I'm not going to get into another fight about this. I've only started shit two times, so it's pretty unfair how you're saying I do nothing but that. Yeah, I know I'm not that nice all the time, but I know I'm not the only one. Well if you dident wanna start another fight why bother replying? Now your putting words in my mouth I never said that you ONLY start Drama which you usually do. But I dident say that's all you do. Another thing life's unfair I'm 17 and I'm getting a job soon I dont have time for this shit neither does Cosmie she is 16-17 and MHG is almost 40 we have lives. Obviously you dont if you want to start internet fights. Cosmie did not start with you she stated HER opion and you started bitching from there.

Why bother replying? Because I'm not just going to sit here while you say all that crap. And yes, you did say that's all I did:
I didn't want to start a fight, I just said that I didn't.
Okay, let me fix that. It's a gross exaggeration that you say that I do nothing but that. You're right, life's not fair.
Yeah, I did start bitching from there because I disagreed with her. Yes, I shouldn't have "bitched" about it, I should've said it in better terms. You're right again. But don't just sit there and yell at me, when honestly this has nothing to do with you.
All this isn't a fight, I'm just trying to defend myself.

First off, Pip, you are acting a little immature right now. See, Celra and I, and MHG all have/had/getting/ jobs, and we know a little more about the fairness in life. In some of the threads you start to act like a little know-it-all about a certain topic, which is annoying. I'm sorry if I appear to look like one, I'm not.
Secondly Pip, if you were 17, starting to college hunt for a major that's slightly rare, had a job at Chuck E Cheeses, struggly in geometry,struggling in biology, getting yelled at for missing questions on a geometry homework, had to get confirmed for church even though you don't really care, had a girlfriend that's thinking of comming down just to visit you and you still need to hear from her, have your best friend bitch to you,bitching in general, and your parents don't know anything about your girlfriend, and top it all off, trying to make sure the fourms getting in order, you'd been in alot of stress too.
You;re too young to understand stress. If you're really 14 that is.
I'm really thinking of banning you, just so all the drama llama's can stop running free.
There's a difference between defence, and bitching.

I fully support Comsie's decision. I DIDN'T want this to turn into a dramallama topic, but YOU, PiP, made it turn into just what I was trying to avoid.
About stress: I've been so tired from daily life and parenting on my own (Hubs is away a lot on business), that I'm ready to collapse. THAT'S real stress.
I used to like coming here to get away from stress. Then I see you arguing.
You need to sit yourself down and examine why you're this way. You're not going to get very far in life if you continue to act this way.

I have a 3-pronged idea for a collaborative fanfiction anthology, a fanart contest, and most importantly, an ongoing, episode-by-episode analysis of the series that some of us might really enjoy. More than just general discussion, I was thinking along the lines of a detailed analysis of each episode, how it relates to the KND mythos as a whole, character developments, plots that will carry over to later episodes, etc. Something that us "big kids" can really sink our teeth into. I love idea number 3! And true, it's something we big kids can enjoy, and the smaller kids can learn from. It's a bit like analyzing "The Divine Wind" or "To Kill A Mockingbird", but more fun! ;D You'll have to elaborate a bit more on number 1 and 2, though I'm certainly up for a fanart contest!

The idea behind the fanfiction was to pick up the collaboration anthology thing I had been trying to work on early this year. All work on my end of that kind of fell through because of my new promotion at work--I have a ton of stuff to do in real life as of late. Look up my thread on the collaborative project in the Fanfiction forum, but the idea was to do special short stories about all the key characters--Nigel, Hoagie, Kuki, Wally, Abby, Patton, Fanny, Rachel, and Father. These are special character building stories, based around important events in their lives. I gave small plot outlines and encouraged others to run with them. In the interest of making them as close to canon as possible, I outlawed pairings unless it was an established one in the series (like 1/Lizzie for most of the series, and even then, the story should not be about 1/Lizzie, it's just okay if its represented). Go ahead and take a look.
As for fanart, I can't even draw stick people well. But I thought it would be cool if there were some kind of contest to focus on specific themes. Someone else might be better at putting it together than moi, but my general idea was to inspire some fanart in the spirit of the series. Maybe have some specific categories--I just thought it would be great to get a lot of people working on some KND fanart that wouldn't get polarized by a popularity contest and pairing wars.
Anyone else have some idea for energizing the more mature fanbase?

Stop writing all the silly romance stories about where 3 loves 4 and they get together and live happily forever.(or any couple really) In fact, stop writing poorly written romance stories. KND isn't about Romance.
I was thinking of contests, and I was actually thinking of a mature member's-only board, that way us older members can discuss stuff that the younger members are too young for,but that's always on the back burner, and I don't care too much if it were established. If anypoint, it might cause a ww4 to the fourm like the x-rated roleplay section.

Well, the X-rated board was a bit much. I suggest we do like always, keep mature topics on the Other Main and Real Life boards. I noticed that the younger members tended to stay away from those topics.
I have to say it: That game where people say nothing but "I love KND the most!11!" "No, me!" "ME!" "ME!!!!1!!1!" really got on my nerves after a while. That's the kind of junk that we mean by catering to the younger members. That got old after the first page, and there's 90 pages of it??? Come on. Even my 8 yo would get bored with that after doing it once...
I really like Lord M's ideas. That said, I never got around to completing my Nigel/Hoagie fic. I need to get on it.

It's okay MHG, I haven't had much time to get around to fanfiction myself lately. I did pass the Nigel/Rachel (non-romantic origin story) off on The J.A.M., since I really loved what he did with the solo Wally story I had him do earlier this year. I still need to take on the Patton story I came up with, but first I need to finish the chapter I'm working on for my Hey Arnold epic, "Instant Gratification." But I'm approaching 2/3 of the way through about a 10,000 word chapter on that one, so I'm hoping by June or so to be well at work on the KND short story.

Why dont we do an "Employee of the month" thing only more like "Memeber of the month" Who ever contributes the most to the forum that's HELPFUL gets member of the month.

That might be a pretty cool idea--if the mods think it'll work out I'd be for it.

(Lord M's stories of friendship- I've been thinking of doing a few as well; writing I mean ^^) For the Employee of the Month, GoldenFlither for all. She's great. Also, I'm sorry for creating this thread in the first place. I didn't want people to make it such a big deal, and fight over it and all. I just wondered where MHG went off to, she replied to us that she was tired of checking out all threads and that was good enough for me. After her reply on this thread, I was thinking it would be locked and we could all go on minding our own businesses on the forum and all. I understand that the forum is dying, and a few of us are getting together to make it shine again. (go to page nine of the Courting Commanders and see what I typed about it if you want to) As I said, I'm not going to leave this forum. Even if I have a job, I'll still be active. When I'm in college, I'll stay in touch. And I'll forever love Kids Next Door. Sure, INTERVIEWS drove members away out of their fandoms, but a few are returning. (well, they may be) But we all have lives, and that's the way we roll. But we won't give up on KND. I won't ever give up on it. That's what fans do, after all. Stick with their fandoms and interests. I'm even thinking up a gihugic GKND fanfiction. At first, I disliked the idea but after a few months of taking in the whole Galactic thing... It could work. And Nigel will shine as the star! And plus, new characters and plots of twists, turns, and gihugic laughs of kid-aliens! So be positive and never negative. And that's another reason why I'm sticking with KND, Mr. Warburton having this spin-off movie planned that I'm hoping will be a smash-hit when it airs on CartoonNetwork. And about the mods: Why not make a few more? Well, what I mean is--admins can make new mods, can't they? If they could, make the responsible and helpful members on this forum mods. (Lord M, Krossfire, GoldenFlither, exc. for instance) Just a suggestion. I hope this helps.

Hey Allie, No need to be sorry. You asked a legit question. Hey, the reason *I* didn't tell anyone I was leaving was precisely *because* I didn't want any dramaramallama. One person decided to make it go in that direction. Now that we spoke to that person, this topic's getting back on track. About new mods: All the admins have been MIA lately. They're the only ones who can give out mod powers. Other mods cant do that. There's a couple of emails out to the admins. Hopefully, one will see this, and I'll get my mod powers back (yes, I decided to stay), and we'll see about appointing new mods.

I think maybe we should make more "intelligent" fourm games that have more of a point than saying "I luv KND THE MOSTEST", and such, and getting this fourm back into the old shape.

^Couldn't agree more. Some of those forum games are getting a little...well, non-funish.
