We need more female representation!

[Incognitus]

Seriously.

What's wrong with us?

Unless I am miscounting, Mina and Tif (WITH ONE F) complete the list of members who are decidedly female. That's a grand total of... a couple. Two. 2. Zwei. II. Deux. A twosome. Dos. Duo. A pair of deuces. Not many. A few.

Am I missing any females who may be in attendance? Any people who think they are females? Any who are not sure?

So I had this crazy idea. Let's recruit this girl. She has two Fs in her name. Just a thought.

(Yes, I know her. Well I don't know her, but I know of her.)

[Victoria]

I can be a girl on the internet if you want me to!~ =D
I mean, I already am one on Second Life. >.>;

*cough* And I don't know if Tiff would join or not. She's not too active on TFF I don't think.

[Incognitus]

I spoke with her about it. She seems fine with it. But I am putting it to a majority opinion rather than having Cesar simply give her the access. She doesn't post much anymore, but she may in this forum. Look at my activity outside of this forum... I think I've posted more times in here in the past week or so than I have in the public forums for the past several years.

My point is, we need more females, damnit!

[Keisuke Takahashi]

We're gonna need an RL photo for girls to join..

and they need to be Asian.

lmao...

[Victoria]

Haha, if she says it's okay, then I say let her in. ^^

[Incognitus]

She is not Asian. She is, however, a hot Canadian, and that's the next best thing.

[Keisuke Takahashi]

Aww.. lol I thought we were going to monopolize the Asian population here at TFF. haha

[Incognitus]

No, this will not be a monopoly on any demographic, but we can have a all-out war against a demographic if you want.

I would like to wage war on the giant ants that fester within the nether regions of this planet, consuming our precious magma for their own gluttonous intentions. Soon they will learn the concept of direction, burrow upwards, and wage a war on our primitive society. Before that happens, please provide me the funds for a gigantic drill and a large supply of toxic shrooms. Our world depends on this! And yes, let her in.

I'm with S. Those ants scare me I also think that Tiffany is a cool girl, and I vote her in.

Speaking of females... what about this one? She's pretty cool too, in my estimation. Anyhoo...

Wuv, Yer Mom

[Victoria]

Heh. She may be sexy and my friend, but I want to say no.

Otherwise she'd be nearly everywhere I am in the TFF world. I just don't know what it is, but sometimes I can't stand her. =\

Oh well. I say no, but if she gets in, it's also no big deal with me. It's not like I'll be all "zomg nooo!1"

Eh.

[SOLDIER #819]

If I say yes, does that mean I propose a certain friend of mine get in? He used to come to TFF, but uh...It got boring. I'm sure Kazzy knows of him...? Iced? Evil Dragoon? I've been meaning to ask, but since we're not going to be completely original...

And I don't mind if you guys want to let her in.

[Victoria]

! ED! I remember Ed! He was cool!
Definitely let Ed in. I remember I used to call him Ed. XD

[Chickenballz]

What about Mel, Ally, or Dan? Course, I don't even talk to them anymore (hell, they've seemed to have bounced like most of us) but aren't they all dreamy? Like that Dan, I'd rape his latino ass.

But more importantly, I second Heero's idea. PIXXX PLZ.

[Incognitus]

I told her I wouldn't post pictures of her in here, but if she were to join, she may post pictures herself.

[Victoria]

I think she's had pictures in the PYP thread, no?
Or am I just thinking of her xanga...

[Korova]

Well we've traditionally had 4 females in here. TFF is pretty male-sided so we may have a higher ratio of females in here

[Tifa]

I can always harass my cousin to come back. Lolz.

[Sundance]

Females are mean, I don't want any more of them.

[LocoColt04]

And what of Sarah? I can still harass her into posting. Or hell, Korova can too.

KOROVA! THE TIME IS NOW!



As for Tiffany, she's definitely a hot Canadian, eh?

[Keisuke Takahashi]

Iono mang.. this whole recruiting thing is getting out of hand, be it female or male, you know? We're a select group of members here that have seen their time at TFF... generally speaking, we're OGs here. Maybe this is just me speaking but I don't think we should be just like letting everyone we think is cool in, I mean what's the difference of us posting here, instead of there on the main forum then? It doesn't make us "special" anymore.. and isn't that what the entire point is here?

We're EBG. Not TFF2 where we have to be friendly with everyone to get along or have a high post count or gil and buy shit for people.. unless we're bribing an admin to let them join. but yeah lol. You're pretty much picking what. the "new" popular people now to come join us? More or less.. iono whoe these people be.. lol Hmm...

[Korova]

yeah, i came back to talk to old friends and possibly some new ones, but if this grows too much, i may become a lurker...

[Victoria]

Heh. Yeah. Although I'm still somewhat 'new'. =P
Tiffany isn't new either, really. Chez is. ED is not. So.. take that how you will.

Edit: EBG shouldn't grow to be TFF2 size. It's supposed to stay a small group of OGs or what have you. So yes, possibly Sarah and ED, seeing as Sarah is originally in the EBG anyway.

[Keisuke Takahashi]

Well iono wtf they are, maybe if I had their original name they signed up with? I think I remember Ed though.. =T iono whatever.. but that's just what I was thinking. but then again how often do people listen to what I think, nor care? lol...

[Incognitus]

Inversely, the fewer people who post, the more likely I am to lurk or simply not care about posting at all.

Obviously not everyone under The Sun™ should have access here, but a few more couldn't hurt. It doesn't matter who they are as long as they are sane enough to control their insanity. If you have objections, or if you have other members in mind, that's fine with me. That's the reason why I brought this up in a thread rather than simply singling out members for access.

Tiffany is the only other person, apart from Gooku and True Omega, that I still talk to on a regular basis from internet forums. True Omega is in the middle of moving into a new house with his wife, and they do not have internet as of yet, which is why you haven't seen him around. He may never post here again... I'm not even sure. And S is already here posting. Mainly the new "blood" is to help prevent this EBG revival attempt from going down the gutter like the last one. Admittedly there is more of a concentrated effort to post here than the last time this was tried, but in a few weeks, who knows.

Except for Sundance, whose vendetta against women knows no bounds, your objections are noted.

[SOLDIER #819]

What I'm worried about is that we're going to end up branching off like a tree in terms of member recruitment (friend, friend of a friend, friend of a friend of a friend, etc.). It made more sense to recruit and recruit when we were in competition (in either of the two instances), but I'm guessing a lot of people just view this as a reunion with good old friends. I think we need more members, just not too many. It's just that once you include one person, it's hard to say "no" to another. =\ I held off on pushing for ED/Iced to join because I didn't want recruitment methods to seem hypocritical (though I was very much under the impression that SOLDIER was coming back, and didn't want to step on anyone's toes anyway). So...I'm at a loss.

[LocoColt04]

(though I was very much under the impression that SOLDIER was coming back, and didn't want to step on anyone's toes anyway).

I've got no intention of trying to bring SOLDIER back again. If Psychosyd wants to try it when he gets back in the country (just a few more months, at that), then he's welcome to do so... but I'm the ONLY remaining SOLDIER member who even posts here any more (and Tiffany too, from the second incarnation of SOLDIER, if you consider her very occasional posts at TFF). It would be an utterly futile attempt, and a waste of time. He'd have to bring in entirely fresh blood, which would defeat the purpose of reviving it to begin with. Half of the SOLDIER members are either banned, have had their accounts deleted, or otherwise gone from TFF. The other half have vanished into nothingness.


@Jason: The idea of removing the forum's public access locks is a bad one. Remember, even though this forum is invisible, it's still access-only. Removing that would allow people like FDL, who lurk on the Who's Online page, to gain access to this forum and subsequently post completely invalid opinions on everything.


@Topic: I'm still up for getting Sarah to return, and I'm game for giving Tiffany access. I don't mind altering peoples' permissions to let them in here. How many you guys choose to let in is up to you.

Yeah, I know. I never really had in mind to make this forum a public access again. It would defeat the purpose of me being here. I have my reasons for not posting outside of this forum, and if it ever became public access, I would delete my posts and leave immediately.

What I was getting at is the fact that the nature of this forum -- a private access, must-get-permissions-from-you forum -- may be more of a hassle than it is worth if it came to adding in newer members, whomever they may be. We'd have to pester you to grant access every time. A separate forum, similar to Whatever years ago, would make things easier on everyone. We could keep the link under wraps and give it to people we know we can trust not to create drama, you know? A close-knit group, but slightly larger than it is currently.

I'm at the point of not caring, though. I had a pretty piss poor day today; there are bigger problems in my life than if this person is let into the group or that person is excluded. If we cannot reach consensus, we don't... it's that simple. If it becomes an idea that was simply not well received, I'm fine with that.

I just wish we could do this get-together in some other medium. IRC, AIM, MSN, whatever. I have a general distaste for forums. If not for S pestering me daily, I probably wouldn't be here right now.

[Victoria]

Well. Tiffany is Elewen. ED is ED. Chez is.. Chez. Lol.
Sarah is... I don't know her original name, but her AIM is Pure Evil 409.

Edit: Now that I think about it... Sarah's always been Sarah, hasn't she? -ponders-

[Spekkio]

Yeah, I share....Heero, right? That was your original ****ing name, if I recall....'s point of view. New people = Scary and Tainted.
