  1. I thought we weren't powered by vBulletin. Did you have to buy it with Gil back then?

    Yeah, I always check the old coins. On another note, my dad bought a copy of War and Peace that dated back to the time of Hitler! It still has the manual in it, too. We don't know if it's worth something or not, but it's almost 70 years old, according to the book.

    Do you have any other languages? I think it's good enough if you can have a decent conversation with someone without using a dictionary. That would be considered fluency, right?
  2. Haha. An upgrade would be good, but I think it may actually cost money. I think the instability has more to do with the server machine itself and less to do with the vBulletin though. Shiny glowing names would be nice, but if it's like with vB Plaza then EVERYONE will have one (which can be cool or not depending on the person). It'll be like a disco strobe lights... with names! Haha.

    I wonder why they want the coins back. Some conspiracy thing? That's a lot of money to put into a coin...! It'd be nice to strike it rich one day though. >.>

    I've studied Japanese, but I'm nowhere near fluent. Seems like I'm not the only one here who's done it though, which is cool. I was hoping to create a foreign language club, but since I don't actually KNOW a foreign language it may be weird for me to start it. :x
  3. Well, all you gotta do is get adored by the Mods!

    We should upgrade. And maybe get shiny glowing names with it? Just imagine, your name with glowing things around it!^^ I heard we had the Plaza thing back then.

    The governmentstopped minting those because they were spending more on minting them than they were getting off of them, so now if you have a coin from way back then, the government wants it back. of course, they'll pay you. This guy once bought a four dollar frame, and when he looked inside it, he found the original copy of the Constitution or the maybe it was the Declaration of Independence? Anyway, he bought it for four dollars, but the government gave him millions for it.

    You know Japanese?
  4. She says she's just playing with you, by the way.

    Sorry to butt in, I just couldn't tear my eyes away from the Japanese. >_>
  5. I'm not even sure being banned means much nowadays, to be honest. If someone is banned they can usually just sign up under a new account and, provided they keep a low profile, stick around until things blow over. >_> The mods did most of the banning back then though (rather than me), and there wasn't even much banning to do. Not that you have to worry about being banned! =P

    The archives and stuff shouldn't slow down the server, so long as people aren't actively looking through all of it. Various search engine spiders may put a bit of a strain on TFF, but that's the only way we'll get known since it's how we show up in searches. Basically, the server just hiccups here and now and may need to be upgraded.

    ... Who pays that much for a penny?! Some people really have nothing better to do with their money. D: But I guess I should start looking at my penny dates from now on. Strike it rich on a penny...
  6. I've never heard of that phrase before. All I've heard of is, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away."

    You tried to get the people who you didn't want banned to not get banned? I'm voting you for Admin! That is, if my vote counts as anything! I'll never have to worry about getting banned again!^^

    But we already have over 250 pages of archived threads that nobody is deleting. Maybe that's what's causing the forum to slow down and the server to get jammed so often?

    Five times as old as me... Wow... A 1943 copper penny is worth well over 50,000 dollars! And a steel 1944 penny is worth over 100,000 dollars! Too bad mine isn't steel... And the last I checked, my 1944 penny is only worth... 2 cents!
  7. Hmm... vaccines can't cure what you already have, so that's probably impossible. It can prevent thought! "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," and all that.

    I used to try to take warnings off people and stuff actually, hahaha. It was an uphill battle to keep members from being banned who I didn't want banned. I'm not sure I'd even agree with the me from back then though! Weeeeiiiirrrrddd stuff.

    Ohhhh, her! There seem to be a lot of epic boots in Clubs, man. The names are pretty epic too. I'm surprised there's a rule like that though, since Clubs in general isn't all that active... haha. I guess it's just a way to prune everything so the forum isn't cluttered with dead threads.

    I didn't even look on the dates of any of the pennies... hahaha. Are 1943 pennies worth anymore than one cent? Think of it this way though! That 1944 penny is almost exactly 5 times your age! That's pretty amazing...
  8. That's a good question. it's not like the guy was sick to begin with, right? Or maybe he was...

    Too bad you're no longer an Admin, or I could just break the rules and ask you to remove my warnings for me!

    Gemma = Unknown Entity. After the Boot of Fate, it'll be the Boot of Andromeda. You see, according to the club rules that he laid forward, any club that remains inactive for a period of two months will be... vaporized, unless somebody wants to keep it...

    You gathered together 1000 pennies? Look at the dates I had a 1944 penny yesterday, and I found out that it was actually the 1943 penny that was rare. Guess how mad I got?
  9. I wonder how they actually tested to see if it worked, especially if it was only one or two people.

    I remember regulating the mods more than the members themselves! Not that they were bad, but it really helps to have similar opinions as the rest of the staff. We don't have any real ground rules for spam and such even now. >_>

    Ahh, that's explains it... but who's Gemma? =P And will the Council be run by robots after the inevitable Boot of Fate?

    And on yet another unrelated side note, I just managed to put together $10 in pennies. Scrimping for Anime-Expo is tough... I'll be going tomorrow.
  10. My dad told me about that story. Apparently, the guy wanted to test it out, mostly on himself, because he wasn't willing to risk any lives, but his assistant told him to inject it on him, since the doctor guy was so important. And thank God it worked!^^

    Well, you don't sound that much different, but you were enforcing the... law!

    I thought so, yeah. But according to Gemma, she doesn't have Internet from moving back, so she's gotta get that started up. And if two weeks pass and nobody contributes, by my own rule, we're all gonna get kicked out, including myself!
  11. I remember reading that there was a bit of an uproar when the vaccine first came out. The idea of injecting a virus, no matter how weakened, was pretty scary back then too. It worked though, haha. So strange.

    Really? I don't think of myself as TOO different, but it's been a while. Did I seem that unapproachable? I don't read my old posts, haha. Maybe I should go back one day if I can stomach it! >.>

    On an unrelated note, was Kilala supposed to be back earlier? Wondering since the Council is sort of in a state of suspended animation right now.
  12. Well, were lucky we live in a generation where all the vaccine stuff has already been tested. I mean, if they weren't, and i was injected with one of them, who knows what might happen to me. The thought is creepy... -.-

    I saw some of your old threads from when you were an Admin. You sounded completely different than you do now, talking to me.
  13. Hahahaha. You're body is exposed to all sorts of virii all the time. You just don't know it. The stuff in a doctor's office is the last thing to worry about, I think. We don't exactly live in a bubble of pure air. That's why living bodies are so amazing though.

    Thousands?! If TFF had thousands I think we'd be slightly better off. >.> I'm not sure I'm all that infamous though, haha. I think I'm just a bit boring/weird is all! =P
  14. Up until last year, I had no idea that a vaccine was injecting the actual virus into you. My reaction when I found out was, "Are they trying to kill me?"

    There are thousands! Maybe it was because you were an infamous Admin?
  15. Really? For me, the pain usually comes at the beginning and disappears after. After that it's all left up to my imagination to make me feel gross, haha.

    I don't even know who to talk to! Other than you and Hellfire, I mean.
