[QUOTE=Allamorph][FONT=Arial]Jays, he's like one of those synthetic oil molecules. You hit him, and he breaks into three million tiny DBs, then recombines. Do we really want that many of him around, even momentarily? :p Yeah, I don't use my hadouken anymore. Death Valley was an accident, (I got mad at a small child), and I'd rather not do it again.[/FONT][/QUOTE] [color=deeppink]So we hadoken him so completely that al his molecules are destroyed. Worked with Cell when he got hit by that hadoken rip-off.[/color]

[color=deeppink]Ogre Slayer. It's only four episodes, but [i]man[/i] are those 4 episodes good. It gets surprisingly deep and thought-provoking for an anime from the early 90s (apparently, though the animation looks like it would be from the 80s), and the characterization is top-notch. Also, Lupin, because it's just so freaking awesome in every way.[/color]

[QUOTE=Charles]Well, after being scolded, I will now extend the courtesty of revealing a shocking secret: I was in fact, Baby Girl. I hope that this will prompt anyone in the RPG not to be offended at how badly I tarnished Baby Girl's name with my very convincing imposter act. P.S. I promise not to do any more terrorist attacks![/QUOTE] [center][IMG]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=26159&stc=1[/IMG] [/center] [color=deeppink]I had no idea. The disguise was flawless![/color]

[quote name='Baby Girl][color=deeppink]Oh no! Please don't mention that name again! Is Kevin still around? You guys would protect me from him, wouldn't you?[/color'] :crying:[/quote] [color=deeppink]Well, you [i]are[/i] the enemy, so we can't promise anything. However, if you joined the CTU... [/color]

[quote name='Peanut][font=tahoma][size=2]Everyone has gone through a break up once in your life. Okay, so there are rarely those people who marry their highschool sweethearts. [/font'][/size][/quote] [color=deeppink]Even if we don't take into account the "highschool sweetharts," there are those who haven't ever had a break up. I'm sure there are those among us who've never had a relationship, and thus ever never had to break up with someone. I can name a few local friends who are like that. My last breakup went smooth. I could tell that we were drifitng apart, and decided to end it. She took it well (too well, actually, heh) and we stayed friends for quite a while after that.[/color]

[color=deeppink]Baby Girl, we're not trying to be bullies here. We just want to get to the bottom of this problem; it seems more than one person is seeing this, which makes me think it's a problem with OB itself. I mean, it's not like anyone wants this problem to continue; I know I wouldn't like my account to make me look like I was actually kuja or Rick Hunter or something. Wouldn't that be embarassing?[/color]

[quote name='Baby Girl][color=deeppink']Nerdsy, hehe,I have to admit, I'm starting to lose a little bit of patience. ;) [/color][/quote] [color=deeppink]Oh, I'm not trying to accuse you of anything, if that's what you're thinking! I'm merely concerned about the stability of your account, and for that matter OB as a whole. What with the e-mail system failing, and now this, something sounds seriously wrong with OB.[/color] [quote name='Char-I mean Baby Girl][color=deeppink']As for my posts linking to Charles', I have no idea. Perhaps it's a glitch in the software.[/color][/quote] [color=deeppink]That must be it. I guess that also explains why your OB profile seems to link to Charles' MyO account, and why it seems as if there is now a seperate account, under your original name "Babygirl," that has all your posts! Man, OB sure is screwed up these days. And I'm glad you switched back to deeppink. We deeppinkers have a proud tradition to uphold![/color]

[QUOTE=Baby Girl][COLOR=DarkOrchid]You must have been clicking on the wrong profile. Mine is nothing like his. Perhaps you have a bit too much Charles on the mind. As for where his name is on the memberlist is--perhaps he is using invisible mode, which would also hide him on the forum leaders list. Once Queen Asuka sees that I am back and how confused you poor anti-terrorists are, she'll surely be happy to have Adam's Angels back![/COLOR][/QUOTE] [color=deeppink]But that dancing cat image matches Charles' so perfectly... not to mention that you appear to be using invisible mode too, yet I can see you on the forum leaders list. Congratulations on becoming a category monitor again after being back for roughly an hour. If it were anyone else, I'd be suspicious. Even though all of Charles' old posts now appear under the name "Baby Girl." Hm... Man, I'm sure glad this isn't some terrorist plot to trick Asuka into joining them. I doubt she'd react well to such a manipulative ploy... Hard not to have Charles on the mind when all the coincidences keep popping up...[/color]

[QUOTE=Baby Girl][COLOR=DarkOrchid]Oh Nerdsy! It's been such a long time since I've posted! I forgot just how light pink is. Living in the bright sun of southern California can do that to a girl. I think I need to go for something a little darker though, to reflect my terrorist nature. [/COLOR][/QUOTE] [color=deeppink]Ah, but that's what I'm talking about. You didn't post in pink; you posted in deeppink, which is considerably darker. In fact, the very same font color I use! I'd recognize it anywhere. Something else funny. Seems all your old posts were actually made by Charles, and your profile reads exactly like Charles'... and I can't find Charles' profile on the memberlist! You also seem to have taken Charles' place on the "View Forum Leaders" page... Something is clearly amiss.[/color]

[color=deeppink]For the purposes of avoiding plotholes, this post will take place before Engel switched sides. ; ) _____________________________________ I laid in my bed, desperately awaiting unconsciousness. It never comes easy; even though I had been awake for nearly two straight days, I knew it would still be hours before the sandman would find me. My mind was a blur of jumbled, half-formed ideas, appearing and dissipating before I could even grasp their meaning. However, there was one persistent thought that was, unfortunately, all too worrisome. [i]Will she come?[/i] Why would she? After all, I had left her. I left them both; the stress of the battlefield proved too much for me. I was a coward, and I could not bear to tell them; I left without telling either of them. I broke up the Triad. Grape Ape had figured it out shortly beforehand, which is likely why he forgave me. But her... I had no right to ask for her help, to beg for her forgiveness. I would not blame her if she never wanted to see me again. A knock at the door drew me from my stupor. [i]How do they expect me to get any rest if they keep disturbing me? They all know of my insomnia![/i] I thought angrily as I hurriedly dressed and headed towards the door. [i]This better damn well be important.[/i] I opened the door and my heart forgot how to beat. [b]You look terrible.[/b] [b]Nice to see you too, Sara.[/b] [b]Pfft. It's Drei now, Ploppy.[/b] She had come. She had forgiven me. I did not deserve it. [b]I believe you've been ordered to rest, soldier. I'll see you tomorrow; we have a lot to catch up on.[/b] She waved at me as she walked back down the hallway. I was in a daze, barely conscious of my surroundings. I did not even bother to undress before I went back to bed. My head was clear; I was asleep before I hit the pillow. _______________________________________ Hmm, "Baby Girl," something seems wrong with you. Not just your name, which appears to be two words now; you seem to be having a lot of trouble remembering your old font color. I remember Charles had a problem with the exact same font not too long ago...[/color]

[QUOTE=Charles]So wait. I am just a little lost here. You do not believe that a facet of [B]anime[/B] belongs on [B]Otaku[/B]Boards? Perhaps you need to reconsider exactly what an Otaku is. The word "Otaku" directly refers to a group of people so depraved that they do not wander out of the domicile. To suggest that OtakuBoards should not allow these people to browse sexually themed materials is depriving many of them their rights as Otakus--their rights to ogle over well-endowed anime illustrations engaging in artistic sexual activity. We may as well stop Pizza Hut from serving pizza because pizza is too "fatty."[/quote] [color=deeppink]We're not stopping them. There's a whole internet out there full of this stuff, there are plenty of options. Also, the word "misnomer" exists for a reason. We've been called Otakuboards for several years without allowing porn. Our practices should not be decided solely on the basis of our catchy name.[/color] [quote]Since when has hentai been illegal once an age restriction has been put into place?[/quote] [color=deeppink]It's still illegal to the minors, which is what I was talking about you silly billy.[/color] [quote]I am not suggesting that there be no restrictions; the restrictions should just be lightened up a little so that we can enjoy free artistic license. I am just asking for some breathing room so that we can enjoy large, vibrant, beautiful banners and avatars. Is that so wrong, Nerdsy? Does that sound like a wasteland to you? The forums would be bursting with life. That's what they'd be doing.[/quote] [color=deeppink]Less is more, Charles.. The current restrictions provide plenty of room, and if you need are really desperate for more the art forum is always handy.[/color] [quote]I was an admin before and you are not convincing me; I doubt you will convince the others. I am calling for free love on OtakuBoards; how is that unreasonable?[/QUOTE] [color=deeppink]You're not an admin now, though, and are thus irrelevant. My purpose here is to convince those in power that my way is correct, thus keeping the OB exactly the way I want it.[/color] [quote name='TheBoss']My friend, you say it is immoral to enjoy a tasteful warning against the dangers of tentacle rape? Shall I remind you that these very well made films can and do act as warnings against the dangers of rape with tentacles involved. Let it be known I do not condon rape, simply I condon tasteful and artistic warnings against said things.[/quote] [color=deeppink]No one here is speaking out against tasteful warnings. However, porn is in no way a warning; it's sole purpose is to sexually arouse. Tentacle rape porn is not means of preventing tentacle rape, no more than "Debbie does Dallas" is a message for abstinance. [/color] [quote]It cannot be helped that you have an inferior connection. But the majority of OBers have higher speed connections, so why should the majority of OB have to suffer for the convenience of a handful of 56k connectors? It's called democracy.[/quote] [color=deeppink]The majority is hardly suffering; you're all just spoiled.[/color]

[quote name='Charles']Why are you so uptight? Loosen up and look at some hentai.[/quote] [color=deeppink]Just because I'm arguing against hentai in the forums doesn't mean I don't look at it. ; ) I simply don't feel it belongs here. It's the same reason I didn't try and get my school to offer a class on anime.[/color] [quote]We are only talking about simple illustrations here that are prevalent in anime to begin with. Perhaps you need to revist the last OtakuBoards picture thread when male members immeidately flocked toward any image a female member posted of themselves. I am sure that not only does the desire for this genre exist on OtakuBoards, it would probably be a healthy diversion for many of our members. At least they could relieve tension by lusting after fictional cartoons instead of stalking real ones on the Internet.[/quote] [color=deeppink]So... simple is less illegal? That's a new one. Would I get less jail time for robbing a bank with a gun than I would for setting up several rube goldberg-like traps for the guards (mostly involving banana peels)? Further, I for one am not about to promote obsessing over fictional cartoons. I hardly find that to be healthier than actually dealing with a real woman, where the man has a chance of [i]learning[/i] how to properly deal with them. Further, allowing porn is hardly an measured reaction. Tell me: how much of that "desire for it to exist" comes from those who are underage? I know a good deal of those who are for it are under 18, and even more are under 21.[/color] [quote]And the current image restrictions are hardly a nice balance. I would go as far as to say that they are anemic.[/QUOTE] [color=deeppink]I'd say that they're a perfect balance. Hm, that didn't work for me either. See, there's always going to be someone moaning about how things aren't balanced; you're going to need more than a simple opinion. If OB were to change its rules just because some unwashed whiner came along and demanded it, the rules would be pointless. In other words, anarchy. I recall a time when the boards were a lawless wasteland; I know you do too. Think long and hard: do you really want to go back to that? Perhaps you should concede defeat, before things are taken too far, before you unleash something you can't control. Well, [i]again.[/i][/color] [quote name='The Blue Bomber']The beast is unmoved. And unconvinced. It smells weakness.[/quote] [color=deeppink]Good thing I only need to convince an admin. I'm sure that won't be too difficult.[/color]

[QUOTE=Neuvoxraiha][font=times][COLOR=DarkOrchid]I'm trying to see how tentacle monsters are a bad thing. They have feelings too you know. Anyway, I'm almost shocked that you're all so interested in the proclivities of hentai viewers. Not all of us are sexual deviants just because we enjoy things that others find questionable. [/font][/COLOR][/QUOTE] [color=deeppink]We are not interested in your proclivities, as long as you don't bring them here. We are not judging you, nor are we telling you not to look at such drawings. We are merely worried about the consequences to OB itself, both in terms of the diminished user base and legal ramifications.[/color]

[quote name='Copycatalyst]The word pornography in its connotation is what it is; its denotation is another matter altogether, and is not some mere semantical squabble. Its connotative use is often [i]tinged[/i'] with Christian morality or some moralism of dichotomic ends.[/quote] [color=deeppink]Oh no, not Christian morality! Clearly there's nothing redeeming about Christian morals! And sorry Copy, but in the eyes of the law, denotation is irrelevant. Only connotation matters, and that is the impenetrable roadblock here. Hentai is still restricted from minors (whether or not it's fits in with my personal so-called "good and evil" mentality is irrelevant, because it is still illegal), and we would have to set up some sort of system. As we all know, no system like that is foolproof; we'd still have them little minors lying and getting in to see all kinds of naughty things. The scamps. The source here is, ignoring the irrelevant forums related to video games and writing, [i]non-pornographic anime.[/i] Read the rules. No adult content, and hentai is legally adult content, whether or not it's good or evil. And you fail to address the most important point of all: Adam doesn't want it, and I'm positive James would agree. With absolutely no chance to convince them, you're just blowing hot air. As far as the compromise goes; I believe such a compromise was made years ago. I remember a time when enormous images were often included in signatures; multiple images per signature, in fact. The "minority," as you called them, complained and thus the current rules came to be. We're at a nice compromise right now; why ruin a good thing? You're a brilliant poet, a worthy heir to Shakespeare himself, but I doubt you'd cut it as a lawyer, Copy my boy. [/color]

[quote name='Charles']It's not pornography--it's cartoon art that is shared freely in Japan.[/quote] [color=deeppink]Ooh, semantics. Lovely. Shall we consult a dictionary? According to the American Heritage Dictionary, pornography is "Sexually explicit pictures, writing, or other material whose primary purpose is to cause sexual arousal." Every other (non-archaic) definition is extremely similar to this. Hentai, my friend, fits this description like a glove. And what does it matter whether or not it's shared freely in Japan? We're not all Japanophiles here, Charlie boy, we don't model our practices after them. Hentai is restricted the same as live-action porn is in most countries, correct? I know that every time I've seen one in the stores, it's had one of those "must be 18 to buy" stickers on it. That being so, we would have to change the age restriction as Sara recommended. However, there are a lost of places where 18 is not old enough; therefore, to truly comply with all laws, we'd have to set a restriction of 21. Now, I'm not 21 yet, and I'd hate to be banned after well over 6 years of model behavior. this isn't even taking into account the fact that many of our mods (and even an admin!) is not 21. While the Blue Bomber does bring up a point, in that hentai may bring fresh meat to the boards, is that really the type of userbase we want? As Sara has said, has anyone here actually [i]been[/i] to 4chan? Slippery slope, my friends. Slippery slope. Copy's post, though eloquent (I expect nothing less from a poet of Copy's calibur), hinges on this idea that hentai is somehow part of OBs "material;" pornography has never been part of the material of this network of sites. Adam himself has even stated even refused in the past to make a shrine to ranma 1/2, despite that not being the worst that would be posted. We are strictly an anime website; that is, anime that is [i]not[/i] pornographic. In the end, every argument for hentai is moot when there's no chance in hell Adam will allow it. As for signature restrictions; there are those that enjoy looking at banners that are still on a 56k, and just saying "well, you can turn it off" is a bit callous. Has anyone seen the boards with the sigs off? [i]Boring.[/i] We'd be encouraging desertment among the memberbase. I know on my old 56k, even the current restrictions it took a while to load. This is a simple matter of not giving the "technologically advanced" members a distinct advantage, and trying to avoid giving our 56k members the shaft.[/color]

[color=deeppink]Hours of searching proved pointless as I combed endlessly through topic after topic. The search was hopeless; I wasn't going to find anything this way, and time was quickly running out. [i]I have no choice. I'll have to use it.[/i] I turned off my monitors; they would only distract me. I closed my mind and began to focus. I reached deep into my encyclopedic brain, hoping that the answer I saught was there. I began to mumble to myself, blissfully unaware of the concerned stares of my comrades. [b]Grape Ape and Charlie Bin Laden. A time when they were both looked up to; this would have to be old. [u]Real[/u] old. What could they mean? Was Charlie in Hero? No. What about the old crusade against the Newbie Lounge? No, that doesn't seem right; not old enough. What could the clue have meant? What does someone look up to? Someone looks up to a hero. An idol. A mentor. A role mo-[/b] I stopped. That was it. I flipped on a monitor; for this, I only needed one. My fingers moved so fast they could have set the place ablaze; but it was there. I was right, as always; there's a reason they call me the Otaku Historian. [b]Attention CTU. We have the final bomb, and not a moment too soon. You'll have to trek quite a ways through the old country to get to it, though: but it will be worth it if we can save [URL=http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?t=16255&highlight=role+models]Role Models of Otaku Boards[/URL]. Congratulations, CTU. We've done it; not one bomb has been detonated, not one innocent thread harmed; not that I expected any less. We rock.[/b] I sat back and basked in the victory. It felt good. It felt even better knowing I had made contact with our savior; we just needed to convince her to join the cause.[/color]

[QUOTE=indifference][COLOR=Indigo] As for theme songs I hate? The butchered English version of Sailor Moon. The lyrics are cheesy as hell and not anywhere as fun as the original lyrics. I was glad when they finally released the first couple of seasons uncut. Even if the quality sucked and the sound was poor. At least it was not that god awful English version.[/COLOR][/QUOTE] [quote name='ChibiHorsewoman']I'm just gonna go all old school and say: DiC Sailor Moon opening.

[color=deeppink]I'm here because I'm bored, and I'm also here for Otakupedia. It needs my obsessive knowledge.[/color]

[quote name='Nonentity][COLOR=DarkOrange']you know what? Shut the hell up. You can say what everyone's said a thousand times about the One Piece theme song, but I don't know a single mutha ****er who can honestly say they hate the Pokemon original opening. And if i were to cross someone saying so, I'd whap them upsode the head. [/COLOR][/quote] [color=deeppink]Goofy, awkward rap trumps cheesy psuedo-rock. Besides, just because one song they produced is almost tolerable, that doesn't mean somebody can't hate the other umpteen horrible songs 4kids have attatched to their anime abortions. I wholeheartedly agree that 4kids sucks. I've never watched a 4kids production that didn't make we want to vomit, with the exception of Pokemon, but that changed shortly after I turned twelve.[/color]

[color=deeppink]My precious monitors whirred back to life shortly after I cleansed them of their great evil. It would still be a while before I they were running at full capacity; almost a fourth were still completely blue. [i]This is worse than anything Microsoft ever threw at me.[/i] Even without the signal at my disposal, the majority of the terrorist's bombs were disarmed. [i]Clearly a testament to the abilities of the OBCTU.[/i] There was still a threat, but clearly victory was ours. But I was not celebrating. While the victory was certainly impressive, the battle was inconsequential; the true blue threat was still to come. If we could not counter the enemie's strategie, our demise would be swift and the rest of OB would be soon to follow. Then, I had a horrible idea. A wonderful idea. A horrible, wonderful idea. Dare I suggest it? Dare I sink as low as the terrorists? Dare I counter pure evil with insane evil? There had to be another way. This stategy would doom OB as sure as if I'd summoned the blue demon myself. [i]No. There is another way. There's still...[/i] I flipped on the mic, and it crackled quickly to life. The big blue daddy never could silence anyone. [b]People, get ready to rejoice. I'm about to recruit our savior.[/b] We had power. We had courage. We needed [u]wisdom.[/u][/color]

[color=deeppink][i]At this rate, we'll have these simple-minded terrorists crying in their silly robes.[/i] I scanned diligently, although the rest of the cases were not coming quite so easily. No matter; nothing can escape my gaze for long. That's when it happend: every single one of my monitors turned blue. I started to panic. [i]What's happening? [u]How[/u] could this be happening?[/i] And then I realize the truth; I was staring the answer right in it's blue face. I yelled out to our commander, panic oozing from every syllable. [b]Grape Ape, sir! We have a major problem![/b] Words formed on the screan, taunting me. The devil himself could not have frightened me more than these words.[/color] [color=blue][b]You certainly do.[/b][/color]
