The Last Poster Wins! [v16]

[Chakramaster]

I usually prefer the novacaine myself. It'd tough without it though yeah I've tried it before. I don't like the needles and stuff close to my face either, but I push through it cause I know it needs to be done. Better to get through it than to leave it and have further issues and pain arise.

Well, I just locked a thread for the first time ever. It felt good.

I know the feeling, mate, but for different reasons. I am absolutely terrified of needles. I couldn't stand the thought of one so I got my doctors to not use one. It hurt like nothing else, but those cavities were filled.

In other news, I have made a Broken Sun Post. It's not dead yet!

Eh, needles are no biggie to me. Although for some weird reason, I've been prone to passing out after having blood drawn for blood tests. For me, it's all about just really disliking a limp face.

Also, I need to get back into Broken Sun. I'll see if I can cook up a post tomorrow.

It must feel good. I could've done it back on another site I was part of years ago, but the Staff there sucked at picking new mods. They'd choose someone who just joined the site or someone who was barely active or even someone who had been banned multiple times over someone like me that was active, never banned, and always helped in those particular sections I would apply for. Man that site was good back then, but the staff sucked and near its end it just fell to pieces. It still runs today, but I try to stay far, FAR away from it now.

I may or may not have been waiting all week for people to post so that I wouldn't double post. I figured I'd give everyone a good 5-6 days or so, which included the weekend, and yay! Posting!

PE2K/PXR is the only place where I've been selected as a mod. The people here definitely know how to pick decent mods.

On PE2K, I used to treat a moderator position probably way too seriously to the point where I just became burnt out and too overwhelmed with heaploads of projects and stuff for the forum to take part in. Now, I'm just taking a more relaxed approach and just focus on mainly doing the same stuff I did before, but while keeping a lookout for spambots and stuff. They almost always go after the blog, and since the last blog post thing is right at the bottom of the forum, sniping them out in the open is easy cheesy. I only became a mod a month ago and I've already shot down eight or so spam bots.

Anyway, as for that community you're talking about, eh, join the club. I was on Serebii for a while until they started pushing me around for silly reasons. Not too crazy about the mods there. Well, that's why I'm here and not over there.

Kinda makes me glad in a way GT (Gametrailers was the site I'm talking about) didn't choose me. After the whole site revamp that took away literally everything everyone liked (blogs, factions or private forums, etc). Once they did about 80% of the entire community left, mods, SMods, and some admins included. I wanted to help out before the switch, but now it's......it's just bad.

I've tried serebii before myself. While I wasn't getting pushed around or anything, I did try the trading thread before. Kinda strange what some people want or want you to do.

[Neo Emolga]

Meh, that's a shame. In the same way, I liked the way Newgrounds used to be, and then it became too politically correct. Before, not only did they discourage crappy Flash animations from being uploaded, but the glorified the deletion of them (term they called "Blamming") Now, anything can pretty much make it in and there's no prestige to getting a Flash in that survives. Also, the number of submissions has dropped like a rock in recent years. There used to be around 180 submissions a DAY. Then it dropped to something around 30. In the meantime, unfortunately, it looks like Flash is a dying platform as mobile devices don't support it. Plus, making Flash animations takes FOREVER. Given, the end reward is incredible if you put a lot of time and effort into it, but ugh, be prepared to burn many hours away drawing a gazillion things. Thing is, I think animation will always be this way. I dunno, maybe I'll get back into it, but probably not through Flash.

Serebii... it's hard, because there are regular members there that are pretty cool and nice. Their RP section seems to be dying out, though.

[Chakramaster]

I never ventured into the to section on serebii. I dunno outside of the trading thread I felt like it was a little odd in places. Something kept me away from wanting to post more. Haven't been to the forums there in years now though

[Neo Emolga]

Eh, you haven't missed out on much. The place is less of what it used to be. If they were to ban me, I'd think nothing of it. I've been to way better places.
