They can easily defeat us unless we are well prepared, as they have around 5 generals, and their boards are well defended.

Check the older forums and you will see I have posted some of them.

Hmmmmph. I only thought you were someone else, O Brazen One. Hmmm, call me a newbie why don't you? Newbieness is NOT determined by time spent here alone. I can easily believe that you have been here longer than me. I can believe a lot of people have. However, it appears I have almost 3 times as many posts as you. What does this mean? Nothing really, just don't be so.... brazen. I would have prefered cynicism, but that was too much like sarcasm.
"Sarcasm is the attack of the weak to attempt to hurt the weaker."
~~Anon.
Of course, I feel dumb for my (wrong)comment. I am not flaming you. However, I do NOT wish to be called a newbie by anyone. Newbie signifies unknowingness, and worst of all, STUPIDITY. I AM NOT STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry for all the !s. But I cannot stand my intelligence be insulted, for it is the only thing I have.
PS: I do not want ANY crap from ANY OF YOU about what I typed. And if you are too full of yourselves to take it seriously, so be it.

while i do NOT like seeing it being spoken ill of, i would rather not have war
in fact, if TMK went to war, i would hope it to be a revolution for the ppl's benefit
i used to come here, this used to be 'the nintendo place'
now, i believe TUNMB is it

TMK +s
More members signed up
Simple forum design
Less spam topics
Relativly few pop-up ads
TMK -s
Less active members (Believe it or not, you'd be hard-pressed to find 10-15 that post on General Mario Chat. I might be able to do it, but it would require thought. I am tired.)
Slow loading times (For me anyway)
The fact I can't figure out the HTML trick. I even copy-pasted a post someone else made using HTML and it didn't work. Hmmmmm...
Relativly inactive Moderators
TUNMB +s
More topics updated daily
More moderators (I even moderate one of the boards)
It isn't just Mario. (This is a BIG thing for me, but for some others...)
No flaming! At least not internally on the board, anyway.
Avatars. Avatars are cool.
TUNMB -s
Not that many members (less than 100)
Ratings system based solely on post count (Encourages spamming)
Confusing board layout! Too many individual forums.
The severe and overly strict rules. (To prove this: I put up an avatar today which was a sign reading: "No tresspassing. Violators will be shot. Survivors will be shot again." and it may be deemed to objectable to use. Obviously SOMEONE doesn't watch the news at all...)
There you have it. They both have major strengths and weaknesses, and therefore neither board makes me want to leave the other. Therefore, I am wholly AGAINST any kind of war. I don't wish to be in trouble due to my neutrality.
Thank you, that is, if you read that whole thing. I hope you all consider it so that nothing bad happens between the 2 sites.
The people of TUNMB should really STOP advertising on TMK. They don't need ads for another site. You said it once; it was locked.
The TMK people should respect (Or attempt to respect) the fact that several of the members prefer TUNMB. Of course, they shouldn't advertise the site.
NOTE: In no way am I advertising or advocating either site. I am stating my neutral opinions and my discontent for the idea of a stupid war. Real wars are stupid, and often futile (The one exception was WWII.) Site wars are the same way.
I am not a people person. In fact, I`m more of an anti-people person.
I respect your post. As long as you don''t insult my intelligence in it.

So, how about TUNMB and FF sign a No-Assault Treaty? Who is with me? Also, consider the following phrase (it has no real meaning whatsoever, I just want to put it here):
"We shall have peace," Theoden said. Several of the riders cried out gladly. "Yes, Saruman, we shall have peace...when you surrender the keys of Orthanc. But I think, Saruman, that your voice has lost its charm."
Okay that was dumb. But who's for the peace treaty?

Did Theoden say that to Saruman? I thought somebody else said that to him. Wait, did anyone ever say exactly that at all?
How could you have a "war" anyway? You can't physically damage anything, and it would be "virtually" impossible to have a virtual war.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
Chapter X: The Voice of Saruman; page 566, line 22. Here's exactly what the book reads:
"We will have peace," said Theoden at last thickly and with an effort. Several of the Riders cried out gladly. Theoden held up his hand. "Yes, we will have peace," he said, now in a clear voice, "we will have peace, when you and all your works have perished - and the works of your dark master to whom you would deliver us. You are a liar, Saruman, and a corrupter of men's hearts. You hold out your hand to me, and I perceive only a finger of the claw of Mordor. Cruel and cold! Even if your war on me was just - as it was not, for were you ten times as wise you would have no right to rule me and mine for your own profit as you desired - even so, what will you say of your torches in Westfold and the children that lie dead there? And they hewed Hama's body before the gates of the Hornburg, after he was dead. When you hang from a gibbet at your window for the sport of your own crows, I will have peace with you and Orthanc. So much for the House of Eorl. A lesser son of great sires am I, but I do not need to lick your fingers. Turn elsewhither. But I fear your voice has lost its charm." (paragraph) The Riders gazed up at Theoden like men startled out of a dream....
That's exactly what the book says, word for word. If you are somehow related with the production of the Lord of the Rings books or Tolkien, please do not sue me, as I am only doing this in an answer to a question.

Here is one thing that the Fungi Forums can be sure about. If the day of war against TUNMB ever strikes, you may rest assured that the SMFCMB (Super Mario Fan Club Message Boards) are with you. As for the thing about the war not hurting anybody...hmmm.... En Garde! *unsheathes sword*
Just kidding. *sheathes sword* I hope the line above will not start Forum War I.

1. It has EXACTLY three members (two of which are members of the FF, maybe all three)
2. It is sort of having a civil war (look at what Mace Windu said about my advice about getting more Marios rather than trying to send that SMS Game Test that has 8 questions that say "What is level # called?")
3. Green Luigi is neutral (Oh, wait! He isn't part of the SMFCMB!)
Well, anyway, it's nice how you have limited "HTML" enabled at your forum (in other words, EzCodes) and how you allow avatars.
Since we're on the subject, could someone tell me what the <p> command does? I know about
, I picked it up off of CashCrazed, and learned what it ment in the Review Comments forum (can't say what the forum ID is though because I don't want to get banned).

It just takes a little more effort and time, which Deezer doesn't seem to have. If you're too lazy, use Proboards. It's the same exact thing, but with annoying pop-ups. And it's fast... sometimes it takes 30 seconds for a page to load on this board, and I'm using DSL...
I wonder why all my posts end up being annoyingly long...

Forgot to say this sooner, but the Revolutionary War is probably the most important war in American History.
I don't want war, and I agree, we should use YaBB (not ezboards like SMFCMB, or like Proboards cuz I hate pop-ups).
