xD I can see you're running out of names for me. Lucky you, then since class ends in about 5 minutes. *still has no idea what she's going to do during art since her art class isn't even at school*

I'm in Computer Science/Studies/Whatever it's called. Our school is stupid and didn't even have YouTube blocked until about a month or two ago. o_o; And you'd think by now they'd notice PC since I'm on it virtually every day during this class. xD Same with Triffy and Kura in past years when we all had classes with internet access. I can't complain though; it'd be really boring without the internet. *finishes everything before everyone else and needs a slacking off outlet*

 

[MegaFuz]

Yeah, I've got no problem whatsoever with them taking off. The intelligence level in here is now above that of a fly. XD

[EDIT] Wow, I obviously stalled way too long on that post.

 

[Drummershuff]

Princess? I thought Origin reserved that nick already? :P

I'm not just called Princess, though, the other end of the name I believe would be censored for the forum. XD

I think it was quite a shame the British comedy topic didn't last. Could have gone for hours on that one. Big-ish posts, still.

It did go on for hours...if you include the 11 hours gap then it went on for nearly 24. Meh, I try to do big-ish posts now. Most of mine used to be one liners, but recently, if you look back, they're beginning to be a short small paragraph. :3

The second part wouldn't actually be censored by the forum, I've already tried, it's just wholly innappropriate. XD

I was gonna say that, it was the longest topic we've had for a while. XD

And posts don't have to be epic, it just would be nice if every post had enough content to stretch a conversation and to talk about multiple topics within a topic, if you know what I mean.

But some people don't care about that.

It really isn't censored? Wow, I thought it would be. XD

The longest topic you and I have had? I think it's the only topic we've had together. Even our MSN chats you couldn't really say they had a point to them. XD

If you look back, most of mine in the DCC are terrible. I think over the past week or so I've appreciated that they need to have more a point, and I'm getting there....I think.

And yeah, some people really don't care about post quality - I can't really talk, but I'm sure some people that posted in here were worse than me.

I can recall one two chats where they've had a topic, the big family one we had and a smaller one about the..erm..park. XD

I was surprised it wasn't censored, but then I doubt that word would be used much in a Pokemon forum. XD

If you look back at the really old DCC's, you'll notice how 95+% posts were all meaningless one liners. And that's pretty much the only way you could post at that time. I can remember back when Ashley was a normal member and she was pretty much the only person who was making posts that spanned a paragraph.

..bB &lt? XD

And yet when the people that were a part of that come back here, they complain about how terrible the DCC is now. It's really no different, except it isn't quite as active. I think they tend to make the old DCC out to be more than it really was. It was still brainless muttering back then, too.

Ah, yes, that park chat comes is coming back to me now. You never finished telling me all the details of how that...lamppost fell down. XD

I suppose you're right. You wouldn't normally bring it up in a normal conversation either. Whatever possessed you to call it me I'll never know. XD

Mhm, probably, it doesn't surprise me at all, really. And Ashley's always done essay posts, so it's expected from her. I just wish I could do bigger posts, but even now I'm struggling to think of things to say in reply. ><;

And, wtf? That was suppose to be "bB <3". I guess the quote system doesn't like < for some reason.

That's exactly the point. No doubt those people had fun in the old DCC, and most of them enjoyed how quickly their post count was rising, but they do seem to be stuck in their old ways. In my opinion, this DCC as it is and has been for the past few days is the best DCC that I've been a part of. Minus the 11 hour thread kill, of course. XD

OMFG Princess! I just saw the first 3-4 threads that you made. What a n00b. XD

Right. Minus the first few days where the n00b squad commandeered it, the January DCC has been pretty l33t.

 

[Drummershuff]

Seriously, we're NOT even going there. I wish I could delete them. My welcome post is just the worse, I still have no idea what I was going on about in it... it doesn't make sense at all. XD

EDIT: And yeah, I did have fun in the DCCs I was posting in with John and that. But looking back it was pathetic the way we talked about getting a big post count and everything. That's why I was talking about getting a post count drop the other day...

Awesome, I look in here and I see my name mentioned! <3 For the longest time, I found it hard to make a post that was shorter than a paragraph. But now my posts tend to be shorter because if I type a lot, I know no one will bother reading it. Thinking back, my posts in the DCC before they became seasonal used to be HUGE. Like, they literally were essay-sized. XD;

I really do like the DCC like this. We're actually able to have a real conversation about something. And, for the most part, the topics aren't constant inside-jokes that don't allow anyone else to join into the conversation...

 

[viridian doubletongue]

I hated it when the DCC topic was personalised to just a few people T.v~... Really got on my nerves. Isn't so much like that anymore. It's good.

Though, it's funny how half the time the topic in the DCC -is- about the DCC.

 

[Dawson]

There's also your "How do I be a moderator" thread as well..XD Which, ironically, Sammi answered to XD

Your name has actually been mentioned a couple of times by me. XD

And I actually did read your posts, hence them being so vivid in my memory. XD

Me too, I'd been preaching about the DCC needing actual conversations ever since I came back, and I'm glad that it actually happened. Like, the animal stories we told the other day was the best and most memorable discussion I've seen in a DCC in as long as I can remember. And it was a topic that anybody could've joined in and added to.

And you need to post more, Ashley. You're one of the good posters. XD

 

[Drummershuff]

There's also your "How do I be a moderator" thread as well..XD Which, ironically, Sammi answered to XD

Yeah, when I said "don't go there" it means don't start talking about how I used to be. It's so...evil and I regret just about everything I posted back then. I'd start a new account if I didn't know so many people by this username.

And I actually did read your posts, hence them being so vivid in my memory. XD

Even though I don't make essay posts myself, I really enjoy reading a big post, whatever the size of it. I'll sit for ages reading some old threads and posts, but it's usually the essay sized ones that I'll take the time to read. The shorter ones I'll just skim past. Andy's rants in the Nintendo fanclub are something that is really enjoyable to read... even if I don't make a comment on it myself. XD

I believe I was offline when that discussing was going on, which sucks, as I do have a few interesting animal stories, if I could remember all the details. I read it after, however, and it was...interesting, to say the least. XD

 

[*~Ashley~*]

Well, then I'm pretty sure you were one of the few that would actually be willing to read a post that long. XD Most people see posts that are more then three lines long and get freaked out and ignore it. <<;

If topics like that one keep popping up while I'm online, I'll gladly post here more. It's just that I don't even bother to post when the topics aren't worth it. If everything stays similar to the way it's been this month, you'll probably see much more of me in here. XD;

It's okay, I was a n00by game maker when I first joined PC as well. In fact, you'd be surprised at just how many staff members were n00bs when they first joined.

Andy's rants were incredible. Seriously, not many people could rant so long and so often about one single subject.

I believe I was offline when that discussing was going on, which sucks, as I do have a few interesting animal stories, if I could remember all the details. I read it after, however, and it was...interesting, to say the least. XD

To be completely honest, there's never a bad time to tell a story, so if you want to tell a story about anything at all, go ahead. It could end up being a good topic.

Well, then I'm pretty sure you were one of the few that would actually be willing to read a post that long. XD Most people see posts that are more then three lines long and get freaked out and ignore it. <<;

It's like what Erica and I were saying earlier, you can't really get to know a person when all they're doing are posting constant one liners. That's why longer posts are so much better, you can find out more about a person.

And I've read every single long post in this thread and completely ignored the one line posts of a couple of members, so I guess I'm a little different. XD

Given how quite a few members and staff have said that the DCC is a lot better this way, I think it should stay this way. Of course, there are always gonna be people that can't write a decent post to save their lives, but I'm hoping, and expecting, the majority of posts to be of a decent standard.

And long posts scare away n00bs, so we get decent conversations and less n00bs. Double win. XD

I know, but your noobish days we ages ago. Mine are recent, and I'm still not completely un-noobish now, so yeah...I'm trying to get out of them and forget them at the same time.

Andy's rants were incredible. Seriously, not many people could rant so long and so often about one single subject.

I know! He should have some sort of award being able to that. I don't think I could do that in real life, let alone online. XD

To be completely honest, there's never a bad time to tell a story, so if you want to tell a story about anything at all, go ahead. It could end up being a good topic.

I would tell the stories if I could actually remember all the details. Seriously though, I hate all types of insects, and this was how I nearly ate cockroach type thing at the paintball site. I believe it was after I bought some food and it was in there. Eww, just thinking about it scares me. XD

It's like what Erica and I were saying earlier, you can't really get to know a person when all they're doing are posting constant one liners. That's why longer posts are so much better, you can find out more about a person.

All the people I've met from the DCC I haven't known really well until one of us has added the other to MSN and we've got talking from then. I guess when there's a few "speed posters" you don't get to learn anything about the other people posting.

 

[Sammi]

It's okay, I was a n00by game maker when I first joined PC as well. In fact, you'd be surprised at just how many staff members were n00bs when they first joined.

Myself included, I think. My posts weren't very great, I sometimes shudder reading them. I mean... I think it's mainly the way I talked back then. It was... very strange.

I also aspired to be a mod, and I don't think I would've made a good one back then. I was more about the power than the actual position. I see that as n00bish. Or maybe it's more because it was *me*. I'm pretty hard on myself.

It's like what Erica and I were saying earlier, you can't really get to know a person when all they're doing are posting constant one liners. That's why longer posts are so much better, you can find out more about a person.

I kind of agree... but on the other hand, in other threads, you might find out something about the person. But then again, my favorite forum is OVP, and you really can't answer a poll without telling something about yourself, even if it's just a habit or something. *shrug*

But in the DCC about some random topic? Most likely not. :/

I have to agree as well; just reading the last page was interesting, I think. However, I don't know if I could contribute very well. Sometimes I just can't talk much about something, you know? :/

That's probably why I don't post in the DCC often. I don't post where I feel uncomfortable. o.o;

I know, but your noobish days we ages ago. Mine are recent, and I'm still not completely un-noobish now, so yeah...I'm trying to get out of them and forget them at the same time.

I think even the best of us grow, even if you think we're nowhere near n00bs. Growth is a natural part of life, and if you don't, it's really a shame. :/

I know I've grown a lot since I've joined, and I'm still trying to better myself. ^^
Same with my writing; I've changed a whole bunch, and I'm doing my best to grow in the right ways. If I don't grow, I'm going to shoot myself. </3



These replies seem really really short. :/ Meh, I'm not much of an essay poster at all. I really have to be motivated to post anything really long.

Like, there was this one post in a poll... I was really proud of it ♥ It was talking about changing my past, and I explained my reasoning. It turned out pretty well for one of my posts. I might have to search for it in my LJ; I was so proud I posted about it. o.o;

 

[*~Ashley~*]

It's okay, I was a n00by game maker when I first joined PC as well. In fact, you'd be surprised at just how many staff members were n00bs when they first joined.

Heh, yeah. I was definitely one too. Luckily I was able to realize it and change the way I typed and acted within a month or so of joining. I hate looking at my really old posts from three years ago, eww. x_x

It's like what Erica and I were saying earlier, you can't really get to know a person when all they're doing are posting constant one liners. That's why longer posts are so much better, you can find out more about a person.

Mhmm, I agree. That's why I steer clear of here when the conversation consists solely of one-liners. I'd rather post in here when I actually get a chance to talk to people and maybe even learn something about someone in the process.

And I've read every single long post in this thread and completely ignored the one line posts of a couple of members, so I guess I'm a little different. XD

I do the same thing. I'm sure we're two of the only ones that actually read lengthy posts though. XD; Most people are too lazy...

And long posts scare away n00bs, so we get decent conversations and less n00bs. Double win. XD

I really hope it stays like this too. It actually gives me a chance to be active in the forum I mod in. XD; And yeah, I totally agree with that last line. XD
