Even though I'm fairly new here I have to say that I think Lizard Dude made a lot of sense in his post earlier.^ *felt almost patriotic*

Spamming is pointless, and I thought it was like posting the same thing over and over. I think what a few of the people on here are doing is called random speaking...though it's a new thing to me. But I agree about the overuse of death and the useless threats that someone has been making. Don't get upset over someone having a different opinion than what you do because in the real world nine out of ten times someone will have a different opinion than what you do. Life's to short to live it upset. :)

General Chat / Re: The HOPEFUL thread: Be happy here!

I'm happy because I am learning so much on this forum and there is so much more to learn. I just wish there were more Gamecube games. Seems like when I buy a new system they stop putting out games for it or at least I can't seem to find any. Whoopsie, that last two sentences should proably have been posted on the other board. I will now return to the topic at hand. I'm happy cause I have a good family life and though my son hates school he has improved by 50% in doing what he has to do. I am also happy that I have been married for almost 17 years. Which now that I think about seems to be longer than some of you have been around. Yikes I feel old...not sure how happy I am anymore *ducks off of board looking for the "I don't feel so happy" topic*

Hahahahaha, Vid not only gets lectures about jobs from his own father, but from other people's fathers as well!

Ouch, didn't mean that as a lecture. I was just saying how hard it is to get into the workforce. Those 1st season DVDs are expensive.

I think that TMK is unique in more ways than that. I also think that any legal guardian that doesn't speak up on behalf of their children aren't worth much imo. And there isn't anything in the rules about speaking out on behalf of anyone. If I thought there was an injustice being done to someone I would speak out on behalf of them as well. In this case there isn't any injustice being done. The CT although a bit harsh imo has had an affect on the person it was given to and I have seen improvements irl. He understands it and was dealing with it on his own. I was the one curious about it and I was just voicing my own concerns on it.

I have looked into some of pichu25's posts and I admit some of them weren't on topic and some were a bit whacked out...but a lot of them did follow with the topic they were posted in. *eats a little humble pie* A verysmall piece. We are working on this with him because of some problems in school with writing. And with his interest in all things Nintendo <does mean all things. The school and I thought this would help him and it really has to a great degree irl. Again I want to publicly thank those who have been helping him out. They are a great asset to this community and show what it means to be a great member of any community

Money comes when you get a job, but you can't get a job unless you have experience, and you get experience by working, but if you can't get a job.... It's a confusing world out there irl. But if you had the powers of some of the Heroes characters you wouldn't really need money. But then you would have the guilt to deal with.

Oh and I forgot to say who my favorite hero is on the show...I like Peter Petrelli or is it...no it's him cause his power is absorbing all of the other guys powers. I think that is pretty cool.

Whoops no offense by that because when I was posting I couldn't remember his name other than it started out with Max and had some other letters behind it so I thought that maybe it was Maxine since I couldn't remember if it was a girl type person who was making those comments or if it was a guy. Struck me as being kind of feminine so I went with Maxine instead of something more masculine like Maxwell or some such. Sorry if I offended it wasn't intentional... though it seemed to fit.

Basically, some of the staff here like to get their jollies by giving degrading Custom Titles to members that annoy them in some way. Yes, it's a rude policy and rather immature.

This is a legitimate answer to my question and a very truthful one from what I have seen. As for what Maxine or Max whatever said I understand what you are saying as well and to put it bluntly as you say his maturity level is as good as some and not as malicious as others. Though like I had said earlier there are a lot of good posters here and there is a lot of useful information along with the fun and wacky a community is based on the strengths and weakness of its members.

Because most kids do not get permission from their parents and instead lie on the page that verifies whether they are 13 or older.  US law requires us to collect written verification from a parent.  Verbal permission is not sufficient, especially when it involves falsifying the forum sign-up process.

And since I see that you're talking about your own son, he honestly hasn't shown enough maturity to be posting here, but so far we've been relaxed and haven't outright banned him yet.

That doesn't really answer my question about the white captions.

OK well my son really likes this Forum. He thinks the world of the people he has met here and I was the one that told him he could sign up. Because I think a lot of the postings here are informational and entertaining and suitable to his maturity level (which I have seen in a lot of posts, it's been where he has gotten most of his ideas). I just didn't think it was a real nice way of saying what the person wanted to say when they put that tag on him. Even older folk can get emotional about such things as that.He didn't really mind the tag so much but it doesn't speak real high of the maturity level of the one that put it there. I was a little more upset about it than he was really. I can understand why you wouldn't want certain information given out on-line about kids too which is why I am always watching what he posts and what gets posted to him because it all seems to come to my email address :) Like I said we both really like the place and if he gets kicked off because of what I said then I'm sorry to him in advance.
