Shy

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by James [/i] [B][color=royalblue]I am in favor of major changes to our current chatrooms at theOtaku.com, so hopefully we'll be seeing some improvements there in the future.[/color] [/B][/QUOTE] [color=green]That is a very good idea James. For some reason I am not able to log into Otaku Chat with the name "Shyguy," and besides that, everyone there is a complete jerk. I don't chat very often, but when I do it is usually over IM or at some comic book site.[/color]

[color=green]Another history thread!? You would think we would get tired of talking about the past so much... :rolleyes: I found the boards after visiting theotaku.com's digimon section (this was a year ago, when the otaku didn't have [u]any[/u] content) Something compelled me to join the message boards, and four version numbers later I am still here.[/color]

[size=1][color=darkblue]This is a nice change of pace, 'wish I had thought if it first.. * Magic User's Club * Record of Lodoss War * Saint Tail * Samurai Pizza Cats (Okay, probably not rare. But those darn cats are funny!) * Shamanic Princess * Chibi-Maruku-Chan (A Personal Favorite) These may not be super- rare. But they aren't on tv, and I happen to enjoy them.[/color][/size]

[color=green]Yeah, she gets into a lot of "dulls" :whoops: I have seen Utena a few times, I am not a very big fan of the series though. I didn't find it to be very intersting, the characters seemed rather boring to me.[/color]

[color=green]The Simpsons is not going to end. Matt Groening made a comment in a magazine about how hard it was to create new ideas for episodes after so long.. and people translated that into meaning that the show would end. You don't have to worry about this show ending anytime soon. In fact they will probably make it to 400 episodes at least.[/color]

[color=green]I am very shy (hence the name.) In all of my high school years I haven't been very social at all. But this year I have made alot of newe friends, and am almost considered "popular" at my school. I don't know why I am so shy, it has always seemed to be a problem. I have problems opening up to people I don't know, which in turn makes it even harder for people to get to know me. I am especially bad around girls, but I really don't feel like getting into that right now. :whoops:[/color]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Cloud [/i] [B] [COLOR=indigo]wtf?[/COLOR] [color=green]Oops, I always seem to forget about you Cloud. You must think I hate you or something, which I don't, I am just stupid. And about Adam.. well obviously he has been here longer than anyone here,he madethe boards in the first place! I choose to revoke my statement before someone else gets mad at my stupidity.[/color]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Cloud [/i] [B] [COLOR=indigo]wtf?[/COLOR] [color=green]Well obviously Adam, but I always seem to forget about you Cloud. You must think I hate you, which I don't.. I am just forgetful. Let me revoke my statment, I seem to be getting in alot of trouble for it.[/color]:whoops:

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Cera [/i] [B]What-huh? -Cera [/B][/QUOTE] [color=green]Oh wait, I forgot about you didn't I? Sorry, won't happen again Cera. :toothy: [/color]

[color=green]It seems like every member has their own stories to tell about the history of the boards, and that's what makes this place so great. There are tons of little groups of friends scattered throughout these fine forums: the digi-peeps, the triads, Adam's angels, the list could go on for days. I joined in Version 1, which means that I have been here longer than everyone on staff (except for perhaps Justin, I don't know when he registered.) My favorite version was number 2. I remember this place being full of interesting topics, and a large cast of diverse personalities. Over time I think the older members have become a little jaded with the boards, and we kinda "grow up" together. This is not a bad thing however, especially when I think about the wonderful people who post here, they are some of the most passionate, caring, and intelligent people I have ever known. :whoops:[/color]

[color=green]Sometimes the two of you scare me.... Sure why not? But General Anime rarely gets posted in, so splitting it up into sub forums might hurt it a bit.[/color]

[color=green]Was this "last ep" in japanese or in english? Becuase I didn't think all of "Cardcaptors" had been dubbed...[/color]

[color=green]Yes, happy birthday. I sent James a PM about it before realizing there was a topic in GD already... oops.[/color]

[color=green]I love the new boards, great job James (and Adam, of course.)[/color]

[size=1]Arbok used to be my favorite, but I like Wobbafett now. I find him to be very funny.[/size]

[size=1]This is a bettle RPG? I thought this one had some sort of coherent plot. And now I am slightly more confused than ever...[/size]

[size=1]I thought about purchasing the video, but it costs over 50 dollars at my local Best Buy. I don't have that kind of money to spend on just one movie.[/size]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by SuperSayian [/i] [B]It kinda looks like Sephiroth... Maybe a fan-draw pic? :huh: :confuse2: :twitch: [/B][/QUOTE] [size=1]Alot of anime characters look like that: Long grey hair, swords... it could also be Vicous from Cowboy Bebop.[/size]

[size=1]As far as I know that is tyhe only time it is on TV... sorry.[/size] :whoops:

[size=1]1. Do you spend much time in this forum? - Yes 2. Do you contribute a lot of poetry? - I don't like poetry, too melodramatic. 3. Do you read a lot of poetry posted here? - Yes 4. For the most part, do you enjoy it? - No 5. How would you describe most of the poetry posted here? -Depressing, or boring. 6. Do you write [or have you, in the past, written] much poetry that could be considered "depressing"? - No 8. Do you prefer reading "depressing" or "lighthearted" poetry? - lighthearted 9. And does the phrase "you have to suffer to write" mean anything to you? - Yes[/size]

[size=1]I originally thought I was going to hate Medabots but after a few episodes I fell in love with the characters (like I do in every series, d'oh!) Rokusho is my favorite character in the series, which is very odd. I rarely pick out the "cool" characters as my favorite, I am more prone to liking the goofy or silly ones instead.[/size]

[size=1]Hmm, that name sounds familiar. I might have seen it, can you tell me what is about?[/size]

[size=1]Oh, an RPG I can join. I have been meaning to get into these things again... it has been ages. Name: Josh Age: 16 Height: 5'11" Weight: 140 lbs. weapon(s): Umbrella attacks: Hitting people with his umbrella Special Move(s): Shoots a bolt of energy from his umbrella. Race: huh? Looks: Unbelievably handsome, so handsome that the ladies from all over the world travel for weeks just to look at him.[/size]

[size=1]Mon Colle Knights is a pretty silly show. It isn't incredibly deep or thought provoking like many other anime, but since I am usually half asleep when it comes on I don't mind. The professor is pretty funny, everything he does is really exaggerated and melodramatic.. it cracks me up.[/size]
