ABR Discussion Thread XXVIII: Read it or Chris the celestial will set you on fire!

[Green-Shirt Q]

Considering that it was Jim's idea in the first place...

It's STILL pointless!

[SinisterPenguin]

Hey look, 50 pages.

Someone needs to make a new thread.

[kpenguin]

He's also probably the most mature person here.

I'd disagree with that assessment.

[Fay Graydon]

Whos making the new thread?

[The Gremlin]

Grem is so all about this idea he shuts down anyone to say otherwise. Nay, by the way. (charges mah lazer)

You're one to talk.
Instead of trying to dispute any of my arguments, you make an unfounded insult.
KP: Debatable, yes, but quite possible.
Oh, by the way, I actually SAID earlier that we needed a new thread, but most people tend to ignore my arguments and anything in the same post as them, so I guess I'll repeat it: We need a new thread, the title should be 'FI is soon, honest!' or suchwhat, etc.
Q, if people prefer Wikia to Wetpaint, then there's obviously a point.

O.o
Calm down Gremlin... seriously hunny...
Maybe you could make the new thread yeah?

[Ninja Chocobo]

*looks like Im about to say something but desides against it*
I was about to say that "Its questionable"

Man he's mature enough to use proper English on the internet, which makes him many many times more mature than you.

Also it takes me like half an hour to change pages on Wetpaint. It's awful, seriously.

[Fay Graydon]

Okay Chocobo... im going to just ignore you know...
You constant bugging at my use of Improper English is starting to get on my nerves.
Would you please stop.

[Ninja Chocobo]

And your use of improper English...does not get on my nerves? Since when?

[The Gremlin]

I don't want to make the new thread, somebody who never has should.
And I am calm. But CA went and insulted me for no reason except that he clearly had no counter to my argument. Because whenever somebody insults rather than argue, then it is my rule of thumb that they have conceded. I don't fight dirty.
I'm with NC on this one. If an Australian can use proper English grammar, you can too.

[Darklord Bright]

Hell, Keveak uses more decent grammar than a lot of the "Native English Speakers" around here, and it's not even his first language...

(That was a compliment to Kev more than anything...)

[CrimsonAngel]

^: Pfft, I learned not to argue with you a looong time ago.

Considering that it was Jim's idea in the first place...

Jim is a moron.

[Mad Mask]

I'd disagree with that assessment.

The most mature ABRer is probably Lyinginbedmon. But I'm still pretty high on that list.

Jim is a moron.

That's not very kind. I think you should apologise.

[Emperor Ing]

That's not very kind. I think you should apologise.

Depends, who's Jim?

[Mad Mask]

Depends, who's Jim?

You know very well who Jim is.

[CrimsonAngel]

Oh no, I didn't mean you, Mask. I meant the guy who wanted to move the building slightly.

[Emperor Ing]

You know very well who Jim is.

That is not at the least bit helpful, I demand to know who this "Jim" is at this moment.

[Mad Mask]

That is not at the least bit helpful, I demand to know who this "Jim" is at this moment.

Jim is a metaphor for myself.

[BRC]

This should explain things:

So the hell what?!

"Hey, this finsihed building is perfectly fine where it is right now, but let's just move it two centimetres to the left just for the hell of it, even though we get nothing from that. Even though it's a lot of work, Jim's going to be doing it, so who cares?"

Jim=Mad Mask
Moving the Building=Copying the Wiki

[V'icternus]

The analogy is slightly wrong, however, as the building should not be being slightly moved at all. A whole new building will be built, an almost exact replica of the old building, and become the new official building of... whatever.

[Mina Kobold]

Wikia and Wetpaint are different so that analogy is wrong too.

It's more like that they build the new in a different design in hope that it's better.

Well thank you

But you know... It's neither Mad's first language.

[Nameless]

Not really. They're pretty lenient mostly. It's just the stupid programs they have for the computer they don't know how to fix. One of them blocks everything but this website and a few other websites, and the other just blocks stuff randomly.

But to it's credit, if I didn't have a parental control system I would probably abuse the privilege. >.>

So, the "I'm 80-something" thing was a joke?

Q, if people prefer Wikia to Wetpaint, then there's obviously a point.

But not everyone prefers Wikia to Wetpaint. Q, me and Calamity are examples.

Also, why are we arguing over who's the most mature person? People act differently over the internet to how they act in real life, you can't judge someone's personality if they don't use proper English on the internet. Just because I use "lol" from time to time doesn't mean I say "lol" in real life.

[kpenguin]

People who want to stay with Wetpaint, use and maintain the wiki on Wetpaint. People who want to move to Wikia, go make pages on Wikia. There's no reason both wikis can't exist.

So, the "I'm 80-something" thing was a joke?

Not a joke. An elaborate ruse intended to deceive us all!

Just delete the programs, it's rather easy -if you use Windows at least-

That word makes my ears hurt (yes,it hurts my ears to READ it)
A lot of people tend to use those kinds of words in real life for no apparent reason, but back on the topic it actually do show something about a persons maturity whether or not they use such words as "lol" or the so called "leet speak". In my opinion that is.

I don't use "l33t" outside the context of a joke. Me and my friends sometimes mess around though. For example, my friend wrote L on each side of his cheek and made his mouth into an "O" shape. He walked around school all day like that.
And then I have chats where we have goes at extending "LOL".
lol
lul
lukz
lawlz

It's never appropriate.
