Quote by dslasseyYeah, we;ll have to do more planning on this musical/anime highlight before we implement it. We should really run it by the others, to see what they have to say.
We're not gonna start the Lister's Choice until we have more members, ya know. It'd make more sense. P=

Working together is the shite, ne?

I'm not working on one.... much too busy to even start one. I was just expressing my desire to have a new one.

Oh, oh, I've got and idea! How about 'Art Chart'?! Sounds cheesy, I know, but it works!
Can we make an announcement and ask the members if they want an anime/film review section? Maybe some members will agree and even want to contribute. It would be a good thing to have an interactive group, not just the admins running things and members posting... Just my two cents.

If you want, I can make you a UP I've got lots of time and don't plan to wall, plus I'm back in the 'skinning' business.

Quote by dslasseyYeah, but we can't call it Billboard-something-or-other, because Billboard would techincally be able to sue us for copyright infringement.... So we need to come up with a name for our own Music Chart. P:

Like, movie musicals, or theatrical musicals? o:
You should probably ask Saku or something. She wanted me to drop my Band Highlight in favor of the Listener's Choice, but I refused to drop Band Highlight (it was one of the reasons I started the group in the firdt place). But yeah, it seems I have too much say in the group, so you best ask the others. I hate making decisions...

Nah, I think I'll just drop the project. I have an other, better idea that is using a song from the same band. But first, I'll be doing a different one. :3

HOW COULD YOU STEAL MY USERPAGE COLORS!? YOU BETRAYED ME!
Nah, that's okay. I don't care really... and I really wanna change it.

I shall go research the matter There HAS to be a word/phrase depicting both music and art!
Any kind of musicals! The more, the merrier, right?
And I don't think we should drop any of the two, especially since they're both good ideas. Come on, other groups complain about not having any ideas and we have too many! Anyway, we'll have the 'Band Highlight' changed once in two weeks and the 'Listener's Choice' will be held once a month. I think it's not too complicated and we can handle it.

I sense the boss wants to rebel against his 'subordinates'... We'll work it out somehow, don't worry. Let's all work together and it will be much easier!

I wanna see your new UP! Make it fast :3 Or else...Can't think of a good threat right now, I'll get back at ya I dost not betray thou, thy UP colors are pretty and require to be stolen (I love this old English)!

Quote by dslasseyI dunno if Anja saw my message asking for them or not. Either she's taking her time, or she forgot I asked. P= Oh well, we don't really need them right this minute anyway.
Because it's a list with the best on it, the whole thing reminded me of a music chart, like the Billboard 200 or something. If we went with the something like that, we could call the three featured wallpapers: "The #1 Spot", "The #2 Spot", and "The #3 Spot" respectively.

Yeah, Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch is about music. I hate that series so much though. I have some of the manga.... good thing I didn't spend my own money on it. P=
Some music related ones that I really like are Nodame Cantabile (sp?), BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad, and Nana. There has to be more. But again, there aren't too many, so my first concern rears its ugly head: What happens when we run out of series to feature?

Not quite what I need, but thanks for helping. I need an anime spout of water from a fountain. I can't vector real water for shit, so I need something to base it off of. :/

It sounds interesting, I think we can use it! It would be a more original way to promote artwork and we don't copy any other group's idea either!

MMPPP doesn't appeal to me either, it's got too much shoujo stuff in it I couldn't stand watching it. But some of the members might like it, and it features music. So, we might write a small paragraph about it in lack of series... Here are some more, this is what we have now: BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad, Gravitation, Kiniro no Corda, Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch, Nana, Nodame Cantabile and Princess Tutu.

Not too long That's what I found before I got too bored and gave up looking. I was thinking, how about we review musicals after we're done with anime series? After all, they do feature music...

Why don't you look for a tutorial to paint water? That should be easier than vectoring it... I searched but I couldn't find any good ones, only stuff I find are real fountains, so sorry for not being able to help.

P.S. I ripped your UP theme colors :3

Quote by dslasseyMy internet is behaving itself today.... but for how long, I cannot say. >3>
Okay, I'll go bug Anja to make more (she likes doing it, so 'bug' isn't the right term ). I've been thinking about the Artwork Highlight, too. I wanted to call it something flashy (similar to how dark-wallies has 'Highdarkened), but I guess just "Artwork Highlight" sounds good. As for the "Anime Highlight", what exactly do you have in mind? Because there's not a whole lot of series that focus around music. It'd just be a shame if we ran out of series to highlight, y'know? Especially if people looked forward to that one particular section.
I'm not too popular around MT either.
But I'm gonna try my best to get people to join! *salutes*

YAY for promo wallie. I'm kinda working on two, simultaniously. One has come across a problem, for I need a water spout aiming upwards - the type of spout from a fountain. I can't find any to vector, so that one's been put on hold.

Woohoo! Can't wait to see them , the group needs love! <3
Hmmm.... I guess we could call it something flashy, just have to think of something that relates both to art and music And we could change it whenever we find something worthy of mention.

As for the anime, there are a few anime series focusing on music:
- Kiniro no Corda (I've heard it's recent)
- Princess Tutu (music heavily influenced by classical European music)
- Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch (the characters sing a lot, or so I've heard -yeah, I know it's girly but it has to do with music, right? )
..and I'm sure there are many more, I'll hunt them down and make a list :3

As for the water thingy, I looked on SXC and found these: http://www.sxc.hu/browse.phtml?f=search&txt=water+fountain+splash&w=1&x=0&y=0 Maybe it's what you need?

Quote by dslasseyHey there! Sorry that it's taken me so long to do group-related stuff. My internet keeps dying. It's been doing it like... every other day, and when it dies, it's out for 24 hours. Real pain in the ass. -____-

But anyway, I've started recruiting some people, and I started that Announcement/thread. Hopefully people respond, you know? =D

Oh, and if I'm ever gone for a long period of time, you know why.... >.>

Aw, come on! That's not fair. What "better" time could your Internet connection pick to screw things up?
About the group, we're gonna need some extra banners soon, what with the 'Affiliates' section and all. 'Artwork highlight' too, if you want to have it as a section. And "featured anime"? I know I'm bothering you, but you're the boss
I'll try to invite some members *isn't that popular around MT *

more power to us!

Sure, consider our groups affiliated! Indeed, more power to us! :3

Quote by SwEeT-MiKuetto.. I was asking, If you could make me a layout? And, do you know how to color doujins?

Sure, just follow the rules I stated on my UP under the 'Requests' section

Quote by SwEeT-MiKuah, can we also affilliate and

Sure, I already added your groups to my groups' pages. I'd e happy if you did the same Thanks again!

Quote by SwEeT-MiKuwhat is the grou about? seems interesting, though

Well, you dropped y when we didn't have content up, but now there is some content! It's a group which welcomes fans of music and art. Please join if you like these! Hope to see you at !

Thank you so much! We need support, now that the group is at its beginning
Sure, what is it?

Quote by dslasseyLook, it's me again, come to feast on your brain! NOMNOMNOMNOM

Okay, enough with that.... >.>

Hey, with the Staff section, I think you should rename Ori-chan's name as... well, Ori-chan. Only logical, seeing how named me "Dev" instead of dslassey, and you as "Pande" instead of pandemonium91. P=

I asked Anja what she wants to be called.... so I should know soooooon.

And I already said all that other stuff in the email (gosh, I must seem like a stalker, durhurhur).

Ok, I modified her hame to 'Saku' I put in the user names because I didn't whether they would like to have another name displayed, so I left it up to them to modify it if they wish. Just didn't want to be impolite, I don't want to offend anyone

You're too stalkish for your own good And yes, me and Ori are soooo 'good' to you 'cause you deserve it, being the main admin and stuff :3 *coughwhoknowswaytoolittleaboutgroupscough*

Quote by ErdbeermilchHey there, we haven't talked that extensivley yet but as we're admins in the same group now I thought the least I could do is drop by and say hello.
Also thanks so much for making the group layout and button, I think they look great.
I also performed my first act as an admin (evil laugh) today and set your status to group admin, hope you don't mind.
See you around.

Hello! I'm glad to finally talk to you, seeing as we're colleagues! I didn't really make the layout, I just re-sliced it. Gotta take credit for that button, though
Thank you for naming me as an admin, I added the 'Staff' section just for the sake of it :3 Hope it's ok!
Let's make this group grow together!

Quote by dslasseySacrificing yourself in what way? (that could be taken in such a dubious way )

The word 'sacrifice' kinda reminds me of a scene in Moonlight Lady...which is hentai *ahem*

Quote by dslasseyWhy are you so good to me? =D *glomp*

I'm good to all the members of the group, not only you You're too spoiled.

Quote by dslasseyGood, because I'd rather not see it either (I hope you don't think I'm being serious ).

*jaw drops* Oh, so you weren't being serious... O-k.... Though I bet you'd look cute if you dressed in a nurse costume for cosplay! Both the guys and girls would want to take pictures of you and if you ever become a politician/star they'd blackmail you with them

Quote by dslasseyI saw a good GuoGuo scan I would've liked to vector, but it's way beyond my skill level.

Hey, come on! I support you! Even if it's a lost cause... Err, that didn't come out right o_O Anyway, why not give it a go? You've got nothing to lose, right?

Watch any good films recently? I just finished watching El Orfanato[ for the second time and understood it better than the first time. It's really good, not just your typical ghost story!

*joins Ori in laughter* Humankind is just so mean, they laugh at other people!
But I just can't help it! *rolls on the floor laughing* Rice Cake sounds cutesy when said out loud!

Quote by dslasseyYou sure you don't want to be an admin? You could be my code master (the only other admin who knows codes is Ori-chan, but I don't think she ever made a layout for a group...). Anja and I are horrible with coding. I can barely get by with the color codes for CSS. P:
But if that's your decision, then We'll manage.

Neah, it's alright. I'll be and admin (lol this sounds like I'm sacrificing myself!)

Quote by dslasseyAlrighty! Oh, and if ya wanna practice with the new layout, just but "dev." before minitokyo in the link. So it'd be:
http://dev.minitokyo.net/

For a userpage, you need to do this:
http://dev.pandemonium91.minitokyo.net/

And for a group, you need to do this:
http://dev.depths-of-sound.minitokyo.net/

Easy, no?

Eh... @_@ Those links don't work for me, they all lead to a 'forbidden' page. Told ya I'm not a beta tester, maybe I can't see the new layout because of that

Quote by dslasseyIt's not in your inbox? That's odd.
Alrighty, I'll email them to you. Slices 6 and 7 don't look like they need to be used (they're just gray lines the same color as the background). But if ya do work them in, remember that 7 goes wear 6 should go and vise versa. I have no idea why Anja labeled them that way, but whatever. P:
And nope, we have no group button. You can make one if ya want. Just make sure it matches the layout. P: (could just crop part of the layout xD)

Oh, no problem with the slices if they're similar, I'll just count them in as the main background color
Sure, I'll make one (maybe a few) and post them on your UP and discuss which one is best.

Quote by dslassey
Lol I wanna see that What color is it?

I don't have any pictures. Besides, me being a boy would probably look discustingly creepy in a typical anime nurse outfit. And, seeing how it's typical, it's probably a pastel pink. xD

X-P You're right, I don't wanna see it, I'm not a fan of pastel pink. Kinda reminds me of the Crossover contest down at Vectory

Oh, and thanks a lot for the comment and fav on my GuoGuo wallie! *glomps* ^___^ I ish happy.

Quote by DevYeah, but you're gonna be an admin for the group anyway. I though we decided on that. =P

Meh, I don't mind if I'm a mod, being an admin is kinda scary If you're a mod you can't screw up a lot of stuff, whereas if you're an admin and mess up the group page everyone blames you XP But I'm not one to complain, it hasn't happened to me (yet)!

Quote by DevThe coding is of the current one. I doubt the next one is ready, so we decided on making a simple, yet fantastic layout for the group. :B

Great! I already have the coding from my groups, so it'll e easier. Just need to do some tweaking and it'll be ready!

Quote by DevDid you get the PM I sent you that contained the files and such? Or do you want me to host each individual slice? (might take longer for me, because I have mega slow internet).

Nope, didn't get it. Can you send me the slices via e-mail? I can host them on my Photobucket account. You know what files I'll need, but I'll write them again just in case: slices 1-5 (I use only 5 slices on my groups but I'll try and fit the other ones in as well), the image for tables and the one for menus. If you don't already have a button, I can make one

Quote by DevWhat's the scan from?

It's from GuoGuo, I love that person's art! +_+

Quote by DevSince I changed my RPG status to it on some now-dead forum. Plus, the nurse outfit makes me look cute. =^.^=

Lol I wanna see that What color is it?

Quote by dslasseyI have no idea why I get to have all the fun. =P

Big problem got in my way Pande. You might be able to help that would be a super large contribution to the group. Mainly writing the freaking layout (I am so pissed that I thought it was built like a userpage skin). If I give ya the slices, you think you could writi it and set it? I'll PM ya the link to the slices and the link to the group in case you say YES. When ya join, I'll be making you an admin.

Well, I don't really need the link to the group, I can test the layout on one of the groups I'm an admin of. Only the links to the images. I'll try my best. I do have a question though: is the coding still the old one or is it new? New as in for the next version of the MT layout. If it's for the next... I don't know if I can do it. I'm not a beta tester so I'll only be able to write for the current format.

Quote by dslasseyEDIT: Oh, Erdbeermilch (I call her Anja so I'll just address her as such) mentioned that slices #6 and #7 need to be switched around. So Slice # 6 goes in the place where #7 usually goes and vise versa. Confused me, but whatever. :B

@_@ I get what you're saying, but can't that be arranged by switching the URL's of the images in the coding...? Anyway, I'll take a look at it once you send me the links. And one more question: do I need to take care of the entire code or modify an already existing one? Just asking

Quote: dslassey]D-did you vector that!? o_O
That's a very pretty wallpaper. I like it lots.

No way! I'm not that crazy I just used some textures and the scan was pretty high quality on its own. But I'm glad you like it Maybe I'll submit it later!

I was wondering where you wandered off to. >.>
Glad you're back though *huggles*

He had them for free for the longest time. It was my little secret hangout of pervy stuffz (DURR HURR). Stupid bastard had to go and do what he did! >:0

I have been fantastic. I went to Anime Expo for 2 days (I wanted to go for 4, but couldn't). Oh, and if ya don't know, Anime Expo is the largest convention in North America. And it's held in Southern California. Boy am I glad I'm Californian. P:

The group is almost up. xD
Just waiting on Erdbeermilch to send a response to a question. She made a pretty sweet layout, so it's almost up and ready. If you'd have been here, you could've been more involved with the group's creation. Because I can no longer be concidered the founder. Ori-cha, Erdbeermilch, and I pretty much had an equal part in the group's development. Ori-chan came up with the name, as well as some content ideas and such; Erdeermilch came up with the layout and chose the final title from the list Ori-chan made, and I kinda... came up with the idea for the group. :B

Damn, I wish there were more conventions here too *jealous* Why do you get to have all the fun anyway? There are very few conventions here, since anime barely got here. There's only one channel which airs anime series (and only between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m.), and there's another one which airs only Naruto... Otherwise I have to download anime or see it online.

T_T I feel so lazy and left out. I wish I could have participated more, but I'll be the fiercest mod or admin this planet has ever seen! +_+

I am so stealing the format on your page concerning personal info :3

I might submit a wallie soon, but I don't know if it's good enough... What do you think, is it OK?

I wouldn't bother with the site. You can only preview the titles that the guy has archived. To view any pages, you need to donate to him. It used to be 100% free, but I guess he's bee having troubles with hosts and such.

Quote by Sakura-DustSi eu trec a 11-a
Sunt la Onicescu... nu cred ca ai auzit de el, e un liceu mai retras, nepopular, dar e foarte aproape de mine (20 min mers) ceea ce ador <3
Sunt destui roamani dar au account-uri vechi si nu le folosesc. Iar despre barfa... oricum nu poti sa te abtii :3
Iar despre UP... habar n-am ce sa fac, ce sa folosesc... gimme yours
Voiam sa fac ceva cu Light din DN. Dar nush ce O_o"
Help? :3

Hm, nu-mi vine in minte acum... Dar sigur am auzit de el, de asta pot sa te asigur. Si Mishu e cam la 20 minute de mine, numai ca mers cu tramvaiul... Pe jos imi ia mai mult de jumatate de ora.
Daca vrei iti fac eu un UP! Stiu ca scrie ca nu mai accept requests dar se pare ca layout-ul nou o sa mai intarzie, deci nu-i o problema Light ar arata destul de bine!

Quote by Sakura-DustIdeea mea a fost Sound-Artists. Se pare ca tocmai adminul sef e clueless.
Ah, ce-mi place ca pot sa barfesc o persoana si respectiva habar n-are :3 minunile limbii noastre
UP meu e primul facut de mine, deci e kinda sucky. Ma bucur ca-ti plac culorile <3 O sa-l schimb cat de curand, nu-mi prea place quality-ul imaginilor. O sa folosesc si eu vectori...
Vad ca te pricepi, esti la vreun liceu de arta sau pur si simplu stii sa asortezi culorile?

O, suna bine! Admin-ul ar trebui sa se gandeasca si el, dar presupun ca el cheltuieste credits ca sa faca grupul propriu-zis si skin-ul, asa ca noi moderatorii ar trebui sa ne gandim la nume si la ce altceva ar mai trebui
Ador ca nu prea multi vorbesc romana pe-aici E cam nedrept sa vorbesti despre o persoana asa dar cine zice ca nu e distractiv?
Cred ca arata destul de bine imaginile, am vazut si mai rau. Singura chestie care ma sacaie e banner-ul ala mare care acopera skin-ul la rezolutiile mai mici. Eu am o rezolutie relativ mare (1440x900) si pot sa vad toata imaginea, insa am avut si rezolutii mai mici si reclamele alea enervante acopera toata partea de sus! E ca si cum ar fi header-ul paginii
Nu, nu-s la un liceu de arta Doar ca imi place aproape tot ce are legatura cu arta! Apropo, sunt la Mihai Viteazul si chiar imi pare rau ca anul asta n-o sa mai am ora de arta (trec intr-a 11a) Nu prea ma dau in vant dupa culorile stridente, decat daca arata bine (de exemplu, combinatia rosu + albastru imi omoara ochii )
Apropo, nice gallery Sa le aratam strainilor ca si romanii se pricep la arta!

Quote by DevShawn of the Dead is funny! xD They totally make fun of all the re-used cliches in zmobie movies. I want to rent it agaon...

Well now I'm even more interested in it than I was before Gotta dig up some torrents!

Quote by DevI've never seen Psycho either.... nor do I know of the shower scene.
Yeah, good thing we didn't have internet back then..... wait, did youtube exist in 1999 or 2000?

I'm sure you know about it, it's really famous. Maybe you've heard about it, like me -I didn't actually see it, I just know it's there A woman's taking a shower with the curtains drawn and another woman (her mother-in-law?) comes up, wielding a knife (you can see her silhouette through the shower curtains), the woman in the shower screams and there's a close-up with some blood going down the drain, mixed with water. Plus there's that music (a classmate has it as a ringtone and it rang once during class, when it was pretty quiet It was a strange moment)
Don't know really, I think YouTube's "younger" than 1999 but I'm too lazy to check

Quote by DevI have to rent movies. First off, we got rid of TV 2 years ago, so I haven't seen a TV show in a long time. We just use the Television set to play video games and watch movies. I can't watch movies online because I'm still suffering through dial-up.... *sigh*
The Rental stores have movies that only go back as far as 2001? That's a shame. The one that I go to has movies way back from the 30's (digitally remastered of course. They got rid of all their VHS).
You know, when you said action movie about terrorists getting thawrted by the good guy, I immediately though of True Lies starring my Governer. =D

I wouldn't play video games on the TV even if I could, there's something about seeing those monsters in human proportions that disturbs me They're bad enough as it is.
Ah, I used to have dial-up too, I know how painful it is. You should get broadband, it's cheaper and more practical. I don't know if it's the same for you, ut when I had dial-up the phone didn't work and it cost a lot too, so it's anything but practical!
I'd like to have a store like that, though I find downloading better. I can see the films whenever I want to, as many times as I want to. I still have a few downloaded months ago that I haven't watched and don't know when I'm going to either
Hm, I think True Lies was on TV once, I don't remember it though... If you say it's typical, I won't bother to look for it

Quote by DevThat's what PMs are for, dear Pande. =P
Oooh, awesome find. I'll check that place out for some smut. :3

Hehe, PM me! :3 Don't you find it strange when people instantly label others as "abnormal" or "freaky" just because they watch hentai? I suppose it's because of that thing planted in everyone's minds: people who like hentai stuff are perverts and stalkers who will kill you or sell you to pimps if you're a young and attractive girl (or even guy ). It's a shame, not everyone's like that.
You're welcome Gotta spread the word, right?

Oh, if you don't want me to work for you we'll be in rival groups! Don't know if this makes things easier. What exactly do you plan to do if you conquer the world? There must be something grand if you want to rule over everyone

Quote by DevWhat's the actual resolution? Mine's 1024 x 768.

Well, it's 1440x900. I was disappointed when I saw this was the biggest widescreen one I have, I really wanted more space on the desktop. I have 4 standard ones (from 800x600 to 1280x960), plus 1280x1024 and 1280x768, but no more widescreen ones And just in case there are some "b"'s missing from words, it's my keyboard. It's old and has been through a lot...

Quote by DevSo what anime or manga do you like a lot that you'd like to see a wallpaper of? :3

Kaleido Star or Princess Tutu (don't laugh, PT is quite dark, despite its name). I won't put you through vectoring a b&w manga image, it's good enough that I get a gift *glomps* And it's up to you, whatever you think is fit

Quote by DevHow old was it? I know that Lovebirds can live 25-30 years, and he's 7. But because he's so healthy, I'm thinking he'll live until he's in his mid to late 30's.
We also feed out bird some chips every now in then. But I'd never imagine a cat liking chips. That just seems so strange to me. Lol, "garbage in". that's funny. =D

I think it was 5 or 6 years old. I never knew that pet birds can live that long, you won't be separated for a long time Yes, my cat eats chips. My dad usually says that if the dog or the cat eat something, it's good and we can eat it too. I'd never touch the dog or cat food though, I feel sick whenever I smell it. I don't know how animals can eat that stuff...

Quote by DevI've beta tested the new layout. I have my doubts that it'll be up in mid-july. I think that was an estimate. There's still a lot of kinks that need working out with a few browsers. Right now it's just tested on Firefox. With IE... it needs a lot of work. And once it's implemented, I won't be able to make my own layouts anymore.... by myself. It relies too heavily on CSS and HTML coding in my opinion.

Hm, it seems IE causes a lot of problems... I use Firefox and it's a lot better. And by "too heavy" you mean more than now? If so, I'm in trouble. I'm learning CSS and HTML along the way, not from a proper textbook or anything (my headmaster was supposed to give us some books on Web Design but Hell knows why they didn't arrive on time!). I've made a few stand-alone layouts but they're not as good as professional ones. I hope the coding won't be more difficult than on normal sites...

Quote by DevAnd I'm glad you're gonna help! Now the team has been formed. You, Sakura-Dust, Erdbeermilch, and I! WhooHoo! I just need to finish this Aniwood entry (I will get it done on time!) then I can get back to working on the layout. :B

No prob! I hope it will be active, it hurts to put a lot of work into a group and it to end up inactive I'll fight for it not to become so! *raises fist in heroic pose*
I'm curious to see your entry! There'll be some tough competition, from what I see! Of course, mine won't get too many votes because I made it too simple By the way, congrats for the prize in the DW contest, your wallie deserved to win! :3

And for your gift, I think I'm going to change it. I want to make something dark, with purple, because you said you like purple Any particular series in mind?

Quote by DevHighspeed is much more expensive her than dial-up. But I might be moving soon, which is why we haven't upgraded yet (seeing how hey ALWAYS make you sign contracts and stuff.

Speaking of having downloads ya haven't touched yet, I'm like that with music. I download so much (even though it takes kinda slow )

That sucks. I thought things were more expensive only here, but I guess I was wrong. Everyone in the press keeps saying that in the rest of Europe salaries are higher and prices lower than in Romania, and I guess it's true. Not that I've been out of the country yet to see for myself
I haven't been downloading music lately, I stick with what my classmate Nico gives me She likes house music and most of the stuff she sends me isn't to my liking but some are acceptable. I'm more into the "old" music -Depeche Mode, Pink Floyd etc. I can't say I like one band, I like a lot of songs from different bands.

Quote by DevOkiez, I'll PM ya.
Oh I hate it. They treat you like you're lepers or something. They think they are so high and mighty and that they never do anything wrong. The thing is, hentai isn't wrong. Every human has a sex drive, and different things.... are appealing to different people. Hentai is no different that pornography, and I'll bet you that most people has seen at least one pornographic image.

Thanks I think that in the mentality of Americans (no offense to you, in Romania anime still equals cartoons '), anime = animated porn. Just because there's a hentai OVA with tentacle rape upon a schoolgirl, anime "is" all the same. It's true that not all Americans are like that, but most of the ones who don't watch anime think so and it's sad. Maye even Romanians think so but I haven't heard anything like that yet.
Hm, I bet a lot of underage kids have seen porn. Haven't people learned that the more inaccessible something is, the more people want it? My dad lets me watch erotic scenes (not porn) because he says "hey, let her learn", and I agree with it. Ratings are more of a general guideline and since some kids mature sooner than others, nobody's stopping them from watching above-their-age-rated films.

Quote by DevI Wanna do something similar to what Big Boss was doing in the Metal gear games. Aiming towards creating a nation for soldiers of fortune. A military nation that is super duper better than everyone else! WHOOOOT! >:3
You?

OK... pardon my nosiness, but who are you supposed to fight when your army's ready? Surely you're building an army to fight someone.
Me, I don't know what I'd do. Maybe fight you

Quote by DevI only have one moniter. o.O

Lol no, I meant I have 4 standard resolutions available, not 4 monitors I have only one monitor and it's widescreen.

Quote by DevWhat's b&w? That's a term I'm not familiar with...
Aaaaaaaaand, I dunno when I'll get to your gift. See, I've been co-illustrating a kid's book my mom wrote. I'm nearly finished with it, but I really wanted to enter Aniwood, so mom's giving me time off from the book so that I can finish my entry in time. Once I'm finished, however, I have to get straight back to the book with no side-projects.

b&w = black & white. I'm too lazy to write the whole thing.
Hey, it's no problem. Important stuff first, then gifts If you're busy it's best you get that stuff out of your way, relax for a while and then get back to walling. Good luck in all your projects!

Quote by DevIt matters the type of bird. Some birds live longer than others. Like those big Parrots can live 80-90 years. I know that an African Gray Parrot can live well into it 100s.
Well, cats and dogs can'r eat chocolate or they get sick.... so I dunno how accurate that could be. But I agree with ya, dog food and cat food smells discusting.

Wow, I wouldn't get a parrot like that. It would outlive me, even if it were born before me I don't think they would live as much in captivity, nothing beats the natural environment. As for chocolate, it's true, if cats or dogs eat a lot of it they can die.

Quote by DevFrom what I saw of the "Skin Builder" there are two options. One is a banner upload box, and the other is a large text field that says "CSS coding" above it. I already told Mr. Admin about how it's not as user friendly as the current system. Maybe he'll rework or something, I dunno. Oh, and then there's an HTML customization like there is now.

So there are 3 options for creating a layout? Sounds more difficult than regular user page building, it's almost as difficult as group pages In spite of all this, it might be a good thing because it lets us customize more stuff. I will miss the fields for colors when/if they're gone

Quote by DevIf it's anything like how Dark-wallies is, then I'll be happy. But I think it should do okay, considering how it's not too specialized. It's a club for everyone, because everyone listens to music while they work (unless they don't. But they could still join if they listen to music ).
Oh, thankies! I entered not expecting to win at all. I can't believed I tied for first. And with Chloe! WOW, she's an amazing wallpaper artist. O_O

Agreed, DW is so active! I envy it. It's by far the most active group I've seen on MT so far
Hey, you deserved it. Your wallie was kickass!

Quote by DevHmmmm, I don't watch or read enough anime and manga lately. But I guess my all time fave series would be R.O.D the TV, Shrine of the Morning Mist, The Wallflower (manga, not anime), Strawberry Panic (yuri yumminess).
Kind of in that order too. :B

I watched a bit of R.O.D. too, on and off. I'll look for some pics, unless you already have some in mind Just finished a vector so I'll be working on that infamous dark wallie I've been threatening everyone with
And if you like yuri, I'd recommend watching Moonlight Lady (Kao no nai Tsuki) or Bible Black. They're both hentai and you'll find lots of yuri in them, especially in BB!

By the way, what music do you listen to? I prefer rock mostly, but not that "let's-scream-without-a-reason thing

Quote by Sakura-DustUP tau este absolut adorabil <3
Ador Beast Master, din pacate nu mai adauga capitole dupa 6, desi manga este on-going
Daca nu mi-ar fi atat de lene m-as apuca si eu sa-mi fac un UP cu Beast Master
Sorry pentru vizita ciudata, voiam sa zic ceva dar am si uitat cand ti-am vazut UP...

Wow, asta da compliment! Nu mi-a mai zis nimeni pana acum ca le place UP'ul meu Multumesc mult, chiar mi-a placut sa-l fac Pacat ca Beast Master nu e prea cunoscut, e foarte sweet! Chiar vreau mai multe capitole!

Quote by Sakura-DustVoiam sa te intreb daca ai vreo idee de nume pentu grupul despre muzica?

Nu prea ma pricep eu la dat nume Ma gandesc ca ar trebui sa fie legat si de muzica, si de arta (wallpapere/vectors), dar nu-mi vine ceva concret in minte acum... Artistic Melody? Suna cam pretentios Sau Visual Sound? Nu prea am inspiratie acum... Tu te-ai gandit la vreun nume? (apropo, sper sa ne intelegem bine, o sa lucram in aceeasi echipa *shakes hands*)

merged: 06-24-2008 ~ 01:08pm
Apropo, UP'ul tau este tare, imi plac culorile! Parca sunt vii si pastelate in acelasi timp (nu prea are sens dar asa am impresia )

Quote by DevI saw Shawn of the Dead. Can I use that as a replacement for Night of the Living Dead? P:

You wanna know what really scared the crap out of me? The House on Haunted Hill or whatever it was called. That night when I was taking a shower (no naughty thoughts, pande ), my brother came into the bathroom and started flicking the lights on and off. I really screamed like a girl. That was when i was... like 9. But now no horror movie freaks me out. I'm become immune! >:3

Oh, Child's Play was hilariously cheesy. The second one was even worse.

I'm into most every kind of movie... except for those really dumb comedies that deal with how low class a lot of America is (you know which ones I'm talkin' about).
But for favorite genres, I'd have to say military/political thrillers are always good. But I'm watching a movie or two that I've never seen every night. So I've been watching a ton of movies lately.

Never seen Shawn of the Dead, planning to. I've heard it's kind of a parody of the zombie genre, don't know if I really want to watch it but I'll give it a shot.

No naughty thoughts indeed Whenever I hear the word "shower" I think of that scene in Psycho, even though I haven't seen the film! It's like my Spanish teacher said when we were talking about Don Quixote and discussing some pictures from the book: "you all know it's from Don Quixote, even though nobody read it" But yeah, your brother's mean for doing that. Look on the bright side, he could've posted it on YouTube

I don't even want to watch the second one, I kept laughing and asking myself, "Hell, this doll's better than Terminator! It never dies no matter how much you squish it, stomp on it or tear it to pieces!"

Wow, you sound almost like me! I don't watch that many films a day but I sure have over 100 on my list. It's too bad that they never air them on TV and some of them are hard to find on the Internet, let alone going to DVD rental stores where the oldest ones are from 2001 ' Most things they show on TV are crappy action flicks, the type with some terrorist who plans to kill a lot of people but gets stopped by the hero in the nick of time *yawns*

Quote by DevThere used to be this place where you could read and save individual hentai scans for free. I tried going there like a week ago, and the dude is making you become a member to see some, and pay to see all of them. It's a shame, because a lot of the cover pages make good wallpapers. And it's a chance to find high quality art for smaller series or obscure titles. And this title pages are even work friendly! D:

Cool! I'll look for some sites like that, I don't know if you're allowed to post the link here, since it's hentai
But you can find a lot of smut manga on MangaFox and some are really well-drawn! Like the works of Shinjo Mayu, the bishounen there are HOT! *fangirl moment* You need to register to see some but most are available without registration.

Quote by DevI'd be able to overthrow you because I am cool like that. :3
Ah, so you'd be kinda running things from the background? Sounds like fun. People think of you as a minor enemy, but you're really the person who's coordinating all of the evil plans!
This cough medicine could be poison! YOU WANT TO BETRAY ME! D<

I don't know yet because I don't know what you'd like, hurr hurr. Hints might help me though. :B
As for me, I'm happy with anything. :B Dark, light, it doesn't matter. But if you were to make a wallpaper, it'd be better being dark. my eyes are sensitive to bright bright things. That doesn't mean I don't like light colored things. :3
Late sleeper? You got that right! It's 3 am and I ain't even tired!

I love animals. At several points in my life, I wanted to work in an animal related field, lol. And I have one pet. A little Peach-faced Lovebird. But he's more like family than a pet. We kinda treat him like a person. He's rarely in his cage. He's usually hanging out with anyone he perches on. He also eats people food. Nothing junky though. Only fruits and veggies, and sometimes to pretzels are crackers.... and cereal.... and oatmeal....

Oh, and are you into music? I'm gonna be starting an art/music group. It's main theme is: How music inspires our art, and fuels our creativity. I've asked Sakura-Dust and Erdbeermilch if they want to be moderators. SD already accepted that offer as the gallery mod, and I'm hoping Erdbeermilch will agree as well. If she does, then I need one more moderator! Would you be interested? I'm designing the skin now, so the group won't be up until I finish that..... and figure out how to actually do things once I click the "Create Group" button.

I think I have a thing for background work. You know, pulling the strings in secret and stuff. I'd also be able to retreat if something goes wrong and guess who gets the blame for the failure
*cough* Why would I want to betray you? Lol I basically work for you!

Spoiler:

Hm, hints... Must drink coffee to think, I feel like a zombie without it I prefer frappe's though, the black stuff is too much for me -my mom drinks it and I wonder how she can! And she drinks 3 cups a day (at least) I think I'd like a wallpaper, but it must be widescreen because I just changed my monitor and I don't use normal display anymore... I leave it up to you, I don't mind whether it's dark or bright, I like both styles

Aw, that's sweet! I used to have a parakeet but it died a few months ago It was quite old so it's better that she died, rather than dragging her life... Must've been unpleasant for her as well...
Your bird has a healthy diet! I taught my cat bad habits, like eating chips Did you even know cats eat those things?! Never mind my dog, she eats ANYTHING, I usually call her "garbage in" (in a non-hurtful way)

Sure, I'll be happy to help I've had at least 15 walls and vectors made as song illustrations! It's a great idea for a group, better than focusing on a certain genre of music (I've noticed that type of group tends to die fast). I don't know if it's a good idea to design a skin now, the new layout's gonna be up in mid July and the group layout won't work anymore. But it's still a month until then so I guess it wouldn't be a problem If you need codes or anything you can rely on me!

Quote by DevI wouldn't want both of my canines long and sharp.... what if ya bit your tongue... like really hard?

It's hell I know how it feels like. It's like that joke with the poisonous snake that bit its own tongue.

Quote by DevI haven't read any Steven King books..... *coughreadssci-ficoughcough*

Of the movies you've listed, I've only heard of The Birds. Mainly because my mom saw it as a kid and it scared the crap outta her. She was afraid of birds until we got our pet bird 7 years ago.

Besides horror/psych. thriller, what kind of movies do you watch? :3

Agreed, I saw The Birds when I was small too (kindergarten, maybe?) but I didn't see all of it, just until the part with the guy without the eyes. That scared me too and I desperately wanted to see the rest of it but they wouldn't air it In the end I did watch it but it didn't scare me as much as the first time.

The film that really got me was Night Of The Living Dead (1991 zombie film remake). Of course, I was much younger than the age restriction pointed out (7 or 8 I think, the restriction was 14) and it scared me so much that I couldn't sleep with the lights off for a month I can't say I'm squeamish when I watch zombie films but I find them a bit more disturbing than the rest!

Want a good laugh? Go watch [I]Child's Play, if you haven't. The infamous doll Chucky LIVES! I remember it was very "trendy" to watch CP during primary school. I watched it 2 years ago and laughed throughout the entire thing Truly good entertainment!

That about answers your question, I think I also like to watch good comedies whenever I have the chance; and a bit of dark humor is great once in a while too Like Sweeney Todd, it was discussed in Dark Wallies after all How 'out ya?

Quote by DevHere it is:
Sweet Season by dslassey

I have no idea why it got Elite.... do you?
And, just like I thought, it got no votes in the contest.

It's not that bad, I should try vectoring some hentai scans too, sometimes the artwork there is better than the official one I haven't watched/read hentai stuff in a while
It got elite because it's sweet :3 My idea was also about candy canes but, like I said,, I was too lazy to work on it

Quote by DevAfter our brains? like a zombie? D:
YOU INSULT ME WITH THIS GUIDE TO BEING EVIL! >=0
I need no guide! Mwahahahahahahaha *coughcough*

Friendships are beautiful *teary eyed*
A dedication!? To me!? o:
Never happened to me yet.... neato! I smell a gift (I hope that smell is a gift) for you too. I just don't know when I'll get around to making it. I've been so busy with some mandetory projects that i HAVE to work on at night and such. So I don't have a lot of time to work on wallpapers (I sleep in until 1 or 2 pm).

Yesh, zombies are EVIL! I have a thing with zombies, like I said above *gets all the sharp knives in the house*
Lol one day I'm going to be an evil overlord and no one will be able to overthrow me!
Neah, I changed my mind. I don't want to be an overlord, I'm going to be in charge of plans and strategies +_+ And maybe torture some people for information once in a while, for a change.
You might want to be careful, your evilness, your pawns may betray you one day... *hands Dev some medicine for the cough* They forgot one thing, though: if you're a suck up when you're young, you'll get to high places later

Oooh, nice I wonder what it'll be (bet you don't know either yet so I won't bother you with it any more) What would you like for your gift, a vector or a wallpaper? :3 Dark or bright?
*hi fives fellow late sleeper*

And do you like animals? I have 2 pets: a dog and a cat
