I concur. We also need a reachable moderator, if I may.

Latu, thankfully I haven't deleted the old forums just yet :)


I'll add the Astroboy smilies when I get home tonight. I'll try to put together some rules too, though I would think the basic stuff (like swearing, etc...) is a given - or it should be anyway.

As for moderators, I've already asked one member if they'd like to help moderate, it would be nice to have 1 or 2 more though. And who says I'm not reachable? :p
(I know, I've been slack lately)

While trying to send a private message, I got:

The following errors occurred when this message was submitted:

1. The text that you have entered is too long (6771 characters). Please shorten it to 5000 characters long.

But then maybe it means that I should learn to write shorter messages... :confused: :rolleyes:

Woah, that's a huge PM :eek:

Perhaps it's best for the time being just to keep the limit in mind when writing messages. While I'd be happy to increase the limit, I'm sure it'd only be a matter of time until someone was complaining that their 10,342 character message wasn't being accepted ;)

I think I wrote much longer PMs in the past! :D I'm a fast typist, maybe that's why I don't realize I write such long messages, lol!

Of course, I understand! ;) If it was very important, I could always split it in two anyway.

I just had an idea... it's not something important, but I thought it could be amusing. ;) How about making the user titles Astroboy related? I don't know what they could be right now, but maybe together we could try to find funny titles. ;)

I like that idea, but I can't think of a good tiered system.

If this was Dragonball Z, then you could have various levels of Saiyen. If it was Digimon, you could have Mega/Chamption/Ultra or whatever they are. But Astroboy doesn't really have an escallating power theme. Unless you used "10 horsepower", "100 horsepower", "1,000 horsepower" etc. Or for a more obscure reference, "Bo-Bo", "Big-Bo", "Bigger-Bo", "Biggest-Bo". Then me and Jeffbert and Atoman can have a laugh and everyone else will have blank faces. :D


Would it be a good idea to have a Report button at the bottom of each post, next to the Quote button? So if there's a bad post it sends a PM to one of the moderators.
ImageOh wait there already is one. :o
