Huur, so BBcode (which is not visible) can still be found using the Search Function. That explains why Qwert was able to find last month's as well. I'll have to think of something new, or take this down altogether.

Thanks for the comments, everyone.

Actually I found it fair and square, had no idea about the BBcode. >.<

Volke's idea seems too easy.

Violence, really Nikki? For shame.

Anyways... where is this picture you speak of.

GAH...I will post another on the pics thread. But there was one there that Volke must have found. No idea where it is on the 100 of pages there. But yeah violence..want some?

Congrats by the way!

My idea won't be too easy, especially if we ppost the join date of a member who's either unknown or hasn't posted for years. It'll be a hell of a scramble to find out who it is...but then there's the question of whether people will actually bother.

balthiersbit - It was quite a hairy shadow.

Well I will have you know that I have posted more pics. And there still is a shadow!! But Im telling you it isnt a beard!

Yeah, you shaved it off and glued it to the rat that became your 'kitten'.

I hope you're not actually taking me seriously.

Nikki cannot detect sarcasm.

Vasco, you might want to start adding a little date somewhere on the MotM sig. To you know... stop confusion... or something like that.

Good newsletter this month. I'm happy to come back this month unless people would prefer Volke, I mean we've already had Loony express his view, as much as I disagree with how I 'screw' with his articles, because all I ever do is edit the format to one I suggested without complaint originally but people didn't seem to follow.

I honestly could care less who does it. I personally do not see a difference between the two of you.

Wait....

So if Vasco didn't even make that post, then no one but him would've known about the BBcode being detectable due to the search function.


I believe i speak for Vasco when i say; whoops.

I mentioned several times how I strongly dislike numbering the people in the achievements, as I don't sort them from greatest to least or anything, but my complaints were generally ignored.

^I understand that, but the numbers don't mean that number one is better than number five, it's just the order, and in my opinion it looks cleaner. It's not like people are going to complain that they're super awesome and should be number one, because that's not going to happen.. But I'm guessing someone will now just to try and be funny. xD

Anyways, my opinion in the editor situation: Both Volke and TV are great. I like Volke's little messages, they're great. I also like how TV changed to format of the articles, they look cleaner, and that's how I automatically create my article now, because I think it looks better. They both have their ups..

Right, right. You randomly went to the Anime forum, got to the correct topic and finally found the correct page and the pixel hidden in the middle of some massive spoilers. In the midtime, Qwert was able to find last month's pixel in a few minutes, when all the other members couldn't for over 20 days. Way to be subtle, guys.

As for the Editors, I say get rid of them both so we can find better.

Xeta, will do, once I can be bothered to open PS.

But it doesn't need to be numbered. Numbering it gives the impression of one over the other and all that crap, and I don't want it to say that. I just want it to state the block of posts where everyone is. In my opinion, it looks a little messier too. For it to say 1, 2, 3, exc. in front of it seems a bit messier than just putting the stars.
It was my impression that the writer generally wrote the format and the editor made sure there were no spelling or grammar issues.

Testvirus101 is the 'official' editor, so it's his job, unless he can't find the time or quits.

The stars look MUCH messier than the numbers, in my opinion. And, the editors job, in my opinion(again), is not only to correct gramatical and spelling errors, but to make the articles more readable and to make them look better.

Ermmmm, I had no clue about the BBcode.


I used the search function; and made the settings, as posts, posted by Vasco, made in the past week. Then i scanned through every post on the first page. I had no clue at all about the BB code being findable.




I r unhappy.

I agree with the achievements and whatnot list.

This:
7.5 Subs
Vasco
Qwert
Xeta

69 Subs
Fililp

Looks much better than this:
7.5 Subs
1 Vasco
2 Qwert
3 Xeta

69 Subs
1 geezerguy

In my opinion, they shouldn't need to be numbered.

Personally, I think I should edit.

Not really, but I'm pretty good at it, so if Volke or TV are not Available, I'll do it

I seriously don't care between the two. They both do a great job.

^You missed out the stars that are needlessly put next to all of the usernames:

Postingachievement:

geezerguy (***)
lolwho (***)
David(************)


The stars just look messy, and I see that the number aren't actually needed ; Just put the username without the stars next to them. The stars are pointless, anyway.
