You heard me right. Just look at the newest member to register: LMAO. Either this person just has a sense of humor or is looking to cause trouble. There was also "i_hate_karpo"...I can't even begin to imagine who that would be.
So this is a message to any lurkers and potential troublemakers: don't even bother to cause mischief on here because your IP will be traced faster you can say "cowabunga". And if some of you are from where I'm thinking, you might as well just go home and get a life, because this is a completely different world and community.
Thank you. We may all now get back to our normal forum postings.

Excuse me, since when have you become a mod?!? :dead:
He's just looking out for the forum. Admirable. But lurkers are not the problem. It's the people posting offensive messages that are the problem. Also, lurkers tend to, well, lurk on a board for awhile to get a feel for the place. Don't judge a person by their screen name. Prejudices like that may turn away many more good members than bad posters. They haven't done anything wrong yet.

Can I judge i_hate_karpo's screen name? :lol:
And yeah we have many lurkers and False members. From 400 members, only about 150 has more than 10 posts.

Excuse me, since when have you become a mod?!? :dead:Excuse me, since when did you have to be a brat? It's no wonder you've got a warning! You open your cake hole when there's no need to.

Don't judge a person by their screen name.Did I not say that EITHER that person was going to cause trouble OR just had a harmless sense of humor? I thought so...sorry for the ambiguity.
But you're right, the real problem is not the lurkers...it's those who don't know how to keep their attitude problem bottled up (not saying any names).
A general note: Rude comments aren't appreciated, and responding with rudeness will only get you in trouble as well.
I know no one was pointing fingers, but we don't want to come off as a suspicious bunch, because we aren't. And we aren't in the business of threatening those who cross into our forum.

Okay everybody chill!!!! :o
We just got out of that mess of arguments so Tokka and Rez don't start it up again please.
Anyways, lukers can lurk as much as they want, it is just the problem with people with really short fuses

I'd just like to point out in general that I only got the warning because I accidentally told a mod in an open forum in RPG about the problem someone and I were having, and because of that....Krang is taking off the warning sometime soon...
I don't think you can get a warning by disagreeing with someone on this site...otherwise none of us would be here and/or I would quit.... :roll:
[Edit: Please don't mention any names in regards to your warning. --Krang]

Yeah the zero posters are not a problem, but it make it really hard to tell how many members we really have. I think around 30.
Nickokapo
12-20-2002, 01:42 AM
Yeah...it's so annoying...dumb 0-posters :x i wish i could delete em from the memberlist, but i cant, so i'll just flip out :D
Peanut
12-20-2002, 01:45 AM
Me too! *flips out* That was fun.
Nickokapo
12-20-2002, 01:48 AM
Yes it was!
Of course, since you are a ninja, your flipability is a natural one, i have to practice :P *goes lurker-hunting*
Peanut
12-20-2002, 01:51 AM
It can be dangerous even for me though! I think I poked myself in the eye...aw yeah it's watering...dang head bands and there things on the end that fly all over the place and then poke you in the eye because they're too long! :evil:
Nickokapo
12-20-2002, 01:56 AM
:teek: yeah, you should get rid of the head band and get something like a hat instead, that way you don't hurt yourself.
Then again, i've yet to see a ninja wearing a hat, so it might be a bad idea.
Peanut
12-20-2002, 01:58 AM
*cuts off half of the band* Well now that's settled.
Nickokapo
12-20-2002, 02:00 AM

I have no problem with people who want to lurk for a while before posting, as long as they're not here to cause trouble. But eventually, I will start deleting usernames with 0 posts that either are older than 6 months old or were never verified (which means they used a fake email address).
And Tokka and Reznorite, if you're going to argue, please take it off the forums.
Nickokapo
12-20-2002, 03:34 AM
Does that mean i can have Nicko-chan back when you delete it?Yay! :D
I regged that nick some time ago but forgot the pass.
