Idk about y'all, but I'm a dinosaur when it comes to this and I notice I have these thoughts when I go to do new stuff like 'X admin I used to work with would hate this' or 'Y member base would never stand for this and it'd be a shitshow' that limits me sometimes even though it's irrational.


I've worked with a lot of people over the years who had very specific and intense dislikes, and I'm instantly reminded of them every time I do something I know they'd be vehemently opposed to. As time passes more and more of those things tend to be outdated, but some of them aren't yet. I still remember when people used to have heated arguments over whether installing a chatbox would kill a site or not, now everyone has discords. My side wins!

Come to think about it, I wonder if there are some random people I've worked with in the past who are similarly nostalgic/jumpy whenever someone mentions the word scenario. Scenario boards have been the hill that I would die on for years, even if they never really took off. Enabling member-ran events on a large scale was the way I saw forums moving forward, but I lost that one at least so far.

I also vehemently hated Chatango, but that particular pet peeve isn't really relevant anymore. That being said, if any of y'all install a Chatango chatbox on your site I am hard judging even harder than before because now we have Discord.


I am guilty of using Chatango and will prepare for your hard judgement. XD

As a staff member, I have always been someone to write longer lore I find. I never try to shorten it, but rather, create plenty of categories so I could write what I desire without members losing their place or making it all mandatory. I do not think I am somebody who could master short-written lore. Heck, the most popular site I run so far is my current one and it has the longest lore... Soooo, this tells me I am personally better writing longer pieces and assuring there are markers. Or I am lucky as hell.

The soft trickling of rain, quietly played music and a calm transcending through my body. Regulated breaths and a cleared head as I quietly enjoy nature mingling with music. I love rainy days.

People have said this a million times, but when people do not check the face claim list. Especially when they are like "Oh, I am going to use INSERT FC HERE," and it is a taken face claim. x.x Then there are the ones who get their graphics ready but do not think to check the list. The ones who message active members essentially saying "Hey, I'm just going to try and snipe your claim even though it is already listed as an accepted character." It gets worse when they complain about not being able to use the FC when they were the one who decided not to check the list. Nowadays, it mostly annoys me because I update that claim religiously and really work to keep everything nice and tidy.

may or may have not posted this in the wrong spot. ;-;

I have noticed a trend because of how much memory goes to my site. Whenever I am thinking "Huh, haven't seen new members in a while." They all come during the activity check. XD First day of activity check and 3 newbies. On a side note, welcome, always happy to see some new ideas~!

Stare at it, and if I can't find the error, then google or start from scratch until I get angry enough to rant, walk away from the computer and go pace in the kitchen... I pace in the kitchen when I am angrily pondering how to handle something...
