Wet Paint actually reminds me of one of the [url="http://web.archive.org/web/20030607005801/http://www.otakuboards.com/"]older versions[/url] of OB, it's the same sort of colours. Very cool, guys. Very cool.[/size][/font][/size] [/quote]Sprite Central ;_;

If you liked Avatar, you'll love Pocahontas. It's the same, but with better acting, better colours and [i]songs[/i].

Oh yeah.

And we should only be able to have a customised avatar after 250 posts or something. Until then, we'll have to make due with the standard 50x50 avatar gallery.

Sounds like a great plan! I was just talking with some members about starting more little fun projects in the Art Studio, especially with some more attention to other art forms than the typical digital art like used in signatures and such. One topic that came up was the game started by Sara called 'Draw My Character' where a person would post their own character and the next would post their drawn version of it. Then they'd post their own character for the next person to draw. I think the time limit with that drawing project was 72 hours. An idea for this one too? Also it might be hard to actually align the drawings unless the edges are really extremely simple, when it comes to drawing, but you can be quite flexible with that. Though I was thinking that maybe it'd be fun if instead of one continues panorama kind of view, we could play like the whisper game where the first person whispers in the next persons ear and they whisper what they heard into the third person's ear etc. etc. But then with art! :^D But thats an other idea altogether, sorry bout that. :X

Tomorrow's my lovely girlfriend's birthday so I'm blowing up a few dozens of balloons.

[b]Soccer does not exist[/b]. Teams that shouldn't win: [list][*]Portugal[*]Japan[*]America[/list]Team that should win: [list][*]Sweden[/list]Teams I should be rooting for: [list][*]The Netherlands[*]Germany[/list] World cups are greatness. Football is the best sport ever to worked up about and shout stuff at the telly. Also, the Netherlands would really suck if they can't get out of their own group. Last Euro Cup they did excellent in their group only to play a lousy match against Russia. Gotsto do better than that.

You've got a great comicy style going on. What kind of products exactly do you use these designs for?

I post too much since the update. Since when am I the #1 poster? A: Since the update.

Texas = Russia [color="#ffffff"]Spawns dictators/mass-murderers and likes rewriting the past literally literally.[/color]

Otakus scare me away from Anime as a whole. But this happens with a lot of stuff. Especially indie music and the likes where people will go all "OMG I AM SO INDIE, I BUY VINYLS OF BANDS THAT DON'T EVEN EXIST YET!"

Word. Plus, [size="1"]size 1 has always been cruise control for win, but I started losing interest in typing out the tags for each post[/size].

I've been trying to read Joyce's [i]Ulysses[/i] for ages now, but it just won't work.

IT'S [b]LA VACHE QUI RIT[/b]. And Babybel is in the red wax.

I'm Dutch. We live for cheese. A personal favourite to eat in cubes would be the iets-meer-dan-belegen you'd find at your friendly neighbourhood cheese stand at the Saturday's market. Another would be Old Amsterdam cheese. As for cheese on bread, I'm a huge fan of cumin cheese. Lately the world of goat cheese has been opened up to me. I had no idea goat cheese, honey, walnuts and rucola go together so divinely well on a sandwich. It also goes well in salad, as well as mozarella of course. Plus, the latter is a must with anything pasta-related, along with parmazan for the rest of the senses. Cheddar cheese is a horrible fraud, though.

[quote name='taperson' date='01 June 2010 - 09:55 PM' timestamp='1275422136' post='694124'] [color="#4169E1"][size="1"]It's too much of the same thing over & over again, & it's a lot wider than it used to be. [/size][/color] [/quote] I like the width, like back in the old days of OB. My only complaints would also be small design wise, though. I think it'd be neat to have some more difference between read and unread threads and wouldn't mind a slightly darker for every second thread title background. But that's all. :^D

So, with this OtakuBoards XL going on... Shouldn't there be a Padded Room Party XL? Deleted the PRP world btw.

I know right. It's so... [i]complete[/i]. Or something.

Also, I love the stuff we can do, like Member linking and editor resizing and everything. Could we do that before? I used the minimal editor. :V
