I totally trust this broad. She seems legit.

Ah, so the advertising thread went with spa? damn

Yeah, I miss SPA. I never went in there and it was great

Just let me know if you have any questions Thanks. Love the board, by the way. The layout is done really well.

Just let me know if you have any questions

I got a question. Why?

Great question. It is simple really. The more the merrier. Role-playing has decreased (all genres) over the past, I'd say five years. To all that enjoy it, this is for them really; not just my board and me. It keeps things going, active and alive. There are possibilities to become an affiliate, expanding etc.

You misunderstood my question. I am displeased by this!

Why? You mean, why let me know if you have questions?

You still misunderstand my question. I am even more displeased by this!

I blame star wars for this world wide economic recession!

I blame corporate greed, but hey, that's just me.

Hmmm... I never realized how similar the Star Wars & Sonic fanbases are...

1999 started a long line of disappointments for both

At least our fandom didn't have last year's Clone Wars movie. Oh wait, we had Sonic 2006 instead. My bad!

Ahoy! Just another one of the TGU ladies stopping by!

Dropping in... Lanei is fast.

And hello everyone!

MOAR!

Lol, there are quite a few more of us at our home board! Stop in and say hello!

MOAR HERE!

A quick profile check reveals that they are "spamming" their board on other forums too: http://underworldlarp.yuku.com/reply/29118

Also the same other two that followed post the same "ahoy" and "dropping in" messages on those boards too... make of it what you will. Seems very prescripted and planned.

That's because we planned for this to happen.

That's because we planned for this to happen.

That's what they all say, babe.

We did indeed plan it. We aren't "spamming". We're here to advertise and also say hello. After our initial messages, you'll note that as people reply, our responses also change. Advertising is good for any community that wants to bring in new members, and that's what this is: an advertising drive that we've set up so everyone on our board can participate if they wish, and meet some new folks in the process.

Right now, it so happens that Lan, Mariya and I are all online at about the same time. I'd expect more people coming by at different points to say hello as well. We always figure the more the merrier, but if you'd rather not have us here, just please, let us know and we will leave you be.

We aren't here to irritate you.

Rishi u.u

Stop patronising them will you

*has a look at their board*

Good, as long as it's not just a post advert and run the people of the mofo will be happy.

Nope. We're here to have fun too. We like when people stop by and post a bit, rather than just leaving an Ad and not coming back. So we rigged this up to hopefully be a little bit of fun for all involved.

I haven't played Sonic in years, I didn't know there was a site like this! I'm mostly in to the RP stuff, so I'll have to check out those sections for my own curiosity!

I want some sexy guys pics, invite the guys from your forum over, kk? :3

lol, I'll pass that invite on Erika. Next week it's the guy's turn to see if they can do more of these than the ladies did, but board's we've already been to don't count! I'll send some your way, though watch out for the Vong!

Sorry to ruin your fun, but I'm afraid this thread does count as an ad under our rules, and hence will be moved to the appropriate location.

Also, some of the folk who've posted here have signature images in excess of the sizes defined by the rules.

I've no objection to anyone of you posting here, but please don't do it just for the purposes of advertising your board.

Thank you.

TGU? Havn't seen you guys spam us in a while. I used to be every other month, byt now you never call, you never write... we used to have something special man! :_:

Also Silv, you moved this while I was reading it }=o

Ph33r mai mad 1337 topic-moving skiljz!

Ok, somehow I found this literally in the dark here. We apologize for bothering you folks. We didn't see that advertising was not allowed, or we wouldn't have put it up. Either way, you folks are welcome at our board, and we may pop in on occasion to say hello

I will hold my breath in anticipation.

I'm moving this back because:

1. We actually don't have a policy about ads at the moment since the topic they went in is now gone.

2. The people posting here are very polite and also returned to participate.

Good luck to you.

Thanks. Love the board, by the way. The layout is done really well.

Thank you. The board definitely used to be better (and more welcoming) but we're trying a number of ideas to improve.

Hmmm... I never realized how similar the Star Wars & Sonic fanbases are...

Ah the symmetry. BTW SHQ actually started as Zifei's Star Wars and Sonic site before it became Sonic HQ in 1998.

This..... is hilarious! I'm gong over there just cause this ad campaign is making me crack up so much.

Not to sound disrespectful and no offense to the ladies, either but, yes we do have a rule about ads. And that's "don't advertise, it's okay if it's in your sig, though". o.o

^ Truth.

Guys, I'm leaving to join their board. I'm sorry but JarJar is less irritating than Big.

Rules for lawyers also states that: "Keep ads in your sig. Ad topics posted will be moved to Rico's Closet. "

However in the general rules saying "or where otherwise stated" seems to be a bit ambiguous as there is not over reference to otherwise anymore (since the rules as of "01-22-09" have edited out any mention of the SPA's ad thread).

Possible solutions:
Allow ad like topics in mfc (as long as the person/people have shown genuine interest in their posts towards the mofo) and aren't the "post and run" type of ad spammers.
Have a time scale for ads in mfc, so after X days they disappear.
Remove "otherwise" from the rules and carry on having all ad topics moved to the closet (however since most people do not know/use the closet would it be any better to just deleting ad thread?)
MFC advertisement: sticky or non-sticky.

Hm... Star Wars? 'Ladies night'? Something's... not right...

The Ladies of the Galactic Underworld want you!

..... No further Questions...... Anyhow, we may as well just make a new sticky ad thread. Although, you realize all you're doing is slowly turning MFC into the SPA. A spam section in a forum is generally good in that all the worst spam is vamped off of the other sections. Whether you liked it or not, the Spa did its job well. Also, the post count got Epic instant killed when the Spa left. Therefore, I vote we have a New Spa, with a clear set of rules for starters. Maybe even better Adminning of it. The whole "Good Spam Bad Spam" thing should go too. No one is funny all of the time, and asking that of your members is ridiculous. You may as well pre screen all threads before they can be posted looking for bad jokes, then get rid of them. Also, people who think we're better off without a spa are rather deluded. They fail to notice that our dwindling community doesn't seem to attract members on its own. And on a higher note, getting rid of the spa didn't even make this place better. If you take away an addicts drugs, he'll still be an addict. The spam is still here, its just in different places. If you've taken a good look at the MFC lately, you'd know that. On the subject of the MFC, all it's really become is a watered down version of the Spa. More interesting, however, is that somehow, the admins have managed to make the Mofo generally boring. People don't like to take stabs at humor if they thing their going to fail, leaving most of our threads short and boring. Let's be honest here, most of the people who go on the mofo nowadays just quickly browse new threads, post a few comments, and are done for the day. I myself have gone from spending decent bits of time on the forum and yuku chat to generally just keeping it open in a tab and making 2 or 3 posts a day. B.T.W., If someone says something about how we should try to post something interesting everyday, then you're an idiot cause good idea's don't materialize outta frickin air. To clarify, I'm not saying the spa was the greatest thing every. I'm not saying it wasn't full of bad spam. Heck, I'm not even gonna say that it didn't deserve a cleanup. What I am going to say though, is that it was necessary. And you know why? Because it was one of the few areas on the board where people were actually interesting. Many lulz were had there, along with many facepalms and memes. That was the beauty of the Spa. We actually posted in it, and people actually read things. It wasn't all good, but at least it kept people on the mofo. Anyhow, I'm rambling now. My suggestion that we bring back the Spa with some stricter rules still stands though.

Fang wins!

I hadn't realized this had been moved back out in to the open. Our many thanks. Again, we didn't realize that posting this was against your rules, and we won't do it again.

How are things over here on this side of yuku for you guys?

Hm... Star Wars? 'Ladies night'? Something's... not right...

Believe it or not, we actually have more female writers at TGU than male writers. I guess because the forum is run by a girl (me), the girls of TGC (the larger, main RP board we hail from) are more comfortable hanging out there than almost any of our other factions!

You'd think having the majority of the faction being girls would be fun, but...it has it's drawbacks.

No.

No drawbacks.

None whatsoever.

3/4 of the month there's no drawbacks, I'll say that much.

Just checked out the forum these... people... have been pimping over the last few days. Seems okay in terms of layout or whatever, but I'll never join since I hate RPing. With a motherf****ng passion.
