Yeah, that's one of the disadvantages of getting older.
But I do have some vague idea of what I'm doing in four, five months. Although it helps very little, since I know that I'm going to be going to college. And then obviously will have no money -.-

Yeah, I like to think that it did help people in need of language help.

Just a quick question: When did you get "thanks"?

I know all about having no money as a uni student! What will you be studying?

It was about a month or so ago now. It was for this, the Jam Session and the Recipe Book thread. I'm very lucky to have it, I don't think I've done anything spectacular to deserve it.

Without whishing to sound like I am self promoting

My Pimppeter2 Invades France [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.164984?page=1] thread. Mostly because its just a story of the forums and the people in it.

But I love self plugs!... But I seem to recall not being mentioned in it, so no way, hahahah!

Don't worry, I will add it tomorrow. Right now I'm busy getting ready to hit the town. Apparently my friends who I'm going out with tonight want to set me up with this girl that's coming along for no reason other than she and I are both very loud people. (Shrugs) weird I know.

Can I make a request?

Trivun's The Escapist Wallpaper Commision Thread [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.168645?page=1] An area to request or show off the design of custom wallpapers to the community.

This one was also requested a while back by DH but it was whilst you weren't visiting the site, so I think another request may be in order.

Your new avatar scares me. A lot.

Your new avatar scares me. A lot.

Sorry about that. I've been wanting to change it for a while (Rorschach was getting kinda boring by this point) and I thought now would probably be a good time to do so. And out of all the pictures I had found for potential avatars, this was the one I liked the most and could see myself having as an avatar the most.

If enough people tell me to switch back to Rorschach then I'll switch back. Saying that, though, I do have quite a few potential avatars, so I may be changing it and experimenting over time anyway.

Also, Ratings War IV has now actually started.

Hahaha! I'm still scared by it!

Does that mean I need to update the thread to include that? I'm a little behind on the forum section (meaning I have no clue because I never go in there).

Neonbob thinks it's weird too. I find the eyes are a little distracting as well, to be honest. Still, I prefer it to my old avatar.

EDIT: I've got a new one to try out for now. Only issue is that this one may be scarier.

Well, you said something [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.106553-The-Escapist-Members-Community-Thread?page=7#4259237] about changing it to the new Ratings War a while back but you didn't get round to it. Seeing as the new one has started now, I think it would be best to change it now.

EDIT: Pimppeter2 has made a new Review Wars [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/326.172133-REVIEW-WARS-II-First-event-being-scheduled-Spots-open-till-Monday-Sign-up] thread, since the old one died after Newclassic's Tome of the Aincients competition.

That post is over a month old, hahaha! But I shall still update it.... now.

How 'bout TIEM Version #2: The_Root_Of_All_Evil on the list?

It's good to see another one of those up. I'm on the list to be interviewed, although I suspect it'll take a good many months to get around to me. Consider it done.

And once again, thankyou for the constant ideas. I'm not exploring this site as fully as I used to, so it's great to have some members who keep things like this updated.

I didn't realise my thread had been added to the list until just now, I didn't think it was that important . Thanks Inverse!

Not really me you should thank, it's the contributions of others that make this thread a success. I just do the admin work!

I really think this should be stickied. I know we have the community map, but this is so much more comprehensive.

Bump.

It was YOU!

/Egoboost.

 

[Zombie_Fish]

It was YOU!

/Egoboost.

Indeed it was.

You're right, though. The community map is rather out of date - the suggestions/complaints thread is now 404'd, and it really needs to include user groups for the game community section. But I suppose the biggest problem with it is that no one reads it. Being stuck for almost two years and having only recently received its ten thousandth view doesn't exactly reflect well on it...

I've contacted wilson about removing the Suggestions/ Complaints thread from the Community Map in the past to no response and no change to the map. As much as I agree with what you're saying, I don't see it happening, similarly with the gaming tournament threads listed in it, seeing as [user]Danny Ocean[/user] said he would murder anyone who necroed one of those threads.

I do agree with this thread being more comprehensive but having it stickied because of the other major issue you mentioned with the Community Map does assume that it doesn't fall into the same problem as the Community Map has about a lack of views.

Like you said, just bookmark this thread if you really want to keep an eye on it.

Unfortunately, [user]Inverse Skies[/user] hasn't posted here since late February and hasn't updated the thread since a similar time. This hasn't been the first time he's left the forums for a few months, though and he was last active yesterday, so there is still hope for the future of this thread.
