Okay, I'm at Cold Storage right now (basically a giant freezer storage place, just as the name implies). The workers in there with heavy coats, hoods and whatnot are shivering their gonads off, some barely able to get in a word in due to their teeth chattering too much, and this gal trots right in wearing nothing more than a sleeveless shirt, a thin-ish vest and short-shorts. I'd really hate to be in her position.
Yeah, this happens in a lot of media (and with even poorer choice in attire), but I needed an excuse to post something on the new board.
Protected by 'power of the plot' perhaps? The plot would kind of go away if the main character died of frost bite.
Getting a bit nippy =D
i'm not going to post here cause i dont get it
TOO LATE
i know i shouldnt post to say i wont post but i felt everyone was depending on me to post to the weird topic and i had so much pressure i didnt know what to say and just felt i should speak my heart and tell people why i'm not posting in this thread.
which is the same reason i replied to you and did it again.
In the cartoon, Ash had to survive a night in a blizzard. In his regular short-sleeved jacket no less, which seemed to grant immunity to the blustery, snowy wind that was thick to the point of blinding. However, the instant he took off the jacket to wrap his Pokeballs with it, he started shivering.
Also, what the heck @ MobiusForum. Seems like it's spamming the board with topics and comments from the new one. I know the people in charge of the move want it to happen soon, but deeyang, they certainly could afford to do it in a manner that doesn't involve spamming the old one.
if you dont like the mobius forum spam why did you reply to the topic so .... in topic?
Because I don't like it when advertising fails so blatantly. The person who said "there is no such thing as bad advertising" surely didn't see this at work!
It's not advertising in the slightest, Terg, it's just trying to maintain coherency between the two boards before the move. Some topics are being posted on the new forum and some replies are being made to existing topics on the new board which wouldn't be viewable at all on yuku without the posting by Mobius Forum. Sure, you could argue it is advertising in one regard buts it main intention is to maintain discussion between both boards before the eventual move. No need to overeact.
Also I love how my avatar fits my comment #oh so well#~
But it wouldn't be necessary if it weren't for this bizarre obsession with keeping both boards the same. I'll grant it's a clever solution to the problem, but it still looks spammy and/or botty.
Agree'd on how the sync posts look on Yuku. Good idea to ease into the transition, but it reminds me of those ads that some forums have that look like a post but are, well, ads. The only thing I feel that is missing from them is something that says something along the line of "Access these posts and more for 7 easy installments of $39.99!"
Also, relating to my topic eariler, I'm reminded of this skit from Tales of Vesperia (Note that the nonchalant one is dressed like this.)
But wait! Order right now and will thrown in this free Slap-Chop, absolutely free! What are you waiting for? Pick up the phone and order right now!
*points to the signature in the last post* If it wasn't advertising for the new board before, it sure as heck is now.
And if you're paying attention to the move thread in EVC, then it just keeps getting better and better. MobiusForum is Acrio...and unless I'm mistaken, he's porting over posts manually.
The whole board is advertising the... board.
It's supposed to be advertised so people can test it and provide suggestions.
i'm lost with you terg... do you like the new site or not?
I was thinking on if there was a better way to do it, given that there needed to be indication on whethe the posts originated from the new board, but given that fact, there's really not much way to do it without making it look like an ad.
Also thought about how the phpbb posts look in yuku, and seeing that it's all done by hand (more on that later), I'd say it's not all that bad knowing that fact.
Okay, Enough forum politics out of me for now (except the one: pass the popcorn :p )
And this is all being done by hand (probably for free at that)? And here I thought it was done by bot/autosync operation. (Again, disregarding forum politics), props to you, MobiusForum for even doing something like that.
Note to self, avoid posting on forum via cellphone in the future...
thx! 😀
don't like the people in charge of this move, Mada. Look at the EVC topic for more on my proposed solution to this problem.
If people were properly informed of the new board through topics that would open up discussion about the new board, then there wouldn't be a need for someone to manually port posts over (it's clever in some ways, but the fact that someone has enough time to do that and has nothing better to do is a little disturbing too) and "advertise" the new board.
ummmm i dont know about that being creepy for people to hang around the forum all the time, i used to do that when i had nothing to do. it helps pass time, also i think its considerate if i was in charge i'd just close this site completely for 3 days while fixing up the new site and then adding a link to the new site when its done. well that's what most site forums do in other places.
as for not posting a topic for us to disscuss this, i dont know what i'd say the other site looks pretty much like this one. except for yuku chat i have nothing against.
I didn't even know we had moved until I saw the changed layout.
And realized I couldn't log in. Would it have killed someone to send out a warning through email, instead of Yuku mail? I didn't know to check my Yuku inbox until I saw the topic in EVC.
I feel reminded of this drawing by Shadowed Spirit Sage.
The idea of wearing so little when it is so cold out goes beyond "fashion over comfort" and into flat-out "fashion over regard for one's own health" territory. Not that I am even fond of the idea of equating attractiveness with wearing so little in the first place, but even within that something just strikes me as illogical about being so thinly dressed in the cold. To each their own, I guess.
you're forgetting some people's bodies are hotter than others (and i mean hot in temperture).
and some people's bodies are just hotter than others like mada (and i mean hot in deliciousness sexiness)
SURVE
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa you equally deliciousness for that i'll let you see my pic
I wear a t-shirt and jeans whether it's -10C or +30C where i'm collapsed on the floor dying from heatstroke
But that isn't a case of fashion that's just me being a freak
I once went out barefoot in the snow though and boy did i end up regretting that decision! I only lasted around 5 minutes before I was like WELP THIS IS KIND OF PAINFUL I'M GOING INSIDE NOW
ouchie @ barefeet in the snow. bet that felt like nails. well i guess that proves people do things for all sorts of reasons. XD espacially you dear.
