Don't you think you go a bit overboard with the forums.  In all seriousness, it's got to be way to much work to listen to all that music, and to visit and maintain all these forums.

Yeah... for me, I maintain like... four forums as a moderator, and I still have time to chill at here, ZU, and [size=0]/b/[/size] (but only to look for possible hack threats)...

Sora, you should really spend less time making endless forums and listening to music and more time studying and playing outside or something.

hmm.. i have trouble working on 3 sites

idk, I usually give up on those, but I most defly will not give up on this one, I swear. :D

Post by: DW on August 23, 2007, 04:52:08 PM
Yeah. Sure. Jdog, there's just no reason for anyone to go to your forums if you don't have something special and unique to offer.

Post by: Commodore Axilon on August 23, 2007, 05:11:45 PM
Why does anyone go to this forum then?

If you guys have problems with me making forums, why do you even post in the topics I make? and its my life, I can do whatever I want.
Title: Re:Sigh, once again.
Post by: Commodore Axilon on August 23, 2007, 07:57:02 PM
Yes, but people don't have to like it. :P
Title: Re:Sigh, once again.
Post by: JDog on August 23, 2007, 08:03:59 PM
So, they still don't have to post if they don't like it. I think it happens to be good, and so do the members that are there, so ha!

Yet you are the one who kept incessantly posting about that kids show...

Jdog, I know it's your life, I'm just saying you should really stop spending all your time making forums and more time working and studying. For crying out loud, you're a senior now? You need to get good grades if you want to make it into a good college and get a good job.

QuoteWhy does anyone go to this forum then?

Because the site has a lot of unique features to it, such as Ask Ezlo, Caption Game, and the Compendium. That's how the forums first got members, and since then this has been one of the best forums out there.
Title: Re:Sigh, once again.
Post by: Gamefreak on August 24, 2007, 01:18:41 PM
I also think that may be a contributing factor as to why we're not getting new members.
Title: Re:Sigh, once again.
Post by: JDog on August 24, 2007, 01:39:09 PM
Im a junior Shika...
and I say 12 members in three days is good. :D
Title: Re:Sigh, once again.
Post by: DW on August 24, 2007, 01:51:59 PM
But you're 17? Were you held back?

Are all the members from this site though?
Title: Re:Sigh, once again.
Post by: JDog on August 24, 2007, 05:22:25 PM
Yes, I got held back, a while ago.
Are all the members from what site? uh?
Title: Re:Sigh, once again.
Post by: Pale Dim on August 31, 2007, 06:04:49 PM
From this site, I think he means.
And wow, calm down! I've never seen anyone get a sugar rush from how many members one gets on his forums!
I don't mean to make this issue worse than it is, but...
Think about Jack. When he was administrator, I never saw him go on a parade whenever somebody joined his forums. But than again, I wasn't one of the first ones here, so I shouldn't talk...
What I mean to say is that you shouldn't really make a big deal about these things.
Title: Re:Sigh, once again.
Post by: JDog on September 01, 2007, 10:40:21 AM
I wasn't, I was just saying how good it was too have 12 members in one day, we now have 29, woot. :D its becoming pretty great, there was some issues with some of the members awhile back, yeah, wasn't fun deleting all the spam stuff...
Title: Re:Sigh, once again.
Post by: DW on September 01, 2007, 10:47:38 AM
Maybe that gave you a little insight to dealing with spam...
Title: Re:Sigh, once again.
Post by: JDog on September 01, 2007, 11:33:35 AM
not only that, but some people were breaking the rules, like flaming, and insulting, and swearing, those are some three big rules that I disallow, and i have not seen either of them two members since that...

My legs hurt from the hundreds of parades I've started in the past few months.

Post by: Keaton on September 02, 2007, 05:02:37 PM
Back when Jack was... active, there were a lot of new members, and more were coming every day (or so I've been told).  Now, though, it's sort of 'those active people' and everyone else.
Title: Re:Sigh, once again.
Post by: JDog on September 02, 2007, 06:46:19 PM
yeah, but thats probably because people thought the whole site died, not just the main site(which really isn't dead with Alpha still posting updates)
Title: Re:Sigh, once again.
Post by: Keaton on September 26, 2007, 02:15:31 PM
All right, since you're letting the forums die, jdog, I hacked the site and am now an administrator.  I'm going to try to breathe life back into your forums (and take all those porn ads from spambots out of General Gaming).  After I'm done, ban me if you will... :P

I was 17 as a junior and I wasn't held back.  I just didn't start school until later because I'm so stupid.

I prefer to stick just to these forums.  They are about all I have time for.  I wouldn't want to start my own because I don't think anyone would ever join them.

I would DW, lol, but yea, what do you all think of the new skin I put in? :)

Yeah, I have a funny story about what you just said. A while back, I went out in my pajamas to take out the trash. There were these kids down the block that came by on skateboards. They told me that I need to be outside more instead of watching TV all day(and I don't watch almost any TV). I told them I didn't watch TV all day, and they gave me a sarcastic "sure".

I told them to hold on a moment, and ran inside. I got dressed, and came back with my skateboard and skate shoes. They couldn't even manual like 2 feet XD! I shut em up though! Hi fives for ZV! And in case you're ever in this situation JDog, you want to be able to shut people up right? These forums are a bit... I don't know how to say it. lol! But everyone gets my point. I joined your first one, and your second one, but they came in too many numbers, and I didn't feel like registering for them all XD
Title: Re:Sigh, once again.
Post by: JDog on September 29, 2007, 11:17:36 AM
yea, but I said Im keeping this one, and I mean it, its going on its third month!
Title: Re:Sigh, once again.
Post by: Keaton on September 29, 2007, 03:24:33 PM
True, but you left it to die for about a month, too...
Title: Re:Sigh, once again.
Post by: JDog on September 29, 2007, 03:48:40 PM
yea, but that was because school started... but now, Im back with it and will not let it go kaboom!

Umm... You DO know that Tacheon Black hacked into your website, right?
Title: Re:Sigh, once again.
Post by: JDog on September 29, 2007, 06:17:53 PM
yea, but he actually did it for a good cause, now if he did it for a bad cause, I woulda killed him! but he's pretty much helped save the site, plus the banner was added before I the new layout, haha, I didn't even notice the new banner before I put in the new layout, and ironicly, the layout fits the banner perfectly!!!!!!

I dare you to attempt to kill a Marine.

Post by: JDog on September 30, 2007, 02:27:05 PM
oh don't worry, I would try to kill him if he hacked it for bad reasons. :D

Once again, the point is missed.

I think GF's trying to say that if you try to kill me, you'll come out the worse of the two.

THIS MESSAGE BROUGHT TO YOU BY TACHEON BLACK[/i][/u]

What Predator said is true.  No forums are safe.

I know where you live, I know why you live...

But don't worry, I'm an ethical hacker.  I do, after all, have boundaries.
Title: Re:Sigh, once again.
Post by: Gamefreak on September 30, 2007, 03:39:34 PM
Wait, did you hack what I think you hacked?

No.  4chan wouldn't do that.

That's not saying that 1chan, 420chan, 7chan, 9chan, fapchan, or any other chan wouldn't, though.

Post by: darkphantomime on September 30, 2007, 04:56:28 PM
Just so you know, he really did hack into Jdog's other site, so 'twas possible (If jdog were stupid enough to use the same password) that either was possible...
Title: Re:Sigh, once again.
Post by: Keaton on September 30, 2007, 05:00:25 PM
Stupid isn't the right word... more like normal.  Most people use the same passwords for multiple sites, myself included.  If one were to figure out one of my passwords, they would in theory have enough to figure out every password I've ever used, even if they weren't the same per se.
Title: Re:Sigh, once again.
Post by: Gamefreak on September 30, 2007, 05:09:07 PM
I try to use about 3 different passwords to everything.  Just so I don't experience a domino effect.
Title: Re:Sigh, once again.
Post by: Keaton on September 30, 2007, 05:11:15 PM
I mean, of course I actually have variety, but it's not like I'm going to make a new password for every damn site.  That would just be tedious beyond all belief.
Title: Re:Sigh, once again.
Post by: Gamefreak on September 30, 2007, 05:17:19 PM
It would be.  And tough to memorize which password went to which site.
Title: Re:Sigh, once again.
Post by: Keaton on September 30, 2007, 05:31:30 PM
Hence 'tedious', kiddo.


Anyhow, Hyrule Field has 6 people in the last five minutes, not half-bad considering how dead this site was FOR A MONTH.

Well, five members and one guest, but whatever.
