  1. I personally dont mind it. Its not like its encouraging children to go and drink. Maybe at best its encouraging that something as simple as drinking some juice or other friendly drink of the sorts can help cheer you up or take your mind off something troubling you.
  2. Couldnt have said it better myself. I have seen a lot of people trying to slide past rules or do things out of context with the rest of the community and they have not had very pleasant results. Now about moderators. I find the moderators are very friendly and do their job well! There is always at least one online and normally one in the chat, which is impresive when there are only 5 and 1 admin. They answer private messages a majority of the time even when they have tons of pm's and have a great knowledge of the websites rules, and server information. Moderators like these is what all forums need. My one downside: when they are in the chat they generally lurk except when they first enter or on occasions. Although i can understand this acts as cover to catch people red-handed at times, it is sometimes a little awkward when you mention said moderator only to find out they arent actually there. (Sometimes) when they are involved in the chat they are very friendly and still enforce the rules well, so this is not a major problem at all. Aside from that these mods are far better than some i know in other places, that never show up, or abuse powers and break rules because they are higher on the scale. I have seen some pretty terribad mods and these mods here are some of the best. Thanks for being awesome!
  3. Wow this is an amazing idea! It could even be turned into a whole weekly news article or video, talking about some of the most eye-catching events and popular fanfics. there are so many things that could be put in here! However if you added a lot of stuff and sections it could make for a lot of work.
  4. That could very easily work. I might be interested in involving myself in those kind of topics. But the final decision is up to feld0, so lets see what he thinks.
  5. Silver looked at the young grey pegasus. "Calm down, there's no need to raise your voice." He looked at her wings. He got a puzzled look on his face and decided to move on to see if he could find some one a little more... suited to his kind of crowd. Nearly fall flat on his face, he approached the magenta-coloured unicorn. "You seem to be handling this calmy. Have you seen yourself?"
  6. Wow i really suck at this. Can't even beat it on easy mode any more.

  7. Going to live stream myself playing TouHou EoSD in a moment. Watch me fail after having not played in so long. :3 http://www.ustream.tv/channel/touhou-eosd-silver

  8. Silver awoke from a what felt like a very long sleep. He let out a yawn, eyes not yet opened, and lay his head back on the ground. However when he did he began noticing things. Where he was sleeping was cold, and hard, not the conditions he remembered going to sleep in. He also noticed he was laying down in a very strange position. His legs were curled up underneath him, and his hands felt hard and tough. He attempted to get up, but upon doing so he nearly fell over again. Fortunately his hooves were able to stop him from hitting the.. He shook his head and looked at what was below him again. They were still there. Two horses hooves. He turned around and looked at himself as best he could. He had been changed into a horse! He had fur the colour of silver, and a very dark-blue tail. but he wasn't just any horse... He moved his hoof up to the top of his head and felt something jutting out. A horn. He was a unicorn. "Well this is interesting..." He said with confusion. He looked around and found many others just like him, only with different colours of fur. Also some had wings like a pegasus and others had horns. He was beginning to wonder if there were any normal horses around here. Or people for that matter. He approached the others and finally said, "Am i the only one feeling something is strange here?"
  9. Interesting. I always liked stories that take place when the mane are older.
  10. Have you had any experience with game coding before? It is very hard to find a free or cheap program that does all the work for you, probably even inpossible. Game development is not an easy task, so i would reccomend doing some research on the programs provided.
  11. Oh gosh yes. Yeeeeees that is epic. :3
  12. Hmm... so when you open it nothing happens. But we can see it. Is it for all spoilers or just ones you make? It could possibly be a feature or setting in the browser. Has it only recently started and have you recently changed anything in the settings.
  13. Got inspired to play TouHou EoSD again. BRING IT ON FLANDRE SCARLET.

    *sigh* i must say i agree with this. I was holding back because i didnt want to discourage you. I really did enjoy everything else though! It was very original and could be really awesome. I think he was being a bit harsh in some ways like with the gramar. Some people just arent good at a language and need a chance to learn it. Its the other things you should focus on right now though.
  17. How do i react? My words: lol they havent seen the show. They dont know the magic. Its real hard to critisize something logically without having watched it first. Those that have? Meh, your opinion and your problem for missing out. Not mine.

    unicorn Silver

    [NOTE: This character was written for the sole purpose of the shifted role-play. I will alter it or add a different back story if i am not accepted.] Name: Silver Arcosta Age: 23 Gender: Male Species: Unicorn Appearance: CutieMark: NOTE: VERY LARGE VERSION AND NOT TRANSPARENT His cutiemark is an arrow with a light-blue shaft, a silver arrow-head and burning feathers. This mark is based on his past. The tip of the arrow represents his peaceful life on earth. The shaft represents his time in Equestria. Meanwhile the flaming end has yet to be discovered. It could prehaps be something that has yet to happen, and could either be catastrophic, or irrelevant. It's tough to truly understand. Personality: Silver is a calm character, who normally wanders and explores living the life of an adventurer. He remains calm in most situations and prefers to keep to himself unless there is something he feels needs to be said. He is fairly blunt at times and for some reasons this is why some dislike him. But he has many other good traits as well. He is caring and reasonable and stands up for what he thinks is right. His name isnt truly silver, moreso a name he gave himself later after he wound up in Equestria. He is an expert strategist, which may be because of living out in the wilderness and fending for himself. BackStory: Silver was raised in a quiet home, which may be why he is quiet himself. Things were always peaceful in his life so he never really had a reason to raise his voice and use his other emotions properly. This may be why he is blunt and shows no major emotion except in extreme situations. He went through his life in school as a quiet character with little to no friends to help him, so he learned to help himself. He is very resourceful, and generally keeps to himself about his life before Equestria. In his forest home he normally refuses to go into the city and lives by himself. Thus he hunts for his food and lives off the land. Skilled with the bow, he generally uses that as his prime weapon of choice in any remotely dangerous situation, whether it's a bear attack, or a simple hunting session. Before he found himself in Equestria he lived on his own in a small home in the wilderness. He never took too kindly to others showing up nearby, but never acted violently towards them. Although he dislikes intrusions and trespassing, he still tries to avoid violence whenever he can. He tries to solve problems resonably and calmly. This also may be affected by his calm and peaceful life when he was younger. He lived in the wilderness shortly after he graduated and moved out. He left for the wilderness because he believed that it was the best place for him. Some place away from the bustle of the city and the unfriendly stares at his dark-green clothing, that seemed to have a certain camouflage pattern to it from being out in forests and exploring deeper. One day however, he discovered something interesting. A strange glowing crack in the middle of the forest. Naturally as an explorer he decided to get a closer look. This was likely his most life changing decision. He could have never predicted where he would find himself. Without a memory of his name, he found himself in Equestria. He gave himself the name Silver for his fur. He still remember his past, but anything mentioning his original name seemed to be blotted out, like a distant dream. Other: This character is some what based off of the Silver from my fanfic, although slightly altered to be less cheap, and comes from a time BEFORE the events of The Tale Of Silver. His story is designed to work with the "Shifted" roleplay. I made this character for whatever role play first accepts me. I plan to attempt to join Ary's role play but if i dont get into that one i will join another. I grew up role-playing with a friend of mine so i have a lot of experience with this kind of thing.

    fan fiction Equestrian Tales

    Holy wall of text batman! Probably the longest thing i have seen! Reading now! :3 EDIT: Woah that was pretty cool. LOL i really liked the Indiana Jones reference. I can almost see his face at that scene. Very interesting story, and very unique. I can definitely see this being expanded on. I must say however i didn't really like the some-what inappropriate joke closer to the end. Not every story needs to have that. :/ LOL cupcakes reference. NOT TODAY PINKIE.
  20. Apple Cider maybe?? .___. I'm pretty sure apple cider is the closest thing to alcohol in MLP.
  21. Very true. While most people that are MLP fans are ceem friendly, the way some reacted to derpy was quite, well... unnecessary. LRP has a point. There is a lot of overreacting in general all around MLP, be it a slight different in opinion, or a simple comment or joke about something.
  22. To an extent yes, it is going too far. I was afraid of having nightmares after reading cupcakes, let alone pink's illustrated version on dA. And now your saying there are VIDEOS?? Honestly. Ugh... and dont even get me started on clopfics. -.- Just the fact that those exist is a horror.
  23. feld0 just told me i dont know what im talking about in the tech and help forum. D: i feel like a moron now. :(

      I didn't mean it that way, sorry. But I just don't see how the vendor of your modem can possibly have anything to do with a failing upload. :-(

      Well different modems are made diferently, thus some dont work as well with some computers as others. E.G. out of date, incompatible etc. Dont feel bad about it. I was trying TOO hard to help. I was also trying really hard to avoid repeating what you said so i wanted to help while still keeping from repeating things and getting my posts deleted.

  24. If you are calm and let your mind only focus on your story even that helps! If you read lots of books, you notice techniques writers use. One notable thing is description. You describe what you want the reader to see and give them an idea of what they are looking at. Writing with a profesional speech type is important too. If you use more profesional words and avoid abreviations thats already improving!
  25. Probably Faygo. Yeah definately Faygo. HoNk hOnK
