I wonder why one Mr. Frostweaver is still viewing this thread o.o
Make some sense, will you? :\ It's not "still"

He just came back like he said he would.

Ok, don't get me wrong. I partake in some intellectual conversations from time to time on PC. I know how the DCC used to be, but even then, it was rare to see a post the size of the ones Frostweaver's posted here tonight. And if posts did take up as much space as his did, they included various quotes which took up most of the room. There's never really been a time where continual posts consist of multiple paragraphs. You also have to take into consideration the array of ages that post in the DCC as well. There are some posters in here from time to time barely over the age of 10. Not saying that they are stupid or anything, but the conversation has to be one that all age groups can partake in...and are interested in.
By trying to prove me wrong or suggesting the opposite, I believe that I have succeeded in getting what I want already ^_~ Isn't that awesome?

First of all, I'm pretty sure that kids of age 10 can understand what I'm saying for the most part. Afterall, Lily wrote some pretty deep stuff for a 12 year old, thus receiving all the "are you really 12?" statements. Newspapers are targetted at the gr. 5 lvl of english, and they're "pretty darn" long. lol... I'm sure that the difficulty is fine.

When you repeat the "lolz what did you have for breakfast?" line for the 5th time in the month, doubt the conversation can really live so long... Sometimes you must have the long convos to balance it out and spark new topics again, then the one liners (inevitable) twist all possible juices out of it... and the long paragraph comes again to make new topics. Really, it does work out, as long as there's just a several people posting in paragraph (one paragraph, not multiple) and the rest sticking with the one-liners...

He's also whining about the fact that back in teh day, by the time you responded or made a post, there were 10 others in front of yours that weren't there before. That in itself proves that the DCC is and almost always has been, concise, whitty conversation.
Well I only returned cause a MSN convo led everyone back to the "nostalgic" mode so of course I will speak of the past more often than I usually do. ^^;;

I'm not skilled enough with words to make a statement filled with multiple potential topics for people to reply to in one sentence. Certainly it's possible, but that's beyond my abilities to be concise. So, I go for whitty without the precision, but I try if I can.

Actually, back then, people may not post in essays (oh gosh only Chairman Kaga can truly post with lightning speed and in length that triples mine, with a quality that is 5x higher on top of a deep meaning in one package... If I'm not a Christian, I would've hailed him as a divine being) but at least it's not a one liner... More like 22sa's "4 one liner in one post" or just one small paragraph.


"Pokemon forum" = lowered level of discussion? That's not necessarily true... the anime maybe geared for kids, but certainly there are people who are much older. First of all, there's the entire anime section that knows how to watch it with subs and so on, and finding the sub is not the easiest thing for really young kids.

The game section is perhaps even more crazy than the stereotypical image of Pokemon.You got people talking in pure numbers and algebra equations on how to use a Heracross the most effectively in battle. "If you use substitute, be sure to have a x/4 hp, and if it's subversal, make it x/4 + 1, where x is your hp." Really, those forums are gatherings of pure mathematical genius with deadly precision in guessing our your next moves, and outdoing your attacks on every turn.

Jake and his fellow game editors go through the most updated technology and computer softwares to modify the pokemon games to spectacular ends... I don't even know what they're talking about with the hex numbers and whatever. o_O;

There's many reasons why people will like shorter posts, but "it's a pokemon forum" should not be one of them. ^_^ All in all, each to their own taste, but it doesn't hurt for the minority's side to advertise once in awhile. Occassionally, they succeed in snatching a few poor souls to join them ;p

*another super long annoying post by Frosty!*

EDIT: Hi Sui!!!


EDIT2: Hi to you too Altarialover. I'm pretty sure that it's not your age... I simply tend to repeat myself a lot. In forums and MSN, my grammar is horrid beyond compatibility as well. ^^; I am just lazy and keeps using run-on sentences, etc... that's probably why you don't understand me at times.

I don't find age variations significant; it differs from what kind of people are viewing the thread at the designated time. Like I said, if the long posts bother people, it's common to simply look over them. But some, like myself, find enjoyment in those posts, and I alone choose to respond to them. It's not as if listening to Frostweaver is mandatory; on the contrary, if it's somewhat not within one's range of interest, by all means, avoid the posts as to, hopefully, avoid unnecessary arguments. I normally don't care about the length of posts, but I don't mind both short and long...if that made any sense. ;_;
First of all, I never said anything about viewing Frostweaver's posts being mandatory. You're kind of putting words into my mouth. I'm just trying to say that I see no point in complaining about length of posts. A post can be a one liner and still have worth to it. I'm not disagreeing that the conversation in here is usually brainless muttering. I'm not even saying that I am against long posts. To put it simply and sum it up: There's no point in complaining. It's pointless.

Maybe it's because I'm not old enough? XD

Then again, maybe people just talk about stuff we have NEVER heard of. O:
Huh? What do you mean? I dont think its to do with age...

Yes, that's one reason.

Maybe we should chat like a different convo. that way we still understand something in DCC. XD

Yeah, age means the least for understanding those long posts. O:

And I also never said .. you said frosty's posts were mandatory. Hence, 'if.' My point was simple: if people didn't like long posts, they moved on. o_O; You claim complaining is pointless. I apologize, but,

Seriously...all his mumbo jumbo is starting to get on my nerves. If he wants to talk intelligently go into politics or something. A Pokemon forum is hardly the place for intellectual conversation.
I took that as a complaint. A mistake on my part, then?

...Frost, I thought you weren't prone to uber exclamation marks o_o But yes, hi...

As to why I thought he hadn't returned, 22sa, I thought he was still gaming and had just forgotten to close le window.

Afterall, Lily wrote some pretty deep stuff for a 12 year old, thus receiving all the "are you really 12?" statements.
My heart is crushed, Frost...I wrote some good stuff last year too ;_;. 'course, ya didn't know me then, but still. Crushed.

As fun as these little discussions are to read, let's all cool it with the bickering. If you don't like the way someone is posting, just ignore them, it's that simple.
But people have a right to complain, no? :P

I'm pretty sure ignoring isn't the best idea since people are actually trying to chat here.

lol, uber exclaimation marks to me are like "Like OMGZ IT'S SUI HIIIIIII!!!111oneeleven" type of thing. I'm fine with using exclaimation marks by itself, even if it's "a few times in a row" ;p

I'm on RO still, but you know I can minimize window to come on this ;p afterall, I'm in a map with no aggressive enemies... if I see something to post, I can just let the game go on and won't die anyway. ^_^

Have I read any of your stories at all during any point of time? lol. So who knows =x there are tons of good writers who write some very mind provoking and long stuff at a very young age, and I won't be surprised if you're one of them. I mean, not all the 100+ review stories on ffnet are by the young adults, huh ;p

No. Certainly not a mistake on your part at all. That was most definately a complaint. =P

My disagreement is more or less, that there is no point in complaining. Not exactly that I don't agree with him. In more ways than not, I do agree with him.

@ Lily & Frostweaver:

Indeed, not all young members have young vocabulary or grammar. I'm not about to name members, but some do though. I apoligize if I offended anyone when I made that comment. Lily is obviously a great writer. And it's not necessarily the vocabulary used that is going to throw off younger members. It's the topics that are being discussed. It's a daily occurence where I try to discuss something on PC and a younger member will be totally lost.

Well, no one had broken any rules before it started and the complaints are over a pretty trivial issue, so it's pointless to complain when you can either skip the posts or put that person on your ignore list..

I thought we were actually having decent discussion in here for once. It's just a friendly disagreement. No one is really getting their panties in a twist, man. XD

People have a right to ignore too, but if you think about it such acts are pretty cowardly as opposed to speaking up. :P <-- That doesn't suit all personalities though I suppose. But to those who care enough about DCC as a public place to post for instance, will want to stand up against something they don't like in it.

Doesn't seem that way when certain people(not saying who) complain to me about it.

And dammit, I told you, those before, those panties have always been twisted.

No one is going to get that reference.

But over post length? That's a pretty petty reason to complain, especially on a message board where you can just ignore something you don't like.

Heartily agree ^_^
lol, DCC isn't always limited to only chat and nothing longer. Plus, surely in real life you have those bickering moments where you poke fun of and disagree with your friends ;p

I'm sure MegaFuz do not mind some old grandpa telling him to "POST LONGER" while I'm pretty sure the old guy doesn't mind "NUUUUU ;o;" either ;p

Well, at least i *don't* think so that the topic at hand is truly so hard to understand, right...? It's just... long post vs short post. Some of the supporting statements or examples can be confusing, but surely they can get the generic idea. They have the great discussion of "which came first, chicken or the egg?" in gr. 6 elementary, and this topic can't be more deep than that one XD;

Well, I must say I agree the reason is completely boring and trivial. BUt it seems some people are still interested in saying something about it. :P

And ... gotta admit, yes I have no idea what you are referring to. o_o; Who's panties have always been twisted? x_x;;;;;;;

Edit: Yes, the chicken came first, simply because eggs cannot survive on their own.

I'd rather not go into it, you'll eventually find it using google...if not, make up your own meaning to it.

You know what sucks? I was watching the news today and they said "President Bush has declared January 2nd a national day of mourning.". That makes me feel so awesome.
