The Town of Odyssey

Nice try.

You may think the ToO is bigger and better, but it is not better, and one day it will not be bigger.

As a side note, we have a bigger percentage of people who stay after posting then you do.

I would say it's more organized but really, they don't like the big feel. I understand that too, but it’s not actually ‘big’ it’s simply organized. Organization is always a good thing. The only reason it may seem complex is because our categories each have their own separate forum (like their AIO o...

I agree. I personally think that there should be at least a *few* sub-forums for general discussions, so it's easier and not all in one big thing, imo =P This was funny. We actually have three sub forums in General Discussion. Current Games, Church, and The Gallery. Bookworm, the reason for having ...

So, essentially, you're saying that we have achieved nearly half of your AiO posts in a twelfth of the time. I wonder how many we'll have when we hit the one year mark?

5. You can flirt on here! Sometimes, this almost seems like a dating site. I just checked out the Soda Shop for the first time, and I happened across an announcement that the flirting was out of hand and henceforth would be punishable by a ban. Multiple people praised this action, saying they disli...

People who live in warmer weather tend to be friendlier.

No, no one would judge you based on the ToO, and it's not that anyone doesn't like you, it's that (interpreted) you have had a harder time meeting people for whatever reason. My guess is that this is partly due to the fact that you were (not counting early administrators) fifth to join. There wasn't...

I would love to see what SS flirting looks like. \:D/ You won't get the chance now. :( -- Sun Nov 25, 2012 12:27 am -- Why thank you. I was accepted here quite quickly. And I have posted on the SS. Yet only 2 people over there have even accepted me. More welcoming of newbies? I think not. At least ...

Even ‘fake’ points need real supporting reasoning. Do they? Yes they do. We learned that in my Critical Thinking class. Even if you’re not being completely serious in the arguments you’re trying to make, the reasoning still has to be sound or there is no point, because there is no basis. When one c...

I would like to repeat my previous question. What is the purpose of your list? To me, it only appears to serve one purpose: to build your forum up by tearing ours down. And really, as a Christian message board, that's not representing Christ very well, is it? Have your members thought about that at...

That looks very good so far, Woody. However, I would like it to be slightly more distinguished. If a border is possible, I would like that, or possibly colored triangles at the corners. I am forgetting what you call it right now. Maybe even a colored strip along the bottom that reads 'Not Irwin'. An...

Weird, probably. However, this entire board is also weird. My post appears weird to you as it is merely a different type of weird than that of which you are accustomed.

I decided that Tuesday would be the perfect time to get a new avatar. However, I have two dilemmas. 1. I haven't technical or graphic skill whatsoever. 2. I only use one avatar and will continue to do so. However, Irwin realized this, stole my idea, and traveled back in time to use it before me on h...

(addressed to all the above posters) Come now. You've been making presumptuous posts about a subject you know little about, without the original context of the thread, and you expect that we will be cowed by your insightful wisdom? 1. Why have you been acting as though the entire Soda Ship is agains...

Do they have inside jokes with as much longstanding history as we do? Uh, definitely not. I beg to differ. Our inside jokes aren't incredibly open, they take a little digging. There's the: Marriage between Suzy and Fodo, Invisible letters, Pound Foolish dating, My nickname, My telapthic powers, The...

1. We have a much larger percentage of actual Odyssey posts than they do. They have more spamming posts than posts that relate to the entire point of their board. And that’s a bad thing how? We care about conversing with each other so much we don’t limit the topics. That’s a good thing. We don't li...

Yay! We are acknowledged! But seriously, I would like to quote myself on this: It's not meant to encourage anything un-Christ-like, just to stir up a little friendly competition because everyone over there refuses to acknowledge our existence. ;) This was never meant to be hurtful or anything of the...

Thank you for your sincere and clear answers to my questions, xiao.

Now, if you're still around, here's another one: What, in your mind, are the defining parts of the American and French Revolutions and why did they end differently? Specifically, what factors played roles in their differences?

Yes, I do. Normally, with voice inflection, tone, posture, and general mood I can pick out hyperbole and sarcasm rather quickly. Hoever, on the internet, with 93% (approximately) of communication being non-verbal, it can be more difficult to recognize. This started out as a sincere question, so inst...

No, of course not. My post was directed at the above two. While I realize that they do not want absolute anarchy, I find it intersting that they find no need for morality. If governing principles for our own lives are not necessary, than why should humanity as a whole have governing principles? My p...
