Social Smash 4 Social 6.0 - 『ONE YEAR OF SOCIAL 6.0!』

[Jason the Yoshi]

You know something? Ever since I left Minnesota and moved into the dorm here, I've started crying pretty often. I dunno whether it's because of things that go on in this thread concerning our friends not being as active as they used to, or me missing my mom and dad, me missing my girlfriend, Iwata's passing away, me missing my cats, or maybe it's just me missing Minnesota, I just feel like as soon as I set out for my major out here hundreds of miles from home, I just feel like I've been breaking out into tears far more often.

Big text dump of thoughts and reflections.


Howdy, all. I think a good majority of regulars know exactly who I am so there is no need to write a cinematic introduction.

What I am writing about, however, is the name I have [unfortunately] made for myself in the past few months. Whenever someone mentions the name “Space Stranger”, generally the first two thoughts are the “guy with the Woody avatar” and “the ****poster”. The latter of which I am not very proud of as of late.

I have just returned from my second ban on SmashBoards which allowed me to reflect on my actions while using other websites. For the past two weeks, I’ve been hanging out on KYM just doing what I do best: posting memes, talking about television shows/video games, and, of course, ****posting. I noticed that KYM has a specific sub-section reserved solely for the practice which allowed me to resume my care-free posting habits from before. Ironically, this time spent away from SmashBoards gave the ability to lurk from behind the scenes to understand why I’ve received a numerous amount of infractions. Occasionally, I would check back here to look up new posts in my toy and Disney threads, look for PMs that were sent, and general lurking.

The latest thread lock opened my eyes to the moderation’s frustration with the thread’s antics. Reading Hylian’s post, I realized that I’m definitely one of members to blame for the declining drop in post quality. I read my older posts where I provoked the moderation with reaction images, deliberately started ****posting out of boredom, and whined over the rule change in 4.0.

Why am I writing all of this? My second ban gave me the opportunity to see that I completely sullied my reputation as a result of my habits. It’s not very fun to play the bad guy if you eventually feel bad about the actions you’ve made.

As a result of the recent events that have transpired, I’m going to go on a self-exile from all social threads. I know that it’s not necessary but I think it would be rather inappropriate to rejoin regular conversation without atoning for my actions.

While I’m definitely not leaving the site (I’ll be haunting my Disney thread and the Pool Room for example), I don’t think a lot of remaining regulars have the same amount of respect for me in light of the recent lock. Even though I’m not the only one to blame, I’m definitely a major catalyst to the problem.

Thanks for everything, guys. I’m sad that I decided to leave on such a sour note but I don’t want to further jeopardize the longevity of this thread.

Well, this came out of the blue. I wish you all the best, and of course, you know where to find us. Been a great 12 months, right? While I do think leaving all social threads is a bit too far (like @ allison said), it's definitely a good idea in order to prevent that stuff from happening again.

I for one have toned down the usage of my catchphrases in order to avoid getting anything and stuff. I think everyone [else] here has changed their ways of posting as well, thanks to the rule changes and Hylian's post.

So long, space cowboy, you'll be missed.

 

[Soul.]

My pessimism be damned. I feel like I screwed up this thread. Sigh.


I'll miss your posts, @Space Stranger. Until we meet again in some other social thread.

Also, the only thread I would gladly run forever is my Technology thread, found in my signature. I have yet to contact an administrator to give away my ownership of the social thread. I'll probably do that later.

 

[PF9]

For the next Smash, the announcer should be specific to each local release of the game, so that they can maybe use well-known sports announcers. For the US release, I'd like Al Michaels.

Well, that's quite saddening news, but I'm glad to see you've looked back at and thought about your posts.

I understand and respect your decision, but forgive me for saying that I'm not sure I entirely agree with it. I think you could honestly adjust and rejoin this thread and others perfectly fine in due time. Spending less time here for a while, take some time to get more used to it, perhaps. But abandoning them for good? I think that might be rushing a pretty big decision in too little time, even if you've been thinking it over for a few weeks now.

Whatever you choose to do, I'll still respect it. In spite of your username, you're certainly no stranger to this thread, and I think I can speak for the majority of us here when I say that we'd all be quite glad if you stuck around. If you do decide to come back sometime, then great!

Until that time may come, see you around the galaxy, partner.

I still think they should get the Super Meat Boy announcer.

POOSH DA BUTTONS!
CHAPTER COMPLETE!

I dunno whether it's because of things that go on in this thread concerning our friends not being as active as they used to, or me missing my mom and dad, me missing my girlfriend, Iwata's passing away, me missing my cats, or maybe it's just me missing Minnesota, I just feel like as soon as I set out for my major out here hundreds of miles from home, I just feel like I've been breaking out into tears far more often.

Maybe you subconsciously feel more comfortable with expressing your emotions with tears because there are less people to ridicule you for doing so

Maybe you should try and go down there and visit your family and friends when you get the chance, if not that, then get into contact with them through phone calls, e-mails, etc.. Sounds like you're maybe stressed out by the change, or (god forbid) maybe even a bit depressed. If what you're saying isn't just an exaggeration, it can't be good for you to just let it keep going.

I don't think that may work, because that means a little bit of money used in the specific announcers, but that's a good idea to have different spanish announcers in Latin America and Spain

.....
And having Smash Bros. in México narrated by el Perro Bermudez would be so hilarious
If someone doesn't know Bermudez, plz google him for a good laugh

 

[Jason the Yoshi]

I don't quite understand what you mean.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

@ Professor Pumpkaboo Maybe spread the word in other threads like the Robin Social, Villager sub-forum and the Layton thread... I can spread it in the Isabelle thread if you want

Oooh thank, dont do it yet because I'm still thinking about it. This would be the first time I ever made a General discussion thread

I'd think they both would do better than my thread considering Animal Crossing and Prof. Layton are more reconized than Conker. Not to mention you are a more popular user than me.

Me? Popular? When did this happen? O.o

 

[_gold_]

@Space Stranger

Farewell, friend. Take care.

 

[Trick or Treat]

I'll miss your posts, @Space Stranger. Until we meet again in some other social thread.

What the hell is your problem? What, of all things, could you have possibly "screwed up" in this thread? You are a cool person (when you're not repeatedly bringing up the same complaints over and over again) and I like you but if you think you are able to screw up this thread then that is just being egotistical and self-centered. I'm not sure what on Earth or Mars you think got screwed up but I don't see anything, whether you are pessimistic or not, because who gives a ****, being pessimistic is perfectly fine unless you overdo it hut the same can be said for being overly positive and even false self-pity isn't enough to ruin anything here.

I also still don't see any grudges against you.

Try to keep contact with your family and girlfriend using e-mail or Skype if you're far away from them, like @Chucklehead Tom said. That should help.

How come when I upload from my phone, images are sideways?

I was depressed over the summer... If possible you could contact your family members and your Girlfriend.

As for the members of the social thread... Most of them have left but we still have the rest! Don't be sad! If you ever feel sad... Take a rest or maybe talk to your friends about how you feel.

 

[Silvera]

How come when I upload from my phone, images are sideways?

Was your phone facing sideways when you took the picture?

 

[aldelaro5]

How come when I upload from my phone, images are sideways?

i jsut did that some days ago and opening in gimp actually told me the answer.

There's something in the image that tells it "hey this image shoudl be rotated". Gimp can handle that, but for whatever reasons, SB doesn't handle it.

Just open it in an image editing program and rotate it manually.

it's really weird I know.....

 

[Mythra]

Im definetly going to play SMB The Lost Levels and without warping for bragging rights purposes
Super Mario Bros. Deluxe doesn't have the levels 9, A, B, C and D, also the wind hazards are removed. So Im getting it from the 3DS Virtual Console to have the full game experience.

Actually, now that I think about it, maybe I should get Skype so I can keep up with my parents and my girlfriend back in Minnesota. As of now I've only been doing FaceTime and Texting.

I feel a bit better now. Good night everyone!

 

[Professor Gravy]

I don't quite understand what you mean.

don't worry neither do I

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

How come when I upload from my phone, images are sideways?

Are you holding the phone sideways or not? I think you can rotate it in the gallery when you are viewing it also

 

[Deleted member]

How come when I upload from my phone, images are sideways?

I don't really know, to be honest. I prefer to take a picture from a phone, and then tweak it on the computer before uploading.

 

[(Buddha)]

I am so stupid. Thank you

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I am so stupid. Thank you

Well that puzzle is solved

 

[Professor Gravy]

Well that puzzle is solved

I think people being stupid is the answer to every puzzle

 

[(Buddha)]

Well that puzzle is solved

lol nvm.

Do you know which way I need to turn it?

Hey.
Hey Flight.
Pssssstt.
Hey Fliiiiight.

Well that puzzle is solved

*insert Layton here*

 

[aldelaro5]

lol nvm.

Do you know which way I need to turn it?

When I got that, I was holding it vertically (I tried horizontal, but the flash sucked).

So.....maybe it actually detects with its gyroscope if you held it horizontal or vertical.

Meaning, try horizontal and see if it does say to rotate it.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

lol nvm.

Do you know which way I need to turn it?

Right now, I think you need to turn it to the right

Oh you meant which way to turn the phone? that I have no idea because most of mine turn out sideways too and I rotate them in the Galley

I also still don't see any grudges against you.

Ever since the movie fad started, I've been like the antagonist of this thread, often wanting the thread to be locked. Others thought I really wanted the thread locked for real but no. I only want it locked if people don't comply with their word to raise the quality of their posts, but if they do that, then there's no need to take that thread lock thing I did seriously.

My problem is not the pessimism, it's not the thread itself, but how things have changed. I don't mean to be an *** but like, that's how I feel whenever I come to this thread. That when I come here I'll just get **** on because of me saying "lol thread lock."
It was not like this in previous threads. I just want to come here without being "the thread locker" or whatever.

I do realize I bring up the same complaints over and over, but that's because I want said complaints to stop.
When I post in this thread, I often regret doing it, because of this again.

I'll just take my leave and post whenever I feel like coming here as that's what I was supposed to do the moment this thread was locked/open after the lock.

Sorry to have wasted everyone's time on this. Really am.

 

[Mythra]

Sometimes when I upload cellphone photos here they appear sideways despite I rotated them before upload
Maybe the data of the photo itself still makes the site show the image without the manual rotation.

 

[Deleted member]

Hey.
Hey Flight.
Pssssstt.
Hey Fliiiiight.

Well, I don't really main the character anymore and am out of place in that thread.. makes no sense for me to own it at this point. I'll definitely talk with an admin about it.

Finally, an excuse to grab my forged Medical Degree once more.

Oh, when you were talking about grudges I forgot to say something.
To me, you are like Leffen. Some of us can get really annoyed at you but we still respect and like you. Sometimes you say something i dont like but give me some time, and i will be over it. I really dont think there is anyone who has a grudge on you. And when i say your like Leffen to me, thats good. Because I really like Leffen.

The thing you don't seem to grasp is that no one actually sees you that way. You seem to have this built-up world in your head where everyone here hates you and ****s on you.

But for ****s sake none of that is true. You may be seen as the "antagonist" in this like the movie but how many people here actually dislike you or think you want the thread to end? Can probably count the number of people on one hand.

It isn't all about you, Soul. If this thread is "ruined" or screwed up in anyway it sure as hell isn't because of you. Look at how many other people post here daily. Stop with the "woe is me" attitude and don't worry so much about what is going on. If anyone here seriously has a problen and sees you as an enemy then that is their problem and **** them, if they cause any trouble. Your habits of repeating things over and over annoys me, and you right pissed me off when you kept bringing up your fights with Obo and Toasty even after they had already stopped but never have I once had a negative opinion of you as a person or wantes you to leave. I actually like you a lot.

(I have no idea why you quoted that while saying it so I'm a bit confused of how random that was said.....).

Oh, Flight. What a jokester.

Alright, I'm heading out. I'll see you all tomorrow, most likely.

EDIT:
Oh boy oh boy look who's a Smash Ace
