Damn, I thought I made the RP forum not count members' posts.

Should I go ahead and do that now?

Edit: And before someone says "but that'll kill our recognition," it's really how things go around here. The Compendium's attitude of merit and size (which never reached a critical mass explosion) mean that recognition is still very tied to achievement. GlitterBerri translated two important documents and became Guru of Time instantly. FaustWolf cracked a lot of Chrono Cross and became Guru of Time, and then administrator. Luminaire85 developed a Blender plugin to view Chrono Cross models, and became Guru of Time too. If you really want recognition or something, it's waiting (even the Architect of Kajar rank), but it's tied to concrete contributions.

Well, RP posts are still technically posts, but... that sounds good. Goodbye, most of Nerdy's post count...

I really don't care, like I said. I would like a Springtime of youth thing though, because I'm there now and planning on posting there everyday. I just want to access the website. If you want to check, I have stated under my minor goals In Springtime of Youth that I wanted to contribute something Important, whatever I do.

Thanks whoever changed my rank!!

I know, ain't it the truth?

Will Shad get banned if he doesn't clean up his act?

But then while the forums may be more productive and meaningful, they won't be nearly as entertaining.  :D

EDIT: Whoops. Not sure how I screwed a simple post up. Also, I haven't noticed any new posts from Shadow today, which is highly unusual.

Trust me it was plenty entertaining before as well. I don't really care about the missing post count, but I didn't catch on to the names telling who was online/offline.

I guess this Shadow guy was really annoying, right? Sucks to be him.

For my part, I thought Shadow was just fine, though it definitely took some time for him to adjust to Compendium culture.

I'm just glad he didn't create any alternate accounts or anything.

Maybe he tried? Perhaps he failed?

Thing is, if one is going to do an alternate account, an important thing is to make sure they aren't related in name so that it is not known if the same person did it. But I'm sure there are other ways to find out.

I don't get it. Isn't he just referencing monapizza and all that...?

Is Shadow banned now? Didn't he say something about getting his computer back soon or some such...? For what it's worth, I always thought 4th triforce piece was/is/whatever far more annoying than anything Shadow did...

I have to agree with V on that one. Although Shadow just didn't contribute to anything except for an occasional 'Huh...' or 'Facepalm' or 'stupid attached picture', Triforce was worse. I didn't understand his need for fetching his own smilies and abusing them. Those poor smilies... I hope they're in a better place now.

Well if he was than perhaps I gave FaustWolf too much credit, as it is incredibly ironic that he would post that unintentionally directly below "olxlinc"'s post.
