Hi!

I'm Tucayo the new sub-director of The Shroom, i am here to ask you if you are going to continue writing for The Shroom. Please answer as soon as you can.

== Spaghetti! ==

That happens to me a lot as well. This laptop is a literal PoS.

I've seen that, and I remember when I had to sneak on my mom's computer to watch YouTube as well. Arthur's Massive, Throbbing hit" wasn't all that good, IMO, and I prefer it when someone poops Zelda CD-i rather than other cartoon shows, unless it's really funny. Here's a list of the YouTube Poopers you should subscribe to:
*'''Deepercutt''' - His poops are much different than WalrusGuy's (he makes Arthur's hit) and are still funny. Most of his Sonic X poops are terrible, the funniest being "SHUT UP" and "The most epic card game ever played". His biggest failure was trying to poop Happy Tree Friends. I suggest you look at his old ones to get some REAL lulz. Oh, and don't try talking to him. He's a real jack@$$.
*'''Kroboproductons''' - Like DC, he's a total jerk to anyone that doesn't broadcast fads or is not emo. He'll troll and spam you with multiple accounts if you post negative comments on his videos (he calls them "vidyas") or rate any of them 2 stars or below (so it's best not to rate them at all). Despite his facade, his poops are amazing, and he's really versatile, so he makes poops of all kinds (mostly classics, like Sonic series, his favorite).
*'''SwishFilmsinc''' - His best poop was "The Kings Unreasonable demands", which made me ROFLMAO, something I barely ever do. I don't know much about his personal life, though.

Now that you have a feel for the poopers, here are some hits you should watch. The makers of these either stopped making poops or haven't made any funny ones in a while, which is why they aren't listed above.
*'''Ganon thinks your face will burn him''' - My favorite of all. Just watch it.
*'''What is Spaghetti?''' - A YTP classic, and is what sparked the arrival of the famous poopers above.
*'''Mama Luigi Leaves the stove on''' - More like a YTPMV (I'll get into that later), but still hilarious. It was going to become a fad, but other YTPers thought it was a tad difficult to make with that hard-to-find MP3.

There are some poops that are INSANELY hilarious, but have inappropriate titles to them, which kinda sucks if you're trying to show them in a public area.

You're probably wondering what a YTPMV is, aren't you? Allow me to explain. YTPMVs are fads sparked by YouTube Poops, hence the name. Unlike YouTube Poops, the maker takes an unfamiliar MP3 and uses a YTP character's voice (like the King's, or Doctor Robotnik's) and makes them "sing". Look up "Robotnik's Tea Party" and "Mario Wario Lucario" to see what I'm talking about. While you're at that, you might wanna subscribe to Vorhias, a guy who specializes in making these kinds of videos.

I'll tell you about YT fads too, but I think I've explained a little too much for now. I should get to explaining that later. lol

"Oh my faithful God". Is there anything wrong with that? I thought you were Christian, dude. Try assuming good faith for once.

You complained about something, and I said it was ghey. What moar do you want?

Thank you for that. I wish there were some way to crop the whitespace, but I can survive.

Ummm..., yeah... I'm too 1337...

That Shaymin pic is pretty chill, but I can't believe I have yet to show you how skilled I am at finding lulz images. Here's one sure to knock your socks off (this got me started on maining Wolf in Brawl):

Ummmm... yes.

Your computer must be shaped weird, because all keyboards are the same here. lol

No offense, but people who make such good quality videos have WAAAAAAY too much free time. I couldn't make a YouTube Poop like that if I was given a month! And lol, that poop wasn't really too funny. Especially after you watch it a couple of times...

Oh, I've got a lot moar in stock for you.

Atheists can burn in hell, because it's better than where they'll end up anyway. :p I honestly don't understand why people don't believe God is real, and counter all Biblical theories with Science (which, ironically, is one of my best subjects in school :p).

Never. <3

lolno, I'd have to put it on a card or something. By the way, I made a trainer card today.
[http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/rr38/BlueNinjakoopa5/BNKs_trainer_card.png IMAGE HERE]<br>
You can make one [http://www.pokecharms.com/trainercards/tcm2/ here], if your "japoota" allows it.

I'm not really into sprite fusion, although back when I was twelve I made up a region where pokeyman fusion was possible. :p

Yeah, some of my Strategy guides have the WORST typos. The most ROFLtastic one is "To get to the edge, jumpo the edge, jump on the paratroopa for a boost in height edge." XD Yeah, that's one ****ed up guide. This one was for New Super Mario Bros., by the way. lol In my opinion, Prima makes the worst guides. It's Emerald guide is terrible, just to clarify. Nintendo Power is best.

So your friend is a bixual? Never heard of that type of sexuality. My guess is that he's fond of machines. I have many online friends that are homosexual, and some that are homophobic. IRL, however, I have friends that ACT gay, but get all the chicks. It's weird.

Done, done, and doner.

== OMG TEH METROID PRIMEZ! ==

I bet I've been forgotten...XD

I would have completed MP3 WAAAAY sooner, but one of the missile expansions in Bryyo messed me up (the one where you have to destroy the statue) because I destroyed the statue when I first got there, but I never realized what it did, so I came back after I got the full map and I forgot all about it. XD

The final boss was too easy, though. :( Then again, I'm like GOD at FPSs, and I basically turned my arm cannon into a machine gun, killing everything on sight. I nevery really liked using Hypermode, because it drains your energy tanks. Missiles run out, and charge shots almost never hit. Rundas was ANNOYING, tho. WTF kind of weak spot is the neck?

== Dom's speed rose! ==

You've been such a good friend to me, so I caught a Chimecho and named it after you. The title of this message is correspondence to your replies, which have come to me quicker. Also, because this Chimecho is faster than usual.

Yeah, it could be like "The move did massive damage, it's super effective!" or some other line.

My hands are seven inches long (and I measured them a Year ago)

The internet is full of racists, dude, just as the world is full of hypocrites. It's all a matter of opinion, really. I dislike that poop because of the bad graphics and poor sound effects, but meh. I'd give it a 2.5. I like looking at Poops which are out-of-the-ordinary, ones like SpongeBob or something that originated as a video game (like Halo).

>_>

Cool.

I couldn't pronounce the 'L' in "light" when I was younger. >_>

lol, I love being lazy!

If you thought that game was easy, you should play Pinobee. It's one of the most unpopular games EVER, and only caught attention when in the time span of 3 days. It was short, and boring. For some reason, I never listen to that voice in my head telling me not to buy a video game that will turn out to be a load of ****. >_> I had one of those for Ruby and Sapphire, but it was by Nintendo power. The only typo I found in it was the misplacement of the types of the moves for Ninjask. It said that Screech was a water type move and that Ninjask could learn take down (it was a copy of Slash).

== Heat Wave? In MY Computer time? ==

It's more likely than you think.

I've heard of some people having power outages...and now I know why. Wow! :O If this is what global warming would be like in a few years, we sure are in for a bumpy ride. :(

I've been in Tassie for a few years now (since...2004/5) and have since gotten used to its usual cold temperatures. It feels a lot hotter to us, then. D: But I haven't heard of any of my friends here being powerless. Definitely we're all bothered about it. :<

Man, I really feel your pain on the aircon thing. Our heatpump actually has a fan function but unfortunately it doesn't seem to circulate into my computer/bedroom. Talk about annoying! I hope this heat wave goes away soon, and we can all get back to our normal lives.

(PS: Yes, I understand the joke. We get a lot of carp about that kind of thing...it doesn't really apply to us though, since we weren't born here xP)

== Root beer is the elixir of life... ==

Sadly, I did NOT get TP. :( However, I do have a rom of OoT and it's pretty good. I still don't know where the sword is, so I can't do anything. The Lost Woods is annoying. It has about twelve mystery exits, most of them lead you back to the start, one leads you somewhere else that's useless, and some other places.

Rundas was a cool boss, but he was just really annoying. He took so long, I actually had to take a break cause my hand was getting sore from my machine-gun firing. I made my fire button B, since it makes more since. (B as a jump button is screwed up.) My "shoot like hell" tactics didn't work, because he has such strong defenses. This tactic involves shooting so much that you beat enemies before they can hurt you, but about halfway through the battle I realized I was dying. Luckily his projectiles give health.

Bryyo was an awesome level. Awesome music, awesome scenery, and bosses that actually can stand up for themselves. (Mogenar and Rundas were the only bosses that actually took a while to defeat.) I love the last Metroid Hatcher you find. By then you have the Nova Beam, and after one hit he's dead. But even funnier is when you shoot it, it acts like it got its tentacles ripped off, so apparently damaging it's head makes its bottom bleed. :)

A secret nobody's found yet? Again? TELL THE GYROID.

I made a new comment with answers to a lot of the concerns you had.  I don't care how you vote, but I encourage you to.  Think of [[Mario]]'s young fans, and the wiki, as you do.

Wow..... I thought it got hot where I live. But thankfully, youre (Hopefully) surviving. Yeah, going back to school is a bummer.

Yeah... luigi pwns. Dimento and all the villains from spm rock too.... just forgot about them on my fav. characters.

I live in california, in the summer it is  not surprising to get to 105+ degrees farinheight, probrably a few degrees short of 40 degrees celsius. One summer, I think it got to be 110 degrees ferinheight, about 45? degrees celsius. The area in which we live in used to be a desert.

I'm not sure which archive your last message was in, and naturally, I'm too lazy to look. :P So, how have you been? I hear the heat there is INSANE. {{User|Neurario}} was telling me about it, but it sounds way hotter where you're at. I hope you'll be okay. I've been through a lot of heat waves; and I've had to MOVE through several of them. My parents pick the damnedest times to move: either in dead heat, or in freakin' cold weather. '>_>

So, do you need some help with WL:Shake? There's not much I could do, but if you need help with something, I'll try.

Speakin' of WLSI, have you played any good games lately? (Besides "Survive the Heat"? :P)

And did your computer ever get that upgrade I think you talked about awhile ago? Maybe you could come on chat sometime. It's really great to be on between 6:00pm and 11:00pm Mountain standard time.

That is so true. Bush ruined our country, Obama will fix it....hopefully.

Yes....Yes we do...No wait...Only when I have curtains open. :P

Mwahahaha, story time >:3 Today's story; '''Meet Bush!''' Alright, I go to the Current Events Club at school (Go ahead, poke fun at it :P) There's a highschooler who comes to every meeting, Friday after school, and talks to my teacher while we (The club members) discuss the current event. So on select few meetings, the highschooler will tell us to stop our discussion 10 minutes early. Why? He immitates George Bush! xD He immatates the weird accent he has (Like when he says "My fellow Americans," he says it like "Mah fellow Amairicins") and then stands behind the podium and has his arms stretched out when he talks. I swear, it's hillarious! Once I asked "Do you believe Canada is the hat of America?" and he said "Well, I Canada's the hat, then Alaska must be the little feather thingy." Another time, a kid asked "What's really in Area 51?" and he said so fast and points at him "Osama Bin Laden." xD Some jokes were OK, others were totally hillarious!

Now for it in Engrish! Mwahahaha, story time>: 3 story today;'' 'Bush Meat!

Damn, it's waaaaay hotter there. I hope you'll be okay. ._. I was once stuck in a traffic jam in Dallas while moving. The temperature was 119º. I thought I was going to die.

Metroid Prime 3 looks beyond awesome. =)

Thanks; I liked the old one too, but I thought it needed an update. :P

You know, I'll be really sad to see you leave the wiki. You were becoming a little more active, and I was hoping that someday I could make you a Patroller. >:3 But, if it's what you feel is best, by all means, do it.

I haven't been on the wiki ''real'' long, but I've seen a lot of my best friends retire. I've constantly taken the immature "Don't go!" approach, and it doesn't do anything. So, I'm going to be mature about this. I wish you the best of luck in real life. I hope good fortune comes your way and that you'll lead a happy life. And always feel free to take a break from 'Shroom sections and stuff to say hi to me. I'll be more on the ball with messages. ;)

==RE: History==
Some responses:

1. Actually I am from the United States.  The proposal I created is somewhat about confronting my personal biases that have emerged from my "American-ness," as well as trying to represent those who have to face cultural oppression on the wiki.  I feel the proposal represents the best attempt to find a compromise between different English speakers, so that both sides will have the opportunity to learn about each other, instead of one side always adapting to the views of the other.

2. Thanks.
2b. Yeah...the "explicit" content is actually in the YouTube videos posted on the bottom, so I moved my warning down there. =)
2c. Yeah I guess.  But everyone has biases - me, you and everyone in the world included.  Ultimately I feel it is best to proceed with things democratically, so that multiple viewpoints can be discussed, debated, and perhaps even changed. -- {{User|Son of Suns}}

That joke is too good to let die in what may be our last message.

Yeah, I guess it is confusing.

Well, even if you're somewhat used to <s>hell</s> scorching temperatures, I still wish you well there. I was stuck in that traffic jam for about 5 hours. It was easily the longest five hours of my life; and despite it being over a decade ago, I remember every bit of it. So yes, oblivion didn't seem far off.

I agree. MLSS was easily one of the best GBA games evar, and likely the best GBA Mario game evar. Let's hope M&L3 brings us the same pwnage.

I hear ya. My mind has become really complex over the years. (And my heart a little harsh, in all honesty.) Things have been crazy, and rather than putting my friends first on this site, I've put my administrative duties first. Shameful, I must admit. But, ignorance is a part of making mistakes.

I love song quotes. ^^; I don't blame you. Many n00bs can be annoying. But I try to take they're newbiness with a grain of salt, two cups of sugar, and then bake it for a while. Usually, when it's all said and done, I get a large helping of humble pie. Reverted edits do hurt. I remember making articles back when I was new that were constantly turned into redirects, despite their length and detail. Don't feel outcasted; my edits are still watched like a hawk, oddly.

It's cool; I've got time.

No, I know you've never broken any rules. You're a great user. You're kind, helpful, funny, and all that stuff. (Is that too mushy?) Maybe you haven't made a bunch of large edits. But every edit counts. Reverted or not, your edits will be a part of this wiki forever; and eventually, your info was deemed "useful" by other users. (I think people had n00b paranoia, actually. o_O) LOL, fan mail. It does get overwhelming, actually. To know that I make a talk archive roughly every other week, because I receive so many messages at times, it becomes somewhat of a chore when I have to keep up with my administrating here, on the forums, Userpedia, their forums, and the chatroom. But my OCD eventually gets through and helps me prioritize somewhat. I'm not a saint though. I don't get why users call me "the nicest user", a "top editor", or any of that crap. I feel like I could put a lot more effort into what I do for some reason.

Yeah, I was contemplating promoting you or MeritC as a third Patroller promotion. Merit was a bit more active than you, so I opted for her. But, you were becoming more active, so I hoped to see you gain the ability to block, rollback, and patrol soon.

Mkay.

You, not popular? I wouldn't say that. A lot of users have been here several years and have very few messages. You're awesome, don't deny it. =)

...''Me?'' Wow, I must admit that I feel quit honored and touched to see that. :') To know that I made you feel welcome here makes me feel like I'm doing my job right. And you've made several users feel welcome here too. 02, Palkia, Pokemon DP, <s>Birdoshi</s> Time Q, and even me are all grateful that you were here as a friend. And I appreciate the comment of becoming a head honcho for the site. I doubt it'd happen though. :P

LOL, Hess seems like a n00b. xD Oddly enough though, Userpedia misinformed you. My real name isn't Ben. It's Patrick. I'm surprised that so many people get misinformed from my article since it says my name. No sweat though; your joke was still LOL hilarious.

Nah, you're not boring me. Diary? I have several of them, actually. A good portion of my entries are really painful when I look back at them now. (10 years of notes, and around 100 notebooks.) I actually burned a few of my notebooks because I felt that there was bad energy attached to them. And you know what? I felt a little better. Maybe the same could work for you, if you ever needed it. My insomnia's getting a little better. Hypnosis and tranquil music have helped a bunch.

I know, right? I always found "real life" to be a silly term. LOL, it was only 5 days, I think. <small>A new record!</small>

I appreciate it. =)

<small>Or it could have something to do with weasels, like you mentioned in your first messages.</small>

And we wonder why so many gaming nerds are pale! xD

I'm glad to hear I'm not a failure. It's comforting.

You could write "I am basically retired. Any messages that I receive I will likely not respond to. (Unless their really important.)" Or something like that. I don't know. I suck at goodbyes.

Furthermore, I'd like to note that your 'Shroom section kicked ass once again. Keep up the good work.

Well, I guess this is it for now. Hopefully I'll see you around sometime. Take care, and God bless. {{User:Stooben Rooben/sig}} 00:01, 16 February 2009 (EST)

HI Dom!!!

You didnt send your section in time for this 'Shroom's issue, so I wanted to know why, and if you are still going to write for the 'Shroom. If your reason isnt good enough, I'm sorry, but you'll be fired

Oh.. bye Dom :( {{User:Birdoshi/sig}}

I didn't expect to see a message from you; that definitely made my week worth while. :)

So how are you? What's up?

Yeah, this place is getting a little n00bish, but it's getting better. It could be way worse, when you think about it. If you'd like another site that you can communicate in, then go [http://solcon.wikkii.com/xephyr/index.php here]. It's my personal site. I have about 30 members, so it's a slow forum; but we have a lot of great features: an arcade, jukebox, shop, events, all that stuff. You'd enjoy it there.

Yeah, I quit that place a while ago. Illegality = BAD

-{{User:Ralphfan/sig|Swing by the chat; I might be on.  We all got excited and hopeful when Elvira impersonated you on there.}}
-==Elvira and More==
-===Maria===
-Elvira, also known as MariaThalia or simply Maria, is consistently working with  Rudnicki[http://userpedia.adriels.com/RudnickiMarioX06] to bring down the wiki.  A brief summary of her works can be found here[http://userpedia.adriels.com/Maria].
-====Chat====
-Maria runs a chatroom called #Rome.  Rudnicki was a frequent visitor until May 8th.
-=====Main=====
-On May 8th at about 2:30 pm my time (I'm GMT - 8), a user came on as Dom.  Those of us who knew you became very excited and said things like, "Dom?  The real Dom?".  However, the impersonator soon left and I later whois'd Maria and found it was her.
-=====Doing as the Romans do=====
-I later
-======May 8th======
-That night, I heard about #Rome.  I went on and tried to talk to Rudnicki and Maria.  Rudnicki said he wouldn't tell an "anti-user" anything.  I then proceeded to impersonate Rudnicki following his departure and swear repeatedly at Maria.
-======May 9th======
-At about 11:30 am the next day, users such as Grapes (who will probably go out with St00by soon, seeing as they both like each other) and Nerdy Guy were pretending to side with Maria so that she would op them on #Rome so that they could then de-op Maria.  However, Maria then generously decided to op us all.  I and one other user were the only skeptics, but our skepticism was soon refuted.
-===N00bs===
-====Intro====
-So, your n00bs...from my guess at your definition of n00b in this case, some of them seem to be nice.  Just annoying and immature, if you ask me.
-====Examples====
-Is this an example of what these n00bs do:
-*Putting "WHY IS (USER WHO WILL REMAIN NAMELESS) LEAVING A COMMENT" in their sig
-*Or putting "(USER WHO WILL REMAIN NAMELESS) WET HIS UNEXISTENT PANTZ
-Both of these users actually are nice guys; just kind of immature.
-Please let me know if I'm right.
-===You will be honored yet again...===
-====UHOF====
-I will soon make a User Hall of Fame.  The initial members will be:
-*Me
-*You
-*Tucayo
-*St00by
-*Grapes
-*Wayoshi
-I am also considering:
-*Neu
-*Bean
-*Castle Toad
-*Nerdy Guy
-*Yoshario (aka Clay Mario)
-*Packy
-Let me know if there's anyone else that should be included and why.
-====Match Game====
-If you check the last 3 Fake News' for The 'Shroom, you can see the plans for the Match Game.  In the script, which will be aired on May 30th at 15:15 GMT on #mw-shroom, the audience will receive a giveaway.  In honor of you, they will receive Dimentio's fragrance, [[List of Implied Items#Demented|Demented]].
-{{User:Ralphfan/sig|ME NEEDZ MOAR! (Hope the previous quote <-- isn't too n00bish.)}}
-==Not as long as the last one, but...==
-Here goes:
-===Packy===
-Packy is The Blue Dragon; I hear from him all the time on chat.  He writes Upcoming Games for The 'Shroom.
-===Juice===
-Any specific type of juice?
-===Chat===
-Are you registered on the chat as Dom because I will make you level 150 on #ralphchat even if you never visit.
-===Touching up on last time===
-As I said, the n00bish sigs belong to cool users.
-===Getting by===
-I go on the chat and [[User:Ralphfan/Fake News|write my own Fake News (which is on a bit of a hiatus right now).  I also am making this wiki a better place for all.
-===Other===
-I'm off school today for Memorial Day and am out of school on June 11th; I won't be out of the woods until my Bar Mitzvah on June 20th.
-===Romance===
-SLNO is going out with Packy a.k.a. [[User:The Blue Dragon|The Blue Dragon]].  Other romances:
-*Jorge + Bean
-*Grapes + Tabuu
-I'm gonna try to get [[User:Superstar Daisy|Superstar Daisy]].
-===Match Game===
-Since some people are flaking on the Match Game, I'd like to have you as the alternate who wins the prize in the event of a tie.  If there is a tie, you would have to fill in the blank with any word(s) that complete this phrase: Free _____.  If you don't respond, I will assume you answer juice.
-{{User:Ralphfan/sig|That's all I got...}}

-Your old poll, the one about the hardest level in the history of mario games, got chosen! It was a good idea........ {{User:Luigifreak/sig}}
-Okay, what video is sow high ranked? I watched some of your videos, but most of them were pokemon battles... not saying that thats bad. I like how you add just a touch of randomness to whatever video you have (one moment Dialgas blasting the fudge out of a geodude, the next a cat is yawning at the screen) Oh and I saw you have twilight princess. It's pretty pwnful, huh... {{User:luigifreak/sig}}
-== Am I... ==
-A n00b? I'm just wondering. {{User|Super Mario Bros.}}
-== Princess movies ==
-Here we go.........
-. I saw that video. I'm not a big poke fanatic, so im not interested in shinies, ev's or anything of that sort. However, I am playing through emerald, so I plan to use it eventually.
-. Well, even your poke battles are funny due to the randomness and some of your nicknames (porygon 69? LOL!) And the awesome video game moments and stuff like that are cool too.
-. GO RANDOMNESS!!!!!!!
-. I just thought of a random example. On your signature moves video, some random legendaries were battling a geodude, but i don't think it was dialga. But sometime during the vid. a cat did yawn. (im assuming it's yours)
-. Well, twighlight princess, and many of the other zelda games, are great. In fact, princess is probrably tied with either brawl or paper mario 2 for my favorite game. (okay, princess is not a good abbreviation for twighlight princess.) I have not played for a while, and have not beaten the city in the sky, but my dad did beat it. In fact, I beat all three forms of gannon for him. All the bosses are amazing, the temples are fun, and they provide a challenge (even the first one!) The items are innovative, I could go on and on. I just wasn't sure how much you liked it.
-. Yeah, i sure keep you on your toes. Just after you left, inactive users became active, though. I'm not trying to get you to come back, but i'll give you a list of recently active users soon. Who knows, maybe you were friends!
-. Crabcakes (I'm not good at being random, okay!)
-Random trivia about my message: I said the word random 5 times in the message (or 6 now) and... This is the longest message I have left on any users talk.

-Ok. I do agree with the n00bs proposal idea, but a lot of users who act like n00bs actually make good contributions (which makes them immature users). And yeah, by the way, do you want to know something ironic? I switched my vote on the proposal because I realized the fake message box gives false hope, can lead you to bad sites, etc. The ironic part: It was my fake message box that made me realize this.

-== You responded! ...But then again, so am I. ==
-It was definitely nice to see you respond to my message; I was worried I wouldn't see a reply for another six months. :P
-It sounds like your year has been pretty busy! I'm sorry to hear that you're having a hard time in school, and that it's even harder because you're having trouble staying awake. (That almost reminds me of how I was in 10th grade &mdash; I almost flunked math because I was so tired.) Your Wii ''broke''? Jeez, man...that sucks eggs. It sucks when you unexpectedly lose a game system (or a memory card) and lose all your game data. :[ Philosophy, eh? I had to take so weird courses on that this year; they didn't really make much sense, but I managed to ace them. Seems like quite a few of my friends are <s>becoming emo</s>having a hard way to go in life. Well, there's only one way to look at it: things'll get better. (I'm living proof of that, lol.)
-My year's been quite hectic too. I think you were aware of my situation in February, but I didn't talk to you after then for a long time. In March, my family found a town in New Mexico that we lived in for a while. Things were working out pretty well; my dad got a job, I got a job (on my birthday, nonetheless!), I got to start my college courses back up, and we were generally happy. ...But then, the job (which my dad and I both worked at) started ''driving us into the ground''. Rather than working 3 days a week, like I was supposed to, I wound up working ''6'' days a week. (Which was anywhere between 48 and 65 hours, depending on how much overtime I got.) My dad put in almost as many hours too; to make matters worse, we weren't getting anywhere. We were still living in a lodge and were unable to afford our own home because pretty much all of our money went to rent and food. We eventually left New Mexico and moved back to Colorado in September, where I'm currently at now. Things are looking up right now; I finished my college finals (I'll be taking sophomore courses in a few months!), my dad's got a job, I'm developing an RPG (look [http://userpedia.adriels.com/Tale_of_a_Dissolving_Spirit here] and [http://solcon.wikkii.com/xephyr/index.php?topic=2132.0 here] for more info; I'm using your sprites in the game, if that's okay), and stuff like that. So, things DO get better...it just takes time.
-The wiki has definitely improved since you were last here. The site hit rock-bottom between April and June. In April, my Gmail account was hacked by a couple of well-known trolls; this led to them finding out most of my passwords. The main troll took over my accounts on the MW Forums, Userpedia, Userpedia Forums, and also took over my chatroom nicks. It took a couple of days to get control over everything again, but during that time, hell broke lose. The MarioWiki Forums were nearly destroyed (and would have been completely gone, if not for Porple reverting the server), the chatroom had a hard way to go with me being impersonated, yadayadayada. The trolls were eventually stopped &mdash; one of them (whom I knew in real life) was arrested and sent to prison for several years &mdash; and the wiki starting recovering. We got more activity, more competent members joined, I was given control over Userpedia, and a bunch of other stuff happened. Overall, the wiki is pretty close to where it was at around the beginning of 2008, so everything's pretty good. It sure would be great if you would return, though. {{User:Stooben Rooben/sig}} 21:32, 14 November 2009 (EST)

-==If you ever check the site again, you'll see this...==
-Well, a lot has happened in the past year.  I was sort of a troll for a couple months (not a spammer/hacker troll, but an annoying one) and got banned from a couple chatrooms and for a month from the forum, but I've cleaned up my act.  I dunno why I hadn't posted here sooner, I kept telling myself too...I guess one of my friends going on hiatus reminded me.

-"Lucario is like, the COOLEST Pokemon ever! Seriously, auras and cool Egyptian looks, it's awesome. You seem to be new...are you newer than me? I joined on Feb 18th this year...I think. You probably won't reply...oh well. Keep being cool like Lucario...your aura is coolness." There are several grammatical mistakes. It should be "Lucario is probably the COOLEST Pokemon ever! Seriously, auras and cool Egyptian looks are awesome. You seem to be new. Are you newer than I? I joined on Feb 18th this year, as I think. You probably won't reply. Oh well. Keep being cool like Lucario is. Your aura is coolness.
