I'm not Clay. Never will be. And you people know how to make someone feel bad for their aquaintance with Clay. I'm not a self loathing emo. I'm not a jackass who likes to ruin everything. I wanted to post my opinion where needed and move on. I didn't attack any of you in any way. I never did a thing to get me hated. But you guys just don't want to believe anything other than Oh my God He's Clay. I'm his neighbor for god's sake. My name is Michael Pierce. I am 15 about to be 16 in November. I stole Clay's birthday and subtracted two days for my profile. My mom's name is Sandra Colby. My dad's name is Jim Colby. I have two little brothers, a sister, and two dogs. Talking about me and my family may have been going to far but I'm just trying to prove that I am NOT CLAY!!!!!!
I will admit this, though. Whilst the IP and metal associations stand against you, now that I've read a few more posts... well, you make a good point about yourself. You've not exactly made a whole bunch of ridiculous posts from what I can see. As such, I suppose it is rather unfair to villify (why doesn't that word seem to be spelled correctly?) you.
Here's a suggestion: change your screen-name to something geeky (ie. not a personal name of a band member, but something from CT, or game related, or something to that end. Heck, if you prove yourself different, and people still bug you, make it something like 'Lord Ozzie' - just a suggestion. Why? Sort of a 'if you think I act like this, I'll take this name' sort of thing.) Also, it might help to have a different sig. Maybe a colorful and well-made one? It makes each and every post stand out more maturely. That way, if you keep posting well, I think everyone will swiftly forget about the whole association. People here are forgiving, after all. For proof, go look at the first posts from, what was it, three years ago? When the Compendium was first made. I posted here and totally railed at Radical Dreamer and the rest for their obsesseive analysis of the Chrono series. Heh. Talk about an ogre. Anyway, I stopped posting for a long time, but now... heck, I don't know if RD even remembers that.
You see, if you set up your account so that each one of your posts is bounded by a nice and clean avatar and sig, you'll probably be looked at better just because. It's one of those things. Like looking at a nice website. No matter what it's about or how ridiculous it is, if it's nicely set up, it garners attention. So I'd suggest getting a nice avatar (the one you have is fine, but maybe a bit smaller, and one that looks more unique... the picture ones just don't do it for me. They look better if they aren't a square, but are in gif form which has a see-through background. Take Lord J's hovering Crono. It's instantly recognizable. That sort of thing. If you want Slash, I'd suggest finding a gif animation of him slashing.) For a sig, well, what you have probably isn't the best for you right now. Personally, I tend to not like simple phrases as much. They're alright, but nothing beats a nice sig - the words can be put afterward (though I think mine's gotten kind of old, come to think of it. I put it up there when I read that Aineias killed a warrior by the name of Magus in the Aeneid.) But a sig has far more power to frame and set apart a post. Or that's my theory.
You know what? Here you go, I made you a sig with the whole Lord Ozzie thing:
