#1540358 What did you get for Christmas?

Posted by Juturna on 24 December 2011 - 11:45 PM

I got a cute ficlet from my friend. Seriously. best thing ever. There are indeed some things money can't buy, such as OTP fanfiction. Which, believe me, can make me much happier than pretty much anything right now. ^^;

What is meant by the music theme? Isit music in general or like your favourite band or genre?


Whatever you associate with music, I guess. Which can mean your favorite band/artist, or genre. It's really up to you. c:

#1508511 Back to School!

Posted by Juturna on 09 September 2011 - 05:10 PM

Got Schedule + Schoolwork. herpderp.
Blegh. This schedule confuses me. So, my classes that I know I have everyday say M1, T1,W1 in the meet days Column. But the problem lies with art. I have a class thngy that I was supposed to take every monday/tuesday (Well just one day of the week, not sure what it is, since I haven't been there to figure that out yet) And art every day I don't take that. (Art: M1, W1, R1; Otherclass: T1, T2; Which looks like that would be Tuesday and Thursday. But I'm only supposed to take it one day, and art all the others. Plus R1 isn't really abbreviation for Friday, sooo)

1: Biology
2: Phy Ed
3: Spanish (Which oddly, looks like the only thing I lack homework on. D:)
4: American History
Lunch
5: Language Arts 10
6 Geometry
7: Studio Art/other class.

I'm excited. /sarcasm


#1506775 SOTW #14 VOTING!!!!!

Posted by Juturna on 04 September 2011 - 02:58 PM

Number 11 is still doing poorly. Oh gosh. this upsets me. it's just a nice signature. =/

I'm going to get things thrown at my head. But I've been holding this in for too long, so idgaf. *braces shield*

I'm looking at the vote distributions and really? I can understand #5 and #7 being up there because they're good and you can tell that the artist put work into them.I also see #10 being up there because it's simple, eye-catching, and it's a decent example of vector art (my personal favorite).
But like #3 is just a .gif taken from PandF when Candice touches the hallucinogenic moss with text over it. Yet people are voting for it.I was going to submit an entry next week, but clearly since no one really votes fairly and pretty much votes for their friends (let's not bullsh*t here, guys. I honestly don't believe people would unbiasedly pick some of these over others) or vote as a joke, I'm probably not going to.
It's also a huge insult to people who actually put in effort on their submissions.
I'm looking at last week's competition and really... "green skorcheio".

Having been a graphics nerd, and being anti-social here, this is always my problem. =/ I agree 98%, except you forgot to mention 11 as a decent entry. I always find nothing funny about the 'humorous ones. They're a joke between the members, which I'm fine with. But - why. Just why. /facepalm. It's terribly made, not funny.

and pretty much votes for their friends (let's not bullsh*t here, guys. I honestly don't believe people would unbiasedly pick some of these over others) or vote as a joke, I'm probably not going to.


Also, considering the humour/cleverness factor, apparently the green scorchio was made by a veteran member/one who knows the humour, it's practically impossible for a n00b like me to win, because I don't know what you guys find clever/humourous. Unless I come out with something that's completely amazing. (which is nope.jpg), there is absolutely no chance of me winning, simply because I don't have social footing here.


It's also a huge insult to people who actually put in effort on their submissions.

I couldn't agree more. Normally, when I enter something, the most votes I get is 3 on average. >__>

in fact i prefer simple yet stylish sigs over complicated ones


Complicated =/= talent.
simple =/= no talent.
In fact, once you get into digital graphics, you'll find overly complicated/filled to the brim visually things, usually don't look as great as simply put things. It does take a lot of time to learn how to arrange things simply, but that they shine. I've been at this for a year, and I'm still not able to do this. You can have 2093842934 layers in photoshop, but the outcome can look pure and simple.
(Indeed random, but I wanted to say that)


I should inform you that you need to get a sense of humor quick, otherwise you won't enjoy yourself here


Good luck with that. /notfunny


There should be a better set of guidelines for the SOTW. The rules are too loose as it is. About half of the "signatures" up there are too big to even be called signatures inthe first place.

600x250 should be the absolute maximum. Just sayin'



But really. Whatever floats your boat. I'm not going to really be a jerk about it, because it's not worth my time. /steps off soap box


#1495430 Why do people get silenced?

Posted by Juturna on 03 August 2011 - 07:22 AM

Once I got warned for telling someone (via neomail) I just came from a funeral,

Not mentioning the word "party".

Posted Image

I mean seriously, do they expect everything to be rainbows and butterflies? To only discuss neopets? If that were the case, I'd suggest putting it an already scripted-chat that limits you to pre-approved phases.

Also, the party one is really stupid. Party doesn't always mean drugs. It simply means a special time that's supposed to be happy. It's really stupid it would be in the filter. =/

it really bothers me that they can read your private correspondence...

From what I've heard, I think there are certain words that autosilence people. And that the filters that pick up said words are overly sensitive.

I suggest A: They don't go in there unless for a reason, such as being reported and B: Look into it if the filter picks something up, and see if the person had bad intentions before silencing them.

And I've heard they don't really unsilence people a lot so that's just stupid as all hell. If they did something bad enough to deserve to be permanently silenced, they might as well just froze them.


#1484429 All Drugs Should be Legalized

Posted by Juturna on 12 July 2011 - 06:55 PM

You guys really make big... posts. @.@ In that case, I'm going to shorten my opinion, which was short in the first place. I've read most of the posts, and agree with most of the legalize drugs points.

Yes. Do it. Please. Honestly, I've never met a person who does drugs. (Well at least my awareness that they did it. Of course I've met somebody who's done them, but you get the point) But, imho, there's a better way to get people to stop using them than to illegalize them. I know there's a lot of factors in why people use drugs, and it's very complicated, but trying to scare people away from them with 'your life will be ruined' and 'your skeleton will lie in the prison forever' really doesn't help. Sure, it stops scaredy cat idiots like me from doing anything, but those without that fear, are not even going to pay attention to attention it, and do it anyways.

Although I really really like the law, and the effect Portugal put in, not legalizing them, but not straight out punishing them either.

This was probably really stupid for a debate post. Feel free to ignore this.
