Title: Hello
Post by: ShadowStep on December 07, 2008, 11:59:46 PM
Yeah... I joined this like over a year ago and then never came back. I dunno why. I think I was busy and just forgot about it. I came back recently though and looked around... It seems even more active and I'd like to get back into it. Dunno if that's okay since I was gone for so long. I half expected my account to be gone.

Can't remember how I found it though.... Was it off Better Days or DMFA...

*Looks around*
Oh... Wait. You guys aren't even Furry. Nevermind.

*Starts to walk off not seeing any Furs' in the Vicinity.*

No furries? What am I, then? :<

But hey, I left for a while, then came back too. No one seemed to be complaining. If you're here now, welcome back. :3

We are not a furry community, but there are quite a few furries that do post here.  DMFA is one of several comics that counts Clockwork Mansion Forums as its home.

However, if you are interested in only talking with furries, this is probably not the place for you as roleplaying is not permitted outside of the roleplaying forum.

If you do decide to stay, just keep in mind a few of our rules.

1. Read the rules, it saves a lot of time, and I'm not doing a whole lot of research here, so I might miss something.

2. Don't get on the bad side of the mods, they bite.

3. "Welcome To The Forum, And Have A Nice Day!"!

4.  We're generally a pretty laid back community. Drilling people with highly detailed interrogations is likely to only get them annoyed. Trust me on this one.

5. Pink Floyd is the greatest rock band ever, and Planescape: Torment holds that  equivalent position for CRPGS.

6. Someone is likely to repeat these warnings anyway. I'm not sure why.

But please, feel welcome. I think I speak for most of us when I say we do like new people, especially the fresh perspective they bring.

Nomnomnomnomnomnom.

Oh, and watch out for anyone who warns you to watch out for folks, because there are sneaky types around here, and they're probably up to something.

No lol, I'm not really a Furry I just like to roleplay as them. But thanks though.

And whoever called me a Douche Bag... That was unnecessary.  :erk

Darkmoon's probably jealous because most people come here for DMFA, while the forum was originally dedicated to his comic...

... which is CVRPG. See the Lusty Siren Tavern.

Don't take him personally, he's like that to everyone. Including the other moderators...

Naw, I was just pointing out the obvious fact that he came across like a douchebag.

Probably because he is one.

Well, I don't see how he's coming off as a douchebag, but either way...

Welcome back/aboard.  We're all liars and thieves here.  Most with an agenda.  Some are worse than others though.  Particularly llearch.  He's always just lurkin' around.  I think he's out to get ya'.  Watch for it.  First he'll be all friendly and helpful and then *WHAMPOW* he's got ya'.  Then there's Darkmoon, but he's not sneaky about it.
Title: Re: Hello
Post by: Eibborn on December 08, 2008, 04:26:19 PM
I have to agree that the douchebag thing was unnecessarily rude. FOR SHAME, MR. DARKMOON. >:|

But yeah, roleplaying is for the Haunted Ballroom only. The rest of the time, we're all dorky humans typing at each other.

Edit: Typos must die.

Darkmoon doesn't really like those who see no value in who people are, rather than who they expect people to be.

For example, if you're coming here only for the furries, then he doesn't believe this is the place for you.  Because the furry aspect of the board is just one facet of a vibrant, intelligent, kind community.  He (and I) were deeply annoyed at the original poster for that reason.

Indeed. That was why I called him a douchebag. He acted as if this place wasn't worth his time simply because the posters on here (most or some) aren't always furry 24/7. That annoyed me a great deal.

Plus, it violates Rule 1 (http://clockworkmansion.com/main.php?page=rules#rule01) and Rule 12 (http://clockworkmansion.com/main.php?page=rules#rule12) (as well as, of course, Rule 6 (http://clockworkmansion.com/main.php?page=rules#rule6)).

he probably deserved it, but doesn't the use of colorful insults constitute breaking one of the rules as well?
Title: Re: Hello
Post by: Darkmoon on December 20, 2008, 09:08:56 PM
Actually, no. It wasn't trolling (as per Rule 2B), since I wasn't following him around the forums. It's not "being a jerk" as per Rule 1, since the rule says being a jerk to everyone, and I was just being a jerk to him.

In fact, Rule 1C says that introductory threads a more of a grey area. And, as per Rule 3, I did amuse myself, so my "flame" of him would be tolerated.

He would have been within his rights (as per Rule 11) to complain about him. He did not.

Wouldn't the thread also be in violation of rule 5A as well? And in asking, does this post violate rule 10? :B

Technically, yes. And no, because you're asking, not telling.
