[size=1]Now, I guess. I should definatelly change that whole closing time thing to a time that actually relates to myself and I don't have to wake up for in the middle of the night. Nice enthusiasm peeps. By the way, Jeremiah, your banner exceeds the official banner limit. But nyeigh, you have a joker because of the title medal. I think I'll increase the size restrictions anyway. [/size]

[size=1]My avatar proves to the world that I am a born ninja sidekick and that saiyanprincessx (who made it) is awesome. The user title is quoted from Allomorph, to help remind people that I am Dutch. Not Suomi or something alike... I don't remember why I am sneaky though, you might want to ask him. And coolpoints to anyone who can say what the banner is, pretty exactly (versions and all).[/size]

[size=1]I think in the bottom left corner you might be able to find that the artist is Animetayl. So, I threw the name in google and the first thing it came up with was a deviantart.com page that I believe is of the same artist: [url=http://animetayl.deviantart.com/][b]Animetayl.deviantart.com[/b][/url] The corners are always good places to start looking for the original artists of art. :) They will surely know more of what material and things the outfit consists of![/size]

[size=1]Yeah, voting is still kind of open. I will close this thread tomorrow sometime and post up the hall of fame stuff and get a new one up.[/size]

[size=1]The plan was to break the record, but the record is not even a reasonable number at the moment. It would be pointless to try and break this. So, it is probably a better idea to reschedule this whole thing, with more planning ahead of stuff. (A bunch of people posting in a thread is not planning) The idea is fun anyway, so a remake would be a good thing. It might be best to first make sure the counter is back to something matchable, though, and then announce the thing in a bigger way than just a thread somewhere. Besides, did anyone even speak to Adam and get a reply? Was that not part of the big plan?[/size]

[size=1]I hope they didn't use the paper beforehand?[/size]

[size=1]Hello's Eclipsed Dreamer/Lunar. I doubt that after the 4½ years that Muad'dib posted this thread up to request the avatar, he is still looking for that avatar. According to OtakuBoards' rules, it is not allowed to post in threads that are beyond two pages in the board history. Please don't do that again, because it's sort of useless. :whoops: Besides, you have been around for a few months now, and I thought you would have known by now. Thank you.[/size]

[size=1]Is it just me or is this now just Caturday but then that people think of member names to put above the pictures? :whoops:[/size]

[size=1]Or we massively start posting about things that people and google bots care about on one day. :][/size]

[size=1]That is funny that you mention it, because a podcast I listen to addictively has just started a fundraising for a children's hospital that handles cancer. The fundraising will be a 24 hour game marathon and the participants should get sponsors for every hour. Or well, click the signature for info. The idea is a bit odd, but I liked it anyway. Marathons of anything work pretty well a lot of the time. I guess the best go for the books is to just go by people's houses and ask them for books, really. Or maybe the libraries near you have some left overs that they would share. You can take jackets and bags for a little bit of money, which should also give some profit if you can make a system so that it actually works with finding the stuff back and making sure things do not get stolen and all.[/size]

[size=1]Stink fruit or Durian from Asia somewhere. I got a little sausage shaped wrapped thing in a birthday pack last year and it included this stuff. It does not only reek like mad, but it tastes even worse. It seriously, sincerely, is one of the most horrible things I can imagine to eat again. You might find it in a toko near you. For the rest I just can not eat sellery. It is my arch nemesis. I can pretty much eat any other food on the planet though, apart from those two. ... [b]update:[/b] And apart from the combination of apricot jam and aspirin.[/size]

[size=1]I will just pretend that I did this on purpose and I wanted people to post their votes (I can count like a monster) this time, until I see how to fix the poll. :][/size]

[quote name='Aaryanna'][COLOR="DarkGreen"][FONT="Book Antiqua"]You won't get any argument from me. We have lots and lots of silly people living here. [B]._.[/B] Since you put in that context/setting I'll agree.[/FONT][/COLOR][/QUOTE][size=1]I don't want an argument, I just want love. ;_;[/size]

[size=1]In the end, America is pretty much crowded with extremists of both sides. One side will always remain ignorant and silly about anything other than what the bible says. The other side will always remain ignorant and silly about anything religious, casting it away afraid of being brainwashed or whatever else. So like I said: [i]In the end[/i], that's a lot of silly people. So, point made is that saying American people are silly is at least as dead on as saying religious people are silly. Both being, well... not quite dead on, but very easy remarks to make nonetheless, based on experience. Besides, "[font=times][size=2]it is not fun to make remarks about "religous people". It is fun to make remarks about Catholics, Protestants, Jews, Muslims, Jehova's Witnesses, et cetera. At the same time it is fun to make jokes about Germans, Belgians, Frenchmen, [b]Americans[/b], Eastern European people, et cetera.[/size][/font]" ~ Saint Boo II chapter 11 verse 3[/size]
