CRAP!!!I didn't know that sligslinger AND paramiteabe are both running for Fan Corner! They're both my friends! Now i'm confused!:fuzconf:

VOTE FOR ODDGUY

No Death! Don't leave OWF! I'll miss you! :crying:

Codek 09-07-2003 11:07 PM

Maybe if the OWF wasn't as boring, or as uninteresting as it is, maybe then I would stay on a more permanent "posting" basis.

Abe16 09-07-2003 11:19 PM

I'd like to run mod for fancorner but no one would pick me and I have the least pf friends,Oddling,Zach roy wilson, and Abeguy,OH [please you guys!I'm Desprite!:(

Codek 09-07-2003 11:51 PM

I am retracting any nominations I have made, and abstain from voting. I see no reason for wasting my time voting for MORE mods when we already have enough as it is.

I say this because "apprantly" Alcar and Abe Babe have decided to close off the registering option after the release of Steefs game.

There is hardly going to be a massive inflow of new visitors and users if you turn off the registration. And if there are going to be no new visitors and users then there needs to be no new mods.

But I am going to enjoy watching this forum grind to a halt and die because of too many mods and not enough new people.

And yes, you may take the above paragraph as a suggestion of what will probably happen.

Have you been using a palentheir? :p(See Lord of the Rings)

Check out the "Formulation of New Rules" thread.

And no, I have not been taking anything.

Al the Vykker 09-08-2003 12:35 AM

After reading the topic, I have concluded that was all a joke. This forum would not disconnect itself from new oddworld fans, etc. We have dealt with our share of problems over the past few years, and each time we overcome the problems. These forums arent going to die or crumble anytime soon. Period ----->.

oddguy 09-08-2003 02:24 AM

I don't blame Death for not wanting to be on the OWF. So many people were mean to him and were totally un-welcoming when he first joined and got the rank for Oddlympics. Maybe if more people were nice to him, he would stay! I like you Death!

-oddguy:fuzcool:

Cloverfield 09-08-2003 03:03 AM

*sigh* Yep, people do take things too seriously. The registration close thing was one of Peter's jokes. We have no intention on doing so. Doing that would be pointless.

However if Death wants to leave, he is welcome to. Although I don't like to see people leave, they aren't forced to stay. This is a small forum, so it it could be seen as not as "exciting" as a larger forum to some ... it depends what you like. Plus OWF is always quiet when there's no game info ... not many people join forums for games that aren't being talked about or aren't out. It happened before Munch too. Or one can always create some new topics if they don't like the ones that others create. ;)

Anyway, Jacob responded and declined his nomination, saying to thank the person who nominated him, but he's busy w/ college at the moment.

I'll get together the voting info, and you can start voting soon. :)

Yeah, but I wouldn't blame him. It's a common mistake, as it's kind of difficult to pinpoint sarcasm over the internet. That's one of the problems with forums. Several other members took it seriously, too. That includes Old and Not so Tasty, who I consider to be one of the wittiest and quickest people on here.

oddguy 09-08-2003 03:10 AM

You always address things so proper, Abe babe.:fuzsmile:

I just want to say that I like it here, and I like Death. Death doesn't have to stay, but I would like him to. I would also like him to vote.......for me!:D


-oddguy:fuzcool: Look at the banner, baby!

Cloverfield 09-08-2003 03:10 AM

True, I sometimes can't interpret jokes myself. It's really difficult on the net at times, unless someone puts a LOL or j/k or a ;) after it. If I didn't realize it was a joke (i.e. I know we've never discussed such), then I might have fallen in also.

Abe Babe...

oddguy 09-08-2003 03:21 AM

Yeah, I thought you guys were serious at first and Mac told me that Alcar was just joking.

-oddguy:fuzcool: Have you seen the banner? Obey the banner!

Cloverfield 09-08-2003 03:23 AM

The banner is cool!!! :D I like how you put Abe's Face on there. LOL

Abe Babe...

oddguy 09-08-2003 03:48 AM

Actually, the banner was created by sligslinger. I didn't even ask him, he just did it. He's cool.

-oddguy:fuzcool: Obey the banner!

Alcar 09-08-2003 04:28 AM

Jesus Cripes! It was a joke, that is why I added the sticking-out-tongue smilie (:p). I can't believe people took me seriously.

Anyway, voting has commenced :)

Alcar...

paramiteabe 09-08-2003 10:58 AM

I want to say to everyone who is in the election inspite of myself good luck. Im sure who is ever picked will do a good job. speaking of which (off topic) my story is up and running in Fan Cornor now its an illustraited fanfic in case anyone dident see it already or dident visit the thread yet.:D

Paramiteabe...:fuzblink:

Codek 09-08-2003 11:11 AM

Well so ok it was a joke. I didn't know that. You English have much more complex jokes than the Russians. Not only is it about playing with words but it's about playing with meanings too so it all gets confusing.

So ok it's not closing, I retract my statements. Maybe when steef comes out we will have a more interesting forum right here, and hopefully oddlympics won't be too plagued with newbies that refuse to read rules before posting. :)

Abe16 09-08-2003 01:21 PM

You got my vote oddguy you da man!

You shouldn't be voting for your friends, you should be voting for who you think should make the best moderator. *polishes his campaign badge* That goes to everyone. There was an influx of the use of the word 'friend' back there, is all.

And Petey's Australian, not English. Oh, I can dream, though. Good to know you'll stick around for the Oddlympics whatever. How much longer have we got to anticipate them, now?

Big_Bro_Slig222 09-08-2003 05:17 PM

How do we vote.

Mojo 09-08-2003 05:47 PM

Via E-mail and/or PM. Read the Announcement.

We're shooting for Monday of next week. The site's done, the events are done...we're just polishing it a bit. We want to get it just right.

Abe16 09-08-2003 11:42 PM

Exactly, me and Max don't really get along at all, but I still said I would vote for him. This is because I know that out of everyone who is here, he can do the job best.

This is exactly an example of what not to do. Dont vote for your friends people. Vote for the person who deserves the position, and is the best suited for the job. Dont expect people to vote for you just because you voted for them...Please dont think Im being harsh, I just dont like to see this happen.

Anyways good luck to all those who are running!:fuzsmile:

Ah, ok then... now that you cleared that up... Alcar! Help! Retract my vote and put it for Oddsville!

I knew someone was going to do the same thing in their sig right after I did! ;)

Oh well...let the record show, I created the moving text first.:p:fuzsmile:

-oddguy:fuzcool:

*Has to create one of those scrolling things and fill it all with my Sephy obsessions* LMAO

For some reason that Newsticker thing that Reece had and now Death has plays real havoc with my browser. It comes up with a message to install Microsoft Virtual Machine, and then when I try to install it, it won't let me. And if I cancel the error, it kicks me out of the browser window (but luckily doesn't close IE).

Anyone know why that might be happening?

*goes to unstick this thread now that nominations are over*

Codek 09-11-2003 12:34 PM

Actually, a company called Riada started it, by making a little wizard that could make LED style java tickers. The only website I know of that hosts one of these is www.Aliens.com, the dialup provider. And because I can't be bothered to upload my own .class file I just use theirs. :D

Yep happening to me too, that pop up keeps asking me to install it. But i refuse everytime :p

Alcar 09-12-2003 03:51 AM

Any thread I visit with the Newsticker takes five minutes to load. It also freezes the browser window until that time is up, and then suddenly acts normal.

Alcar...

Forbidden Paradise 09-12-2003 05:39 AM

Actually when I cancel the "Java Virtual Machine" dialogue box, the IE window stays open and I can still see the newstickers. Hmmm....

Oddguy I know, but I didnt care to give him the credit for it.;) Trust me I know my history around here.:) I plan on taking it down for a while, it is good for a little bit but annoys even myself.

oddguy 09-13-2003 03:22 AM

Yeah, I took down my ticker earlier than expected. It was buggin' me and others, so I just got rid of it.
