I will send the word around to get more members.

That would really help, every time a new forum is opened, it always gets a boost of energy like this, but what we need to do is keep this going. I've already had one person tell me about the same topics feeling old. We need new ideas, new members and lots and lots of activity. Let us make this forum the best one ever!

Indeed to that.

Its no surprise that common threads on the older forums will re-earth. I have some interesting topics in the pipeline but the activity needs to be key. Getting new members re-ignites the burst of activity when things start to slump down. Most probably be PS3 users joining but at least its members in general!

XD the lack of the WoW players has made the PC board go into drought already, more topics to come! 8D

So far my main concern was getting people to the forum, putting in some well known threads to encourage posting and offering help and support to Ghost and Cory. That is all i'm able to do, I want it to be a success just like I wanted Nintendo-Online to be a success back when I joined.

Ghost, what's the chances of an IRC chatroom like the good old days?

I got snow today I was outside, then it slowly appeared, got stronger, then just disappeared. 'Twas strange.

What about that heatwave we're supposed to be getting? Aparently going to be the hottest one ever <_< I am worried. I dislike hot weather as it is, it'll be torture!

Not another heatwave. I just survived the one we had last year. Looks like I will be sweating it out again with the DS with Pokemon playing while talking on the Britian's Got Talent skype chat? :p

Good times.

How the hell did 3 pages appear when I briefly step out...

I agree. I still remember my reaction when I heard Susan Boyle. It was something along the lines of O_O

I was watching SuBo with Harry at the time.

It was kinda like

'Matt dude, she's a hairy mammoth'
'I bet she'll sing really crap'

''I want to be like Elain Page''

*sniggers*
*SuBo sings*
'O_O, THE MAMMOTH CAN SIING'

I remember me, Ian, Scott, and maybe Darren and Cory watching. We were laughing too, then we heard her. AMAZING

It taught us all a lesson

I was just in awe. Nonetheless, I still think BGT ruined Susan Boyle's life.

I still haven't heard Susan Boyle's singing, I try and keep as FAR FAR AWAY as possible from anything remotely related to the X-Factor... Or w/e it was she was on XD

I am shocked at how fast this forum is growing, how long can this last?

It can last as long as we want it to last I guess, I mean, we're the posters, right?

Britain's Got Talent.

I think it's both ruined her and helped her. I don't think she's suited to this kind of fame. I think she should have been in theatre at most.

Britain's Got Talent.

Hence my w/e XD

I generally don't care for these silly "get famous fast liek!" shows, as the people who end up winning aren't really the most talented or deserving people in my eyes.

I think that the people on those shows are at least slightly more deserving than stuff like N-Dubz who have no talent and for some, it's their only chance. However, the people that audition there are not ready for fame, so it's not that suitable.

N-Dubz were on 'This Morning' , I saw them whilst I was ill.

They were complaining that they weren't nominated for a 'BRIT Award' .. I was like; ' IT'S BECAUSE YOUR CRAP, ALONG WITH YOUR GENRE OF SPEAKING TO A SLIGHT BEAT ' ;_;

Hey don't insult Rap!

Some of it is alright, but I just depise the way N-Dubz make a mockery of it.

Ugh, N-Dubz are a plague.

'I'M FROM THE STREETS YO, I DESERVE THIS CHANCE TO BECOME FAMOUS'

Dappy is vile. He backs an anti-bullying campaign, yet bullies a single mum and threatens to kill her because she doesn't like him? Vile boy.

Also, GA, while I disagree that all rap is crap, N-Dubz don't exactly give it a good name.

Right now I'm lamenting that A) I can't read or speak Japanese, and B) both the SnoopyCool and MechaDrake translations of the Metroid manga seem a little... off. Aside from MechaDrake only consisting of the first two volumes, I still prefer the SC translation, but at the same time, several things about it just seem... off.

If there's another, different translation which you Metroid fans find to be more accurate, or just an alternative to them, it would be really helpful.
