Mario Chat / Re: The True meaning of l is real 2401 [sm64]
« on: March 28, 2005, 05:38:03 PM »
"L is real." Ah, it's that time of year again. In fact, it's always that time of year to try to kill this conspiracy once and for all. Just for the fun of it, I got the screenshot of the plaque in question and photoshopped it with the phrased, "L is real 2401," and "Eternal Star." And because Japanese was mentioned before, I decided to add that too. Then, just because I felt like it (and because someone out there is bound to ask), I found random Hebrew and Arabic characters that would fit. As far as I know, those two languages in the screenshot say absolutely nothing. The Japanese (this I know for a fact) is gibberish. The red "x" is for edits that don't seem to be plausible explanations of the plaque. The convenient smiley ":)" denotes the only really good explanation yet so far.

General Chat / Re: n00bs Have Rights Foundation
« on: March 25, 2005, 02:40:16 AM »How ironic, I'm using
a sentence that confirms the use of reference...FOR REFERENCE!!!
There’s no irony behind that. There
are three types of irony: Situational, verbal, and dramatic. Situational
irony is the only kind of irony that that comment would fit into. And
even then it’s not quite there. Besides,
you’re not using his post for any reference whatsoever.
Sorry, but I have one
more thing to say, and I just HAD to do that ironic reference thing.
No, you didn’t.
But, I'm sorry if
I've offended any of you.
Offend? No. Annoy?
Yes.
But, I still stand by
my point that I have had too much of the smart-alek spelling corrections,
me-getting-in-trouble-for-saying-one-thing-that-was-slightly-off-topic's, and
unwritten rules that I never knew off that I get in trouble for.
What I fail to understand is why people just can’t take
some time to actually think about and type their posts. For
long posts such as this, I use MS Word so that I don’t have to repeatedly go
back and edit my posts when I find mistakes. It’s
not that hard, really. It’s not
like you’re trying to beat a ton of people to make a comment. Besides,
even if what you had in mind was already said by someone else, making a good topic-related
response is much more appreciated by people than some hard-to-comprehend,
off-topic, random response with no meaning whatsoever.
I just have 3
suggestions for Fungi Forums.
1. Make new rules
dealing with how many threads per day, off-topic-ness, etc.
2. Cyber-bullying is
a serious crime, and it should be punished here.
3. MOO! (I just had
to say that.)
1. People are free to create as many threads as they want
per day. There’s no limit.
If you can think of plenty of well-thought topic ideas, there should be
no real problem. As for posting
responses that actually have to do with the discussion, that’s just forum
etiquette.
2. If you think what you’re experiencing here is
cyber-bullying, you obviously don’t go to a lot of other forums. There
are places out there where cyber-bullying is a MAJOR problem. This
is the internet. Just like the real
world, there are lots of other people who have it worse than you. And
“cyber-bullies,†if present, are punished.
It’s called banning.
3. That’s an off-topic response. It
was unnecessary and irrelevant to the discussion. You
didn’t have to say that.
Maybe the rules that
n00bs dont know, other than the ones that ARE written down, should be.
The ones that aren’t “written down†are mainly forum
etiquette or just common sense. The
ones that are “written down†are just some ground rules that can be expanded
upon. If ALL of these rules were to
be listed, there would be a LOT of rules on the forum entrance page, most of
which could be condensed into the few that are present now.
Why should me plus
other new peeps get in trouble for breaking rules that we we're never told of?
Because it’s mainly common sense. There
are plenty of other people who can come in as new members and slowly enter
society without causing a ruckus. If
you really want, here are some rules that might help any other people joining
the Fungi Forums or even you.
-- Refrain from
creating introduction threads. For
some reason, it seems to being the image that this newcomer wants attention and
whose presence always needs to be known. There
are always exceptions to this rule, as with any other rule. If
you can properly introduce yourself and leave a good first-impression, then all
is well.
-- Try to put some
effort in your posts. It is nice
to put in your two cents, but it’s even nicer to actually read material rather
than some off-topic post.
-- The ‘edit’
button is your friend. Use it.
Deletion of double posts, corrections of mistakes, changes of opinion,
and additions can all be done with this handy button that’s conveniently in
the likeness of a pencil. If your
post is the most recent one in a thread, use the edit button. It
helps to keep the board relatively uncluttered.
-- Make friends, not
enemies. At the very least, be a
moderate. You’ll find that
attacking a forum veteran can usually result in a chain reaction against you.
Even contributing to the forum without taking sides on any issues can be
helpful. A good amount of people
usually appreciate this more than a greater amount of enemies.
-- Think.
This may sound obvious, but a lot of people just don’t get it. There
are so many people like that in the real world, so who needs them here too?
Put some thought into your posts, threads, and even arguments. It
helps people to better understand you, appreciate your efforts, and in the case
of arguments, strengthen your opinion.
Now all ya'lls agree
or all ya'lls dont agree with me?
I don’t agree with most of your thoughts, but that’s
just my opinion.

Il Piantissimo? I have my doubts. Unless there's going to be a sequel to SMS, I don't think we'll be seeing our wannabe pianta in any major role anytime soon.

There's nothing wrong with the phrase. Although the origin is a bit on the vulgar side, most people could really care less about it nowadays.
Literally:
tickle: v. def. (1) to excite or stir up agreeably
fancy: n. def. (2) an image or representation of something formed in the mind; fantastic quality or state

Luigison has been here for a much longer amount of time than you. I don't think you're in any position to tell him to find something else to do. I also agree with him. If you want to look for emulators or roms, a Google search will probably help you more than a posting thread here.

“Futurama is awesome, [sic] theres [sic] beer, women and comedy, how much better can it get than that. [sic]â€
A lot better, actually. A good show does not need beer and women to make it a good show. I’ve watched it on occasion, too. I’ve never found the beer or women that make it so great yet.
“all [sic] i [sic] know is that futurama [sic] is awesome and everybody in the world should be forced to watch it at 10:30 on mondays [sic] thru thusdays [sic] on adult swim [sic]â€
That’s your opinion and no one else’s. It is nice to express your opinion in such a way, but it’s completely illogical. Before you go off suggesting that every person in the world gets cable TV, maybe you should realize that a good number of people aren’t even able to afford food. Also, this is advertising, one of the four ground rules of the Fungi Forums. Continue, and you won’t stay long.
“Its [sic] also funny as hell, which i [sic] already told you all, but my point is that everyone should watch it, its [sic] great!!!!! [sic]â€
Thank you for your one-sided and exclamation point-filled post. <sarcasm>That cuss word near the end really spiced up this forum. It’s greatly appreciated by all.</sarcasm>

In one day, you have created five threads that have failed to generate a great deal of responses so far. Assertiveness never seems to work in situations like this, so I'll keep my closing point short:
STOP.
STOP.

To quote a previous post of mine:
"Cussing, censored or not, and advertising will get you nowhere on these boards. There are four BASIC rules that you should probably look to follow here. Any breach of these "ground rules" can and WILL get you banned.
1. No swearing, because it really does ruin the forum experience when you have to deal with people with a vocabulary
that is so limited that they have to substitute every other word with a cuss word.
2. No flame wars, because although you might hate someone's guts, that doesn't mean that eveyone does, and complaining and flaming will only get you more enemies.
3. No talking in all capital letters, because when people read posts, chances are, the type size and font will make no difference to them.
4. No advertising websites, because it's bad enough to walk around town and find ads posted in every corner of town, and even worse to find out that more and more of the internet is being littered with them.
In closing, to quote TMK: 'Violators can and will be banned from the message board. Thanks for your cooperation!'"
