    <body>Yep, the Off-topic forums have active moderators. AlisonClaire, Frogmanex, FuzzyBacon and Gevock appear to be the most active here (arcaneCoder, also, though he hasn't been on nearly as much lately, it seems). So yeah, from what I've seen it's actually been more moderated over the past month than it's ever been.

bq. I see at least 5 violations of the posted rules, and I just browsed for 5 minutes! 

It changes on situation, I suppose. The Off-topic forums tends not to be as strict as some of the other forums here, due to its nature. 

Just make sure to 'flag posts'. From my experience, the forum mods are pretty good about taking care of things. If you feel a post really needs to be removed, and you've already flagged but haven't gotten a response in a while, try to find one of them in chat. Otherwise, you can just ignore it.</body>

    <body>400005 posts. You guys are such fun killers.

Oh wait.

But yeah, I'm still waiting for the Off-topic forums to reach that 1000000 mark. We've got a while to go but the forums (like the site) are growing and growing every day, so it's only a matter of time.</body>

    <body>Hm. Well there are plenty of bad games, most of which you'll never played. But I think this game is the worst:

http://www.kongregate.com/games/inXile_Ent/fantastic-contraption-prius-edition?acomplete=fantast

Simply because it's such a let down. Fantastic Contraption was a phenomenal game, but it's sequel was just horrible, imo. But at least you can still play the original, which is so much fun.</body>

    <body>I'll try to sneak a vote in here. I really like these quite a bit. :)

1st - Oboe_Passion - I just liked this one a lot. It's really original and unlike any signatures I've seen so far in this forum. Most signatures I see are pretty similar to the next, but this was really creative.

2nd - yuyuter - Loved the yellows and blues. Bright, attractive colors are my favorite part of signatures, and you nailed it for me. The only thing I didn't like were the couple of light beams over the figure.

3rd - rawismojo - This one was good also. The text placement seemed nice and I like how the player was position. Didn't really like the two white streaks at the bottom, though.

And that's it.</body>

    <body>bq. But seriously, the thread is already ridiculously useless and laughable, it&#8217;s worth one epic fail.

I value his post over your 'epic fail' post. He's actually trying to point out something he's concerned about, and you're only being rude and grilling him for it (like usual). It's more your fail than his. 

Anyway, it's not a glitch. It's nice that they let you switch, though it would be nice if you could still use your avatar (perhaps with the blood splatter/border). I'd be still be a zombie if that were the case.</body>

    <body>It looks as if Obama may have made a mistake there.

IMPEACH IMPEACH IMPEACH

He's going to make mistakes. There's a lot of pressure put on him and I don't think it's okay that he's getting grilled so often, when usually the people grilling him aren't doing it because they're concerned but rather because they dislike him (and usually for the wrong reasons, also).</body>

    <body>Most people who know me would know what score I'd give this song. I didn't bothering listening through the whole song since I've heard it many, many times before. Since it's Modest Mouse.

But its an awesome song, indeed. And Modest Mouse _is_ the sort of band that you need to listen through the whole song, since they change so frequently. In their library of songs and within each song itself (though their latest album sort of had the same feel most of the time, I admit).

So 8/10, I'll give it. It's not one of their amazing songs but it's still really good.

Here's mine. It's from Muse's new album The Resistance, which I bought even though I can't stand the band. It's weird.

It's my favorite song from the album right now.</body>

    <body>Uh, I guess it depends on what type of animal I'd be. There are certain animals I wouldn't be so thrilled about being, like krill. Who would want to be a krill? Or some sort of extremely endangered animal that is frequently hunted for. That would build in a strong sense of paranoia from day one, I suppose.

If I were an animal I'd like to be a house cat, so I could lay around all day and do whatever I want. The only down side would be a lack of private parts, I suppose. Or I'd be an eagle, since it would be amazing to fly around up in the sky all day.

The other option is of course a Pokemon. Since Pokemon are obviously three to eight times more exciting than the average animal, they're really the only good choice. The difficult part would be choosing which Pokemon to be.

    <body>bq. What I am telling you Saint, is that there is no 100% logical justification for rights

But it's worked pretty well in the past, right? I mean, thriving for equal rights has been driving positivity in the past. So perhaps its safe to work off of a good track record.</body>

&lt;p&gt;What I am telling you Saint, is that there is no 100% logical justification for rights&lt;/p&gt;

    <body>Okay, well I guess that sounds fairly simple. I guess the biggest problem Gevock was mentioning is that some users get angry or react badly when there posts are deleted, and I can sort of understand why. On the other hand, they shouldn't have been spamming in the first place. 

It's always sad to see good threads locked, especially when they were original topics. Because that's one of the best parts of OT, original topics.</body>

    <body>Yeah, Kongregate is growing a lot. It's been hitting new highs of users online frequently over the past couple of months. I've found this particularly strange since I always assumed summer was when sites got their largest activity booms. 

But yeah, new rooms are being created all over the place now, which is a good thing. There are still more to come, I believe. All with moderator room owners, so no 'jimgreer' rooms yet!

There have been a lot of new features, so new users are joining. If you look at Kongregate five months ago to right now, it's changed quite a lot in a small time.</body>

    <body>UzumakiNaruto brings up a good point, though, about how important or strong the thread is. I suppose it can also depend on the thread quality.

For instance, if this thread were to be hijacked with a couple pages of spam, I'd really rather not have it locked because of a couple of people trolling. It would be better that those posts be removed and the thread would continue, since there seems to be no point in restarting a thread because of a couple of hijackers.

I think this could say the same for larger threads that stick around for a fairly long time doing well, only to be hijacked by a couple of people. 

I mean, if the thread was slowly and slowly sinking down into spam, then it seems like it ought to just be shut down. But if it's a strong thread that's hit by a couple of spammers, I don't think that's really very fair.

    <body>Fun Ultra Chaotic Kongregate International Tournament

____

I like Frogmanex's and Techyworms. And fgfgfg's is good, though I think it would be better if it spelled out some else that fits with a tournament.

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone! :)</body>

    <body>Okay, so before I start I'll make some notes for this discussion, basically close to what googoolyeye said in his recent post.

- make images small
- make images relevant
- make images appropriate
- don&#8217;t overuse images
- accompany text if off-discussion
- keep them from derailing thread

I think those were the largest points made in this discussion. I think it's safe to draw the line for when it's funny and when it's just spam.

Onto our next discussion which Gevock brought up earlier. 

_____________________

In the Off-topic forums, often when it's a sillier or less specific thread it starts getting derailed. What I believe Gevock wants to know is *when do you, as a user, prefer posts to be removed vs. the thread being locked?* 

I also thinks its a good chance to discuss derailment in general, which like I said is fairly common in the Off-topic forums. :p</body>

It's last post was 20 hours ago so it's still got a while to go before it's qualified as dead, unless flyingman decides he doesn't want to continue the game.

Otherwise, it's worthy of a lock if it hasn't been posted in in a week, or it hasn't been posted in in a week by it's host (flyingman).

But thanks for mentioning that. I'll keep an eye on the game. :)</body>

    <body>bq. You would be neither then :O So basically you would be a living mannequin.

Like in Doctor Who, I suppose. Or like in the one episode of Twilight episode that was particularly creepy and less outdated.

But yeah, on topic, I would live on life like nothing had never happened. It would be extremely traumatic and drastically change my life, but I guess there isn't really anything I could do about it, other than a sex change. I wouldn't really see the point, either. The last couple of people I've known that was transgender lived pretty tough lives simply because of the sex change, and I would rather stick with altered gender than go through that. :P

I'm hoping the testosterone/estrogen levels would be altered as well. It would be strange being a female with such high levels of testosterone, and low levels of estrogen.</body>

I suppose it could be if you wrapped it up with something including tournament, you simply have to be creative. Like for your first suggestion, &quot;Endless War&quot;, it could be:

&quot;Endless War: The Off-topic Competition&quot;
&quot;The Endless War, An Off-topic Competition of Speed, Endurance, and Boredom&quot;

(that last one might be a bit long, actually)
But yeah, the mention of 'Off-topic' and 'Tournament' can go in either the main title or the subtitle. It really depends.

&lt;p&gt;^ Would be willing to bribe you for that (semi-negotiable on changing bits)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;On srs note:&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8220;[Tournament] There Can Be Only One (Forumer Remaining)&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I like that, and I like the first one, too. ;)
Though, the Team America theme song might be a bit unfair to everybody outside of the United States.

I also really like this one. Short and sweet.

    <body>That OVERTIME is a spy!

As for creating topics, I think it really depends on how good you actually want the topic to be. If you want to make a topic for the purpose of making a topic, it probably won't be that difficult for you to think of something. On the other hand, if you actually want to make a _good_ topic, that will take a little more though.

The type of topics that last long are the ones that the most people will be interested in, obviously, and that people feel they can and want contribute to. Sort of like the Ultimate Photo Topic. :P

The rest of the long-lasting topics are things like The Council which aren't one topic but rather a congregation of topics/some sort of group.</body>

    <body>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;cite&gt;Originally posted by &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href='/forums/2/topics/63722?page=1#posts-1436684'&gt;sportsmaster19&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;What is this tournament about?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Edited that in to the OP. There isn't much a 'theme' to it, though you could say the majority of the games are 'endurance' themed, matching the Stride contest, though I think pairing them might not be the best idea, as some of the chosen games don't fit into that category.

(yay for run-on sentences!)</body>

    <body>The tournament is coming up and instead of coming up with something with Frogmanex and/or googoolyeye, I think it would be best that the Off-topic forums get to decide what the tournament be named. So I would like to ask you guys what _you_ would like as a name.

Anything works, as long as it isn't too long to fit into one banner. Needless to say, try to keep it PG-13.

Any other suggestions are also welcome. Any games or theme/style choice suggestions will definitely be considered, as we're still in the creation phase.

The tournament is pretty basic. It's a simply elimination challenge with a new game to compete on every couple of days. It will be similar to some of the large-scale tournaments in the Kongregate forums like The Gauntlet, except it will be confined to the OT forums and it's regs.</body>

    <body>This is old news, Toaster. :P

But yeah, I suppose it was pretty epic. That's quite a lot of people getting rick rolled at one time, and many of them not knowing what's going on. I still think it's hilarious that Rick Astley actually bothered to do this, and that the creators of that cartoon were okay with it.</body>
