[font=helvetica]I'm not sure how difficult or easy this would be to execute (do you stitch all these in manually?), but I have an idea. I think it would be neat if we were able to link directly to a certain point in the piece. Say, for example, that I wanted to show off my totally awesome [url=http://otakuboards.com/graphicworm/2010/012.jpg]dragon segment[/url] within the context of the worm. If each segment (or maybe the segment number, or the artist's name) had an assigned anchor point and a recursive link [i]to[/i] that anchor point, it would be easy to highlight different parts of the worm. You'd click an image in the area you wanted to show off, then use that URL to link someone directly to the area in question. (. . . Instead of telling someone, "oh you should check this out! Click here, and then scroll sixteen thousand pixels to the right!")[/font]

[quote name='8-Bit']Jibble sandwich.[/QUOTE][font=helvetica]I was confused, then intrigued, [url=http://www.google.com/search?q=jibble+sandwich]and eventually let down[/url] by the fact that this is not actually a food. Welcome to OB, by the way. (Your signature doesn't show up below your posts right now.

[quote name='pax et agape']Basically all roads are impassable because of the blizzard here. So no work tonight.[/QUOTE][font=helvetica]Where are you?[/font]

[quote name='James'][font=franklin gothic medium]Yup, I will have a look and see if I can just edit that in the regular vB settings (I think it can be done there). :catgirl:[/font][/QUOTE][font=helvetica]Excellent! Thank you, James.[/font]

[quote name='chibi-master']I like dots and cream soda. I do not like explanations and Pepsi.:animesmil[/QUOTE][font=helvetica]What about (alleged) [url=http://scienceblogs.com/sciencepunk/2009/02/pepsis_gravitational_field.php]explanations [i]of[/i] Pepsi?[/url][/font]

[quote name='taperson'][SIZE="1"][COLOR="RoyalBlue"]My entire back is in so much pain that I literally can't move. Sweet![/COLOR][/SIZE][/QUOTE][font=helvetica]What happened to you?[/font]

[quote name='Boo'][font=lucida fax]And I made the comic cover of my sister's graduation project in it![/font][/QUOTE][font=helvetica]Neat. Do you have a copy?[/font]

[font=helvetica]Claimed.[/font]

[quote name='Lunox'][font=trebuchet ms] My friends and I sometimes play trivia. When we were in high school our team name was Editors-in-Chief, because we were all on newspaper together, but now we use Meow Zedong, because I doodled him one day in gov class. Except he has no resemblance to a Chinese man, he's just a cat. [/font][/QUOTE][font=helvetica]Hahah! Meow Zedong reminds me of [url=http://nedroid.com/2009/05/party-cat-full-series/]Party Cat[/url].[/font]

[quote name='chibi-master']I'm working on a spoof story about me and my friend. It also drags in other people we know, and takes place in the world of POKEYMANZ. But I'm not so keen on showing it...:animeswea My other hobby? I want to at least have memorized the entire numerical list of the first 151 Pokemon. Because I'm a nerd.[/QUOTE][font=helvetica]Dude, you don't have to be embarrassed and ironically overhype the word "Pokemon." You're on a message board devoted to anime and video games. Liking pokemon is probably the least nerdy thing you could do. =p Still, the point of this is to show stuff off, not just reference it. Can we at least get an in-progress on the Mr. Maul drawing? Or an excerpt from your fanfic? Come on! It'll be fun.[/font]

[quote name='chibi-master']*checks around for Rach* ....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................cream soda FTW; Pepsi is nasty................................................................................................................................................................. *flees*[/QUOTE][font=helvetica]While I commend your taste in soda and your use of a semi-colon, I am really confused by all of the dots surrounding your response.[/font]

[quote name='Retribution'][font=Arial]For the record, I'm an unrepentant pirate. 50 GB of music and counting.[/font][/QUOTE][font=helvetica][URL=http://imgur.com/o5Kov.jpg]Haha.[/URL][/font]

[font=helvetica]Everyone has a hobby. Some people even have hobbies with tangible results! Show us what you're working on! Maybe you're trying to blog every day in 2010. (Show us your blog!) Maybe you fancy yourself a photographer. (Show us your flickr stream!) Maybe you knit scarves modelled after Lovecraftian monsters. (Show us your etsy!) Maybe you're exercising every day. (Show us your progress!) Maybe you designed your mom's book club's website! Maybe you're keeping track of every time Obama uses the word "terrorism" in an official context! Maybe you're trying to collect all the ruby trophies on theOtaku.com! It doesn't matter what you do. This is a place for you to show off your projects. As an example (just for you!) I uploaded a few recent photos and put them up on a blog. [center][url=http://thevenndiagramoflife.blogspot.com/]Click here! [IMG]http://imgur.com/bRIhq.jpg[/IMG] [/url][size=1]Isn't it pretty?[/size][/center] Now I wanna see your projects.[/font]

[quote name='James'][font=franklin gothic medium]Haha, good point. Actually Des and I are working on some changes that will freshen up the site quite a bit. It won't involve any fundamental re-working of things, but it will make quite a big difference. I'm afraid that's the best we can do at the moment.:[/font][/QUOTE][font=helvetica]Can you make it so that links are differentiated (without needing to mouseover) from normal text on the OB Classic skin? Because in my browser, at least, [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Example]you can't tell whether or not something is a link.[/url][/font]

[font=helvetica]Tell me about Mabel.[/font]

[quote name='Imp']Now... well, I don't know what to say... except I wish there was something I could to to help OB out... *starts to think*[/QUOTE][font=helvetica]Start a thread. Open an RPG. Invite a friend. It's not hard. =][/font]

[quote name='Raiha'][COLOR="DarkOrchid"][FONT="Times New Roman"]Although they've come out with this like... ...Birch... flavor. I have no idea what it's like. But I do like grapefruit flavor too Sara. But Pomegranate is just too sour.[/FONT][/COLOR][/QUOTE][font=helvetica]Ooh. That actually sounds like it could be good. [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birch_beer]Birch beer (wikipedia link)[/url] Also, to Nerdsy: Really? Yeah, everything is pretty much HFCS. There's been excitement for years around buying [url=http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/11/magazine/11fob-consumed-t.html]Mexican Coke[/url] that's made with real sugar.[/font]

[quote name='chibi-master']Psh. I'd have been there at 9:30 and I would not have been nice about it. I have no tact... But yes, eleven is more than resonable. Heck, ten would have been resonable.[/QUOTE][font=helvetica]Well, curfew isn't until midnight. If the girls upstairs have friends over for a party on a Saturday night (especially on a weekend when I don't work in the morning), I don't want to ruin their fun. They did end up quieting down before eleven, so everything was good. (I'm not convinced they would have heard my knocking, anyway.) Regarding Care Bears: they are [i]awesome.[/i] That was some high drama! I also recommend [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Care_Bears_Movie_II:_A_New_Generation][b]Care Bears Movie II[/b][/url], largely because my four-year-old self had a weird, Stockholm-syndrome-esque crush on Mister Darkheart.[/font]

[quote name='Raiha'][COLOR="DarkOrchid"][FONT="Times New Roman"]I drink Izze, that fruity carbonated drink that is tangy rather than sweet. [/FONT][/COLOR][/QUOTE][font=helvetica]Izze is great! Every once in a while they're on sale at Target and I give in and buy a box. I'm partial to the grapefruit flavor, myself.[/font]

[font=helvetica]I was expecting something with tails. Clearly, I don't know much about Naruto. His hair looks a little unrealistic, especially on the side facing us. It would help if you broke it up a little by showing an ear, or something. On the other hand, it's anime, and for all I know his hair looks like that in the show. What did you do to get that glowy effect?[/font]

[quote name='Ace'][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]You should just go up there and totally show them up at it. Then maybe you can humiliate them into quieting down without technically being mean about it.[/FONT][/QUOTE][font=helvetica]Ha! I am pretty sure I would not be the one doing the humiliating; it's been a [i]long[/i] time since I've played DDR. I'm hoping that they'll stop by eleven. Eleven seems like a reasonable time to request quiet.[/font]

[quote name='xxxscenekidxxx']is it gross were u go to school? cuz it is here... what about your lunch ladies... they are all fat and lazy and a couple of them are dirty and gross...[/QUOTE][font=helvetica]I hope they spit in your food.[/font]

[quote name='Knuckles' Girl']I prefer the Moutain Dew Live Wire and Voltage.[/QUOTE][font=helvetica]Speaking of Mountain Dew products, has anyone tried the Pepsico [url=http://www.pepsithrowbackhub.com/]Throwbacks[/url] recently?[/font]

[font=helvetica]I think the high-schoolers in the apartment directly above my bedroom are playing DDR. My walls, ceiling, and windows are all shaking. I don't really want to knock and complain, because they're in high school, it's only 10pm, and it's a Saturday night. . . but darn it all, I am a cranky old spinster and I want some [i]peace and quiet[/i].[/font]
