[size=1]It?s true that the [b]Mature[/b] rating is greatly overused. I don?t think this is because people want to add gore or sexual content. I think it?s because people don?t want the chance to add more gore (accidentally) than the rating allows them to. About the Role Playing Stories becoming worse? I had the same feeling about a year ago and since then I hardly posted anything there. This is not because of the rating system. It?s because I just looked differently at them and I realized I don?t like most RPStories. Most of the time they lack a deep storyline, background history and lots of other stuff that I like to see in a story. But apart from that, I still have the idea something changed about them, maybe people force their stories. They are like ?I [I]Have[/I] to make a story?, force an idea and post it. This instead of combining those ideas to create a strong storyline. Then again, in the past there weren?t many strong storylines either, but they felt more? Spontaneous. Okay what am I saying right now? Back to the rating system. The ratings are pretty much useless. I don?t think anyone has ever [I]not[/I] read a RPStory because of it?s [b]Mature[/b] rating. [i]Edit: Except when it's because they grow sick of all the Mature tags.[/i] Right now, the rating system seems to be only there so moderators can close threads who don?t have a tag in their title. Maybe there should be a more clear explanation of how you rate threads. That, or the moderators themselves should check each thread and add ratings to it. Lots of work, but it seems to be necessary if you want to continue on using the rating system. [So far for my confusing post >>' ][/size]

[size=1][color=black]Okay, I can't really come up with something silly, except all of the villages that are named after countries. Those are probably for parents who can say on vacation: "Hey kids, let's go to America!" and then have a five minute drive to some creepy old village. Don't have proof. I had some proof (somewhere..) though on a really bad streetname. On one of my trips into germany, there was a street called "Judengasse strasse". How evil can you name your street in Germany? o_O"[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=gray]I love to write, draw and work on graphics every now and then. I just have to have something to write about, or draw about. I'm very bad at forcing art. Graphics are just improvisation. The drawings I draw lately are most of the time portraits or cartoons. The writing I do lately has quite gone down to zero. I have this half-permament writer's block in which I think everything I write is wrong (which probably is the truth then) >>' [/size][/color]

[size=1][color=gray]*ignores other posts* Wow, he joins the army to shoot people, he gets shot. How ironic. If you don't want to be Killed In Action, don't join the army. I can understand the woman protesting, but it's not Bush's fault that her son wanted to play Uncle Sam's war hero.[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=gray]What the frog, this guy is amazing. You should write a book of him... if you use more details this time. (which was the only real bad part I could think of) Loved the last part and the riddle, most :P[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=gray]Dad's side is pure Dutch. Mother's side is pretty much dutch and like an iny tiny bit of french. (like 1/18 now I think) My great-great-great-great-grandfather (mother's side) is King Charlemagne >_>" My great-great-great-grandfather (father's side) was a bodyguard of King William II of the Netherlands, in Waterloo. He probably didn't do his job right because William got wounded anyway. This was of course on purpose because now there's this huge hill in Waterloo with a Dutch lion on it. Rawk on. I'm almost pure Dutch, so I'm about atleast 1,8 meters (don't know exactly, but it was this last time I checked). My shoes are [b]US[/b] size 12 (European size 46)... Won't say anymore sizes. To be more precise: I'm not just from anywhere of the Netherlands, I'm from Holland (the west and most famous part). [b]Conclusion:[/b] This is why I rock.

[size=1][color=gray]Okay, just a quick request here. Does anybody have any Leather Squares I could have/buy? I'm in need of 28 for a Dork's Fridge [i]Fanatic's Equipment[/i]. Thanks or 'Too Bad' in advance >>"[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=gray]...They are still pictures with only a border added to them. And then again, I myself don't like border art unless it's superb. They are nice for MS Paint, nothing less, but certainly not more.[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=gray]Actually, the bible does not deny the existance of the Dinosaur. Just because they never talk about them does not mean they don't exist. I strongly doubt that anything in the direction of the Platypus is ever mentioned in the bible (although I'm now curious and going to search for it). What you do is reading the bible exactly as they show it to you. What if the seven days in which the world started, were seven whole eras? If you read the bible now, you think the world exists for 9000 years or so. If you read it [i]and think[/i] at the same time, the world [i]could[/i] exist for more than that, just because 'the seven days' were several million years. [quote name='Otaku America']Also before the flooding Noah was ordered to bring 2 kinds of each beasts unto his ark. If dinosaurs where one of them wouldn't their be some kind of breed alive to this day?[/quote] The dinosaurs could have already been extinct? Remember that that could've been thousands of years since the dinosaurs would have been roaming the earth. To answer the actual question: I quite believe in dinosaurs. Certainly more than in UFO's. On a side note: Yes I am a christian so I have read the bible enough to know atleast a bit what I'm saying. [/size][/color]

[size=1][color=gray]What happens in the Guild Hall... [b]WARNING: Rated M for extremely mature![/b] [URL=http://img281.imageshack.us/my.php?image=gw0899nr.png][IMG]http://img281.imageshack.us/img281/7074/gw0899nr.th.png[/IMG][/URL] Now I think it's time to run.[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=gray]I don't like working with a time limit at all, but Retri convinced me to [b]join the Official Otakuboards Graphics Tournament[/b]. [u]Tony:[/u] This contest is just in the direction of Banner making, I think. Something like [i]"make it 400x400 pixels, theme: love, text: cheese is good"[/i] [/size][/color]

[color=gray][size=1]Yeah, me, Kitty and Gavynn in one house. That'd be a joke... End of the world, whee... Who would needed in one house with me? Well I'd say that the first combination that popped in my mind would be [b]Hack Helba[/b], [b]Kitty[/b], [b]Dragon Warrior[/b], [b]Imi[/b], [b]Retribution[/b] (we'd probably be killing eachother eventually though), [b]Ozymandius Jones[/b] and I don't dare to add a seventh. This would be a difficult decision and would totally depend on what the show would aim at >_>"[/size][/color]

[color=gray][size=1]Okay lads I have some runes, dyes and more stuff which I'll put up now, but first I have an iny tiny request. Stuff in the forge is rediculously expensive in my eyes, so I'm now collecting linen (for sacred, wanderer's is ugly >>) and cloth for equipment. Unless someone ofcourse has a better idea.

[size=1][color=gray]I think the jukebox button certainly improved, but I also think that it's not necessary to have it animated. The animation is nice, but doesn't have to be there.[/size][/color]

[color=gray][size=1]It doesn't look quite bad, but the fonts you used for the buttons is terrifying and I think the menu bar could use more gray in it. Also the animation of the reply-to-post button makes no sense. It doesn't look like something that would suddenly turn blue, it just doesn't O_o. The colour of the buttons looks to dark, possibly because of the solidness of the font. The jukebox doesn't even look so bad apart from the text. It just needs more gray in the menu bar if you ask me, instead of the background image of some street-ish thing. And I now noticed that the jukebox' border could be a pixel less wide.[/size][/color]

[color=gray][size=1]Really, my teddy bears and plushies are allive and my best buddies >>" Each one has it's own name with an own individual soul. I even have an imaginary world for them when I'm not around ;_; [b]In short:[/b] [i]The world is green with lots of forests and things. There's a north pole thingy for the icebears, a bamboo forest for pandas, a huge tree with stone house thingies in it for those who don't know in which category they belong (*) and many more. The world is controled by two kings in a huge apple. One king for monday-friday: the friendly Waf the green dog with an icecream sign on it's belly, and one king for weekends: Kloris, the purple/pink bear who once was a panda until he dropped in the paint. Speed the way-to-fast panda has an own cookie factory and he often chases Chip, a little panda that doesn't even exist, who rides in an imaginary 'walk-car'. But only the kings can guide the way to the fabulous carrot land. The land where the bunnies and rabbits lived. The land was full of green-ness, orangeness and carrots under a blue sky with fluffy clouds. There was the elder bunny who lived in a little house in the forest; the blue bunny who could fly by er.. let's keep it at: he could fly; and there was little bunny who's legs and arms were so small that they couldn't move (**). There were also other countries around Carrotland and Kobeeland (***). One of the countries (****) was hostile so Kobeeland had its own weaponry of rollerskate tanks and those sort of things. The most important country was called Stinkene land (*****), which was a place where it stank a lot. When the years passed this land was forgotten in time though. It probably was stuck somewhere in the evolution progress. Except for this world they had also featured in theatre plays like "The Man with the Smelly Sock", which would be a parody on "The Man with the Iron Mask" and they played in a "Lion King" story which I once had on tape. [/i] [b]Explanation List[/b] *= Like Gizmo **= I felt sorry for him ;_; ***= How the bear country is called ****= and the most important one *****= My sister is called Irene and we (me and my brother) liked to call her Stinkene Weird? Insane? Crazy, perhaps? I think not! This is just a way to express my soul and to have characters who I can involve in my uber cool humour[/size][/color]

[color=gray][size=1]To start.. Stick to one width of banner atleast for two after eachother >:O Okay then for the rest of the post. [b]Corpse Bride Titles[/b] The first banner is nice, although I think it could be a little wider. The picture is placed nicely (which from now on counts for each graphic unless I say different). The avater kind of mini-ish banner thing's picture is placed less good than it was in the banner. Although I understand that when you shrink the picture even more to fit it in the 170x85, the text will look bad >>" The other banner is the best of the three. Nice focal point and good quality. [b]Corpse Bride and Victor[/B] You're great with placing images already so the only thing I'd have to say about these banners is already said in my first line ;_; [b]Assorted Things[/b] The first two are the best yet. The dog is plain awesome and both the dog and the hand are like shexy quality. Now excuse me, I'm going to make an avater out of that dog.[/color][/size]

[color=gray][size=1]Let's keep this thing updated once in the year. [b]Vision[/b] [img]http://apoco.250free.com/VincionXt.png[/IMG] [i][b]Vision[/b] had quite some work put into it. As you may see it's theme would be Da Vinci. [url=http://apoco.250free.com/VincionCl.png]This[/url] is the image without text. And when people didn't recognize the face of Da Vinci in it, I replaced it by Mona Lisa which you can see [url=http://apoco.250free.com/VincionCtM.png]Here[/url].[/i] [url=http://apoco.250free.com/Orange.png]Primage Of Vision[/url] [b].Chocolate Riddles.[/b] [IMG]http://apoco.250free.com/Riddler.png[/IMG] [i]I'm not so fond of this one, but meh. The title is Riddles because the first layer is a part of Da Vinci's 'Last Supper'. The other day I had seen a documentary about 'the Da Vinci code'.[/i] That's it for today and likely the next few days/weeks.[/color][/size]

[color=gray][size=1]Me and a friend first went calling random numbers, saying we were from a model agency that was looking for people. We gave them the mobile number of someone we don't like. Eventually we called the little sister of a class mate. She actually called back oO" One number we called we got an old person at the other end of the line. We apparently called a resthouse and the man was just about to get his medication.. Wonder what happened to him after he was invited to come over to Amsterdam for a test photo shoot. -.- When that prank got boring we called people with the message "Hi, we're from radio 10 Gold and we have a caller who has a birthday, could you sing a song for him?". Almost no one did it except someone who sang Marilyn Monroe's version of "Happy Birthday to you". All in all we weren't as criminal as you bunch of people, but it was fun.[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=gray]I can't add a lot more, except that I like almost each. The only set I thought was a bit bad was the bubblegum crisis set. The picture quality is horrible. Other than that, like said before, you've got the hang of it. Now for a last thingy.. Could you post a blank CD so I can make my own CD labels aswell? XP[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=gray]If you go into your [user cp], it says "attach myOtaku account" under the "Miscellaneous" menu. Click it and fill in your account name and password.[/color][/size]

[color=gray][size=1]It's 0:00 so don't expect something intelligent... [Death By Spinning] I like how you cut off the first photo, it gives it a clean and sharp effect. The colours rock. [We Can Conquer Anything] This one rocks. Seems very anti-American government. Bush playing with his army dolls and the quote "We can conquer anything" makes it ubertastic. [Withering To Death] Front sharp, back blurred. Nice colours and all. You are a great photo person :0[/color][/size]
