Same problem. Or prehaps Vee has enough of we posting his images without premission.

[Negrek]

No, he's just been having problems with his server lately; he's thinking about switching if things don't improve, I believe.

Although I highly doubt he appreciates people stealing his bandwidth all the time.

[Silencer]

Yeay, finally the holidays are upon us. So what are you guys planning?

[Mew Master]

My GF's been here since last Thursday, however she's leaving to go back home tomorrow T_T. Other than that I suppose I'll spend my time watching movies and doing-whatever... *shrugs*

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Mostly preforming with band, spending time with GF and playing some more music at home.

[Weasel Overlord]

I have plans! Yay! First christmas in three years I've spent without my boyfriend *cries* But I'm off to my work's party tonight, then it's my brother's 2nd birthday on the 27th (Yay! Jelly and Ice Cream! ^_____^) and I'm off to play Warhammer 40K the day after, then on the 29th I'm climbing aboard the National Express for a 12 hour journey to Cornwall, where I'm spending a week with my best friendy, Vulpix.ck! ^_^ A busy holiday!

But is it just me, or does it not feel Cristmassy at all!? It's really bizzare...

That happens when you get older. Dont change untill you have lots of little kids to infect you with excitement.

[Silencer]

In belgium it doesn't feel Xmassy at all. (MLG can probably confirm this).

Comparing last year to this one I think that the average temperature for december has risen somewhere between 5° to 10° Celsius. It hasn't even gone below 0° except for 2 or 3 days I think.

[Blademaster]

I know, the Christmas spirit is just kinda 'meh' this year - I guess that's what happens due to a lovely blend of getting older, global warming keeping all the snow away (sniff), and using the computer and Wii (Yes, I got one! Please add my number! ) so much that you don't notice all the stupid Christmas specials on 24-7.

Still, I do have some plans - going to a dinner party with the family in an hour, then the traditional Christmas stuff on Monday (Yay, toys! ), and after that, three weeks of sleeping in! W00t!

[Ultimate Charizard]

You got a Wii? Lucky sod.
Have you had a request to return it yet? I hear Nintendo had to do a recall due to some stupid gamers managed to break theyre TV screens with the controllers because the wrist strap broke, forgetting that you still had to hold on to the damn thing.
Ninty said they were gonna recall and strengthen the strap.

[Negrek]

I'm at my grandparents' house in Maine currently, and that's where I'll be all break. I'll add my sentiment that this year doesn't feel very Christmassy--perhaps because it's almost sixty degrees fahrenheit here.

Yes, I got one.

But, GameCube games and NES/SEGA games I downloaded from the Shop Channel aside, the only game I have for the Wii itself is Wii Sports which, fun as it is, just doesn't cut it... I'm not going to really 'have' the Wii I want until Super Mario Galaxy comes out... Whenever that is. (sniff)

And yes, I've heard about the strap incidents; I'm not letting them recall my Wii! No way - It's MINE! I know how to operate my own fingers and articulate them in such a way as to be able to hold the Wii-mote without... you know... letting it go. :-/

[Chris 2.1]

Well we've just had Premas. And Christmas is tomorrow. Premas is kinda like a pre-xmas for us on xmas eve where me, my brother and my parents each get the other 3 a gift costing only £5. And we eat the bacon off the turkey (since it goes all crispy) and then go out for a meal with some other family.

then tomorrow, we get all our proper presents, see more family (and gfs etc) and eat lots of turkey and chocolate. but not together.

Then work on boxing day. yipee!

[Chris 2.1]

Topic Change!


Member of the Month

This Member of the Month is: Blademaster

This is the second time he has won the award. Blade is always insightful in the chat threads (help or hindrance) and is ready to help people with problems around the forum. He may have hung up his reffing boots but his heart is in the right place - just look at all his donations in the Xmas Tree!

Blade you get 5 points. Link here.

And I'm thinking we need a little plaque sprite for winners of MOTM

[Silencer]

Gratz bladey

Also, am I the only one that has the feeling that all he does is reffing? Although I have taken a brake from reffing for the moment.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Yup, I'm here aswell. Reffings here, reffings there, I'm taking to much on my back..

[Lady Vulpix]

*Wonders in.* Wow, an aptly titled topic!

Ok, who's here? And what do people do in this place? It seems to be more than just conversing.

[Chris 2.1]

Its deceptive, Lady V. We talk about everything and anything.

Speaking of which check out the ASB Xmas Tree. You've a few presents there!

[Lady Vulpix]

Me? Wow! Thanks for letting me know, I wouldn't have thought of going there since I don't celebrate Christmas. Is it fair that I should get presents, though? Not only do I not celebrate it, but I don't have anything to give in return either. I'm still new to ASB and haven't even completed a battle yet.

[Silencer]

Don't worry about not having anything to give back. There is always next year, or perhaps the summer Xmas tree will make his return.

Also we pretty much discuss things about ASB here such as reffings but also battling and favorite pokémon, favorite arena,... It's a blast. Sadly I think we didn't suggest any name for this month.

[Chris 2.1]

Of course you deserve it! It was a welcome gift. And it's less christmas, more 'random spend spree month'.

If you got a new Pokemon, get it approved at The Approval Tower. You need to link to the Xmas Tree in the post. For example:

I recieved an Absol from Chris 2.0

Absol [M]
nickname
[Hyperlink to Xmas Tree]

And if you recieved points at the xmas tree you need to update at the bank. Since you have no points it will be easy.

Recieved 2 points [HYPERLINK]here[/HYPERLINK]

Old: 0
New: 2

As you can tell I'm trying to win votes for best moderator.

[Silencer]

I'm doing it to be member of the month someday. Plus I like activity. There is nothing better then activity on a forum

We all have our reasons

[Lady Vulpix]

Thank you, Chris.
I don't like to partake in popularity contests such as that one, but I really appreciate your help... and your gifts. And if you tell me how to contact you, I can interview you for the next E-Zine. Otherwise I'll just send you the same questions I asked Shonta, and you can answer them.

[Blademaster]

Member of the Month again, huh? You guys seriously give me WAY too much credit...

Oh, well, they say to never look a gift horse in the mouth. Yoink!

(grabs points and runs to Bank)

I'llworkontheMotMplaquesoonkthnxbai...!

[Lady Vulpix]

True, there's nothing better than activity on a forum. Without it, all that's left is an old archive. I know I've been trying to get some activity into the AC/CC subforum of PCG, as well as 2 other forums I post in. It's a hard task. I'm glad you're achieving it here.

[Ultimate Charizard]

Just jumping in to be the first to say (that ive seen)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRIS

18 years as of now, fully legal and therefore you realise none of it is quite as much fun as it used to be.
Happy Birthday fella, and dont get too drunk (unless everyone else is buying )

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Yes, HB Chris! Make it a good one.

On another note, I made it to the finals of the January contest today. Hurray.

Not to high or drunk, since you can drive now ^^

[Chris 2.1]

WAHOO!

EIGHTEEN YEARS OLD! I'm excited. I got exactly 4 presents (and recalled Dudley Dursley getting about 39, sadly) and a nice wad of money. Going out for lunch, hitting the town with the lads (as in spending money-wise) THEN hitting the town with the lads (and lasses) (as in drinking a lot-wise)



I'm responsible, sensible AND a good example.

[Lady Vulpix]

Happy Birthday, Chris! I could think of something more to say, but I'm talking to you right now.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

I'm responsible, sensible AND a good example.

Now now, this best mod thing is going to your head

[Chris 2.1]

I'm getting slayed in round 2. check out misc :-/

[Silencer]

Happy Birthday Chris.

Getting slaughtered huh? To bad, you're a great mod. Sadly I don't know a lot of other moderators so it's kind of hard to say that you're better then others :p

[Lady Vulpix]

Oh, come on, it's just a silly popularity contest. Odds are most voters don't even stop to think of who does a best job and just vote for those closest to them.

[Andrew]

True. Still, we all know the true winner is me.

[Lady Vulpix]

Wow, Andrew has made me laugh!

[The Blue Avenger]

A little late, but hey, happy birthday, Chris!

[Lady Vulpix]

Welcome back, Jeff! How was your trip?

It's your turn to post on our battle.

[Saffire Persian]

Happy Birthday! Oh, and the second round of the contest should be up tonight. ^_^

[The Blue Avenger]

Welcome back, Jeff! How was your trip?

It's your turn to post on our battle.

It was really fun - I've never been to Chicago before - but long. Right now I'm just very happy to be home.

And is it? I'll get on that soon.

[Chris 2.1]

Thanks SP! I gave you a contest promotion. You deserve it.
