    Actually, it's only ONE new rule I'm introducing, because it's becoming more 'n more necessary every day:
    Don't post if you don't have anything to say. It's annoying. Really, REALLY annoying. Knock it off, or I'll start resetting postcounts and, in extreme cases, banning people. Off-topic conversations are OK, continually posting just to say "LOL" or "ok" or other completely and utterly useless messages isn't. This isn't a chatroom. Try to keep your posts at least somewhat meaningful, ok?

    Oh man, I'm in trouble now.

    Does this mean every post I make has got to have a point to it? Does this mean all posts or just when creating new topics?

    Not all posts need to have a point to them, but I thought it was getting a bit extreme on this forum.

    Yeah, I'm sorry. I just think meaningless and confusing posts are funny, but I see how everyone else think they are lame, so I'll stop.

    Though i certainly felt a lot of them were needed.....in fact i feel all of mine were valid at the time
    Jus doesnt look/feel that way when you look back through a lot of em..

    You know what toblix? It wasn't even aimed at you specifically. Most of your stuff is slightly funny, although I can imagine some other people finding it annoying. But there's more people who are guilty of this.

    Calis I hope you’re not going to ban me for what I’ll say

    The way I see it you guys encourage people to posting, these nice pictures under your name, and titles, nobody wants to be untrained so you have to post a lot. (In case you’re wondering I’m just joking) :wink:

    P.S. I WANT AN AXE LIKE SCORP HAS IT

    I was wondering when Calis' Evil Dictatorness was going to finally show.
    I mean he's been nothing but kind and helpful so far; it's about time he started letting his power get to his head and start pushing us around.

    But seriously, thanks, Calis. I was getting annoyed at the pointlessness myself. Unless it was on my "I Agree" thread, of course...

    Probably everyone knows this, but if you feel like chatting, there is a chat room in the #arcanum channel on mirc.

    Ironically one of the reasons I like this board is that it tends to stay on topic. OTOH, it is frustrating to watch little side comments rack up big post totals while mine just s l o w l y creeps up. I think I'm gonna LIKE the new rule :smile:

    Well, it's not like I usually just post things like "lol" or anything (I actually really, really dispise that word), but I probably am guilty of this, so I'll..... Err... Stop.

    *Wonders if there will be a rule on signature pictures sizes anytime soon*

    Man! And here I was instituting a new personal policy: Post, regardless of what you have to say.

    No more will Thenomain post long and meandering posts that try to be insightful. So long, verbosity! From now on, I'm posting one word per post. If it's even a word.

    Maybe I'll make my signature with an image about the size of... this board's interface! Yeah!
