Etiquette (or: don't talk IN ALL CAPS)

[BonzaiRob]

If you want to be taken seriously, here are some things that are good to know:

1) DON'T TALK IN ALL CAPS
2) don't talk in no caps
3) Use punctuation. Full stop at the end of a sentence, capital letter at start.
4) Read the rules and look around before posting. Well done for making your way here; there are big links to rules above.

It's polite to say hello in the Newbies forum. The other main thing is, don't pick fights or argue unnecessarily.
There are also some other things that it is frowned upon to do:

Don't post just to boost your post count. The little thing like Junior/Senior member isn't that exciting; with posts in brackets, it goes Junior member(0), Full member (50), Senior Member (150), PT Regular (500), God (1000), Posts Too Much (1250), Postacular (1600). You shouldn't be past Senior Member within a year if you're sensible. I haven't hit Posts Too Much and I've been here since 2004.

Don't post your awesome sprites and expect them to be in the game. We've more or less finalised what pokémon will be in. If you're a good spriter we might offer you a job (some of ours need redoing), and if we like you THEN your pokémon might be added. Don't count on it.

Don't ask to be mod. This only shows that you're interested in power, not that you're responsible, which is what we look for in mods.


That's about it for now. Thanks for reading!

Didn't you set your postcount as negative for a while? I'm sure you have more posts than your postcount indicates, as do I.

Of course, Proboards allows you to fuck with postcounts, but doesn't let you fix em up

That makes me think of the time I had 700000 posts . It was quite easy to fix it however, since I just multiplied my post count with 1000 by then.

As for the fact that Bonzai hasn't reached Posts Too Much yet, I don't find that so hard to believe. He posts a lot lately, but I've always got more posts than him. I was here quite a lot earlier of course, while Bonzai was too busy with PF (what's happened with that by the way?) to be hanging around here, so that's not surprising. It is, however, a good reason for why he doesn't have the Posts Too Much "rank" yet.

I think my postcount is higher than 3000 but of course search doesn't go that high >.>

PF's still going, but for now I'm just working on the website. I'm planning a lot of MySQL/PHP features for it, it's gonna be cool

TL, you are the kinfg of smpammy posts or were last year anyway. I'm hoping you'll be more sensible this year

I originally bought one hundred pokemon figures from www.LDUcompany.com but they say there are over 400 different kinds. They have one wholesale lot of 440 at this page www.liangdianup.com/inventory/109933.htm

Are there really that many different monsters? Every place I look says a different total number. Even the official pokemon website says a different total then some posters that I have seen. Is this a growing number? Do they even have this cartoon anymore?
