[FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"][SIZE="1"][COLOR="Navy"]I tend to get "overly-sarcastic" when I don't have ample sleep. My coping and tolerance levels take a big dip. Unless, of course, someone gives me a carbonated soda. Then I'm a little more willing to deal with you. My parents got Rock Band 2 today and are now addicted to it. I forsee my chances of playing Street Fighter IV going from 50% to 3%.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[SIZE="1"][COLOR="Navy"][FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"]Nope, don't worry. You actually did the right thing by skimming the threads to make sure if there wasn't anything up. I would have just merged your posts if there was a thead anyways. So yeah, discuss away. Me, personally, I've been wanting to get into this game, but I've really kinda grown impatient with RPGs. The last one I think that I played was [b]Tales of Vesperia[/b] and that was pretty fun. But I'll probably wait till later to play it.[/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE]

[FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"][SIZE="1"][COLOR="Navy"]You're know you're otaku when: 1) You make a thread called "You Know You're Otaku When" 2)You're a moderator on an anime website. 3)You're a moderator on two anime websites that are on the same network 4) You are often AFK, watching anime on Youtube. 5)You have VA's sign your Fullmetal Alchemist dvd covers 6) You attend Anime Conventions Is that bumped enough?[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"][SIZE="1"][COLOR="Navy"]Sorry for the lack of questions, everyone. I totally spaced on telling everyone I was leaving. So! To make it up to you, time to move on. Cat nails the first round. The answers are: 1) AC/DC 2) Three Six Mafia The current score is: [B]Cat: 2 Japan: 0 pikaquil:0[/B] ~~~~~~~~~ Today's questions are: [I]1) This band has sold the most albums worldwide. 2)Which artist has won the Most Grammy awards?[/I][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] ~~~~~~~~~ [FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"][SIZE="1"][COLOR="navy"]Good luck everyone![/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"][SIZE="1"][COLOR="Navy"]I would suggest uninstalling the game and re-installing it. If the problem persists, then it's just a faulty disc that isn't working with your PC. I dunno how readily available that game is, but I would suppose that would be the case.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"][SIZE="1"][COLOR="Navy"]Hello Otaku and welcome to my newest event, [b]Where's Waldo?[/b]. Like the book series of the same name, I will send you searching the depths of Otakuboards in hopes of finding the Waldo of each post. Spare no detail, do not leave any rock unturned. ANYTHING and EVERYTHING is fair game. Everyone is welcome to play this game. So have fun and hopefully we'll recover some pretty good memories ;) Everyone remembers Nomurah (Whoa,Mann ; I'm not Nomurah; w/e). He is famous for giving his opinion straight to you, without regards to your feelings. What thread did he go a little too far in and recieve the mod whack (later reversed) in?[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"][SIZE="1"][COLOR="Navy"]Another week of Otaku Jeopardy! Who can top our current champion [b]Cat[/b]? This week's questions revolve around Music. They will span multiple genres and artists across multiple eras.Here's the first day's questions. 1)This band had a demonic reputation, with enemies calling their name "Anti Christ/ Devil Child". 2)They won an oscar while telling us how hard it is for a pimp. Good luck everyone!:catgirl:[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"][SIZE="1"][COLOR="Navy"]I've done some pretty awful things in the name of hurting one of my exes, but I immediately felt like garbage afterwards. So no matter how you may feel at this point in time, I'd advise you to be the better person and just move on. I don't think your ex was purposely trying to hurt you, but this is speaking in generalities without knowing your ex's personality. Either way, rise above that nonsense and move on with your life.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"][COLOR="navy"]Hmm so let's see.[/COLOR][/FONT] [quote name='bokchoyjialu'][FONT=Arial Narrow]I only looked on the first page to see if any of what I'm going to say has been said before, and I didn't see them. Plus since some of the issues I want to address are apparently still around, I'm assuming they haven't been mentioned. So here they are. [B]Issues: [/B][/FONT][LIST=1] [*][FONT=Arial Narrow]At theO, new comments are organized as 'X new comments (X new replies)' at the Backroom. What bothers me—and I'm sure other people as well—is that it will say that there is a new comment when that new comment is by you. Say you have 1 new reply by another user, and then you reply to that person. If you return to your backroom, it will say '1 new reply'. When you go see that "new" comment, you find out it's your reply to that other user. I find this kind of annoying, and I hope it will be fixed.[/FONT] [*][FONT=Arial Narrow]Also in the page which lists new comments/replies, in the 'Comment Replies' section, the link to the replier's portfolio doesn't work. Since it only gives a snippet of the comment, it doesn't show everything the user said. And when I click on the snippet, the comment box doesn't even send you to the right portfolio (yes, this issue is usually only applied to when other users reply to you in their or someone else's portfolio other than yours). So instead, I have to type in the address bar the link to that person's portfolio... which could get tiring.[/FONT] [*][FONT=Arial Narrow]When you modify a post, artwork, or anything that you've already submitted, I wish that it will stay on that same page [for modifying] so that in case anyone wants to further make changes, they don't have to constantly select which art piece or post, etc. that they want to make changes to, and keep cycling in that manner. It gets really annoying, especially for someone like me who likes perfection and I'm trying to find a suitable design for my World, let's say for example, and I'm trying to test different colors, and so on.[/FONT] [*][FONT=Arial Narrow]Now, in comment boxes [for when you leave a description for your fan art, wallpaper, etc. or are creating a post for your World], when you make special changes to your text, such as making selected text bold, italic, or adding a smiley, you immediately get sent back to the top. Now this could be really irritating, since I post my stories in my World, and they're usually really long that when I get sent back all the way to the top of the comment box, I have to take the time to scroll back down to where I left off to continue to make any further changes.[/FONT][/LIST][/quote] [FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"][SIZE="1"][COLOR="navy"]1) Yes I agree with you on that. It's kind of weird to see your own comment on the "comments" list. However, I do see that sort of thing with Myspace and Facebook and it's really a small thing, so just seeing your comment on there isn't too too big a deal looking at it. 2)Yes you are right. I tested this myself and it sends you back to theOtaku's main page. Good find there. 3) While this is certainly annoying, going back and forth to make something perfect is only a minor inconvience. It'd be cool if theOtaku would take a page off of myspace's book and let you preview your page as you are editing it. That'd be nifty. 4)Sounds like a script error. I tested this and it does happen to me sometimes, but not all times. A suggestion I would make to you is to just type out your tags if you want to post something in bold, italic, or put a url on it. That way this doesn't happen and you can continue on your merry way.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [quote][FONT=Arial Narrow][B]Suggestions: [/B][/FONT][LIST=1] [*][FONT=Arial Narrow]I would like to know who favorites my stuff, so I could perhaps thank them, or any reason anyone might have for wanting to know this piece of information. So maybe a link could be added to 'X members' next to '[B]Favorited[/B]' and send you to a page that lists the users who favorited whatever it is they favorited.[/FONT] [*][FONT=Arial Narrow]Having a record of who dedicated art to you. Same like having a page that lists who favorited what. It makes us feel good and we could remember who those people are.[/FONT] [*][FONT=Arial Narrow]In the inbox's 'Sent' folder, instead of having the column with 'Sent By', I think it would be better if it was changed to 'Sent To'. I mean, I think it would be obvious messages were sent by us. When I look back at messages and try to figure out something out, it's easier to know from looking at the page who the message was sent to instead of clicking every message I've sent to find out. (The same applies to when you open the message.) [/FONT][/LIST][FONT=Arial Narrow]I don't know how clear I was on all this, but... I really hope all this gets noticed. ^^; I think it would help the community a lot. [/FONT][/QUOTE] [COLOR="Navy"][SIZE="1"][FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"]See, this is how someone should suggest things to be changed. Thank you for the input. [/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"][SIZE="1"][COLOR="Navy"]I sat down and really listened to Beck's "Loser" today. I don't know how high he was when he made that song....but I know how high you'd probably be have to be to listen to it and think it's a decent song.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"][SIZE="1"][COLOR="navy"]I'm all for changing things that need to be changed, but as so many people have mentioned before, MyOtaku will most likely not see any sort of renovation anytime soon, or ever. We all understand your points of view and you have repeated them several times. All of the logical reasons we point out are immediately rebutted by your personal opinions on why things should revolve around your personal convience instead of what may be good for the member base of theOtaku. Saying that people are busy and have lives is really no excuse as to why there isn't any PMs headed Adam's way for MyOtaku. I'm 20 years old, go to school, have a GF, and I work 2 jobs. Yet, I find time for this site. So if this is seriously an issue that needs to be adressed, you would round up your posse and make your voices heard. Now to break it down:[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [quote]If a member doesn?t have any Worlds, but has a guestbook in their portfolio, then the majority of their signings will probably be "HAY I LIEK UR AVI AND ARTZ. BE MY FRIEND PLZ". Although putting the guestbook in Worlds doesn?t stop those kind of signings, it might decrease them (and that?s worth a try, right?). Also, for esthetics purposes I would want my guestbook to be located in my Worlds, since that would be keeping the more social/personal functions together; keeping like and like together, as a sort of organizational thing. (< my vocabulary died). [/quote] [FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"][SIZE="1"][COLOR="navy"]Like I said, nothing you can do about that. Delete them if it bothers you so much. But having it on the portfolio makes more sense. It has nothing to do with any sort of social aspect. Someone can sign your GB on MyOtaku with "HAY BE MY FRIEND PLZ". [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [quote]I?ve never said that it was the only reason for the decrease in activity, but it certainly is one factor. Also, it?s one of the factors that can be changed, so it?s one worth discussing.[/quote] [FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"][SIZE="1"][COLOR="navy"]I really fail to see how a lack of comments can be connected to anything qualitatively. If anything, that is just a number ( a quantitative result). It doesn't mean people aren't active, or that they don't care or any of that nonsense. It can't be attributed to the design of a site either. It's easy to leave a comment, the link is in plain sight. So...blame the people for not posting, not the system.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [quote]As for visiting portfolios to find out if I?ve missed an update, that?s way too much work for me. XD I?m subscribed to a lot of people for their art and their blogs, so having to check each portfolio and comment on the updates would take forever. [/quote] [FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"][SIZE="1"][COLOR="navy"]Again, this is a reason why I hate to drag out arguments when someone is using their biased opinions on things that need change. If you're too lazy to check on people's profiles, then don't try to dispute a system that works just fine. If you cared to visit people's profiles to check on them, you would. Don't blame theOtaku's system for that.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [quote]Most members don?t mind the idea of making TheOtaku into a one-stop shop. However, the reason that some people still prefer to use MyOtaku is for its benefits over Worlds. If Worlds were improved so that they would be more like MyOtaku, then some of those people would probably switch to Worlds.[/quote] [SIZE="1"][FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"][COLOR="Navy"]See that's the thing. It's a person by person, [B][I][U]PERSONAL PREFERENCE[/U][/I][/B], sort of thing. That doesn't mean change needs to happen just because a few people don't like the design. What would happen if we changed it and the people who liked the worlds design said "hey wtf are you doing? change it back!". We can't appease everyone, but the opinions on the Worlds system has been relatively positive for the most part. Like SunfallE said, the limits of MyOtaku have been reached. It is not utterly impossible to make renovations or do new things, but like I mentioned before, it is a step backwards in the process. Why would you want to take steps back as a network to appease the few who don't like the new changes instead of helping the majority of those and improve on what you do have right now? I've been really patient and read your posts, but the fact of the matter is that MyOtaku [B][I][U]WILL NOT (
