few people seem to be following the rules and yet some members are saying the staff is doing nothing about trolls and troublemakers. Maybe if I explain a bit more in detail on the rules, it will help. We want to stop troublemakers and trolls when they start things up. If you see threads that are suspicious or flaming, receive nasty messages in PM or pictures etc, PLEASE report the thread and/or forward that PM to a staff member so that we can help you asap. If you can help it, please do not draw others in or send a PM to someone else who will hop in and 'defend your honor'. By doing so, you involve other members who can only in their power PM the person back with threatening and flaming messages. This has never helped the situation and it makes it hard for staff members to decide what to fairly do about the scenario because some of the flaming messages or posts in threads by members are even worse than what the original person did. Backseat modding is not helpful either. Some members will harass others and tell them where to put threads, say their ideas are stupid, or they will accuse someone who shows up as being another member that was formerly banned. This -seriously- impedes progress of staff helping members, both new and old. You may not think so, but we are not half as harsh over small things and I believe personally all members deserve some respect. If you suspect someone of being a former banned member, please follow the rules and PM a staff member and we -will- check into it. You don't have to tell others so they react because again, all backseat mods can do is flame others and challenge them. Do you want honest help or just to let some people here go to town on someone that could potentially be just a new person that is looking for somewhere to chat? I'm really kind of tired of backseat modding and will start being more aggressive towards it as I see it. It's not right for some members to feel they are above others when the staff ourselves do not consider ourselves to be so and yet we have the ability to do more than just attack people with lameness. The last thing that bugs me is when members say the staff members are not doing their jobs. When backseat mods take over things because we are not even told of the situation, we have to fix up a mess that is 10x larger than it was to begin with. We want your help but the rules were designed to make it so there are not too many chiefs around so that others feel humiliated or afraid to even speak out without fear that someone is going to say something rotten to them every other day because that person doesn't 'like' them. Everyone currently on staff really tries to work with you. We aren't trying to be above you. The rules in place are there for us -all- to follow and if staff breaks those rules, we are also in some deep doodoo. Basically, please have consideration for each other and realize that this is not school and we don't need gangs, groups (other than those forum groups we get now) and cliques here. If you suspect something is off about a member, PM a staff member and be assured we will check into things and watch things. Think about it this way. What if someone is not as bad as you -think- he/she is? There are some members here who can easily attest to when they joined and they were treated poorly because of a couple innocent blunders. I don't think all new people should feel so unwelcome here or that they need an 'initiation' period before others get off their backs. Are some people that come here in the beginning rotten? Yes. However, to make sure this is the case, please try working with us and PM us instead of challenging the people outright. Sometimes the challenges -make- people do rotten things because they have been incited to do them. Consider this. I hope you will all take the time to read it though I know it's a drag to do so. I want us to all be understood and to see what's going on truly because I think KH-Vids has had enough drama to last us a while. You are all awesome to me and even if some members aren't crazy about me, I really can't think of a single person here that I cannot stand or would not try to help out if you are in a fix. Let's be cool here and try to work together because staff isn't on an ego trip and nor are many members. We don't need this fighting and pettiness to bring us all down. We can all make this site a great place to be or we can rip into each other at every opportunity and make others who don't want to deal with it leave. I'm not so into the second option and hope others aren't either.
So, I'm debating if I should go back to being Repliku or keeping L for a longer time. It's such a decision. So totally help me out here dudes and dudettes!
Help with Life Guideline The purpose of the Help with Life section is to assist one another with our daily strife issues, some bad things that happen, etc. Hopefully, people can help one another in the end to take on a new day with better meaning and motivation. The forums though is PG-13. Keeping this in mind, members need to post within these parameters. This is not an area to post the following: 1. Suicide threats - We simply cannot do much for you if you feel you are going to commit suicide. Do not post these threads please. It's one thing if you are depressed, but it's another to make a suicide letter where members feel desperate to do something but do not know if they can or not. Whether you like it or not, flat out, suicide threats are selfish and bring on a world of hurt to many people other than just you. Suggestion: - if you feel that you are very depressed and troubled, this section was made so that we could assist with coming up with solutions other than suicide as an option. Please post what the problems are so that we can help you address them instead of a suicide note. This will put you in a better mental frame and also allow others to take the problem serious but not make others stressed as well. Come here to post with having another resolution desired and perhaps you will get one. 2. Threads that condone violence - Basically, no threads pertaining to beating the snot out of someone, crippling someone or worse. Also, do not make suggestions that encourage someone to do an act that would get anyone sent to a Detention Home or prison. Suggestion: Encourage people dealing with aggressive others to seek out assistance, stand up for themselves, etc. If you've done some violent act, we don't need to know about it. All we could suggest is that you do the right thing and come forward to who matters in your life. 3. No Graphic Sexual Threads - If something traumatic has happened to you, you can post about it but watch how graphic you go and do not get explicit with things. We can attempt to help someone but we are not psychiatrists here so please consider this. Suggestion: If you wish to talk to someone, ask in a thread if someone who is an adult will talk with you in PM in regards to your situation. Perhaps legally and mentally they can offer more support and it keeps the site rating where it is. Basically, in the end, this area is a place where all of us can vent, talk important issues out and help others to come up with solutions that are the most positive decisions we can muster. If something is -very- serious, we simply may not be able to help you and you may require professional help or assistance from parents, a school counselor or some trusted person in your life. If you really need someone to talk to over a very dire circumstance, some of us such as CtR or me are adults and we may be able to assist you with issues that are severe. However, again, we are not psychiatrists so we can only aid you so much. Basically, don't expect miracles here. We all do our best and everyone so far has taken this section seriously, so we don't have many smartasses who put others down. If you have any questions regarding what is appropriate or not, feel free to PM a member of staff and we will be glad to aid you. A rule specifically for here as well. 1. On Threads that Declare Poster Will Aid Others Who Post Problems There Do not do these. Most people know not to post threads that ask others to post in them so that the person can respond to the problems and issues. The Help with Life area is NOT about a person with no problems who wants to help others. Each thread made pertains to someone who WANTS assistance. This person could care less who he/she gets help from so stop making threads that are self-absorbed so that someone would feel compelled to post there. Suggestion: This is not a Dear Abby column where anyone merits that kind of attention or recognition for aiding others in your own thread. If you wish to help, PLEASE do so, but in the threads that already exist. Anyone who seriously spends time aiding others is appreciated. Just please do not feel compelled to make a thread yourself that is for general aid. You won't have all the answers and one person's opinion is not better than several.
FAQs and Guides Sub-Forum The Purpose - This area follows the standard rules for the KH Section. Members can choose to write up game FAQ for any of the KH games and they can be posted here. If you have questions about the games, please post in the Help area instead of here. No Plagiarism - Ensure that the work is YOUR work or that you have asked permission from the original creator of the work before posting it here and properly give that person credit. Work that is found to not be of the creator of the thread and not credited will be deleted. Legible Help - Please ensure that you write with proper grammar and spelling. Make sure the guide is neat and can be read easily or it will be removed from here as it will just make people who might want to use the help more confused.

Boosting Drop Rates with Lucky Lucky To help yourself boost the drop rates that are in parentheses above, make sure Sora and his party are equipped with Lucky Lucky and some weapons that have it naturally to them. This really makes gathering items much easier for Synthesis. Each Lucky Lucky I believe increases the drop rate by 1/3rd what it is listed at. Equip the Lucky Lucky abiity on Sora, Donald and Goofy, or whoever is in your party. Use Sweet Memories which has it auto-equipped. Meteor Staff for Donald has it equipped. Genji Shield for Goofy has it equipped. Item Ring - equip this as well which is won after the Pain and Panic Cup is defeated.

The Emmi Caffe Latte Mocha I bought at the grocery store to try says this as how they make the coffee on the back: Arabica Coffee from India - Malabar coffee beans grow on teh West coast of India, around Mangalore. After harvest, the beans are exposed to monsoon rains for several days to moisten them. They are then dried for several weeks, in the monsoon winds giving the coffee it's unique mild taste. They put nature and bad storms to good use. How inventive.
The world is not going to end tomorrow, guys. For real. A lot of you are panicking, while others see it for the lame sauce the claim is, and I want you to know the 'facts' here. There are some doomsayers out there who are predicting things and making up illogical and unfounded numbers to confuse and play with people's minds. It's simply not true and I wouldn't be posting this if I felt that some of you weren't actually rather scared. The facts here: When the LH Collider goes on, two beams of particles race towards each other and will meet after crossing a pretty good distance. There is a chance through this study that 'micro' black holes could be created at varying times, but they are so tiny that you couldn't even 'see' one of them, which is why they are called 'microscopic'. Also, they would be so weak they would collapse in less than a nanosecond. The threat of these micro blackholes is less than the threat we face all the time from radiation and particles hitting our atmosphere, which happens -all the time-. People all around (not just here) are exaggerating for attention, some because they don't research and hearing the word 'blackhole' freaks them out, some for maliciousness, some who just are joking because others are foolishly doing this and believe in it, etc. There will always be doomsayers out there who try to make declarations that an absolute time of our earth's destruction can be ascertained. Don't fall for it please. I will hope people lighten up here and take it for the joke it is. You'll still be here tomorrow and if you want to ask questions here because you are freaked out, feel free. My apologies for the essay in the spam zone! Maybe this will prevent the apocalypse.
DN GAME GUIDELINE. ROUND 13 Prologue: L has been on the trail of the Kira. The only problem is that the Kira seems to change and even as they stop one maniacal despotic human with a god complex, the Death Note itself seems to always slip out of the grasp of the good detectives' hands and ends up with yet another person who evolves to become the new Kira. This, of course, means that the most brilliant minds in law enforcement must come together to stop this epidemic of murder. L has gathered these most competent people but sadly, the Kira is no fool either and somehow always manages to get into the ranks of the detectives. The Kira's mission is to take out the detectives that try to thwart his/her moves so he/she can go on a killing spree unhindered. The detectives' mission is clear: Catch the Kira before you are taken out from one of your very own members on the team and bring Kira to justice. :lol2: Below are the rules for The Death Note Game. Please make sure to read them so that we can all be on the same page before you begin playing. Players in the game consist of anyone who posts in the thread at roll call for a new game or during a round. This game was a creation by ICSP so he gets credit for its design and being the founder. Pyro and I take credit in mutating it further. These rules will be updated as will the Round number every time a new game starts so no one has to scroll through and search. Please don't make us have to add more rules. *whine*. The Shinigami The Shinigami is the one person in the game that will know what the detectives and the kira and accomplices are doing at any moment. Accusations as well as deaths are reported by the Shinigami to the thread. Repliku is the Shinigami this round. The Shinigami chooses a Kira and cannot be the Kira him/herself, so do not waste time with accusing the Shinigami unless you want a humorous ending. :guiltygearXpc37: *The Shinigami is a neutral party monitoring over the game and will not aid the Kira in covering tracks but also will not aid the detectives with their investigations either. Probably, the Shinigami will be a pain in the arse to both parties instead. * The Shinigami likes fruit. Particularly apples and peaches. Apple dippers and apple chips are delicious too. Shinigami Eyes To make it clear what Shinigami Eyes is, an explanation is provided here. * If one full day goes by and no accusations are made, the Kira will be granted Shinigami Eyes to kill one person of the Kira's choice. If 2 days pass, the Kira gets 2 kills the following day and if a third day passes by, the Kira gets 3 kills with Shinigami Eyes. * It is -very- important that members who have Death Notes or pages inform the Shinigami as they get the items and also that the Kira communicates with the Shinigami when passing them out. This way I know who has a real DN and fake etc. Also, if you use a -page- of the DN you are given, to not be caught with it later if you are accused, you must declare getting rid of it after. * The Shinigami may have to inquire the real first names of players since part of the rules of the game is that the Kira may 'kill' using them. Please, if you would, respond to PMs when inquired as soon as you see them. If you do not and you are going to make an accusation, it will not be counted! Also, the Shinigami will post deaths in Pacific Standard time unless declared otherwise. * In some games, there may be more than one Shinigami. This also means there may be more than one Kira. Every Shinigami comes equipped with a Death Note of his/her own and also one that is given to the Kira. The Shinigamis may each know who the Kiras are (or not if they want sport against each other) but they will not inform the Kiras who the other is. The Kira always reports kills and convo only to his/her Shinigami; not the one or two others that may be present. The Dead You can 'die' in this game by 3 through the following methods. 1. The Kira figures out your first true name. This will be contained in the Death Note the Kira writes to the book aka PMs to the Shinigami. 2. The detective accuses a suspect that turns out to not be the Kira. 3. The Kira gains Shinigami Eyes. * Dead people in the game cannot give out clues whether in the topic thread here or through PM or by IM. Those who are dead should not post frequently but are allowed to post some because well, they get bored. Just NO GIVING CLUES OUT!! Doing so will eliminate you from playing in the next Round. * The 'dead' may go ahead and post in another thread made called 'The Graveyard...' The link is http://www.kh-vids.net/showthread.php?t=59965 . Please still in this thread do not discuss openly your suspicions on who the Kira is. Accusers/Detectives Anyone who is in the game and who is not the Kira is a detective. However, the Kira has infiltrated the detective group and you cops know it. Figuring out who the Kira is happens to be your mission as you try to keep yourselves alive. :ninjacat: * Those who accuse someone of being the Kira may do so once as a freebie. This puts you in danger though of becoming a victim to the Kira, if you are mistaken. All people who join the game are considered detectives or accusers and there will be one or sometimes two kiras lurking in their midst which you must ferret out. * You have ONE freebie where you do not have to provide evidence for your accusation. However, if you make a second accusation because the Kira hasn't killed you off, you must provide clear and concise evidence to back up why you are accusing the new person. If you get to for some reason accuse a 3rd time, etc, the same rule here applies. * An amendment to the rule above. If there are less than 13 members on the list of players, to make things more difficult :) players will be required to present evidence when accusing someone the first time. If the member list is small for the round, it grants that detectives have to study a bit more and find an actual reason to accuse someone of being the Kira so the list isn't knocked out too soon. * Remember that just because someone says he/she is not the Kira does not mean the person is innocent. The Kira is of course capable of lying and messing with your heads. The Kira may also make accusations and is basically going to often try to play the role of detective. * Detectives are responsible for maintaining their lists of people that are alive, dead, accused, suspicious etc. There will be a post also here of some of that information, but do not depend on it as the Shinigami will only put on the list those who are members of the Round, those accused and those who have died. Also, it may not be updated as frequently as the detective lists. The Kira One (or two if the Shinagami is bored) Kira will be chosen to begin the game by the Shinigami PM'ing that person, or the Shinigami requesting those interested to PM him/her, and the person has the right to except or deny the role. If you happen to not know what the Kira is, it's the killer. :registro5B15D: * The Kira can only use the Death Note on people in the list here that are playing. This means you cannot have a kill that is someone else outside the game here. * The Kira can kill using the 3 methods described above but may of course not use Shinigami Eyes until the Shinigami gives the go ahead. *The Kira may choose at any time to pass on the Death Note to another player in the game. However, the Shinigami MUST be informed of the intent to do so and if the Misa/Mikami accepts or not. * The Kira may hand out a page of the Death Note to be used by someone else. However, again, the Shinigami must know of the action. No more than 1 person at any time may have the Notebook. No more than one person may be given a page out of the Death Note. Giving out a page though means the Kira still possesses the Notebook. If you have a page or more of the DN and do not declare you get rid of it after or before using it, you will be discovered with it if you are accused of being the Kira. * The Kira must kill at least one person per day. Just as the Shinigami Eyes may be granted to the Kira in order to kill someone as a freebie if detectives fail to come up with a suspect, the Shinigami will also stab the Kira in the back if the Kira fails to do his/her job. The Shinigami may react by giving out a clue as to who the Kira may be if no deaths occur within a day's time. *On Names - The Kira may kill those on the list by knowing the person's true first name. A nickname does not count and the Shinigami of the time may need to verify the true name with the member before the kill is approved. There are various ways to find out people's first names such as browsing around the forums or asking the person, though either way may give clues to who the Kira really is. The Kira may only kill 2 people by true first name on the first day. If the Kira uses only 1 death this way or no deaths by name, the Kira gains 3 kills by name on the second day. If the Kira kills on the next day and does not use up all kills by name, again, 1 bonus name kill follows to the following day and so on. This rule is implemented since a few potential kiras know quite a few names and it makes it so they cannot take out a majority of the detectives in one fell swoop. * On Fake Death Notes. Only a Kira or former Kira of the same round may hand out fake Death Notes. These are duplicate notebooks that basically do nothing but resemble the Death Note. There are no magical properties to them. It is possible to get the Shinigami to pass out fake DNs but a clue may be given about the Kira for the favor. * The Kira may NOT bring in people from outside of the game to use as Misa/Mikamis or accomplices. Only the people who post in the thread are considered to be playing and are therefore eligible for negotiations of this sort. This means that the Kira must choose within the group that is already there and not coerce someone to join to become the assistant or new Kira. Failure to comply with this rule will result in some nasty thing happening from the Shinigami. * If a Kira/Misa is caught with a portion of the Death Note (a page or more), the person may be held in jail for 1 to 3 days for investigation. During the time held, the Kira/Misa cannot have contact with any associates to order kills etc. The Death Note can only be used by the other person(s) of their own wills. *The Kira or Misa/Mikami, to avoid being killed by the other on their 'team', or to avoid discovery by detectives etc may, if in possession of the Death Note or a page, write his/her own death scheduled for when he/she wants it. Doing this means that the player cannot be killed in any other way but by the time and way described in the Death Note, which could prolong their lives or end them sooner. Misa/Mikami The Misa/Mikami is a person entrusted by the Kira to be in his/her game. The Misa may be entrusted with the Death Note at times or given papers from the Notebook. Also he/she may be given orders to do some things for the Kira to impede detective investigations. Keep in mind the Misa/Mikami MUST be chosen by the Kira from members of the game round. :poke: * The Misa/Mikami (person given the DN by the former Kira) has 3 choices to decide, which can be conversed over with the Shinigami. 1. Accept and be loyal to the cause of Kira. 2. Turn Kira in through an accusation made in the thread. 3. Accept the Death Note and kill the former Kira immediately or sometime during the game. * If the Misa/Mikami has the Death Note, he/she may kill off the Kira, despite the former agreement of being loyal to the Kira if the Kira has a chance of ratting the Misa/Mikami out. A page of the Death Note will not work, if the Kira happens to have the Death Note, but if not, that page will work. It has to be the Death Note book. GENERAL RULE: There are 'Titles' granted to players as they solve cases or are just exquisite Kiras. These Titles are really just given to players as token things and this is not a role-playing game where people actually play out the roles of the characters in Death Note. Please do not ask for titles as they are given on merit only and attitudes that are similar to characters in Death Note. _________________________ RANKS: Here will be a tally of most cases solved, best solo Kira, best Kira/Misa team up, most inventive Kira/Misa team up, Fastest case solved, etc. Stay tuned as I tabulate this up.

Alright, a couple of people mentioned they were having trouble logging in and well, staying logged in. Here is a little help for you after I was working on assisting a member. RvR also helped me deduce some of these things. Poor Saki has been the unfortunate guinea pig. Any problems reported by members have been using Internet Explorer so we'll focus there with some ideas to help. 1. There is a version of IE through MSN, called MSN Explorer, that seems to not want to connect to the site even with cookies enabled at 'medium' which is the guideline for connecting to the site. I suggest for now, since sites mostly are set suitable to view in IE, Mozilla (such as Firefox) and Opera etc, that if you have MSN Explorer, you may want to switch back to regular IE or another browser. The problem is being looked into but that's the best option for the moment. 2. Make sure cookies are enabled. Here is a site that will help you be able to do this. http://www.google.com/cookies.html . If you have any problems after, post here and as we find out what problems there are, we'll fix this bit by bit. 3. The next suggestion is that if your Username and password are the same, please change the password to something else as the site won't allow that. 4. You may want to go to the Microsoft website and update your java 'virtual machine' to current and also ensure that IE accepts the java. I will work out directions for this once I have a solid method as I do not use IE or MSN Explorer. If your java is up to date then look on still. 5. This finally worked to get IE going right for Saki so hopefully it may be the last answer needed. I am not sure what the commands are for MSN Explorer as it seems to have no 'advanced' option but here's how it goes in Internet Explorer. Go to: tools>internet option>advanced>reset then hit close or 'ok' if the option is there and try to see if this helps. 6. Lastly, try checking some 'addons' you may have with IE that may be causing conflicts. Disable addons and then go down the list adding them one by one back and see if you can find the culprit. To view the site then, you will want to disable that addon each time you log in for the moment. Hopefully these suggestions work and at least this way we can keep track of the problems and work them out together. If there are any other issues you may have since the current updated version of VB was added that pertain to connections, freezing of a browser and such, please post here and we'll try to get you all the help we can. Please, if there's some other problem such as you don't like the top bar being scrunched in right now and other visual issues, don't post here pertaining to that as the site will need to be altered because it is a skin issue. This will be changed but there's nothing currently that is being done and what you are seeing is not an error on your end. Also, before attempting these things, if you are nervous about doing so, not being computer savvy etc, feel free to leave a post here describing your issue and I'll be happy to get with you through here or IM. I don't want anyone to be ruining their computers or anything! If nothing else works for you, you might want to lastly consider switching to another internet browser. Some options are below with safe sites to download from. Firefox - http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefo...m_medium=ppc&gclid=CILn5bORv5UCFQuwGgodRSjGQA Google Chrome - http://www.google.com/chrome/index....=en-ha-na-us-sk&utm_medium=ha&utm_term=chrome Opera - http://www.opera.com/download/ Apple Safari - http://www.apple.com/safari/download/ There are others out there but I can't recommend them as I have not given them a try or they sucked to me so yeah... I would hope that you can use a browser you are accustomed to but if you want to give some others a whirl, the list above is what's the best.

Why did he have to leave here for a week or so? Stress? It almost seems like I had done my job too well. Now I feel like there is this empty void. He must return! I will even be uh...slower on Death Notes or something.
I really don't like drama. Anyone here who knows me at all knows that I'd much rather come to the boards and do 'happy' things, chilling out with friends, and trying to make this place a better one for all of us. So, I don't write this as a -rant- but more as something for us all to consider and yes, it may be lengthy, but I ask you to read it if you would, and if you want to respond and chat it out, let's do that. I like to believe that we can repair some things even if at times we can't fix our natures that make us go and be obnoxious, rotten, thin-skinned, emotional, etc now and then. We're all prone to it. We're human. The things I'm bringing up are important to me because they harm members here, whether staff or not. In the end we are -all- members, so I ask that we all keep that in mind. Drama can never totally die off, but if you are as sick of it as I am, please read on and forgive me for a long winded essay. I love you guys or I wouldn't bother. If someone voices a rant - Well, this obviously says that something is wrong. Should the person need to do it? Are they just trying to stir the pot? In most cases I will say they aren't and are simply drawing attention to the matter that is bugging them, whether or not others want to hear it or not. The person may be angry, frustrated, upset, near tears, in tears, or even just calm and wanting to say 'this crap isn't right'. If they can at least write it so we can all understand it, we have the right to read it or move on. What should you do if someone rants? Well, respond or don't. When you respond, remember that the person on the other computer is just as real as you are. There's an issue going on and the person wants it resolved. If he/she is going about it the wrong way, feel free to say so, but keep the flaming down. They are 'venting' so obviously tossing more wood into the fire means that you are going to just make them angrier and cause more drama. - The person writing the rant - If you wrote the rant, expect some criticism. Even if you are courteous enough to leave off people's names (which you should do because we don't need flame wars), expect some people to get upset. Don't 'attack' them for it but instead debate on it. Keep in mind that the other people may not agree with you and others will. Just because someone doesn't agree doesn't mean they hate you. People who are aggressive - Consider here that you guys are being too hostile to others and it's causing pointless fights. A lot of you just want thin-skinned people to stop being wussy and suck up some pain, but it's having a counter effect and you are getting slammed for it. Think about toning down some, please and being considerate. You may not feel that person deserves it, but really, no one needs to be suffering for things they did some time ago. Let things go easier. If you don't care though, which some don't, and are just having fun poking at people, now and then that's fine. But really, don't dig a knife in and twist and turn. Have some kind of restraint. A joke is a joke. Going over the top is where things are getting bad. Thin-skinned people - you've got to toughen up and stop taking everything so seriously. You've got some deep emotions but despite that, this is a forums and most people don't -hate- each other. If someone actually does hate someone else, think on why you hate them. If a person is just an annoyance, ignore the person. If they continue to be a problem, PM a Mod, S.Mod, Admin. You will face worse in the really real world than ever here. I've been insulted quite a few times but ah well. There are some things in my nature I'm not willing to compromise despite how annoyed it may make some people. It's my choice to remain doing what I am and I accept I can't make everyone on this planet happy. You make choices too to be as you are. We've got to understand that not everyone is going to be happy with us all the time. It doesn't mean people hate you so please consider that every time you declare you -hate- someone else. Hate is a strong word and it's just not worth it to have on a forums especially. These people can't hurt you -that- bad if you don't let them. There are more controlling factors here that will step in the way than in real life. Hell, some of us face worse from our families than we will ever face here. My biggest advice to you is to try to lighten up and if you have a problem, read below and hopefully it will help you get 'better' help than you are receiving now. About Mods, S.Mods, Admins. - Guys, we're people too and just members like you but with some responsibilities. We have different personalities and cares. If you PM us, think on who you are PM'ing so that you can get the best reaction you want. If you want a straight out blunt answer that may upset you but get you to the heart of the matter, PM the ones who are stronger voiced and call themselves asses at times. :) If you want actions or opinions from others who are less blunt but still straight up, PM those people, and if you want someone sincere and who will go out of his/her way to help you, PM that sort. We're all not the same and for various situations, some of us may be better at others to handle your particular situation at the time when at another time, you may want someone else to do it. We're different, so use the difference to your advantage, if you get what I mean. The de-rep wars - Seriously, people...de-rep is meant for -you- as an individual to see a post and decide that it is a crappy post meriting the choice for you to derep. It's not high school. Members across this board have been complaining lately that they are getting ganged up on and derepped or being even derepped numerous times by one person for something that happened months ago. De-rep is NOT for revenge. It also is not for getting into high school groups and ganging up on one person to derep them as much as possible. This seriously starts off wars where others then go get their friends etc. Do we want to stop drama or raise it off of petty revenge? If someone is wrong and you feel that way, derep. Don't go get your 5 or more buddies to go in and do the same thing. Also, don't keep derepping a person over and over again because you have animosity to that person. That's not what it's about. Lastly, PLEASE those who derep...think and don't go putting someone else's name on the derep because you are too chicken to put your -own- nick there. If you aren't responsible enough to say 'I derepped you' why should someone else on the boards take the fall for you? This has been happening too much for comfort lately and wow...it's just really cold. I have never bothered with derep and prefer to just tell a person direct I think their post sucked, but derep is there for that purpose, so use it -for- that please. And don't bring some other unsuspecting member into the battle. That's really brutal and what if that person gets derepped suddenly because you did that? Do you hate that person so much you'd let them take the fall for you? Please, please please...think about it. It's really very unfair to that member. So yeah, that's what I have to say on what I see and I hope even if you can't endure the whole essay, you took away something positive. I see people now are even joking about it because the drama is just taking up too much and don't we have other crap to talk about? I sure hope so. Sorry again for the essay here but there's just no easy way to say some of these things shortly for me. Let's try though to make something work and chill on attitudes, getting offended, and well, being offensive. I sure hope the next KH games come out soon so people have more things to do and chat about. Drama only seems to crop up like this when we are lagging between things. There's an old saying of 'treat others as you wish to be treated' and I think it's really time we learned to follow that to some degree. We may have different opinions there on how we'd like to be treated but most of us don't want to be treated like crap or pitied, etc.
I'm on a mac. The keyboard really sucks and I can barely type on it but hey, otherwise it's not -so- bad. Can't wait to go home.
Hi everyone! I don't seem to get to talk in here much these days so I thought I'd say hi and chit chat some. I've been busy both on the forums and off lately. Good stuff. Hope you are all doing fine and enjoying some of the changes and all you see and well, I wanna hang out for a bit, darn it.
I'm going through and listing all 'favorites' threads and polls so we can keep track of them easier and they do not get repeated. Please make sure to check here first so that your post is not deleted! Thanks~ * Would you buy the game since it comes out on cell phone? http://www.kh-vids.net/showthread.php?t=24622 Just one so far, but we know that will change. ^_^
Here's yet another list of threads for polls and 'favorites' threads to help us navigate the area easier and also not make duplicate threads. If you find the thread here, please feel free to bump it even if it is old and comment rather than opening another thread on the topic. Thanks! I've gone through and merged a few topics together to preserve them after having plenty of time to see all of the threads so hopefully that helps out too.
