OOC: And considering you can't double post... I guess it's my turn again... IC: "You talking about me...?" Ana turned sharply upon hearing Ryu's voice. [i]"He sounds almost casual!"[/i] she thought in disgust. Ryu blinked a few times. "You okay?" "Just thinking," murmured Ana hotly after a moment. "Yeeeeeeeeah..." said Ryu raising an eyebrow doubtfully.

If it can be done with a computer, he knows how to do it. His father, before his passing away, used to work for the company in charge of producing the AU program, and so also has a good idea of how the basic mechanics work [b]Reason for picknig the side they did:[/b] If he was a hacker, he'd know that with his luck he'd get caught. Just the question, the good guys do have some cmputer knowledge right? Just so I know...

Zell was dropped off to look for his chocobo. [color=orangered]"Great Female, eh? Hmm..."[/color] He nearly fell over as the chocobo ran straight past him, treading on his toes with a sqwuak. [color=orangered]"OWWW!! What?! Come back here you little...!"[/color] He took off running after the chocobo, still screaming. [color=orangered]"We're gonna make chocobo pie outta you buddy!! Just see if we don't!!"[/color] The chocobo, upon hearing this, turned slightly. And Zell could've sworn he saw it grin at him. The chase continued for a little while, until Zell got sick of it and slowed down. He stopped eventually, eyeing up the chocobo, which had also stopped in an attempt to spite him. [color=orangered]"Y'know... I need to catch you before they get back. Otherwise I'll look like an idiot (again), and that wouldn't be good."[/color] The chocobo sqwuaked it's reply. [color=orangered]"Yeah,"[/color] murmured Zell, [color=orangered]"Sure you say that now... but..."[/color] During the exchange, Zell had inched quite close to the chocobo. Then with a leap and a roar he flung himself at it, tackling it to the ground. Feathers flew everywhere and Zell coughed and spluttered on them. The the airship appeared above him. Zell suddenly felt he had an audience. Quickly it landed and the others helped get the panicked chocobo aboard. "That was unorthadox," decided Zack eventually. "I'm surprised it didn't kill you." [color=orangered]"Never mind that! We've still got things to do right?"[/color] declared Zell running for the airship. With that they flew back to the Chocobo Farm to see how Rinoa was doing.

Bah! I wish I was leaving school this year... I still have a year of it to go. I hate you people who are getting out in May! BAAAAAH!! I don't get out until the end of June, possibly early July, I'm not sure... *grumble grumble* I go on exam leave in May though... I have to come into school for exams, and I'm totally stressing out over here. X_x I'm gonna fail everything... I just know it :(

Hmm... I reackon you should leave the cloud out, but make the font the same as it was before... ^_^ And I can read the name on an avi, very novel there! *congratulates*

Yup, your eyes are properly proportioned this time *oogles for a while* How come I can't draw like that?! Wow, do you copy from anything? I sit and reproduce pictures that I find, like manga frames or whatever. That's the only way my art comes out looking anything near decent O_o! Heh, nice one! \/O_~

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Hittokiri Zero [/i] [B]There are "ghost" and "dark" type Pokemon (rofl) now how come no one's complaining about them being evil? O_o!!?[/B][/QUOTE] Heh, if you remember, there was a lot of talk about it being "evil" - For example, the "colourless" creatures in the pokemon card game had a symbol like a star, and religious groups all over the country were protesting that is was evil and trying to convert their children with religious propaganda O_o But anyway... No I don't reckon Yu-Gi-Oh's evil... I'm not a fan of it either... But it's a cartoon, that's all it was and all it ever will be (aside from a card game... and various types of merchandise, ack >_

Y'know what... I for one like it... It's really interesting *sits and stares at it for a few moments* Woo it boggles your mind! In a good way ;) I'm thinking the "spectral view" text is in a little too much from the left... not much, just a tad... but that's just my opinion and I'm [i]really[/i] nitpicking. I'm not really in a position to critisise. That's amazing compared to what I manage to come up with O_o An example of which is "find pretty picture > change it somehow > add text" heh heh, so, overall I like! ^_^

Ohhh Those shadows officially kick butt! *cackles happily* Wow O_o I'm thinking the "no text" one looks the best - but I see what you mean about it looking a little bare... I think I'm with Ginny on that front - and a few other have said it, but the font is a little square. 9.8/10 methinks! ^_^

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Shyguy [/i] [B]To be honest, most popular people are popular for a reason, and most popular people are unpopular for a reason.[/B][/QUOTE] Uhh... Y'know he's got a point there... If you're gonna whine about it then you have problems... O_o I give you encouragement and I've "misunderstood you"? But... ack... I don't think it's worth going into... I don't think that was such a nice thing to say when so many people "did" give you that encouragement... You don't ever [b]want[/b] people to have to cry for you like they did for sept 11th. I wouldn't [i]want[/i] to hurt that many people that much. If you're worried about being popular... ick... I'm not popular. I have no idea of how I'm thought of on the boards (fondly, or so I hope ;)) but, amongst my friends I'm popular. They're my friends [i]because[/i] they're like me and they like who I am. I suppose it depends what you mean by popular doesn't it...

[QUOTE]Cloud = [color=Indigo]Indigo[/color] Zack = Black Zell = [color=orangered]OrangeRed[/color] Rikku = [color=green]Green[/color] Rinoa = [color=blue]Blue[/color][/QUOTE] Zell blinked a few times, still surprised by Cloud's spurt of speech. Then he pulled himself together. [color=orangered]"I'm up for a chocobo search!"[/color] He declared suddenly. Then he paused before adding. [color=orangered]"I've never seen one. That should be interesting!"[/color] He glanced at Cloud, remembering his quiet and perhaps brash nature, and looked like he was maybe rethinking. But he stuck to his decision. Cloud looked at Zell and rolled his eyes. Then he glanced at Zack. [color=Indigo]"Are you [i]sure[/i] we have to split up like this?"[/color] [color=orangered]"Hey!!"[/color] Zack, shaking his head slightly, turned to Rikku and Rinoa. "Well, ladies?"

Heh the pic on the left is funny, you should dedicate a banner to that picture alone O-o! I like it, but I think the one in your sig right now takes the beans - maybe it's the fading around "the wind waker" that does it... *shrugs* ^_^ I'm in awe though *sits in awe*

[b]If you could choose only one new BIG feature for OtakuBoards, what would it be?[/b] Eek! I've filled out the rest of the survey before coming back to this... and I honestly can't think of something. The only thing that comes to mind is maybe more "events" in the events forum, but that's not really a big "feature"... so.. meh... [b]If you could only add one new forum to OtakuBoards, what would it be?[/b] A few days ago I would have said .hack//SIGN O_O Now I say... urm... *thinks hard* I heard somebody a mention a Manga forum/sub forum a little while ago... I like that idea alot... [b]Would you like to see a closer link between OtakuBoards and sister site, theOtaku.com?[/b] That's something I would love to see O_O! In fact on some sites I've seen places where people can archieve their work under a username (maybe the one on OB?) But then I can see that would use up alot of space on a server... But I would really like to see some kind of membership thing on theOtaku - to make the link more... i dunno prominent I suppose - I see OB and theOtaku as two seperate sites to be honest O_o [b]Would you like to see OtakuBoards open an affiliation program with other message boards?[/b] That doesn't bother me either way. As long as the logos for the affiliated sites didn't get in my way too much. I don't think I'd spread too much away from OB. [b]Do you feel that theOtaku.com's chat system should be linked to OtakuBoards?[/b] An interesting idea... I tried to get onto the chat thing a little while ago and it didn't let me :( but yeah, I think I'd be interested in that ^_^ [b]Are you satisfied with the level of spam control on OtakuBoards?[/b] Exactly right! Whenever spam's afoot it gets squished ^^ You can NEVER have too much spam control! If advertising's done, it's done in the siggy. ^_^ Appropriate and I like it the way it is! [b]If you could access OtakuBoards on a handlheld device (PDA, Generation 3 Mobile Phone, etc), would you access it regularly in this way?[/b] No I wouldn't... But then my mobile phone's a brick from centuries ago O_o so I probably couldn't anyway. [b]Is it more important to have a large variety of skins, or smaller (and higher quality) range of skins?[/b] I think a larger variety... Infact I reckon that there should be some kind of challenge to come up with skins. Post a tutorial somewhere and let people take up the challenge. I think, even though you'd get some naff ones, you might find a few gems, we've got a few artists on OB! [b]Would you prefer to have animed/gaming-themed skins or completely original works?[/b] I think I'd prefer the themed ones, if I had to specify between gamed and animed, I'd say animed, but I dunno if you were asking that O_o [b]Do you actively engage Moderators and Category Moderators if you are having problems on OB?[/b] Generally... no... But I haven't had many problems. If it was a serious one then yeah I would. But if it's just technical stuff I would check in the respective forum to see if it's been asked before, then post a topic about it. *shrugs* [b]Are you satisfied with OtakuBoards' child protection policies?[/b] The rules cover everything, but sometimes it's not followed. I know more than once I've seen things starred (like ***) and not corrected, even though the rules prohibit it... I'm not saying I mind the stars, I prefer them to actual swearing, but if it's in the rules then it should be taken as seriously as say... spamming. *shrugs again* Just my opinion though ^^ [i]EDIT: Yup, I've got it now *cringes and feels like an idiot after going and re-reading the rules* Sorry! My mistake![/i] Oh and I LIKE the banner idea O_o I've had loads of trouble finding hosts, they've all stopped their service (or they had when I was trying to look for them) so, yeah! Go OB! *chuckles*

[QUOTE]Cloud = [color=Indigo]Indigo[/color] Zack = Black Zell = [color=orangered]OrangeRed[/color] Rikku = [color=green]Green[/color] Rinoa = [color=blue]Blue[/color][/QUOTE] OOC: Whoa... yeah... speedy Tantalus O_o() IC: "So come on, come on, where's the fire?!" Rikku started giggling at Zack's half-awake grumbling, Rinoa and Cloud not far behind. Giggling gleefully, Rikku bounced in front of the wheel (is it a wheel?) of the ship, singing something in Al Bhed. Zell scratched the back of his neck with a nervous chuckle. [color=orangered]"She dared me..."[/color] "What!?" [color=orangered]"She dared me to use the speaker thing, and I wanted to try it out."[/color] He was blushing by this point, the other three members of Avalanche giving him dumbfounded looks. [color=blue]"Zell... You're an idiot..."[/color] Zell chuckled at Rinoa's words. [color=orangered]"Yeah, I'm trying hard."[/color] [color=indigo]"So there is no team meeting?"[/color] Zell shrugged in response to Cloud's mild question. [color=orangered]"There wasn't going to be, but, oh wonderful leader, if you would like to have one...?"[/color] Zell smirked slightly in teasing as he left the offer open. They'd have to get to know each other sometime... hiding in various parts of the Ragnarok wasn't going to help.

[i]Sometimes it's quiet... You can hear small things. But sometimes it's not... And you can't...[/i] Kelly looked down at what she'd just written and pushed her glasses up her nose with a knuckle. What was that supposed to mean? She sighed. She probably wouldn't ever find out. Standing from the chair she walked past her brother, Jason, who was channel surfing as per usual. "You going to talk to your [i]online[/i] friends?" "So what if I am?" Jason looked up at her for what was perhaps the first time that evening. That's how [i]close[/i] they were now. Their mother hadn't been seen all night... and their father... "Maybe you should be getting some [i]real[/i] friends?" "I have real friends, thank you very much." "No, you have "polygon things that pretend to be people"." "There are people at the other end of them." Jason snorted before turning back to the TV, having found something that appealled to him. Kelly paused, waiting for Jason to continue. But he didn't. So she moved off towards the family PC. She leaned down to press the button on the CD drive, her hair falling over her should as she did so. She'd done this so many times before, but somehow she felt this was going to be a little more special. Besides... This time she wasn't going to play a girl character. She smiled slightly to herself and murmured, "This should be interesting." "What did you say?!" "None of your business!" She sighed and picked up the headset. Then, before she put it on, another set of words came to her. She scribbled them down, wondering curiously as she did so. [i]What [/i]really[i] happens to the world that we leave behind...?[/i]

But my point I think is that he didn't even go into the house... they showed footage of it on TV, and he broke the patio doors in with some kind of bar, letting his dog free from the house... although, true, if he had had to go further into the house he probably would have done, but surely arresting him is a little extreme?

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by ChibiV [/i] [B]A lot of people would cry than you think. [/B][/QUOTE] I think Chib's just summed it up... I'm one of those emotional people... Even if I don't know a person too well, I feel for them... so the question is, as someone else said, "grieveing" over "crying"... and then lots more than you would ever think... lots and lots more...

Wow... I was just watching the news tonight and there was a [i]wierd[/i] thing on it... Somewhere in america, there was a house that was burning to the ground. Bits of it were falling off and it looked really dangerous. Police had everyone behind a line and firefighters were still tackling the blaze. And then a man out of the crowd broke through the police barrier, ran up to the back porch of the house and broke in through a back window. The man lived in the house and broke in to free his dog. He didn't even go into the house, and was hailed a hero for all of five minutes... Then the police arrested him for endangering his own life and those of the firefighters O_O! The firefighters didn't even try to follow him onto the porch! So they either weren't going to follow him or they could see what he was trying to do and didn't think he needed following... Should he have been arrested? *wonders*

So it's already released eh? *finds it strange it's not more widely publicised* Oh well ^_^, can't find it on amazon.com either which is a little wierd... Any idea who published it? *is off on a hunt* EDIT: Meep! I just looked at that website Mei, it says there it's a TV show... O_o I'm all confused now! Was the manga made into a TV series? Because that snapshot of the two kids looks REALLY like some manga scans I've seen... *prods people who know to help clear it up* O_o!

Hey hunter, mebbes you could use lola? I mean i know she was in space jam... but she's still a loony toon right?

[QUOTE][i]The thingy again[/i] Cloud = [color=Indigo]Indigo[/color] Zack = Black Zell = [color=orangered]OrangeRed[/color] Rikku = [color=green]Green[/color] Rinoa = [color=blue]Blue[/color][/QUOTE] [color=green]"Does this mean we won?"[/color] Zell smiled. [color=orangered]"Yeah... somehow, not really sure how... but yeah..."[/color] [color=blue]"That was a stroke of luck!"[/color] Rinoa was smiling too. After such a bumpy start team Avalanche hadn't come out of it too badly. "Luck?" cried Zack. "Tantalus started out with 100000 gil!" [color=orangered]"Yeah, but look what they did with it."[/color] "I guess that's true," mused Zack to himself. [color=Indigo]"And we got the Ragnarok,"[/color] pointed out Cloud thoughtfully. [color=green]"Yeah!"[/color] cried Rikku, hurrying towards the Ragnarok on the left. [color=green]"Let's go!"[/color] Zell was hot on her heels. So was the rest of team Avalanche, keen to explore what they had "unwittingly" managed to obtain.

[QUOTE][i]Humm dee hmm[/i] Cloud = [color=Indigo]Indigo[/color] Zack = Black Zell = [color=orangered]OrangeRed[/color] Rikku = [color=green]Green[/color] Rinoa = [color=blue]Blue[/color][/QUOTE] OOC: Well, after our little escapade, I figured the quicker we got there the better ^_^ IC: So, with Rikku finally located, the group made the boat at Junon and finally got to Icicle Inn. [color=orangered]"I don't believe it! Tantalus is probably waaaaaay ahead of us by now!"[/color] Cloud glanced over at Zell, glaring slightly. [color=Indigo]"And who's fault is that? Exactly?"[/color] Zell glanced at Rikku but said nothing, suitably ashamed. [color=orangered]"Fine fine,"[/color] he muttered, [color=orangered]"I get the point."[/color] [color=blue]"Oh cheer up!"[/color] exclaimed Rinoa. [color=blue]"We're not out of this yet!"[/color] [color=orangered]"Yeah! You're right!"[/color]

Whistling, Saiki scratched his head, watching the dead dragon disintergarate. "Just one week?! Wow... This is some heavy duty stuff here..." Geist was staring wide-eyed and Ghar was more than a little surprised. Austin chuckled nervously. "What? Why're you all staring at me like that?" "You just cut the freakin' thing in two! Did you even aim?!" Saiki gestured wildly with his staff as he ranted. "You shouldn't be able to do that!! I mean...!" "But he did," pointed out Ghar solemnly. "So what's causing it?" Geist's voice was quiet and thoughtful. "Why don't we gate off this server? Check the boards for logged in players?" "The chaos gates don't work properly," said Saiki. "And besides, we have to log out to read the board." Ghar murmured his agreement. "There was an evactuation flash a few minutes before I got stuck." He glanced about. "Did anyone else hear it?" Saiki shook his head. "I must've logged in just after it. I didn't hear a thing." "I still say we should go for the chaos gate. Going somewhere else is better than being stuck here." Austin blinked as Geist made his suggestion. "Does my opinion count?" Saiki smirked slightly and tilted his head. "How long have you been playing?" "Like I said, a week." "Then, no, your opinion doesn't count just yet sparky." Ghar shot a glare at Saiki. "Don't you support newbies?" "Well yeah... but..." "But?" "Aww," Saiki kicked at the dirt with a foot. "Never mind." "What's wrong with newbies?" demanded Geist suddenly. Saiki shot him a curious look. "You're a newb' too?" "So what if I am?" Saiki sighed and scratched his head. "Okay, okay. I surrender. But, let's stop whining and get to a gate if that's what we're going to do... I have a feeling there's still more players to find..." ~~~~~ OOC: Sorry Xra, I was planning on finding you this post O_o I'm sure I've left an opening for someone else to do it though! *apologises and can understand how annoying it would be to be stuck in a mountain*

[QUOTE][i]"Colour Chart" Mwahaha [/i] Cloud = [color=Indigo]Indigo[/color] Zack = Black Zell = [color=orangered]OrangeRed[/color] Rikku = [color=green]Green[/color] Rinoa = [color=blue]Blue[/color][/QUOTE] Zell peered into the building, muttering under his breath. He hoped she wasn't going to make a point of getting into trouble. There was attention seeking... but this was ridiculous. And there she was, crying her little heart out. Zell grabbed at her wrist and turned back to the others, pulling her out of the building none too gracefully. [color=orangered]"We've got her!"[/color] He sighed, turning to the blonde, who looked like she was about to start crying again. [color=orangered]"We don't have time to mess about like this Rikku, next time we'll leave you..."[/color]

OOC: Sure I'll go along with it... O_o ONWARDS!! *steals the colour code too* Cloud = [color=indigo]Indigo[/color] Zack = Black Zell = [color=orangered]OrangeRed[/color] Rikku = [color=green]Green[/color] Rinoa = [color=blue]Blue[/color] IC: The Avalanche team jogged along in an attempt to get to Midgar quickly. [color=orangered]"Airship, airship, my kingdom for an airship!"[/color] "What the heck are you talking about?" [color=orangered]"I don't know, geez!"[/color] Then, Zell glanced over his shoulder. [color=orangered]"Hey, where's the blonde one?"[/color] [color=blue]"What?"[/color] Zell groaned and turned around, causing everyone else to stop with him. [color=orangered]"We've already lost one. Where's Rikku?"[/color]
