juna Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 Pre-story Note: I saw there was a topic mentioning this but it had been closed.... Ahem: This morning when I woke up, well before my first cup of coffee, I came to the computer, plopped down and read some email. Saw a couple peeps posted on some of my threads so I wanted to check out what they said.... Go to the ol' address bar and type, otakuboard.com. I get to what looks like a new otakuboard layout - silly me thinks that OB has switched to the next version overnight. I immediately saw the link for OtakuBoard, so I clickied on it. Eh, interesting layout, but I wasn?t to keen on it (No disrespect to any other boards), and when I went to log in, it kept on telling me that there was no such user/bad password. WTF? So, I click on forgot password, and entered in the email address I signed up with, comes back this time with no such user with that email. ARG! I go to the Members list to find my name, and notice that there aren?t as many users on OB as before.... *scratches head* I start thinking to myself that maybe, this was the new layout, but all users hadn't been transferred over yet...I didn't know what to think... Frustrated, after about 20 minutes of "detective work", I decide, duh! go through theotaku.com. So I did, and followed the link to the boards, low and behold, yay! I'm back. Confused as to what just happened, I went into my history and saw the silly error I had made... laf, *forgot the s* Heh, I just started laughing, how silly... please someone out there make me feel better, has anyone else done this, or am I the only silly naive?

Guest Zeh Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 I did it once, right away I knew it wasn't OB, though. Why would OB have a Hentai section is beyond me, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Na'dou Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 That's never happened to me because all I have to do it type "o" and then my AOL will finish the rest. Isn't that just handy?...Okay, I love you buh-bye... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terpischore Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 [color=b60039]Haha, exactly, Zeh...i went to it when you mentioned it, i went onto the OB boards...black and red...::shudder:: i like the WHITENESS of these OB boards...I wonder if they're a copy cat?[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiroMunkie Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 [size=1]I have never done that... It has comepoint that I cannot even type OtakuBoards anymore without typing the 's'. Not even I try. My hands have a mind of their own it seems. They do what they know to do. That is an odd place though. I visited it, and at the first page I was not very impressed...[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Taylor Hewitt Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 Oh I saw those boards before. I was a member for some time until I was banned by a moderator who let his personal opinion of me get me banned. Aww well I am glad I'm here now :). All the best Taylor Hewitt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amorphous Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 [color=teal][size=1]That problem will not happen to me because I have bookmarked the forum index directly. So it really shouldn't ever happen unless I'm on a different computer. Your post was slightly entertaining none the less.[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Taylor Hewitt Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 Yeah I got it in favourites as well. Who wouldn't. But I guess some people are on another computer sometimes. But I prefer these boards over the other ones not to mention the other 2. Taylor Hewitt Forever Red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OtakuSennen Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 Heh.. I told my friends about otakuboards and they kept on typing in the URL without the s at the end.. They said stuff like "GEEZ, NICK, YOU LOOK AT HENTAI!?" I was confused about that.. Then I found out they forgot the s. -_- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teengohan Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 ive never done that either. But as Na'dou said aol pretty much types it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juna Posted July 12, 2003 Author Share Posted July 12, 2003 Ya, ermm, sorry, I didn't even know that they had that "stuff" on there, laf. Mysteriously enough, I just saw the OtakuBoard link and clicked on it without even investigating what those cards were all about... I would have to agree that most people do use URL's in favorites or saved, I dunno though, I just like typing them out everytime for some reason...laf. That's a funny story about your friends Sennen.. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chris Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 [color=#707875]i just have ob on my favorites list. it's much easier and i need little brain power to work it.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Randleman Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 never happens to me. my quick link toolbar is my life. just a click and i'm there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeebs Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 I did the same thing a while back when the boards were down. I would keep checking back and one time I forgot the "s". I thought that the boards were back up. I tried to enter my username but it wouldn't work, so I registered. After a while I noticed the hentai forum, so I know I was in the wrong place. I think they deleted my username because I've only posted there once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 YAY IM NOT ALONE!! I did this... and i was completely confused. I sat dumbfounded for quite a while when it said my user name did not exist. I had not been to otakuboardS in a few days and so i figured well they must have done a new version swithc or something nad i lost my account like when V2 went to V3 (at least i think it was that Version that i lost that account...) I finally just hit my home button again and........ooppps.... i made the mistake.... I had to show that to my friend Shaun later on when i saw him. It was quite amuseing after i got over being ticked off at my own stupidity... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XeEmO Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 That's happened to be quite a few times. I type pretty fast so I didn't even bother putting otakuboards in my favorites. I do however, have it on my quick link toolbar now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittyLynn Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 [SIZE=1][COLOR=dodgerblue]I have it bookmarked in my favourites. So I have never made The Mistake. I don't want to see this Mistake either. >_< Hentai grosses me out! -Kitty [/COLOR][/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terpischore Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 [color=0eade7]Well, [b]KittyLynn[/b], it's not like right as you type it in it goes straight to the Hentai pictures..there are like three colums, and if you move your mouse over them, one of them says Hentai..then the little red blob guy blushes..i found that funny.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juna Posted July 15, 2003 Author Share Posted July 15, 2003 Hehe, those are great stories Angel and Blanko...

Star I Am Not Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 I forgot the URL for OB a few days ago, and I was on my brother's computer, which doesn't have OB bookmarked. I got to THREE different message boards before landing here. Otakuforum.com, Otakuforums.com and Otakuboard.com. x_x; Oi... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Crimson Spider Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 I remember 2 years ago I was in Cybertech of some poor school. I said to a few people: "Wan't to see a funny board?" I then typed down the URL without the S, then I'm like: "What the crap? This isn't the place!" I then scrolled down, the getto idiots then saw the hentai section. Then the wrestling match broke out between the Blood red arachnid and the getto guys. We wrestled around with the mouse, keyboard, myself, my chair. It's hard to prevent 3 people from taking your mouse and clicking on the hentai section. Anyway, the teacher managed to stop us, with me taking the blame for the commotion. That, of course, was before they had the whole card thing. *remembers when people wanted a yaoi section of theotaku* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
