Not a bad idea.

The worry, of course, lies in spamming. After looking through various boards that have a high posting ratio, I've seen people posting to their threads "BUMP!" just to get them back at the top. Sure, you might get your thread noticed, but sometimes there's a reason no one posted to your thread, and you're just aggrivating them now. On other boards, even though you have infinite posting access, they still limit you on posting more than once in the same thread. If we were to instill double posting, the hope is that people won't abuse it and post more than twice-in-a-row in the same thread. (Last edited by Rogue on 12-27-05 11:22 PM)

I don't post quizzes much (when the hell did Quizilla become validation for the forum and blog dwellers? When?!), but I found this one to be interesting and accurate to me.

You are RE-OPENING WOUNDS. Synopsis: Most people have performed this at some point in their lives, but it's the people who constantly don't allow their wounds to heal who are considered to "self-mutilate". These people are often very detail-oriented and notice the slightest changes in their environment. They likely also are an excellent judge of character. Positive trait: Observant Negative trait: Judgemental Color: Black Emotion: Anti-social Animal: Wolf Quote: "Stars, hide your fires; let not light see my black and deep desires." What form of self-mutilation are you? brought to you by Quizilla EDIT: Sorry, had to delete layout so it would be easier to see the quiz result's picture. (Last edited by Rogue on 12-28-05 01:34 AM)

Originally posted by ~|Kyo|~ Most definitely not. The list leaves out movies like Kung Fu Hustle, Proof, The Aristocrats, Steamboy, Serenity, hell even March of the Penguins... the list goes on... any of these are better than most of the list. The problem with the site that produced that list is the fact that they are so easily swayed and aren't neutral media at all. They get invited to movie sets and so on, so they play favoritism with whomever gives them the sweeter deal. I'm surprised Fantastic Four isn't on there with how the site plays favorites with Marvel.

I found this by accident today and looked through how this critic rated the flags of each country.
|
There isn't any real system to it (though the site's creator posts their "methodology"), almost seemingly random grading--almost like ABC's failed reality series "Are you Hot?" where judges just came out with a random point system. "Your knees are too shiny. I'm giving you a 5.3 for attitude." World's Flags given Letter Grades Incidentally, he gave the U.S.'s flag 60%, which to most everyone else in the world counts as a D, but to him is a C+.

I finally got to see my cousin, this past weekend, who moved to Vegas but was home for the holidays. I told him about the power outage and the routing of the emergency power and he laughed and said he truly wasn't surprised.

A friend of his stayed at the Stratosphere hotel and he came to visit them. According to him, the hotel is ridiculously crappy. Water stains in the ceiling, mold in random parts of the hotel, things broken that should have been fixed years ago... hell, when Zoso and I stayed at the Frontier, one of the crappiest hotels on the strip, it wasn't near as shitty in the description.

That's very true! No Sith whatsoever on that list.

I wasn't a fan of it, but it was better than bleedin' War of the Worlds, for fuck's sake. (restricted) | (restricted) | (restricted) |

A little girl is playing in the bedroom and comes across some sharp scissors.
|
She then cuts her hair into a butchered mess. But for a reason...

This is a friend of mine, and it's always amusing watching other people wonder if this person is really male or female.

Originally posted by Zabuza I think they just didn't want to spoil the reason why she cuts her hair. I thought it was a really sweet video when I saw it.

Was it the curly, blond-haired Jesus PBS-special version?
|
It's kinda sad. I should probably have seen this, especially since I collect movies like Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter and such. Though I haven't seen it, I sometimes get that song stuck in my head, but since I don't know what they're saying it usually comes out as, "Jesus Christ, Superstar.. who in the hell do you think you are?"

Originally posted by Sparda Yeah, when I was going through where to put this, I didn't think Crazy or Entertainment were right, and it didn't seem like General. I put it here because, though not a completely debatable topic, people can address the deeper meanings behind it and so on. Who knows, maybe there was someone out there who thought it was tripe and wanted to say so. I'm up for it being moved, if necessary. I do agree that it's better than most of the American crap we've got to wade through.

Sweetie, I know you;ve got a lot of enthusiasm which is a big plus, but please don't bump older threads, especially to say that you started it a while ago.

Nothing personal, but I gotta close this. Sorry. I do thoroughly enjoy Metallica, though. My boyfriend's a HUGE fan. *does the close* |
