::teef:: The permissions got imported weirdly from phpBB so no one was a "registered" user. Only a "REGISTERED" user, which isn't the same ::meev:: Should be fixed now.
Also, this thing came with a "Like button" built in, which is ridiculous but I don't think it can be turned off XD

Welcome to SCAPEBOOK. :D

There are a few things I've noticed that have been duplicated in all caps - user profiles have a HOMEPAGE and a Homepage, a LOCATION and a Location.

::squeeeee:: well well well, hello everyone. I feel like it's been approx 100 million years. I'm here at the behest of hanachan and it's been fun poking around old threads and seeing the things we used to all talk about. ::zoom::::zoom::::zoom::::zoom::::weepy::

Hope everyone is doing well.
I wonder who still remembers me in this place. :shock::lol:::hora::

Wait, who is this guy ::meev::

Check this out: new arrival today, a facsimile edition of the 1698 "Orpheus Britannicus", a posthumous collection of music by Henry Purcell. The real thing costs an arm and a leg, but this is a really nice copy.

... Also check out the new file uploading feature ;)

Nah, it's from 1965 XD

Aaaaand there, I think I've got the fonts in posts matching the old forum exactly now. Now if I could just fix the ludicrous word wrapping in our profile boxes, we'd be getting somewhere XD

IT LOOKS WEIRD. I DON'T LIKE IT XD

It just seems so cluttered now. THIS IS WEIRD XD It just seems like we're on Gamespot or something now.

Anyway, I've been editing my film all day today. It still needs work XD I can already tell where I've made mistakes and where I need to improve. Like, I forgot to get my actress out of her apron when she sat down for dinner.

One lame thing is that I don't think my actress ever got into the "mother" role because... SHE DIDN'T KNOW HER LINES. My parents and friends who have seen my rough drafts of the film felt she wasn't very natural and that she had the same expression throughout. My dad said she seemed "lost," like she didn't know what she was doing there XD So that sucks because I can't really edit that and that wasn't even my fault. I EVEN TOLD HER AHEAD OF TIME THAT SHE WAS A MOTHER WHOSE SON HADN'T VISITED IN A WHILE XD

It also messed up my ending because the last shot was supposed to be of her washing the dishes, but her expression had changed. But on camera she had the same expression the entire time so it didn't work and I just cut it out.

But I think what I learned for next time (we have to do another short film in a couple of weeks) is that I really have to prep my actors more from the get go so that I can get exactly what I want, just in case we have another one who is all over the place.

my leg.

EDIT: OK now with the fonts back it looks more normal.

EDIT2: OK ITS NOT SO BAD

This sounds like the voice of experience :|

I'm still working on it, you can see I switched around the "user boxes" on our posts to be more like the old way. I even added some old-school touches like removing the commas from the numbers ::batsu::
EDIT: and the old date format. Now we're cookin' with gas ::ash::

Sorry for butting into this conversation, just wanted to express my excitement for this update. :D
I love it so far and once I get home tonight I plan to write up some reviews of some Kei products I've been wanting to review, in honor of this update. ::k::

EDIT: Oops have to delay until tomorrow since I have to wake up really early tomorrow :( well until then...

I'm trying to remember the name of a metal band, I think they played a sort of atmospheric gothic metal and had a lot of butterflies/fairies in their imagery, I think they may have been French, or at least used a lot of French. Does anyone know?

Haha, well played! But seriously, this is driving me crazy, I remember listening to them ~3 years ago and I just can't remember who it was!

What do you do for work?

He manually fixes computers for a living.

Ugh, Megan is being useless to me again. I'm trying to find out where I'm living (yeah, just SOMETHING IMPORTANT XD) and the school coordinator said the results would be posted on the website by the end of July. OK I've been scouring the website and I can't find the results. So I email the coordinator asking where they are and no response, again I ask, no response. I call her several times, she doesn't answer and it keeps ringing.

So I email Megan this morning saying that I want to know where I'm living and that the coordinator isn't responding to my contact, and if she knows about the housing because I can't find it.

She replied that she doesn't know anything about the housing and that I should follow up with the coordinator.

...

I email her back saying "Thanks", that if she could also contact the coordinator and ask because I have been attempting to contact the coordinator and haven't received a response and it's well past July.

Her response, "I can certainly try."

...

my god what a wimpy answer XD So she made a group email with me, the coordinator, and herself.

Anyway, one of my childhood friends died yesterday. It's hard to believe. Well, he had a rare cancer that's so rare you have more of a chance to be struck by lightning and it only affects adolescents and young adults. His insurance wouldn't cover his treatment because it was so rare that there isn't a standard treatment for it so we raised money for him last year. I found out about the whole thing while I was at the Virginia Woolf Conference and I took a long walk on my own during a break. I mean, one of the reasons I like my internship is that the building I'm in is old, beautiful, and has a bunch of ballrooms, and that reminds me of what everyday life was like in elementary/middle school because that's what we grew up in.

It's just hard to believe that I used to see him every day for 8 years and now he's dead at 24. He was a great, funny guy. We went through Kindergarten to 8th grade together and those days at school were glorious and I consider those people special and basically models of friendship and loyalty that I've held all future people to. Even now I can still go back to them and it's as though no time has passed!
I'm really glad I've saved my yearbooks and basically everything from that time because I still have his notes saying I'm queen of China and everything in the world.

After finding out his diagnosis they made a foundation to raise money for awareness and they've been doing a good job at making events and getting people involved:
