Fear Me! (Or else...)

I really hate the new forum design. I don't even have the option to view it as the old forum, if I wanted to. I can't really find anything I need to as easily. Can we at least have the option to view it the old way? I don't think I'd stick around much longer if we were forced to view it this way. I'm not trying to boycott it or anything, I just really don't like this layout. It's too like all the other forums, which makes it seem uniform, and if you try to set it to view in certain modes, you can't load the boards or topics. I liked the individuality of the old forum... it was so Metroid-oriented, which actually fit the topic of m2k2.

This forum has the same content in it as the old one, so I don't understand what you mean by the old one being more metroid oriented. If you're talking about the look of the forum, just be patient because more themes are coming soon. As a whole, it is not much different than the old one, and of the differences that do come to mind, this one has some major improvements. Small features that may no longer be available will likely be added soon. It's just change, go with it.

as for the other themes I got a glitch using the home-brew theme,I couldn't leave the main page without it glitching.

bioniclegenius: opium covered most of what i would have said, but basically i'm not sure what you're talking about. the only thing "metroid-oriented" about the old forum style was the samus icons beside each topic. those will be back shortly.
there's no way to view the forum's "old style" because this is totally different forum software; we didn't just change the style.

i'm not sure what you mean by this. could you elaborate?

My friend is a tripped out artist who paints alot of cool stuff, much of it is very adult in nature. He has been working on a painting for me ever since I moved back to CO and he just brought it over this afternoon. It's called 'Sacrifice to the Goddess' which is an appropriate name for a painting in my honor (tee hee!)

If you knew my personality, you wouldn't have to ask ;)

It was quite self explanatory with the same embedding steps, there was quite a pause after hitting the 'browse' button though.

The new layout is rubbish. I hope this is just a w.i.p.

And no, I won't elaborate.

Aw nooo. I told that guy he shouldn't burn bridges. His avatar looked familiar too.

I hope nothing is wrong with me. Lately at times I've been getting dizzy spells, and tonight I had a real bad one, then I felt like I might have to throw up... I still came into work though, despite feeling terrible. I feel a bit better now.

As for leaving that note to my asshole boss... I guess I said all that stuff while still angry.

Think about what you have eaten lately. Did the dizzy spells come after any particular kinds of foods? Particularly high sugar/carb snacks, soda w/chips etc. If not, then I would blame it on stress, it does alot of weird things to you.

Your diagnosis is spot on Dr. Opium. :-]

I did eat some junk before work. Turkey and ham cold cut sandwiches with potato bread, cheese, and horseradish sauce... with potato chips, and Pepsi to drink.

I forgot to mention; I brought along a bucket in my car after I left home just in case I had to puke in it on the way to work. x_x

uuugh that makes me so hungry. My parents made a really shitty dinner so I hardly ate anything. They were all like "HEY lets eat some really healthy stuff tonight! Yeah! You know what, forget about cooking the chicken, we're just going to have SALAD and this nasty stuff called KEEN-WA (sp". The salad tasted nasty and wasn't filling at all, and the heen-wa tasted literally like birdseed. 100% serious.

That's hardly "junk" unless you really aren't used to potato chips and Pepsi, I don't think that's the actual issue. Just drink a lot of water and lie down for a while, usually works just fine for me.
