On-screen keyboards are awesome for times like this. If you're using Windows, it's usually under Control Panel -> Accessibility or something to that effect.
That said, welcome to the forums, read the rules, fear the Box, fix your keyboard, so on and so forth.

Honestly, I'm reading everything you write with a Transylvanian-style accent... want to replace W's with V's while you're at it?
In all seriousness, though, people will get a much better impression of you if you take the extra time to type correctly. The mods will also be less likely to smack you around...

Well I don't know if this counts... but I chose a screenname that would logically be shortened to 'Amber' before realizing that this is the name of DMFA's artist and creator. I was rather offset and mildly embarrassed when I realized what I'd done. Now people have to call me AC... >.>

i actually tried to find the on screen keyboard o.o for some reason i couldn't locate it, >.< and i don't have a numerical keypad... but i guess i could just copy paste, or use this blasted spell checker thing. >.> demon magic i say. DEMON MAGIC
on another note i did notice that, 'admin's think you' thing. what's that for? if it's one of those 'in the rules' things i'll likely find it when i get up in the morning XD

Someone got upset at it being called Karma, so the admins renamed it to make it more obvious that it's a joke.

ohhhhh, that explains it. XD i noticed a LOT of variable numbers Dx i imagine my -1 probably came from my first appearance here having a horrifically typoed and grammar murdering post. XD
Welcome to the boards, I hope you enjoy it here. :)
On a sidenote, that drawing rocks.
:D
Here's a suggestion - write the post with Z's, or maybe something more obscure like '@'. Copy it into Notepad or some similar equivalent. Get an 's' from somewhere and do a search-and-replace. Or just go out and buy another keyboard ;-)
Anyway, welcome to the forum, don't forget to read the rules and remember that there's more to the forum than just DMFA. It was originally set up for Darkmoon's CVRPG...
Second the 'new keyboard' suggestion. When I needed a spare keyboard (transferring stuff between my old and new computers) I found a fairly good basic one at my local Kmart for A$10.
Also, welcome. Have a souvenir coffee mug.
yay...coffee mug. o.o i don't drink coffee >.> dunno why i don't like it.
also, i live about 50 miles from the nearest 'anywhere' selling electronics, plus i'd need a usb keyboard cause i'm using a laptop. though it helps that the posting page here allows spell checking XD
also, on another note, would it be acceptable to peddle links to story pieces i'm doing to get opinions? i mean, once i actually get done with all the ideas oozing out of my ears Dx
hey look, a Z where it's supposed to be.
and i had noooo idea lost lake was built near dracula's castle >.> that must've been one helluva realization for some people. =3

Take those to the Tower of Art. Rules in there state how to set up a thread, all that jazz.
Assuming you're in the US, you could always hit up newegg or something and get them to post you a keyboard. It's not going to be massively expensive to do that...
Or use search/replace. Or copy.paste an s every time you need one. Or you could ask nicely on the IRC, I'm sure someone will happily provide an s.
... no, wait. Actually, scrap that last idea. If you wander in there and ask, I'm sure that everyone there will deliberately remove every s from everything they say. Including nicknames...

Holy bologna sauce! I didn't even notice they changed it O_o Last I checked it was 'come' and 'go'... does it change every few months or something? As an aside however, I too disapprove of the word 'karma'. However my reason is that I think it should be spelled 'kharma' >.>
Take up the spelling with the SMF developers. I'm sure they'll be more than happy to discuss making that change with you, given the extensive support you've provided them.

ooOooooo ... I could automate it .. write a script ...
it could convert all 's' and 'S' into z's
it would be easy too !
*scampers off*
:D
The clever sort would get such a script into Shoryu's IRC client, so that he never sees any s's at all...
Even better - Modify the IRC server software, that way no matter which client you connect with, you'd still get no s's. :D
He would if he changed onto a different server. I'd say just modify his client and block all other clients. :P
I run the server. I'm pretty sure I can make sure there are no other servers... ;-]

I don't really mind, as long as I know which one means "Come" and which one means "Go". Right now, I haven't the slightest clue...

AFAIK the order cannot be changed, so it's always + on the left and - on the right.

He doesn't have the requisite anatomy to make ritual sacrifices that appease me.
Aaaaannnddd.... now I want to know what actually would be required and what exactly such a ritual sacrifice would entail :/
Dang this curiosity of mine! It causes such problems for me >.<

As I said elsewhere, I almost never look at that because I don't use it, so I didn't notice until it was mentioned here.
When I look at online dictionaries, it is spelled karma. However, kharma frequently redirects to karma. The word karma comes from Sanskrit, which does not use the Roman alphabet. We are therefore discussing a transliteration, and there are frequently changes in transliterations over time.
There are some companies that spell it kharma, specifically a manufacture of loudspeakers and the Kharma Khameleon (http://www.kharmakhameleon.com/) store.
