Well that's a good sign.

I wanted to bring back the red and black theme and chose to modify an existing phpBB3 theme called AeroRed. So, it started off as a nice design by someone, named, John Olson. I tried to keep it that way. :)

Mmm, the starburst image has a nice spacey feel to it. Anarchy in Space baby!

Hey, we've been talking about that lately too. :D

P.S. Y, remind me that I had an idea I wanted to talk to you about. I don't have time now, but if you would drop me a PM, that would be great.

What, I said that your argument made sense and I agree with you. What, am I supposed to be infallible?

Have I really been stripped of everything because I disagreed with you? That's a bit dictatorial, isn't it?

i'm often the first person to stand up and say that young people should be put in positions of responsibility. as a matter of fact, that's exactly what i did when the board needed a new mod and i suggested you. i've noted that age and level of maturity are often not corelated.

but both your actions beforehand, and your responses afterwards, have shown that you have some growing up to do.

you were performing a courtesy? straightening out a crooked picture? that might get some chuckles in 3rd period homeroom, but you're being ridiculous. what you were doing is the equivalent of counting coup - showing us what you could do because you could do it.

i call everyone i disagree with a fascist? everything i said in that post was absolutely true. in case you hadn't noticed, some people who post here actually do espouse racist, right-wing, and authoritarian left positions. it's a forum, they'll get called on it.

you're still not getting it. you had nothing to be 'stripped' of. it's not an honor; it's not a merit badge. who has what responsibilities here is not determined by elections and it never has been in the 12+ year history of flag (despite whatever lies/fantasies may have been fed to you). you can either keep posting here and tolerate how it is- just like everyone else, or you can go to the (still) wide open internet and find your way - or both. i sincerely wish you the best of luck either way.

In other words, "put up or shut up."

Kinda like Chuck0.

apparently, someone is very unclear on the concept of what spam is... and it ain't me.

chuck0 censors people, and claims that he is part of a collective. here at flag, censorship is generally frowned upon, and no one has ever called it a collective. (and btw, moving threads to visible sub-forums or putting posters in one sub-forum is not censorship.)

like i said, the internet is wide open. you can even create/maintain your own ad-free forum for free with services like http://grou.ps and others.

Actually, no, I was actually trying to be nice - there isn't anything to be read into it. You could have said nicely that you didn't like it, and that would have been that. I wasn't 'showing us what I could do because you could do it.'

i call everyone i disagree with a fascist? everything i said in that post was absolutely true. in case you hadn't noticed, some people who post here actually do espouse racist, right-wing, and authoritarian left positions. it's a forum, they'll get called on it.

Okay, I apologize for that, that was uncalled for.

Y, I feel you're going a bit far as well now. You may disagree with it, but it's not spam.
