A lot of people plan never to drink when they're your age. I know I did!

Possibly, I don't really have a list of life experiences I do and don't want to have.

Oryx May 30th, 2014 5:38 AM

Why wouldn't you want to ever try alcohol anyway? It never made any sense to me, except for the obvious "My ____ was an alcoholic" - having a couple drinks will not shorten your lifespan by any appreciable amount, you can do it in the safety of your own room if you're afraid of loss of control (and if you're that afraid of loss of control, you might need professional help), and it's legal.

☆Rei☆ May 30th, 2014 5:45 AM

Vodka can be made from potatoes. Some people consider me as a potato (I don't know why). Therefore cannibalism.

Both tbh. 8)

I'm surprised there are 17 year olds who don't want to drink, honestly. Here it's like... everyone does unless there are religious reasons or whatever behind it. I kinda think you're missing out if you don't try it at least once just to see what it's like, even if you end up hating it. It's an experience. Life's made to experience things. 8)

Shining Raichu May 30th, 2014 5:47 AM

Then maybe drink bourbon?

Tsutarja May 30th, 2014 5:51 AM

I can remember for the longest of time not wanting to drink alcohol but I guess getting older just changed that in me.

Also, ♥♥♥♥ the USA and the drinking age of being 21.

I don't follow any religion, but I guess it's more like I'm just too lazy to try.

Again, too lazy to try.


And for those of you who don't know I'm usually the laziest person around, I usually sit next to a screen and do whatever possible there. I only leave when I absolutely have to.

Kanzler May 30th, 2014 5:55 AM

He doesn't have to if he doesn't want to. Besides, it's a long way to go from drinking to drunk. And ♥♥♥♥ the drinking age being 21. As a Canadian, coming over the border and not being able to drink, that's embarrassing >:(

No, really? We thought our words were physically forcing alcohol down his throat. Don't I have egg on my face!

Seriously though, saying drunkenness, barring addiction problems, should be something that people experience once in their life is no more strange than saying people should experience living without a roommate or taking public transportation on their own or leaving the country. You can live life without it, easily, but it's an experience that gives you a bit more insight into certain parts of life - in this case, why people drink and interaction while drunk. I know I got a lot more sympathetic towards drunk posting when I started drinking, because my brain wants to socialize when I'm drunk.

☆Rei☆ May 30th, 2014 6:01 AM

No worries, I don't feel forced to anything here, I mean what's the worst you could do if I didn't? Say I suck?

Shining Raichu May 30th, 2014 6:03 AM

That's exactly what we could do. Begin a slow and subtle chipping away at your self esteem until drinking seems like the only option to escape. :P

Oryx May 30th, 2014 6:04 AM

Man I have so much self-esteem when I'm drunk. I know it's stereotypical but I always end up feeling really damn good about my life choices.

I know, but I tend to give out logical solutions to any problem.

Alexander Nicholi May 30th, 2014 7:30 AM

Alcohol seems nice, but I'm not really keen on jumping on it as soon as possible. I'd rather wait, really ;)

Oryx May 30th, 2014 7:39 AM

I waited too, tbh. I didn't drink until about sophomore year of college, because none of my friends did. It actually does make sense to me to put it off until ____, but just not to make a pact to never even try drinking.

I've got some killer 'drinks that don't taste like alcohol' recipes too.

Sir Codin May 30th, 2014 7:41 AM

I had to call in sick for work. I must have come into contact with something because I've got uncontrollable itching in...places.

Kanzler May 30th, 2014 7:44 AM

Ball rash cream. Or baby powder.

Sir Codin May 30th, 2014 7:52 AM

Calamine Lotion seems to be working.

As long as I don't irritate it (or not irritate it as the case may be) things should clear up. Benedryl is also helping.

Oryx May 30th, 2014 8:06 AM

Things I never needed to know about PC members, part 982

Crux May 30th, 2014 9:34 AM

I'm actually at #724 at this point.

Alexander Nicholi May 30th, 2014 9:36 AM

That reminds me of an Amazon review I saw for hair removal cream. Best review I ever read.

Oryx May 30th, 2014 9:36 AM

Sometimes I feel like I know more about people on PC than their parents. Especially when you start putting all the little pieces from individual CCC posts together...

Raine May 30th, 2014 9:41 AM

There are things our parents should never know about...Such as this community XD

Crux May 30th, 2014 9:43 AM

Sometimes on PC, you get the feeling that you know things that nobody ever should about people.

Guys, there are some things that you should lie about. To me, and everyone else.

Haha, well, that's not what I meant exactly :P I'm not necessarily embarrassed about everything I do online; that's not the reason I keep things from them. It's more like should I start to explain technology to them, it would turn into me becoming extremely irritated because of my limited vocabulary in Cantonese, and theirs in English.

Crux May 30th, 2014 9:48 AM

That is actually a conversation that I would love to sit in on.

So I just found out that Saudi Arabia imports camels. From Australia.

I would have laughed so hard if you had just double posted. Anyway, I thought that PC had a server upgrade a while ago to help stop all the double posting. Did I miss something?

Honest May 30th, 2014 1:57 PM

It wasn't to stop the double posting, it was for the constant downtime. Ironically, it was that same server upgrade that caused the double posting glitch to occur.

Nathan May 30th, 2014 2:03 PM

I actually never got extremely angry during the double posts craze. I'd just sigh and delete one.

Honest May 30th, 2014 2:06 PM

Ehh, not gonna lie, when I was a moderator, it got annoying seeing reports of double posts. :x The whole lag thing sorta kept me away from the DCC in general, since I hated having to deal with it, derp

Steven May 30th, 2014 2:08 PM

I don't understand why people would report an accidental double post. Just ignore it if the poster didn't already delete it themselves, guys!

Sonata May 30th, 2014 2:28 PM

I've only had one double post. And since then everything runs pretty smoothly. The only time I double post now is never. I reported a double post once because it wasn't just a double post, it was 7 posts in a row of the same exact thing. And it had been there for a couple of hours. Without any notice. I don't report things often/at all.

Sir Codin May 30th, 2014 2:32 PM

I occasionally get double posts because the system sometimes has a case of the hiccups. Really, double posting shouldn't even be an infraction considering how often it happens by accident.

Even if done on purpose, warn them of a possible ban once and tell them to stop being an attention ho. Problem solved.

Oryx May 30th, 2014 3:03 PM

Yeah the against-the-rules double posting isn't the same post twice - it's posting different things one after the other. Anyway I think the DCC is going to be remade more often to reduce it until it's fixed.

That was the plan, if I recall correctly.

☆Rei☆ May 30th, 2014 3:51 PM

It doesn't seem to re-post anything if you use the advanced posting feature or if you close the webpage before it reloads... strange.

Edit: on a separate note, this is the thread's 256th post! (this is the max value of an 8 bit byte if you start at 0)

Oryx May 30th, 2014 4:08 PM

Yeah it only double posts on Quick Reply. I just really, really am lazy though.

Tsutarja May 30th, 2014 4:19 PM

Makes me feel unnoticed. :(

(I saw it though!)

Tsutarja May 30th, 2014 4:50 PM

Most of the time I don't leave edit notes on my posts, but every now and then I have to edit posts from other users in my section, and I always leave notes on those.

I thought the plan was to nix the seasonal DCC in favor of shorter ones... that's why I'd killed the second to last one so early. O.o

Why not just make one at the beginning of ebg vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvbv vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvb vvvvvvvvvvvvvvb

Woops, my keyboard keys were sticking. Why not make one on the first of every month or two? That way it can coincide with welfare checks being dispersed! YAY!

Oryx May 30th, 2014 6:43 PM

That's what Andy suggested, I thought it might be better to base it off of posts and not time since that's the limiting factor. I don't think he's decided which is better yet, but either will work I think. Although I read somewhere that the double posting gets bad at about 1k posts and we're already 1/4 to that in just a few days...

Tsutarja May 30th, 2014 6:46 PM

It seems that when threads get around 1500-2000 posts the DP glitch starts. I think I remember Audy (or someone else) saying somewhere that the reason for the double posting glitch since the server move has to do with some glitch in the PHP build.

Yeah, I figured, I hate working around with things like this because it's just a lot more debugging and sometimes there's nothing you can do about it at all.

Oryx May 30th, 2014 7:04 PM

Well no one here coded vBulletin so it's not really a debugging issue. Although Audy has tried to fix it before.

You probably misinterpreted what I meant, sorry about that xD

What I meant was that I hate working with websites because in my opinion there's just more debugging to do. I didn't actually mean that that was the problem.

Tsutarja May 30th, 2014 7:09 PM

I'm just glad though that we have a new server at least. I remember on the old server that PC was going down at least once a day and sometimes as long as an hour or two depending on how many people were trying to connect to the site during a downtime.

Oryx May 30th, 2014 7:13 PM

Is the "refreshing during downtime" member of the year category irrelevant now??

Just imagine if everyone just kept refreshing every 5 seconds while it was down.

Actually sometime last year something like this happened to xbox live and it took a lot longer because everyone was trying to connect to xbox live every 5 minutes.

Taemin May 30th, 2014 7:34 PM

Then it just stayed down that much longer.

Stunfisk was the mascot of PokéCommunity database erorrs. If PC had a database error (likely due to downtown or something else), this screen would appear.

The Stunfisk theme is the best. Everyone should praise Stunfisk. Stunfisk is love, Stunfisk is life.

Stunfisk is an alright Pokémon for me, but I haven't tried to use it at Pokémon X yet, maybe I should train it sometime.

Define "nothing but".
Because I had this brief mental image of a gigantic Stunfisk picture overlaying the entire forum screen, so that none of us could see enough of the page to post for the entire day. And just "lol april fools we brought stunfisk back like ya'll wanted!"
