[center][h3][b][u][/u][/b][/h3][/center] Alright, I've decided to put up a thread for people who know me to communicate with me easier, or just get to know each other as well. It seems like I'm probably here to stay (unless enough dipshits manage to piss me off enough that I decide this site isn't worth my time anymore), so I figured this was a good idea. I'm more interested in building community here than role-playing, since I've got my own writing projects. I don't particularly have the time to keep a tab on the C-box, and with my PC always having issues it's also not practical to have a tab up at all times just for the C-box anyway -- I'll only be looking there when I have a moment occasionally. Since it's sort of inconvenient to use the status bar - or the PM system - anytime someone wants to quickly fill me in on something or say 'hi', I think this would be the best option whenever what you want to say isn't something private. I've got no interest in using the Discord channel the site has set up either, since it seems to be nothing but a herding ground for some of the toxic elements in this community to talk shit about people like the two-faced weaklings they are. This is a place for people who know me, or people who'd like to know me or my friends and associates. Anyone who comes in here putting up pointless shit that has nothing to do with communicating or hanging out with me or the people I know, or anyone who comes in here just to cause problems or be disrespectful, will be considered as spamming -- I'll see to if they're dealt with hastily if they don't fuck off. I'm open to both casual and serious talks here, as well as intellectual discussions and debates; so long as the everything is kept adult and civil, that is -- I won't tolerate those who talk down to me or show me any sort of disrespect, so don't start a conversation unless you can abide by that. I don't particularly want to deal with drama between people, so let's all be mature here. I won't put up with 'trolling' or attempts to provoke childish bickering -- I'm not here to babysit. There's also a possibility that I'll use this place to collaborate ideas with my friends and associates if the topic of discussion is not related to something that we consider more appropriate to be kept private (or something related to a current role-play we're in -- there's a reason the threads for role-play have an OOC tab, after all), such as possibly talking about my '[b][i][u]Guardian Ascension[/u][/i][/b]' project (assuming it's something I don't mind mentioning publically). Unless they'd prefer to keep it to a PM I'll also use this place to help people out if they've got some problems, and I'll update people here on my own status too. Once again, anyone who decides to harass people or cause them issues will be dealt with. Double posting and such is fine, but keep excessive meaningless posts under control or I'll view it as spam. So anyway, yeah, here you go.
