These places get destroyed awful fast by you rowdy people... tongue.gif

QUOTE(minque)
This is meant to be a place where you can talk about anything without having to stay on topic. Feel free to ask questions, to talk about the things in your life you like to share with your fellow-members. Or just step inside for a while, have a coffe and a good chat!
You may feel free to post whatever you like as long as it is within the rules of the forum.
But if the conversation degrades to spam, you will be treated as though you are spamming anywhere else on the forum. This is a thread where you can relax and talk about personal things, but it is not to be used as an excuse to make pointless posts.
Please help to keep this alive and well and a place where we can meet and share.
Enjoy your stay here!!!


QUOTE(Alexander)
We had intended the coffee shop to be a nice place where people could talk about their daily activities and such, kinda like the Lurkers Lair on the Official Forums.
It didn't quite turn out that way though, people have been taking advantage of their freedoms in here, there has been a lot of spamming and even some flaming. We will not tolerate that any longer.
So unfortunately we've had to decide to increase the rules for this thread. Of course the normal forum rules still apply, but we'll elaborate here.:
1. No spamming.
We consider double posting and posting posts with only a few words to be spam. If you do that your post will be deleter or moved, do it too often and you might receive a warning for it.
We also consider chit-chat spam. This forum has a special chat channel for chatting, you're welcome to go there, and chat with other members or with the staff as we're always there, doing it in here is not allowed.
The address to that chatroom is:
W4O chat
And for assistence to use a chat like this, I recommend looking over this thread:
http://chorrol.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=248
Or contacting one of the Administrators.
2. No discussion of accounts or warnings.
There shall be no more discussion about members, about accounts, about how many warnings you've gotten or anything like that.
3. No trolling.
No posting of random nonsense, no posting of irrelevant things, no posting the same thing over and over just to get it noticed, no swearing or flaming.
4. No religion or politics.
No discussion about religion or politics is to be had in these threads. If you want to discuss religion or politics, please do make another thread, or if another such thread already exists, please post in it.
If you have a question about the rules of the forums, feel free to ask it to either a Global Moderator or an Administrator.
If you're unsure if something is fit to post here, it might be. Again best to ask a Global Moderator or Administrator.
If you're wondering how we think a Lair or the Coffee Shop should look like, what we do allow, then I recommend taking a look at the Lurkers Lair at the Official Forums.

And WHO is watching E3 ?????

I am. And am I the only one who finds the fact that, aside from The Last of Us and Dishonoured, every new game announced there is a sequel is slightly depressing? Is the gaming industry really so stuck in a rut that we can only find original IPs with indie developers and that everything else has a subtitle or a 3 stuck behind its main title (and in the case of Call of Duty, ten jillionty-five)?

I've noticed the same thing in both the music and movie genres too, and agree heartily that there is a vast opening for anyone with a creative mind that can think up something totally new/different/unique that will break into ground that hasn't been walked to death and shake up the entertainment industry - a new sound, a new theme, new ideas - stimulate a creative boom. It is definitely needed.

I guess they think true art is angsty... or they don't feel like taking risks and straying from their moneymaking formula.

They don't have to stray from it, they could have the developers that always work on that franchise continue what they do. Hold an open contest for creative new game ideas and give the best one a bonus, sort of like Bethesda did with that "Jam" - it came out with some awesome ideas.

I believe that the problem is that the same capital sources that once brought us formulaic movies has moved to the game industry and applied the same logic there. You can have the bold new ideas, but they won't be funded.

I can't say it any better than Acadian did here, so I'll just say "Ditto" to his comment. You are always missed and/or worried about, so if you don't tell us something we'll begin to imagine all kinds of things (dire or otherwise), lol. <333

My best friend moved away today. She lived down the street for the last eleven years. There are hopeful things to say about visits and keeping in touch, but we both know what our lives are like. We’re going to lose each other.

I know there are folks I love all around me, and some who want more attention than I’ve been able to give. I’m not worried about loneliness. It’s just that there won’t be anyone new like her. No matter who comes along, those times have passed.

So, anyway. kvleft.gif

sad.gif Been through this, but I was the one that moved. The result was the same, though. Best friends are hard to come by, and all the long distance calls or what infrequent visits we could muster between us could never bring us back to the time when we were able to just be. Miles between do make a difference, and it isn't like you can find another friendship as perfect as the one you lost. My sympathy to both of you.

Sorry to hear that, Grits. sad.gif Hope you manage to keep in touch, but I know that it can be pretty hard to do so over a long distance, even with the Internet knocking about nowadays.

In other news, just sent a sample of a short story off to a publisher. I'm now very, very nervous about whether or not I'll hear back from them...

Good luck with that Mustard.

Just thought I'd stick my head in to say hi and sorry for the extended absence. I've been busy moving house, preparing to graduate tomorrow, going on holiday (which was brilliant) and don't have an internet connection (and won't until mid July by which time I may not be in the country). It's odd being without a connection, particularly in a flat which is a bit of a timewarp already...

But I'll be back at some point, and with more written I should imagine.

Thanks you two, and congratulation on graduating, Olen! Hope all goes well with your moving.

On a related note, my exams have finally come to a close; I had the rather alien experience of an entirely free day where I was obligated to do nothing yesterday, and so just pratted around playing Xbox and doing a bit of writing.

Wierd, wierd day indeed.

Congrats on graduating. I finished the new student conferences yesterday. I can't imagine what class registration was like before computers. It's overwhelming enough with a realtime attendance counter.

7 weeks of freedom before O-Week.

Hope to hear from you soon, Olen. smile.gif
