Here's a few thoughts because I'm feeling like being active again.

1. How about we EACH board skin it's OWN banner. :ph43r: MUCH MORE APPEALING if you ask me. It doesn't matter yet how that can be done but isn't it a good idea? ;) I noticed while checking out the skins, the banner doesn't change and that's kinda boring. I thought since colors changed, the banners would have too. *heehee*


2. We need a FAQ page. In two years I still don't know what's actually allowed and what isn't. =p Then again it doesn't take a bowl of guacamole to have forum etiquette. -_- But what I'm saying is, there's no real point of reference for rules around here. The rules posted in each forum isn't much of a big help. There are no general rules. The minor rules per forum only make things confusing. Well, at least for me because I'm obessive compulsive like that...

EDIT: 3. SMILEYS dammit. =/ I are the very sad now.

... And so, those are my thoughts at the moment. I'm feeling some concern today and a little less apathetic. IT'S A GOOD THING. Anyway, tell me what you guys think about my suggestions. If you shoot me down, I'll shoot you right back- er, I mean, I'll defend those statements but then again, I already did that. Just tell me what you think about them or am I just an oldbie who doesn't pay attention and missed out things. :unsure: :blink:

No-one but you seems to care about smilies or extra banners. Actually, we should have polls on these, to see if anyone else does care. If they don't you can supply banners and smilies yourself and if they do, leave it up to the admins unless you wanna make some anyway :)

Point though, we need an FAQ, preferably made by someone who won't ban us for breathing too frequently.

They care, they just won't say anything.

1. Not sure how to do that yet..but I'll figure it out eventually.

2. Haha, me either! I know of the basic no spam, no flame, but..uh..*shrug* I'll pass that on to teh others. Mwaha.

And last but not least..

3. Find some smilies and I'll put them in. I tried looking for some a while ago, and I can't find diddly squat ^^, The ones I found were all huge and annoyingly stupid looking o.o; So uh..yeah, if anyone can find good ones, just let me know.

I wouldn't say you're having a hissy fit with this stuff. I'm actually happy that you're suggesting this stuff...nobody else ever does it directly >.> It's always, "Hey guys, look at that..shouldn't we uh...change um..." and it's in some random spam or what-have-you post xD

SPEAK UP PEOPLE. We can't deliver unless you tell us =/ Hell, if you feel the need to, just PM me your suggestions..I don't care :D

OMFG KT, I luuuuuurve you. That's what I was going to say anyway. (But yes, GREAT MINDS think alike. xDDD) Seriously, people here are soooooo apathetic (and notice how I mentioned I'm being less apathetic at the moment. No wonder we haven't really pushed forward that much in 2 years. We should have like 1000 members posting and sthuff but meh, who I am to blame or criticise anybody for this. I can't even take initiative myself. Hence I impose- ahem, suggest things to TPTB (the powers that be or should I say, TLTB - the lazeolbies that be *gets banned*) on occasion.

And I'm glad I was right about the FAQ. I've noticed that for a while myself but never got around to mentioning it until now. *nod* Well, I can do the FAQ if you like. I have good grammar. Promise. :lol: But I'll need an admin's/mod's help with this since I need higher authority, or hell I'll make my own rules since I'm Elder and all. xD It's time to impose titles from time to time. :lol: No, don't take any of that seriously.

Thirdly, lame smileys are gooooood. Ok, no they're not but we'll need somthing with a little more emotion AND most definitely, personal/custom ones that I'm willing and presenting myself to make but not to go over the limit of 5 ones.
Like: :aj: Doesn't make you all giggly sometimes? It doesn't for me so if you said yes to that question: lol@you.

Ok, before I go I'm sure everyone's annoyed at me for that now. That's hissy fitting from me. :ph43r: I think it's a good thing someone although she's one of those annoying random oldbies, is concerned with AT. Come on, I'm seeing activity. TAKE ADVANTAGE.

Actually, I offered you smilies many times before, so that isn't a problem IMO.

And some of your smilies are in there :P But they come with a slight pixely background problem.

:explode:

...

Anyway, Ill whip up an faq on the weekend or something and then you can see if you like it elza...hows that?

May I just say, fantabulous. (Augh, I can't believe I used that word. =p) I'll check it and add a few details in case I find something missing or whatever. Don't be biiiiias. Mmm'kay? B) I say that with respect. So, don't take it in a negative way.

Hurrrrah. I'll post the smileys here if and when I find the ones I'd like added. And yes, I agree the ones added by MS are great minus the pixelly bg. Maybe we can get rid of that? But I like how uniform they look; coming from the same batch and all. :explode:

Instead of acting like a bunch of kids, how about we all take criticisms like a real man/woman.

2 years and everyone's more or less still the same... Except for Kie, imho.

*hoping that DG and Vion will read this thread.*

It's their boards anyway. ^^

:aj:

Yesh, remember that people! :D

Heehee, sorry. ^^; I'd have handled some of this before if I had known, or if I had actually visited the board for two weeks. I promise I'm still a good person! ;_; Really!

Yay. 2 out of 3 suggestions! Now where is that FAQ.... :whistle:
LOVE teh emoticons/smileys! :roflmao:


I have changed... haven't I?? Hrm??? >:P

Well, I knew you'd love them, since you were the one who gave them to me to upload xD

Now we just need our new skin so that we can bypass the pixely background problem ^^

Ok...due to forseen circumstances, I havent been able to complete that faq I said I was...so can someone else do it? Sorry people, but I was just too tired/busy this weekend to do it...

Ah, crap. Well, if Elza wants to write one up, I'll supervise and add some stuff or whatever. I don't mind. ^_^

I'll be happy to!:D But you'll have to give me a couple of days or three. =/ I'm coinciding this with the banner I'll be doing as well. (as soon as I find those pictures, that is...) B)

No. You're still the oh so oppressive Empress. ;_; T_T

lol. jk. Yes, you've changed.

Me wants to help with the FAQ. =P

:aj:

Okay, go for it ^^ 'spose I can entrust the two of you won't kill eachother over what to write in it? :swt2:

Those smilies are addicting, btw.

might I just comment on a couple of these smilies?

:explode: - This one is cool...

:faq: - Is it just me or did elze somehow put this in to coincide with the faq being made???

:warn: - The face is classic...

:tch: - I like this one too...

:neo: - Now...why would this use : neo : as its tag I wonder? <_<

^_^ I put in the Neo part 'cause I'm evil like that. I couldn't help it..I was only gonna leave it in there 'til you noticed, haha ^^, *goes to change it to something spiffy now*

I think the smilies will work well, so long as we have a skin with a background that's white. :D

Wait, Aronic is Aj?

Yuppity yup yup. See how that's my avatar too. I just loooooved it. The sheer sarcasm.. is soo classic. B)

Smileys are addicting! I wanted more but I decided just to get ones we can actually use. Random ones may come later.. probably.. if KT lets me. :D


Shay: Aronic is moronic? (No, I'm kiiiiiiiiiiiding aj, don't keeeel me. :lol: Stop pointing out that I've become evil because I just might. =p) So, I answered your question, yes?


aj: Btw, I didn't know we're still married. xD Do we still have that marriage thingie? :blink: Me send you the finished product to be edited by you.

...and aren't you guys my parents? o_o; Guess I need to add that in again.

But err..yeah. Give it to aj, and I guess he can send it over to me and I'll :faq: before posting it up :P

Random smilies...why not? I don't see why everyone's so against them. Whether they're clickable or not, you'd still be able to post them with an img tag, so whatever xD GO SMILIES!

I think they were an awesome idea. So don't make me have to thwack the nonbelievers. :n00b:

Haha, parents who hate each other.

Btw, I'd just like to make an update in case you think I'm slacking off or anything. I'm actually done sans the RP and clan rules though because I know squat about that section. That would be aj's contribution. -_- So right now I'm waiting for his email or whatever. The FAQ I made has also been checked by KT so things are fiiiine and daaaaaandy. It'll be up soon!

I thought you'll email something to me and I'll just check it. O_o"

fine fine. It shall be done your highness. *goes to a corner and starts working again.* ;_;

Nevermind aj. I'm done now. Or at least with everything I'm sure about. The Clan section description is a little off because frankly, I DON'T GET IT. xD

So yay. *submits to KT and let's her do what she wants to do with it*

Cheers yo.

I dont get a copy? Why all of a sudden is it "Send it to KT" or "Ask KT to do this or that" now? I can do stuff you know... :tch:

Umm..'cause you didn't have the time to do it in the first place, and maybe we just assumed you wouldn't have the time to go over it? :err:

But its the principle of the thing...and it takes alot less time to read over something than to actually write it in the first place...but...I've read over it now and made changes...dont worry, nothing dramatic...elza did a great job with it...
