[COLOR=DarkOrange][B]Retribution:[/B] I like the way you did the families. It reminds me of the images I see when you visit the hospital as they use that very same family picture. It makes me think of how important families are. Other than looking a bit rough around the edges of the families and that the print in the pink ones are a little hard to read, I think it would look great printed on a poster or brochure that promotes families. Great job! ^_^ [B]Kitty:[/B] First of all I am so biased when looking at your piece. It?s so unconventional and really fits how I feel. Being a dog owner myself I consider my dog a member of my family and it?s so true how a pet?s love is unconditional. It?s absolutely adorable! It just makes me smile when I look at it. The problems I see are that part of Faye?s arm is missing and the bottom picture is grainy. >_< But still its just so cute. Now for the hard part, choosing only one. This is almost annoying as each picture has things that I think are better than the other. Retribution?s piece is so professional where Kitty?s piece is so unconventional. Both reasons are good enough to say they outdo the other. In the end I like the warm fuzzy feeling Kitty?s piece portrays so my vote goes to Kitty. I know I?m biased since I?m a dog lover, but I really think it?s adorable, sorry Retribution, if I were voting from a professional standpoint you would win. [B]Kitty[/B] gets my vote. [/COLOR]

[QUOTE=SunfallE][COLOR=DarkOliveGreen]Since this thread was already here I thought I would use it to report an issue with theOtaku.com. I'm sure that you are already aware of it but I get this every time I try to go to the page: [B]A database error has occured. An e-mail has already been dispatched to us regarding the error and will be fixed promptly. The error returned: An error occured while executing a query.[/B] It was working fine earlier today so it's only been this afternoon that I've gotten this message. [/COLOR][/QUOTE] [COLOR=DarkOrange] I'm having the same problem too. I get the exact same message that SunfallE does. Anyway, I hope it's fixed soon. [/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrange]Hehe! This looks like fun! ^_^ Even if I?m not as good as the others are. ^_^ It was still fun to make just the same.[/COLOR] [IMG]http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/9272/otakuboardschristmasbanner010w.jpg[/IMG]

[QUOTE=SunfallE][COLOR=DarkOliveGreen]I am assuming that you are still having issues as the past week I get page can't be found, access denied, operation timed out, database errors, and pages that other than the background don't load. >_< I've pretty much not even bothered very much with any of the Otaku sites as they all have given me grief lately. I was finally able to do a little today, but it's still slow and pages don't want to load. Anyway, I hope it's fixed soon. I like visiting the people here. ^_^[/COLOR][/QUOTE][COLOR=DarkOrange]I logged on to post about the problem as I was having the exact same problem as SunfallE, but everything started working again, so hopefully that means everything has been fixed. ^_^ [/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkRed]I?m sure that I am not the only one who loves Christmas. ^_^ What I love the most is when it snows and everything is just so beautiful. I also love putting up decorations and lights and having snowball fights with my friends. And I love listening to Christmas music. ^_^ Over all I just think the month of December is a lot of fun! My family has a few traditions that we follow; for example, we always get our Christmas tree Thanksgiving weekend and decorate it together. I always look forward to it as it signals the beginning of the holiday season in my house. Then we also have a tradition of making gingerbread houses and cookies to share with our neighbors. The other tradition we have is either Christmas eve or another night, depending upon when everyone can be together, we make a point of gathering together to have hot chocolate and each person is allowed to open one gift. I think my parents started that one to make sure that we could share gifts together at least one day as lots of us don?t live close so we don?t always get to see everyone on Christmas day. So what?s your favorite thing about Christmas? And what traditions does your family have? [/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrange]Well in general I see nothing wrong with a gay person hitting on someone who is straight. I?m not a guy but I?ve been hit on by other girls. The only time I find it uncomfortable is when they are adults since I?m considered jailbait. I just think it?s wrong to attempt to have a relationship with a minor if you are an adult. And I mean that for both gay and straight relationships. Adults should know better. When someone does that to me I make sure my Mom and every other adult I am a friend with knows who is trying to get me to go out with them. Anyway, back on topic, I really don?t see a problem with daydreams as we all have them. I?m sure I?m not the only one who has imagined kissing a boy or girl that we think is cute. I don?t like it when the girl who hits on me tries to get fresh without asking first as that?s sexual harassment in my opinion. Its one thing to say I think you are cute would you like to go on a date? But to actually start touching without permission is just wrong. Again I think that applies to straight relationships too. As for hitting on someone who is already in a relationship, I don?t like that either. I?ve never had a boyfriend, but I know I would never hit on a guy who already has a girlfriend. It?s okay if you didn?t know that they are already seeing someone though. Since it was an honest mistake. I don?t have any advise on how to stop the urges as you put it as I see nothing wrong with wanting to have someone special in your life. You could try what Attimus331 suggests and try to find people online. ^_^[/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrange]Well my real name is Bethany, I?m a 13 year old female who lives in Utah and I?m currently in Junior High, though I?m also taking two college classes since I may be skipping High School all together and just going to college next year. I don?t have any siblings; it?s just my Mom and me. I?m not sure what I want to do, but I love dogs so I?m thinking of becoming a vet, but I also like learning about computers so I might do that instead, I haven?t decided yet. If you were to describe me, well I?m curious over just about anything, so I?m always getting into to trouble for wanting to know about adult stuff. >_< I love anime and visiting the library, as I love to read. I spend a lot of time reading. I especially love science fiction and fantasy books. And Manga books too though they don?t have those at the library. >_< I think I?ll suggest they add them the next time I visit. ^_^[/COLOR]

[quote name='shadowofdeath13][size=1][color=darkred]Right now I live in Orem, Utah. I would say it has it ups and downs, I really like it right now because it is winter, and that means snowboarding. Though I hate the cold:animeswea. I wish it would just snow up in the mountains and stay like 80 down here.[/color'][/size][/quote][COLOR=DarkOrange]Wow! O_o! I live in Provo Utah, but I don?t go skiing or snowboarding. I love the snow but my Mom hates it she really hates how the roads get icy.. I can?t drive yet so maybe I?ll hate it too when I?m old enough. As for being cold, hehe, I don't mind too much, but probably because I know once I'm tired of it I can just go inside where it's warm. ^_^ [/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrange]I've noticed that too! I visit my friends sites and even though it says there are comments when I pull up the box there's nothing there! And when I leave comments they don't show up either. I tried checking back hours later but they still aren't showing up. >_< I hope it's fixed soon.[/COLOR]

Hehe! This looks like fun! ^_^ So here?s my attempt at making avatars. I didn?t see a category for Sailor Moon so hopefully at least six are good enough. ^_^ [IMG]http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/8265/sailorchibimoon6ol.jpg[/IMG] [B]Category: [/B]Sailor Moon [B]Name:[/B] Sailor Chibi Moon [IMG]http://img277.imageshack.us/img277/3126/sailorjupiter6ip.jpg[/IMG] [B]Category:[/B] Sailor Moon [B]Name: [/B]Sailor Jupiter [IMG]http://img277.imageshack.us/img277/60/sailormars1mr.jpg[/IMG] [B]Category: [/B]Sailor Moon [B]Name: [/B]Sailor Mars [IMG]http://img277.imageshack.us/img277/1850/sailormercury0qb.jpg[/IMG] [B]Category: [/B]Sailor Moon [B]Name:[/B] Sailor Mercury [IMG]http://img277.imageshack.us/img277/4440/sailormoon1ic.jpg[/IMG] [B]Category:[/B] Sailor Moon [B]Name:[/B] Sailor Moon [IMG]http://img277.imageshack.us/img277/9029/sailorneptune9ek.jpg[/IMG] [B]Category:[/B] Sailor Moon [B]Name:[/B] Sailor Neptune [IMG]http://img277.imageshack.us/img277/2559/sailorpluto6sp.jpg[/IMG] [B]Category:[/B] Sailor Moon [B]Name:[/B] Sailor Pluto [IMG]http://img277.imageshack.us/img277/4944/sailorsaturn2im.jpg[/IMG] [B]Category:[/B] Sailor Moon [B]Name:[/B] Sailor Saturn [IMG]http://img277.imageshack.us/img277/9459/sailoruranus4qj.jpg[/IMG] [B]Category:[/B] Sailor Moon [B]Name:[/B] Sailor Uranus [IMG]http://img277.imageshack.us/img277/9016/sailorvenus8oi.jpg[/IMG] [B]Category:[/B] Sailor Moon [B]Name:[/B] Sailor Venus [IMG]http://img277.imageshack.us/img277/2556/tuxedomask7wd.jpg[/IMG] [B]Category:[/B] Sailor Moon [B]Name:[/B] Tuxedo Mask

[COLOR=DarkOrange]When I play a video game I tend to choose what I am most comfortable with, which usually ends up being the good guy. Then once I've beaten it being good I get curious about what happens if you are bad and I start another game being evil the next time. Like the Star Wars Jedi game you mentioned. I've played as a good guy and as a bad guy. It's easier to be good than bad, at least for me. I still get a kick out of seeing what happens when you are bad though. ^_^ I think it's because even though you are being mean, it's not real and just a video game. [/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrange]I so disagree with the idea that the creator of a thread should be able to delete undesirable posts within the thread. If you don?t want to hear other people?s ideas or opinions, then don?t post. If you really feel a member is being disrespectful then that?s what a moderator is for and you can contact them regarding the post that bothers you. What?s the point of having a forum if people are constantly removing opinions or ideas they don?t agree with? This isn?t a communist forum when people can only have an opinion that matches what you want it to be. Besides like[B] Lore[/B] said you were very abrasive in your first post. It might help if you were a bit more polite regarding your topic. I also agree with[B] Desbreko[/B] when he said, [COLOR=Indigo]?Come off your ego trip, realize that you are [I]not[/I] infallible, and learn to deal.?[/COLOR] No one is always right, thinking that you are is in itself a mistake, and if you are insulted by that, well that?s your opinion. [/COLOR]

[QUOTE=Panda]I just had a wacky comment thing start up with my site today, perhaps it is the same your friend is having. When I look at my blog it tells me I have 3 comments. When I click on the link another window opens and tells me that I have no comments to view. When I post on someone's site in their comment box it tells me that my comment should be available to view below but it doesn't show up. Is this what problem your friend is having dposse? If not can you give some more info as to what the problem is? I am not sure what the problem with the comments are but I'm just going to wait until Justin gets some time to sort it out. He's a very busy guy after all so I am going to be patient and wait. Edit: Obviously being a bit more patient works well! I went back to check my site and the comments I had left and they are working now. Perhaps the system was being attacked by the "lag monster" and it just needed some time to get working...or perhaps it's like many of us post-Thanksgiving and dealing with "turkey torpor"! Just feelin' a bit sluggish.[/QUOTE][COLOR=DarkOrange] I've been having that problem too. Sometimes it's a good 5-10 minutes before I can see the comments. I just assumed it's because there are a lot more people using and visiting this site now. ^_^ And because it's a holiday.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrange]I think that?s an awesome idea! ^_^ It would be great to be able to clearly see that it?s a member?s birthday. ^_^ As for the automated PM idea, well a couple of my friends here said they got an automated e-mail wishing them a Happy Birthday from OtakuBoards. Do we really need an automated PM too? [/COLOR]

[QUOTE=Heero yuy]Last year of Highschool and I hear is college this and college that. And I'm freaking out (finally, I'm having identity moretorum...)...and I'm confused to what I should do...and where to go...and just in general, about life..itself. Does anyone feel this way? Cause I know, every kid goes through this phase...[/QUOTE][COLOR=DarkOrange]I guess everyone feels that way. I?m taking two college classes right now even though I?m not in High School yet. I was kind of scared since I passed the GED test so I have the choice of either going to college next year or going to High School with everyone else. I decided to take two college classes to see what it?s like and to tell the truth, I love it much better than Junior High. The part I love best is unlike Junior High the kids aren?t mean and if you get a teacher you don?t like you can switch to another class. And it?s far more interesting. At least I think it is. Truthfully Junior High is kind of boring. >_< I would definitely give it a try. Many of the degrees require you to take general ed classes so you can take a few basic classes first to see how you like it before making up your mind on what you want to do.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrange]My user name is really quite simple. I love Bichon Frise?s and I hope to be a vet when I grow up. So I chose to use my dog?s name Aaryanna. I?ve always liked to give my pets real names. ^_^ Or should I say more than a simple nick name like Spot. That and I think Aaryanna is a pretty name. [/COLOR]

[quote name='Hug Monster][COLOR=Purple']For the greater majority of my life I have thought of myself as heterosexual. I was always strictly strait nothing else. But, when I became a little more mature, I began doubting this. One day I suddenly realised that I was bisexual but I was only attracted to video game guys. Then a bit later I had a crazy breakdown and stopped liking guys for a while. Then I slowly became more and more bisexual until for about a day or so I thought I was gay because all I could think about was guys. Then I leveled out and now I'm determined that I'm not strait, gay, or bi. I don't know what to call it (though I've been using the term 'Omnisexual') so could someone help me?[/COLOR][/quote] [COLOR=DarkOrange] James is right; you don?t need a name or term for what your sexual orientation is. People get so hung up on the idea that they need a name for what their orientation is that they forget that it?s really about loving another human being. I may only be 13 and I?ve yet to date anyone, but seriously, don?t worry over what name to give it. It?s really not important when you think about it. You either love them or you don?t whether it?s a guy or a girl. [/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrange]Hehehehe! Nice addition to TheDailyOtau! ^_^ I loved it. I've read your thread before cause I clicked on your link in your signature. Hehehehe! I laughed and laughed over the master sword entry. ^_^ I think I'm going to start a [spoiler] We Love Desbreko Fan Club! :2women: ^_~ [/spoiler] So smileys are immune to spoiler tags? That's scary! lol ^_~ [/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrange][B]Well first of all I think all the pictures are nicely done so it will be a difficult choice. ^_^[/B] [FONT=Book Antiqua][SIZE=2]What I don?t agree with is the idea of a counter-vote. What?s the point of having a contest like this if I vote and someone who doesn?t agree with me casts a counter-vote? It?s like letting them vote twice as they are saying your vote shouldn?t count and that their vote should. Personally I think it?s a bit rude to say other people?s vote shouldn?t count because you don?t agree. So in essence they are voting twice which isn?t fair in a contest like this. If a counter-vote is allowed then everyone should be allowed to do it as right now a counter-vote would basically be saying [B]Who?[/B] And [B]SunfallE[/B]?s vote don?t count anymore. And if it were allowed, [U]everyone[/U] would have to cast a counter-vote for it to be fair and valid in my opinion[/SIZE].[/FONT] Now on to what I think. In advance, don?t take it personal okay? The one I like the least is [B]Gemini[/B]. The picture is very beautiful, I actually like the base picture better than the others, but I just don?t think it represents the concept of water as well as the others do. I also do not care for the choice of font used for the saying. The picture itself is beautiful but it doesn?t catch my attention as it really don?t make me think of water until I actually read the saying.[/COLOR]

[QUOTE=indifference][COLOR=Indigo]I?ll second that wish for another chapter to be created. That was beyond enjoyable. Especially since I?ve been her long enough to recognize the main characters in your story. My favorite part was where James dragged everyone into net with his coffee mishap as it set the feeling of expectation of wondrous things to come quite well. And the most hilarious part was the ?Summoned Creature! DESBREKO!? That is so him that I laughed and laughed over it. Ah, if only I too had found this place sooner. Positively amazing. [/COLOR][/QUOTE] [COLOR=DarkOrange]Me too! I want to read more! Hehehehe! I agree with what indifference said about the coffee incident starting everything and Desbreko?s parts are my favorites! ^_^ I think I remember someone mentioning it before about adding this to one of the sticky posts about this area. It?s a wonderful example of how to post in this area and on how much fun the OB Anthology section here at OtakuBoards can be. I admit I?d love to be part of the next chapter. But I?m not picky! I want to read more of James?s and the others adventures! ^_^[/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrange]Well, I don?t know what to tell you, I bet if you asked Panda she would know. As for what to do if you are accused of plagiarizing and you know you didn?t, I too would like to know how you prove that you didn?t. I?ve never been accused of plagiarizing, but like you said, how do you prove it came from an art book so to speak. I haven?t seen anything stating what to do if you feel you were wrongly accused of plagiarizing, so maybe it would be good to have it in the guidelines somewhere? Or maybe it is explained somewhere and I just missed it. I also wouldn?t mind knowing a bit more on what is considered official artwork too. ^_^ [/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrange]I?m still having trouble with sites. The pages do load, but they take forever. I timed it and one myOtaku page took 10 minutes to load! I even downloaded and installed firefox to see if it would work any better and it didn?t. It?s just Otaku sites as even the download of firefox, which was about 5 megabytes, took less than a minute to download and install on my computer. I?m also getting this error message when I try to access wallpapers and comment boxes. A database error has occured. An e-mail has already been dispatched to us regarding the error and will be fixed promptly. The error returned: Error while attempting to establish a connection with the server Anyway, it?s unrelated but I thought you might want to know that occurred is spelled wrong, it?s suppose to have two r?s. ^_~ ~*Aaryanna*~ [/COLOR]

This is the first time I've even been able to see this page today. Other than to log on I haven't been able to view any thread or myOtaku page, every single one refuses to load. I couldn't even sign out. I've been trying off and on all day. It was working yesterday, even though it was a little slow and today now that I finally made it here, it's still very, very, slow. I thought it was my computer, but all the other websites I visit work just fine. I even checked for virsus and spyware just to be sure, but myOtaku still won't load for me, I can't even visit my own page, only the backroom.

[COLOR=DarkOrange]So did someone fix it? I've seen it before, but today it's gone. There's isn't a space about 1 pixel wide that is white anymore. I use IE on a PC. Anyway, it never bothered me before, It doesn't really look all that different with it gone. It still looks nice either way. ^_^[/COLOR]

[QUOTE=Lady Katana][color=darkblue]Ah, yes, I've read about that little side-quest in one of the guides I read for reasearch on GameFAQs. I've never done it myself, though I want to, since Kratos is my favorite character and all. I've not read the guidebook, so I don't really know if this is known, but there is a side-quest[/color] [spoiler]once you reach Sybak after the fight wth Rodyle, methinks. If you talk to the boy standing beside the junkmonger (where you get Colette's Key Crest,) he'll give Sheena the Pink Pearl Ring. Once you go back to Meltokio, a girl will see Sheena with the ring and ask her where she got it from. Once she tells her, the girl will give the party 5,000 Gald to give to the boy, but if you take it back to him, he'll refuse it. Later in the game, you'll meet the two again in Meltokio and they'll ask for their ring back.[/spoiler] [color=darkblue]I'm currently trying to find all these little things for the guide I'm writing, so if I find any more, I'll be sure to say something here, heh.[/color][/QUOTE] [COLOR=DarkOrange]I?ve seen that quest in the actual guidebook. You actually run into the [spoiler] girl in Altimira since Sheena drops the ring and she picks it up to give it back to you. Then you take the 5,000 gald to Sybak and give it to Joshua and he won?t take it. So you then go to Meltiko as the girl asks you to meet her there once you?ve given Joshua the money. You give her the money back and once she leaves her friend explains to you what is going on. You have to go back to Sybak and talk to Joshua again and explain to him what is going on, other wise you won?t run into them later in Meltiko. [/spoiler] I?ve run into one that isn?t in the guidebook too! I think it doesn?t occur until after you are [spoiler] searching for the stuff for Collette. But if you return to Altessa?s place, you will see an exsphere on the table in the room where Mithos and Tabatha are. If you go and examine it, it will trigger an event where Lloyd, Presea and Tabatha go to the Toiz Valley Mine to learn about exsphere?s. [/spoiler][/COLOR]
