So I'm going to try and make a comeback here. My posts per day used to be at 16, and now it's at like 7 or something. Haven't been on here in months, I've been busy with life and finishing high school and stuff. I know it's shown that I've been online a lot, but that's because it logs me in every time someone opens the browser, since vizzed is my homepage. I've only come online every now and again to get my 300 Viz on sundays and stuff.


So, Vizzed, I haven't been active since the second last week of April's VCS. What's changed? Anything important I should be aware of?

Also, hello to anyone who even remembers me!

Good to see that your back BTowns, hope you're here to stay!

There are screenshot competitions now that you can take screenshots with the Vizzed RGR Plugin, also, high score compos.

New Forum in the Gamers Circle

And that's all I can remember

Oh, game discussion, I see, thanks. I see that people can make peoples names highlighted with a link, how do you do that? And what does it do? DO you just type their name with a colon, and does it just inform them that you replied?

Yeah pretty much. Like this

BTowns :

Welcome back! I was waiting for you to return. So, what caused this inactivity?

Well, pennylessz and a new user named supersudowoodo quit, but they still lurk,
DarkHyren is a global again,
Geeogree has 9466 posts,
The new item shop still didn't come out,
We are also speculating NetPlay, which is online multiplayer,
Me, noelia, BreakDown, and bignatealpha are mods,
There's been a recent surge in newbie activity, and most of them can't spell for their life,
There is a ton of comebacks from awesome members like John, iBock, Crono, you, Surgiac, almost Joebab, and Arllue.
Dramabethie and Zeldisaster have a little bit of a financial problem, and they cannot be on Vizzed anymore, although they check in once and a while.

alexanyways : you forgot that I'm also global again. I'm not sure that I was global back in April.... maybe I was and I've just gotten used to it now. I did step down for a bit and come back.... has it really been 3 months that I've been global now? strange...

BTowns : welcome back buddy! I've missed seeing you around. You're one of my favorite members...

Welcome back BTowns
It's good having you back, you used to be a good poster, as I can remember, but we were wondering what happened to you!
As long as what's new on vizzed, I think that alex and geeogree have already mentioned everything

alexanyways : Wow, lots has happened. Thanks for the update! You guys are all mods? Congrats! Last time I was on here, DH had been really inactive so I guess he's back now, lol. Yeah, I see no item shop, I've been looking. How disappointing I've been lurking the chat a bit, and yes, the newbies are terrible, lol! No offense, guys. Wow, when I left a bunch of those guys were still active! I've really been gone a long time lol. Sad to hear about Beth and Zeld They were great posters and nice people.

geeogree : You're one of my favorites too, oh powerful global mod! You were global back in April, since you ran the VCS and threw a few bans around to spammers, lol.

noelia : Yeah, they have, lol, but thanks for the welcome!



And in answer to what happened to me, mostly school. Last few months of high school had lots of teachers trying to cram in the curriculum which meant lots of homework, tests, and studying. I've been going to a lot of concerts lately, which usually means driving across the border into the states, so it's a day long commitment that's eaten my weekends. I've started playing my DS again, since I've been on the go a lot, and spent some of my free time on DS or reading a book, instead of Vizzed. I also burned myself out a little during the April VCS, getting more than 50 posts a day some times. I gave up during the last week of it, which gave up my shot at potentially second or third and dropped me to sixth, which hurt my motivation to post a little.

A big reason is also that I haven't really felt like posting. I've lately felt in need of more alone time, just me and no other opinions, lol. I'd see vizzed every time I opened my browser, since it's my home page, but just didn't feel like posting past lurking the chat for a few minutes or attending the church of vizzed.

I'm trying to be active again, and hope I'll manage to at least make a few posts a day.

Tsk, tsk. Trying to steal my thunder again.
I'll get you, my pretty. You and your little dog, too.

Alright, so many people returning, you, Annette, Crono... YES!
So yeah, DNG, John, and iBock started posting again (not that you'd know them), Light Knight disappeared, and has now returned... somewhat, JusTReal left, DH is back and global again, XFighter has been demoted to RGR Staff again, I got my username changed to bigNATE, and alex, BreakDown, noelia, and myself are now locals . You can hit "reply to post" or simply type in someone's username at the beginning of the sentence and it will summon them, NetPlay is on hold for quite some time, the item shop SHOULD be out soon... but thankfully, you've missed all the Bobbynibbles drama... so far. Glad to have you back though!

BTowns : ah welcome back btowns. it seems everyone is coming back lol.

drag00n365 : Thanks for the welcome. Yeah, maybe life is calming down a bit for the summer? I dunno.

bigNATE : I actually saw some of the nibbles drama, lurking the chat now and then. It was very, umm... dramatic? LOL Why the name change, by the way. Do you not like being the first, alpha? When I was on vizzed in April the item shop was supposed to be out soon, David actually had a deadline in the first week or so of May, I think. Oh well, must be a lot of work.

Annette : Um, girl, you better calm down that attitude or I'm gunna have to drop a house on you or something. Mmk?

BTowns : I don't know, it was just kinda long and I use it everywhere, so I figured I'd change it up a bit, lol. And yeah, the item shop has been pushed rather far back. But it's worth it, I've seen a little bit of what's to come .

So I made this thread about coming back to vizzed, and then my computer broke Until I get a new laptop battery I won't really be able to come on here much, if it all. And it broke just in time for the VCS, with real awards

sure sure.... likely excuse!

Don't worry... I'll spot you some points when you finally start posting again

Welcome back BTowns!

Wow, that was depressing. I finally try making my comeback and then my laptop busts. Finally got it working, had to buy a new battery.

Just so you all know, don't buy Dell. You can't even send tech support an email unless you have the warranty that says you can. There's a chip in Dell laptops that checks whether or not you're using a Dell AC adapter, and since I'm not, I can't charge my battery. I have 33% power remaining, and unless I leave it plugged in, that number will go down until the battery is dead like my last one, and I can't turn the computer on.

That's just evil that you can't use their products unless you constantly buy more of their products, to fix the last product you bought! When this thing gives up the will to live, I'm getting a macbook.

welcome back... again.

Stick around a little longer next time.

And don't buy a mac book.... you don't have to do something -that- drastic.... just don't buy dell again

geeogree : I actually feel like such a loser for saying that I'm back and then having my computer die. It's such terrible timing. It was really weird being without constant internet for that long. I read so many books, beat so many DS games, did so many things I used to do before the internet slowly and steadily devoured my life. Internet is an addiction, and I'm relapsing now, LOL

Well, as it stands I'm starting to not trust Microsoft OS computers. Since there's so many, they all compete and will do dastardly things like Dell is. I've tried Vaio and HP, and neither of them were great or lasted that long. It seems to me, by my experience, that Microsoft OS laptops are designed to last around 2 or 3 years, with a max life of 5 or 6, before becoming a complete hassle to use. Annette is a mac advocate, and has (or maybe had) a macbook that was 15 years old, and still working great with no replacement parts or cords or any of the garbage I've dealt with the past 5 years or so of using Windows laptops.

Another thing that's new is that I'm here. =D

But I have only been here a month, so I don't know this site's past. =/
