Ohhh...kay...

I assumed that my signature and avatar were pictures, so I presented them here.

Thread names can be deceiving, my friend! Always check page 1!

Anyway, cool avatar and signature. Julia Stiles, right?

OK, I have to ask. Why is there no more spam allowed at all? Insults and mean stuff I get, but the spam?
I mean, some of those "topics" were really fun. People kept conversations going a long time, and we were all just chatting there and enjoying ourselves.
Like hanging out in a bar or with friends or soemthing; only not.
People would just kind of chat there, almost like one big chat room where you could come and go for weeks at a time.
I don't see the issue with that.

This place isn't a chat room, though. We need topics. And besides, it's Krang's orders. Take it up with him, I'm just the man who upholds it.

Correct.

I decided I'm going to change my avatar/signature every 50 or 100 posts.

I also chose Julia to counteract the huge amount of Asian avatars around here.

I don't see the issue with that.
First, our forum database is currently 213.05 MB. The bigger that gets, the slower the forums get, and if it gets bad enough, our host will complain and kick us off the server. And what's the fastest way to drive that number up? Spam. I'm paying for this server out of my own pocket (no, I haven't received any money from the ads yet, and we haven't gotten a donation in months), and I don't want to lose it. If I were rich and could afford a dedicated server, you could spam all you want, but that's obviously not the case.

Second, spam threads bump on-topic threads off the board so that people have to dig for them. If I wanted to post about something that has been brought up in the past, why should I have to wade through pages and pages of spam to find it?

Third, it gives people an unfair "advantage" in the ranking system. While the ranks are meaningless and just for fun, it annoys me to see people inflating their post counts with useless posts when other people achieved their post counts with mostly on-topic, useful posts.

And last, sorry, but nobody wants to read people's private conversations. Why post them in public when you could achieve the exact same thing through an instant messenger program or private messages?

My main point is, this is a message board, not a chat room. If you want a chat room, you can easily make one or join one of the many existing ones.

Now let's please get back on topic before I have to split this.

Couldn't have said it better myself, Krang. Thanks for clearing that up. I knew there was some deeper truth to the spam rule.

Okay... I have NEVER done this before... and can't believe I'm doing it now. Two reasons. I'm really neurotic about people seeing me, and I can't find any good pics. *blushes* Okay, okay... Now stop with the "Post It" chant, GK!! I dunno how long these're gonna stay up, so look at 'em now!

Here's me, on a bad hair and no makeup day. Ugh.


- Working on the comp. Heh.

But more importantly (and cuter is my bunny, Peanut. She's my baby, literally. Quick recap: Store sold her to me when she was a week old, unbeknownst to me, and, after many trips to the vet and medicine and shots she had less than a 12% chance to live. But she did. She's literally my baby. She thinks she's human.

Here's her as a baby


And against my hand.


Against my hand at one year old


And more recently, at two.


Isn't she gorgeous??!

Does anyone else find that Dawn's first picture actually looks like April in her Avatar?

Eerie.
