"TCoD limits creativity and freedom of thought. More to come later, take care"
…No, it doesn't. This is fact, the only place where I feel free to show others my creativty.
It's a website about pokemon, not 1984.
"Freedom of thought"
Te loca, freedom of thought…
Lolwut.
I think the most amusing thing about this is how there doesn't seem to be a sentence in it that isn't factually inaccurate in ways that parody themselves.
It's been a few years, and whenever I think of TCoD, I just imagine what would a country be if Helen was in control? She loves talking about liberalism all across your forums. Her attitude however, in the way she controls the forums from A to Z proves otherwise; until today, she's the most fascist individual I have ever met.
1. The so called "Rules" works as Filtering rather than actual rules. For starters, it literally doesn't let you in if you don't fully read them. I heard this addition is no longer there and I hope that's true, but overall; it dictates what kind of person you MUST be to join the forums, It's hardly about 'rules'. This comes in the degree of 'Warnings' for things such as posting to many emoticons, 'flaming' (30 points?), 'backseat modding', 'bad english', it's almost as if these forums want to be in control of it's image, and it's people, than to just give people to space to be. The number of people banned from the forums simply for being different, is a great indicator. Why is it that other forums are relaxed about how their people behave, unless it gets absolutely serious - while this one pressures people's to the tip of their mind? "Am I saying this right", "is this post in the right forums..", and the constant justification people make after they make a topic, from "I was bored" to "i'm not sure this is in the right place bu i concluded it is because ect", just reflects such pressure.
2. Selectivity in mods. You're modding method is simple: You mod people who are exactly like you. People as uptight and as aggressive and as arrogant as you are. No one would dare think he has the freedom to be himself under this great leadership.
2. Corruption. See; Furret. There's obvious selectivity in who is allowed in the forums, and who isn't.

I would make one splash. Just like I didn't make a splash for 3,500,000 because that was less than a month after 3,000,000 and clearly came about because somebody was really bored and spent a few days refreshing the front page incessantly.
That was supposed to say "in like 24 hours". I have no idea why Number Lock was off…
That's another thing that bugs me - people who say the only people to use the number pad are accountants and such. I use it all the time - I almost never use the ones above the letters. Even more, I prefer the Enter key over there, for whatever reason.
If, hypothetically, the site suddenly got insanely popular, and it went through the next, let's say six, milestones you have planned, in like hours, would you still make all six splashes? Or, would you just make one?
I know that's not likely to happen, but still.
Why on earth would there be a new splash? The next front page hit milestone is four and a half million.
Now can we have a new splash?
The title of the post is "Nine Years and Counting", but the first lines of the poem are "You are now just one year from a ten-year career". Both correctly imply the site is nine years old. If that's not what you're getting at, I'm lost.
I just noticed; i use the Shiny Ninetales thingy and the message on the front page says "You are 9 Years away from being a 10-year-site" or something.
yeah i didnt quote it directly.
I put in my Soul Silver in and head over to my friends house that has Wifi… Go to the Plaza and no ones there… I guess it's understanable since everyones playing Black and White but I still like my Pokemon following me.
Didn't know TomSka had passed by…
I like trains!
-everybody gets hit by a train-
Happy belated birthday, site! I promise to visit you more often instead of just putter about on the forums. :D
i know…well its actually not the sites birthday anymore,but people are still wishing it a happy birthday lol
It would've been hilarious if it had been your birthday (instead of, not in addition to the site's), because it was mentioned to be the ninth birthday.
Just a note: it was the site's birthday, not mine. Mine's in February.
oh mah gawd…apparently i can't read comments correctly… I thought you said it would be funny if thee wa a pokemon that evolved by happiness that started off hating you.
*facepalm*
im so happy your back with a fixed laptop,on your birthday no less. im looking forward to the new stuffs you'll add ^_^.
also it seems there would be a pokmon tht starts hating you,and evolves by happiness,but oh well happy birthday lol
Hakuna matata. If you've seen The Lion King, it's Timon and Pumbaa's motto. According to the movie it means "No worries", though that could be an inaccurate translation for the sake of fitting it into a song.
