  1. Happy birthday Colin! I don't get to see you as often anymore because time zones suck. Have a fantastic day though, and I hope to see you on the server soon!
  2. What a fucking day.

      It sounds like it. Sorry things have been shitty :c

  3. ...just this once, I'm going to allow myself to break the golden rule and give the trombonist some attention. Here's hoping I don't die from doing so. Hunter. Oh dear lord, where do I start? We've definitely had our fair share of arguments, which more often than not involve me screwing up in some way and you forgiving me for my lack of insight. Sometimes we talk everyday for hours at a time, other times it's weeks before we speak again. In case it wasn't abundantly clear from the oodles of laughter that we both shared in PMs, I found the days of our server marriage to be some of my best memories on Reborn. You also put up with my e-hugs on the server, despite really disliking hugs. Thank you for being such a fantastic friend. I'm immensely glad I've gotten to know you, and am still of the firm opinion that you should "drive to New Orleans on a whim" one day. Happy 2 years, and here's to many more!
  4. From what I know of you, you're a fabulous person Ama. Happy 1 year and here's to more!
  5. *pokes Numbers thread curiously* What does this button do?
  6. Alright Nin, follow me because I'm going to hit on all of these points and work to clarify as best as I can. 1) I believe necroing should be alright. Sometimes a topic is just shoved pages behind, and if it's revived it'll be active again (aside from the reviving post) -- For the record, Pokemon Reborn operates under the believe that posting in a thread that has had no activity in over two months is what counts as necroposting. Many threads will have run the topic of discussion by this point, or the information presented within them will have become outdated and replaced with something new that has its own thread. There are certain exceptions to this, and they are detailed in both "Good" Thread Revival Vs. Necroposting and The Way of the Bump & How to Do So. The tl;dr is that should you be entering a thread with new knowledge that hasn't previously been stated before in there, it's ok to revive the thread with that information; otherwise, should you just be looking for help, it's in your best interest to create a new thread. 2) I know a forum that locked threads when they hit the 30 day mark, and then within a week or two the thread was gone (probably moved to some cache or something, I'm not sure if you can delete threads) -- Many times when a thread officially crosses the threshhold for necroposting, it's already several pages back as is. Coupling this with the well known fact that the moderators are managing their real lives in addition to managing active threads, it's asking quite a bit of them to actively search for threads that have had no activity for two months and lock them in addition to everything else that they do. While an autolock system is an interesting idea, there are the exception threads listed in the answer to number 1 that would suffer from this as well. In addition, many of the subforums here have a "directory", in which a list of threads that are useful to the viewer are listed, as well as threads that you will not be warned for necroposting in. 3) Another forum was extremely organized, and moved threads that were inactive or just old news into this archive section, actually many of the sections had an archive. -- While this could be applicable, the answer to number 2 is still an issue here, as moderators that are already monitoring active threads would have to sift through other threads to find specifically which threads need to be moved. From there, you get into the numerous discussion that would occur amongst the entire auth team, debating the merits of various threads and whether or not said thread should be moved or not. Currently, the page system that we have works as a type of archive as is. Anything on the first page of a subforum is almost certainly safe to post on. The second page is typically where a user should begin to be cautious of what they want to respond to. From the third page onward is typically where you enter the point where responding is almost certainly necroposting. Of course there are exceptions to this, but that's a very general idea as to how this system works. 4) I think locking would be the best preventative measure, and an archive or something would also be a good idea. -- I've kind of addressed this in my previous answers. However, I will bring this up in our next staff meeting for good measure to make sure the other auth are aware of this as a viable idea to help improve forum experience for users in the future, should we find ourselves able to implement such a system.

      Is that a Sci-Fi Sigh or a Hi-Sigh Sigh?

      Sighs can be used to offer a melancholy salutations, or to express submission to some major social issue. Which is it, then?!

  9. Ah, no one can save you now, for it is I, Mistress of Resets
  10. You're a fantastic person, Ben, and don't you forget it. I'm glad to be able to call you a friend, and I enjoy the conversations that we have. Congrats on 1000 posts, here's to many more
  11. . . . For my own curiosity, why do you want to revive point of Reborn history?
  12. Hi friend, if you edit your original post, and then go to the full editor, you'll be able to change the title of your thread. Hope this helps, contact anyone on the Staff List if you need further assistance.
  13. We have a thread for all things Sun and Moon; this thread is being locked.
  14. We have been through quite a bit together on the server. There's been PokeNations (Apophyll for life, right?) and PZA (seriously sorry for thinking you were the spy :/ ). We've played Sm4sh together as well, and you've kicked my ass at that easily. Plus, when the backchannel activity slowed to a stop, you and Sparks were, for the longest time, the only patrons that cared enough to continue visiting my garden, which made me pretty happy. We might not talk a lot anymore (not to mention I rarely see you on the server at that), but I still consider you to be an amazing and awesome person. Have a fabulous birthday and kick some ass in LC for me c:
  15. Hi Reborn! Billy Mays Rosesong here with an important offer! Have you ever felt that the topic in main is something you have no interest in whatsoever? Have you ever felt like you want to talk to multiple people, but the quick moving pace of the chat makes that nearly impossible? Are Skype, Discord, and other text based programs too big a hassle for you to use (or do you just not like them, because I totally feel you there)? Have you ever wanted a back channel that you and your friends can escape to, but are lacking in the necessary $R? If you answered yes to any of those questions, then I am talking to YOU. Recently, it has been discovered by the auth team that a solution to all of these problems has existed right under our noses. What is this magical command, you ask? It's called /makegroupchat, and here's what it does. In any room on the Showdown server, type /makegroupchat [groupname] into the chat. From there, you'll be magically transported into your very own personal and totally secret group chat! This room only expires after 40 minutes of inactivity or on a server restart. Once you've made this group chat, you can invite people by typing /invite [username], or by typing <<groupchat-username-roomid>> in other rooms or PMs (this information will be shown within the group chat when you first create it). That's all you have to do; there are no strings attached and it's FREE. We hope that by doing this, we are opening more ways for you to be able to talk with your friends, as well as escape topics that you may personally deem to be unsavory in the main chat. This is also an alternative to the 'Create Showdown Room' item, in that this allows you to have a temporary room of your own, complete with Room Owner perks, commands, and a fancy # in front of your name (you can find those commands here).
  16. Rest in peace New Orleans Saint #91, Will Smith. Our entire community mourns for you in this needless murder...

      I just read up on this...

      just... why?

      This guy crashed his car into Smiths and then he shoots him, after Smith gets (rightfully) angry at him?

      AMERICA THIS IS WHY YOU NEED GUN CONTROL!

      EDIT: Nvm, got it. Thought it was the actor at first...still terrible, though. My condolences to the bereaved.

  17. Notus, I'm so glad I get to keep in touch with you as you endeavor forward in school. You're without a doubt one of my closest friends here, having met in King of the Hill in Onyx Arcade before moving to Under the Hill in the RP section. You're a clever guy with absolutely amazing musical taste. Thank you for the numerous battles that we've had; it's always so much fun to battle you because you force me to think and improve. Unfortunately, the kids here don't get to know you well because of how busy you are. However, whenever you come on the server, you all should definitely get to know this guy, because he is without a doubt one of the kindest and most caring people you could ever meet! Happy birthday friend, have a fantastic day! Now to get you the link so that I know you see this...
  18. I guess we won't be seeing that interview with Celeste anytime soon :x
  19. Oh. My. God. Today I found out that I went to elementary school with one of my high schoolers that was held back a couple years.
