@AudioMachina22 Cause I can't write :) without the : disappearing yo, it's a right-side smile though it may seem upside down now!
@Cyberdevil Yeah... and I thought I would never cringe again. :( Lucky thing you mentioned that. Thanks a bunch
Cringe, hmm? It doesn't look like anything else than a smile though does it? Is there some secondary reference I'm unawares of...?
@AudioMachina22 @Cyberdevil That's not how I meant it. I was taking a look at my old BBS posts and kinda cringed. Then I saw you writing that to me...
Ah, man when I look back at my old stuff I just smile at how different a person I was. :) Embrace the past and grow to heights like you never experienced before 111!
@AudioMachina22 @Cyberdevil @Cyberdevil Yeah I guess you could think of it that way. But I'm a bit mentally ill so maybe that's what causes my negative views... oh well. What do you mean by 111?
Aren't we all to some extent though. ;) I think most people see their old content as you do though, so many people prefer to just wipe their history clean than really see their history as a part of personal progress; something positive. I really think it's a mindset you can adopt though. That you just decide that's how you want to see it. But who knows....
@AudioMachina22 Ah regarding the 111, that's just a remnant of trendy typing habits from back in the day, we/people/notsurewhichgroupsbutIwasinthemsoIstilldososometimes used to just add 111 instead/after exclamation marks for extra effect. I'm not sure about the history there, if it has something to do with leetspeek (1337), or just a typo that turned into something more... I thought it was commonplace though. XD Guess not everybody knows about that 111 though !11111
@Cyberdevil Ah I see. Now that you mentioned it I may remember this from back in the days. I may have used it myself a few times.
Thought you might be part of that same generation. :) Was pretty 111
@AudioMachina22 @Cyberdevil @Cyberdevil Yep. Lucky thing I never deleted my Mohabot account. I wanted to keep it as a memorial. Nice looking back now and then.
I know right. :) Me too btw. Wonder how many regret getting rid of their stuff, but maybe if you never keep anything you never really experience the sensations you can get from looking back... all that nostalgia for one.
not my style but good Metal music from Sweden: https://mentalissues.newgrounds.com
Ooh nice find. Hasn't been around for a while it seems, site down, wonder what happened...
@AudioMachina22 @Cyberdevil Yeah, that's how I grew up so... lol. I remember when I used u instead of you.
u no ur oldskool when u tiep lik dis. :P
Didn't really carry that particular habit into the new age, but the 111... still feels fun.
TurkeyOnAStick banned me while I was replying to you lmao, so i'll just post it here:

: S3C maaan, you disagree too? :/ IMO a topic creator owning the topic could be seen a bit like a site creator owning a site. If they decide to delete their shit, and it's not just their shit but in fact plenty of community contributions along with it, it seems like common courtesy to at least give your devotees a little time to save whatever data they might have entrusted you with prior to that deletion...
the bottom-line its the owner's site not that of the community, that means the content that you upload, in terms of the raw data but not necessarily intellectual property, is theirs. NewGrounds and especially the BBS is not a storage service so it's not their responsibility to keep things around.
: It is cool of Tom, I agree. It's great that users have the option to clear out, I agree with that too. But IMHO it really would be better if individual posts didn't follow said purge per automatic. Placeholder posts to keep a topic even without the OP, Reddit style, or just all individual user posts unlinked but archived via their own page seem like viable solutions. IMO that'd be so much better a way to handle this. No potential extraneous losses. No conflicts. No grievance by any party outside of that more suitable sadness coupled with said user deciding to clear their trace in the first place.
:
: : But yes DSB could've phrased that a bit more humbly...
but that may go against the meaning of deleting an account. I think the reasons some users request deletion is because they may have made an embarrassing post or topic, having the topic lying around with people replying to them would mostly defeat the purpose.
Daaang, hopefully not for this particular thing? XD Hope everybody who posted in that thread didn't get one, I guess I'l see with tomorrow's P-Bot winners response...
It's not a storage service no. It's not their obligation. It's my privilege to be able to use this place and partake in the community, just like I've done with any other community I've been a part of, which unfortunately in a lot of cases have always ended up getting shut down if I happened to take an all too large interest in them... so far this is the one exception. But, when handled courteously, site admins as such do understand that users value their contributions, and usually allow for certain leeway for them to fetch their stuff before they really pull the plug. I simple wish this could be handled in similar manner if it has to be handled in such manner at all. It's up to the admins of course, but IMO this ain't ideal for anyone. I'm sure (most of) those who delete their stuff wouldn't want others to be effected to the extent they are either; I'm sure most don't know what affect their deletion has at all. If they did I like to believe a lot of users wouldn't mind their content being left online after all; just leave it as is. But maybe I overvalue the general care for how much content may be valued by others by others...
That might be, though with their own part of said topic removed: what would remain that'd be an embarrassment to them? There'd no longer be a link. I feel the same way about this as I feel about artists deleting their old work just because they no longer appreciate it, even when others do. There comes a point where the worth of something is no longer just defined or justified by the creator IMO. If they no longer want to be associated with said creation that's fine, but I wish it'd be a decision that affects them in regard to that particular content; not the whole community. I think I explained my stance on this a bit better in that long-ass response to Absurd-Ditties just before yours. :/
I just wish we had a system that'd satisfy all parties; that'd encourage contribution as much as possible; never penalize anyone for contributing anything wasn't there a serious reason for it. Ideal system to me seems to be that anything a user has created is removed if they so wish, yet anything their creation inspired is left unaffected. Be that in regard to additional posts in a thread or ar artistic displays overall. It does seem to work that way with the latter...
@S3C I mean 'my privilege' as in a privilege I appreciate and don't take for granted, btw. So a privilege on my behalf more so than obligation on theirs. They really don't have to provide any of this, and I understand that, but I care too much about this place to just stand passive while chunks of history drop off now and again, it's not ideal, I don't like seeing the wealth of cultural value constantly diminished; renewed; the old destroyed to make way for it...

A MI TAMBIEN!
would you trade your appendix for an extended stay in Antarctica: https://www.bbc.com/future/gallery/20180810-villas-las-estrellas-antarctica-base-residents-surgery
You know I didn't really feel a need even for the shortest intended stay in Antartica prior to this... woah though, they can't leave their homes when it's -47C?! :/ I've been out walking around -40 up North here, wonder where the nose-freeze limit goes...
I've always felt like the appendix might actually serve a purpose in healthy people though. A bit like your tonsils. Potential immune system ties. Not that you probably can't live without it but I'd rather not... how 'bout you S3C?
