The Daily Chit-Chat [2008]
 
New DCC thread for the new year.

Other Chat (specifically the chat rules) and forum wide rules still apply, obviously.

Any questions can be sent my way.

Happy New Year!

Lumine January 1st, 2008 12:25 AM

Yeah Happy New Year everyone =D

Wow yay first reply! XD

Ayano Katagiri January 1st, 2008 12:26 AM

Happy New Year everyone~

Shika January 1st, 2008 12:26 AM

Happy New Year everyone!

It says in the thread someone is counting... xD

I forgot about it and didn't vote. D:

Lady Nicole January 1st, 2008 12:28 AM

Yeah, happy new year! =D I didn't know the DCC was going to have a new thread for the new year :\

I forgot to vote last month :( I procrastinated XD

Shika January 1st, 2008 12:34 AM

I need a pair of glasses seriously. Oh well, I don't need to volunteer now.

Most people didn't vote this month.

Jack O'Neill January 1st, 2008 12:35 AM

I just need to address something Karli brought up in the previous DCC before moving on to the current agenda.

But wait, wouldn't the worm be male AND female?

True, there are some pathogens that cannot be detected by conventional tests. As I said earlier, however, the odds of you harboring a dormant contagion that Mr. Wormy somehow passed on to you during Year 2 are zero, so you shouldn't worry too much.

And yes, "Mister" Wormy would more appropriately be a hermaphrodite. Better change its name, then.

Now that that's been wrapped up, on with the current agenda.

I'm surprised that they're finally working on American time, seeing as the previous DCC was closed just 20 minutes after midnight, GMT-8. As for Member of the Month...meh.

Unless someone is extremely clever and MotM dedicated enough to have created a nice, mass counting program.

Jack O'Neill January 1st, 2008 12:53 AM

I'm pretty sure there are ways to tally the votes rapidly without needing a specialized mass-counting program.

Probably. But when you have over 60 different posts plus like 20 categories in which each could have 3 votes, that can result to quite a lot of counting.

I can't remember who, but someone who did one a few months ago said it took them 2-3 hours....

Hakeen January 1st, 2008 1:08 AM

lawl @ thread title.

For the MotM's: When I counted mine... it took me about two hours... it's not that hard to count up the votes really.

Yeah. Even if only a small amount of people voted, it would take awhile. And this is PC. xD
That Mod/Plug In would be helpful. (Probably don't have one though...)

It depends on how efficient the counter's method is. If too slow... and laborious, then expect at least an hour maybe? Like you said... this is PC. xD

Which Mod/Plug In? *is curious*

EDIT: Shika, why did you get rid of your banner?
Get a new theme soon.. xD Like that one you had before Christmas, the one I said was awesome. ^^

Only edited because Shika couldn't think of a reply.. :P

3 pages is still at least 50 people's votes to count.

What? No... but it was awesome enough to ignore all that.
Who cares what everyone else thinks about the theme being girly or not.

Oh well.

Hmm. Since this is more like Personal Convo, do anyone else care about girly themes?

And am I the only one who can't get a blank usertitle to work? D:

PB. January 1st, 2008 3:50 AM

Didn't PC have a time where all the Admins and stuff changed genders and have girly themes?

Hakeen January 1st, 2008 3:54 AM

Most of them already change their genders... and at heart, they're all girly.

Shika January 1st, 2008 3:55 AM

Admins and stuff. xD
They changed gender to trick people I guess. But my problem is I made it normally and were told that it look girly. D:

BTW, I can get a blank user title now xD

PB. January 1st, 2008 4:04 AM

I noticed you could,

I remember visting PC once and Arcanine was writing everything in pink.

Shika January 1st, 2008 4:06 AM

Oh that happens. Now I made my signature reddish pink because people say my sig is girly. xP

PB. January 1st, 2008 4:07 AM

It looks good, but a little bit plain.

Wasn't it a dare that spirled out of control.

Shika January 1st, 2008 4:09 AM

So were you rating my signature?

You mean I was dared to do this? No.
I hate dares. Anyone else agree?

Eruption January 1st, 2008 4:10 AM

Theme less?

I wonder how many people you will get with that.

Great now all my posts from the other DCC are gone...

Hakeen January 1st, 2008 4:11 AM

I know how you feel, all my posts are not that visible too.
I was totally top poster.

... and I was supposed to stop caring -shot-

Eruption January 1st, 2008 4:13 AM

I was 3rd top and about to take over Pachirisu....

I think it's 0

Oh Post Counts. So I am probably the most right now. If it still exists after my 2 month inactivity starting from tomorrow. D:

Exams. Thought so.

PB. January 1st, 2008 4:32 AM

Which request shops do themes?


I've got my GCSE exams this year, not looking forward to them

Shiny January 1st, 2008 4:35 AM

Can't you just ask for a matching theme Perry?

Shika January 1st, 2008 4:37 AM

Every request shops in Graphic And Photography do themes xD

@Skii: Since I've open a request shop before, I find it troublesome to work with the given poorly pictures. So I'd rather not go and bother them.

Souless does them.

He does avatar & banner requests [and ubar] so request what you want on the banner then ask for a matching avatar, simple.

I got my theme made by Souless.

@Shika: Not all of them, some of them dont do avatars.

PB. January 1st, 2008 4:37 AM

I really want a Jirachi theme but i don't know who to go too

EDIT: You guys posted before me so now i sound like an idiot

Eruption January 1st, 2008 4:39 AM

Look in a few of the request shops and see who you think has the better avs & banners.

Shika January 1st, 2008 4:39 AM

CME's shop is probably best out there but she is busy and can't deliver themes fast. So I suggest Hazuki's shop.

Shiny January 1st, 2008 4:42 AM

Colour Me Evil has awsome graphics, I like borders on all of my themes XD

PB. January 1st, 2008 4:42 AM

I will do ^^, thanks for the help.

Am I the only one who found new year slightly pointless last night?

Shiny January 1st, 2008 4:44 AM

Um mine was scary, we had a guy run down our street in a Borat mankini O.o

Eruption January 1st, 2008 4:45 AM

New year is always pointless but I still stay up until midnight.

PB. January 1st, 2008 4:51 AM

lol @ Kero

I watched the thing on Tv with Gethin and Myleene and a bunch of unheard of singers who were rubbish.

The fireworks were good though

Twinx January 1st, 2008 4:52 AM

ya, New year's eve was simple for me too, but I liked it this way.
It's the first time I don't go to a party on new year's eve in a while and honestly I enjoyed a peaceful night.

Nothing special for new years really is it?

The singers weren't top class, I mean they had the guy off soapstar superstar.

Fireworks rocked though.

Shiny January 1st, 2008 5:00 AM

Perry that wasn't the worst, after the mankini we ahd a actual naked person running down my street >_<

New Year's was fun for me. 8D I have friends over and we just haven't gone to sleep yet, ahaha.

Eruption January 1st, 2008 5:31 AM

Why what time is over there?

New year's eve was a bore for me. Took ages to find Super Mario Galaxy and but it then I only got to play on it for one hour before I had to go round someone's house for six hours of total boredom.

PB. January 1st, 2008 5:38 AM

We watched Hairspray on DVD and then played bored games.

Went to bed at half 1 and woke up at 11.

Cherrim January 1st, 2008 5:40 AM

It's... 8:30 in the morning. XD I don't think I'm sleeping at all.

I just spent it playing Guitar Hero and DDR and such, haha. It was pretty fun. :D

Shika January 1st, 2008 5:40 AM

New years eve was pretty awesome, we had a few people over. XD I stayed up with a couple of friends till about 4am just playing games on the Xbox and joking around, before them and their families went home. XD I've barely got a wink of sleep, but oddly enough I'm not that tired. XD;

Eruption January 1st, 2008 6:00 AM

17 in the UK.

Cherrim January 1st, 2008 6:16 AM

I suppose. I have my equivalent of a learner's, but I haven't bothered to go for my full license or anything near it yet. I'm lazy and I don't own my own vehicle anyway, so I don't really see a point in rushing it. @[email protected] Though driving is pretty fun.

I dont want to drive tbh.

Our governments are idiots... Seen the thing about the lottery to get into secondary schools?

PB. January 1st, 2008 6:21 AM

Yeah, Im glad thats not me, but its because there are too many kids for the schools around. They should build more schools.

Eruption January 1st, 2008 6:23 AM

They said its to "increase the chance of getting into the school they want" I mean are they deaf?

It'll decrease that chance.

A lottery could also mean that like one school could be close to empty if not empty itself.

Nah, they'd make sure that the schools were filled properly. Though I don't really see how this would help with overcrowding anyway. It would just mean some schools are more crowded than others or a lot of children would be being bused to different areas instead of simply heading to the school nearest them. I'm not terribly sure how it works, though, so it's not like I have anything to go by. :\

Forced January 1st, 2008 6:33 AM

just get your country to stop breeding.
it'll work, i promise, spread the word.
:)

Twinx January 1st, 2008 6:41 AM

Stop breeding? That's not right at all...
One thing that can be done is give "privileges" to families who one have 1-2 children like tax reduction or something like that.

Forced January 1st, 2008 6:43 AM

i was just joking.
you cant stop breeding.
thats what china tried to do and look how they ended up...
