Post by: Phoenix004 on July 25, 2009, 12:42:27 PM: Nice to meet you! Welcome to RAF! :)

Nothing wrong with being nocturnal, I also have a habit of being a night person. And sometimes I swear some of the people on this forum are just caffeine-powered robots that have no need for sleep! ;D

Post by: HiImshort on July 25, 2009, 05:52:57 PM: All of you been very kind so I'll return the favor. My real name is Joel, btw. I preference it more than anything else. And Estelore I hate to tell you but I'm not short. I came up with the name because everyone I know calls me shorty. I'm actually BION 6'8". I'm actually embaressed to say this but I nver read Animorphs. I only came here to look for the e-books and leave but now that i see how nice everyone is here i think I'll stay.

Spartan, i think i can handle this place. Trust me. I've seen it all.

Post by: HiImshort on July 25, 2009, 06:14:27 PM: Hello. Ash (pokemon fan huh? me too), Richard (nice sign), Estalore (nice avatar. I miss the anamaniacs), Phoenix004 (nice name), bladepaw (I have a pet rock ;D), Gaz (long time no see), Alic (IIRC you made the topic with all the pictures. I would have posted if i had a picture to download), Spartan (I'm sorry but every time I see Parker it cracks me up.), and finally foxglade (I saw i was one of few that liked country music. Oh i forgot to mention that my rock's name is Herman.)

Hello to everybody.

Hello to everybody.

I'm pretty sure Ash does not have an interest in Pokemon, although my username (thanks for the compliment BTW) ironically does have a Pokemon reference! (004 = Charmander)

Post by: HiImshort on July 25, 2009, 06:34:02 PM: After a while I was just throwing stuff out from what I saw. I'm normally not nocturnal and now I'm tired.
Title: Re: Hello. I'm new to this board.
Post by: Phoenix004 on July 25, 2009, 06:38:33 PM: Really? What time is it there?
Title: Re: Hello. I'm new to this board.
Post by: HiImshort on July 25, 2009, 06:45:54 PM: 7:42 p.m. Way too early to go to sleep now. I'm going to drink some green tea to stay awake. This is not fun. I had an all nighter, no sleep.
Title: Re: Hello. I'm new to this board.
Post by: Phoenix004 on July 25, 2009, 06:48:27 PM: Ah right, that sucks. I thought it was early there that's why I was a little surprised. It's 12:48am here and I'm still up, although I am a night person, lol.
Title: Re: Hello. I'm new to this board.
Post by: HiImshort on July 25, 2009, 07:05:31 PM: Your only 5 hours ahead of me. Yeah ahead. Hey, I like to make a good battle base. Do you have a competitive team? If you do I like to have a challenge. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Wow those were fun.
Title: Re: Hello. I'm new to this board.
Post by: Ash on July 25, 2009, 11:11:30 PM: Haha, no worries, I get the pokemon fan thing a lot. Ironically, no one specified Ash was the trainer dude, so I always thought it was a pokemon instead ;) Also, I finally read a Pokemon book yesterday.. And seeing my name on every page freaked me out, haha.. Not to the mention the 'hes'. I'm a girl =P Btw, you're 6"8!? Wow.. Thats pretty cool =)
Title: Re: Hello. I'm new to this board.
Post by: HiImshort on July 26, 2009, 12:10:06 AM: Thanks for the compliment. Most people just stare and say some 4 letter words that I won't post. Then the tyical words after: Your Tall. Before anyone asks I don't play basketball. On subject though, wow. No one mentioned that he's the trainer. Well I could understand that. They think you know about pokemon and you have no idea what their talking about. It doesn't change anything but it is worth mentioning.

Ash. Who knew? Small world. Thaks for saying hi.
Title: Re: Hello. I'm new to this board.
Post by: HiImshort on July 26, 2009, 12:46:37 AM: I forgot to mention. My avatar here is actually from the first pokemon movie. It's a Mewtwo which at the time was the most powerful pokemon. IMO he still is but that's for another time. Hey, fake coffee and donuts, or tea and donuts, or water and donuts. All on me. :laugh:

Post by: Gaz on July 26, 2009, 12:06:33 PM: I have a couple of tall uncles. One is 6'4" and the other is 6'7".
Title: Re: Hello. I'm new to this board.
Post by: HiImshort on July 26, 2009, 02:15:58 PM: Ah, ok. The only relative remotely close to my height is one of my cousns. He's 6'4" 6'3" somewhere around there. After that no one is even close, all 6 foot and lower. Want a fake donut?
Title: Re: Hello. I'm new to this board.
Post by: Estelore on July 26, 2009, 05:26:03 PM: I'll take a fake donut, if you'd like some hypothetical marshmallows. :D
I'm a major poke'fan, and I do battle competitively. Are you familiar with NetBattleSupremacy? I can often be found on Minun's "That One Place" server or in the MewBlastBurners server.

It's okay that you're not short. *pats your shoulder* We can't all be perfect, after all. ;)
Title: Re: Hello. I'm new to this board.
Post by: HiImshort on July 26, 2009, 06:36:31 PM: A fork spontaniously appears and grabs the hypothetical marshmellow. :thanks:

*Starts eating marshmellow.* "mfhhvhddshchydhshgc hdhdydxhshgtxchysgc gsggshfheyfdndhdndd shdnsydh." *swallows marshmellow.*

NetBattleSupremacy? No, never heard of it :( I'm part of a competitive forum called themidnightalliance . i get advice from them. unfortunetly, i don't actually compete because i don't have a router, yet. :'(

your right i don't have to be perfect. i MUST be BIGGER then perfect. :laugh: I be more perfector. :owned:
Title: Re: Hello. I'm new to this board.

Anyway, my abbreviated team: Shiny Espeon, Gardevoir, Salamence, Flygon, Empoleon, Roserade.

It is what it is. :)

My team as of right now: eeveelutions minus umbreon. ;D

I also have an UBER team: Mewtwo, Ho-Oh, Rayquaza, Kyogre, Lugia, Wobuffet :lol:

Yeah, I recognized him right away, that's a sick pic of him.

He totally is still the most powerful monster in the Pokeverse!

Post by: wildweathel on July 27, 2009, 08:27:04 AM: 80"? 203cm? That's not short. That's a HQ of 155! Impressive. Welcome to Animorphs and RAF.

We'll get you yet.
:controller:
Title: Re: Hello. I'm new to this board.
Post by: HiImshort on July 27, 2009, 01:07:03 PM: Spartan i like the picture. I don't like what he did but i do like the picture.

Weathel, what are you talking about? 80" 203 cm HQ of 155? What in the world are you talking about?

BTW, your going to have a fight on your hands if you think I'm going to be contolled. :starwars: :hide:
Title: Re: Hello. I'm new to this board.
Post by: Darth Revan on July 27, 2009, 01:58:28 PM: Yeah Weathel, what was that? 80 inches?

why does (almost) everyone on here confuse the (' & ") meanings for feet and inches?

' = feet, " = inches, c'mon people!

((I realize that Shortie and Gaz used them correctly, thus the "(almost)"))
Title: Re: Hello. I'm new to this board.
Post by: wildweathel on July 27, 2009, 02:31:44 PM: 6' 8" = 6 * 12 + 8 = 80 inches.
= 203 centimeters.

"HQ" is "height quotient," 100 + 15 * z-score of height. I've never heard of it before, myself, but I defined it by analogy with "IQ," which is:

100 + 15 * z-score of performance on analytic reasoning task.

I guess I'm just off in the clouds. Which is strange, since my HQ is only 122.

(And, yes, it was a set-up for this overly-elaborate and not-funny joke.)
Title: Re: Hello. I'm new to this board.
Post by: Estelore on July 27, 2009, 03:21:48 PM: *shrug* I understood the first time and found it amusing. ;)
Title: Re: Hello. I'm new to this board.
Post by: HiImshort on July 27, 2009, 04:28:41 PM: OK. Sure, right. I understand completely and I won't ask again. Right! :headbang:

There we go the headbang.

Okay. Geesh.

Give me time to read the first five books since well right now I'm having some pain in my ribs. It hurts badly and my legs hurt more than usual.

Post by: HiImshort on July 28, 2009, 05:02:47 PM: Double post, very nasty.

i just finished the first book and I'm looking for the second in the library. BTW, I'm using the library for my internet connection ATM. So i can't annoy as much as i want to. :'(

So in about a half an hour i will be saying bye.

Long story.

Hello. I'm new to this board. How is everybody? i can't sleep for some reason or other so I'm being nocturnal for a little while. ;D

Well, I'm sorry I missed this! I have a horrid tendency to avoid this board, haha.
Anyway:

Welcome to RAF!!! My name's Broken, but, if you prefer, you can call me Cody.

And if you're still doin' that whole nocturnal thing, I'll be glad to keep you company, I work night shift! :D
Anyway, again, welcome! And enjoy your stay here! Has the Seal been around to collect your sanity yet?
Title: Re: Hello. I'm new to this board.
Post by: HiImshort on July 29, 2009, 02:57:32 PM: I believe so. Question: What is sanity?

i never heard that word before in my life. Am i supposed to have "sanity'? is that some sort of religion? Shorty not understand what "sanity is. (I know what sanity is. That's a joke.) I'm sleeping by the way. That was a one time thing that i have when it becomes too HOT. :( :2cents: :chill: :happybirthday: :edit: :spam: :bump: :offtopic: :lol: :andalite: :andalitef: :taxxon: :horkf: :controller: :andalite2: :taxxon2: :horkf2:

Post by: Dameg on September 09, 2009, 12:57:11 PM: Hello newbies!!
I'm in late, I know, but my job is pretty serious:
I usually introduce the projects we have here on RAF to the newbies like you, Android & Fox:

- The Ebooks project: [Help wanted!] Animorphs (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=14.0 (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=14.0)), Remnants (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,157.0.html (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,157.0.html) <= finished) and Everworld (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,331.0.html (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,331.0.html)); we need somebody to scan the volume #10 of Everworld, and the other Everworld/Animorphs ebooks need to be cleaned a little (mistakes, we don't know where the chapters begin and finish, etc.) so if you wanna be a correcter... call me, I head that projects.

- RAFipedia: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=22.0 (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=22.0), an encyclopedia headed up by Estelore, our star (a true star, who make light and burn in space... but she has a body to come on Earth);

- the Audiobooks project: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=15.0 (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=15.0), a full-cast audio version of Animorphs who need more "actors" and voices, headed by MrGuy, Morfowt and Wildweathel;

- the Translation project: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,1907.0.html (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,1907.0.html), a recently started project/mutual support group for translations into other languages; currently only in French (Tocade, Anidragon and myself), Chinese (Morfowt), Indonesian (Nat), Swedish (Mira and Zana), and Esperanto (Wildweathel); we translate only the volumes never edited in our countries/languages, to make the ebooks;

- the Graphic Novel project: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,416.0.html (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,416.0.html) and http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,2276.0.html (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,2276.0.html), a Webcomic headed by Gafrash.

- the RPG project: a role-playing game (on table, with paper, pen and dices...) about the World of Animorphs; I head this project, and it'll be write in French at the beginning, but we need help to find, class and write everything we know about the species, the planets, the powers we see in Animorphs, fix them, see what we keep and what we can't keep (because of the KASU, not clear, exception for the main characters/books, etc.), complete the knowledges about species/planets we know and even create new species/planets...; this project will be on my own website, so if you wanna join, ask me the link ^^ ;

- the Smiley project: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,1691.0.html (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,1691.0.html), we make Animated gifs, smileys about Animorphs (Andalites, Hork-Bajirs...);

- the RAFkaraoke: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,3150.0.html (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,3150.0.html), where we make songs and sing them... It's pretty new... But please sing with us!

Are you a Human or from another species? Please add yourself on the list: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,2154.0.html (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,2154.0.html)

Post by: Venus on September 10, 2009, 09:31:22 PM: Hello, I'm Venus, and obviously new.

Let's see, semi interesting things about myself. I'm 25 and became an Animorphs fan waaayyyy back when the books were still new. I think book 5 had juuuuust come out when i became obsessed with the series. Tobias is my favorite character, I always love the angsty ones.

I'm a chick quite obviously, short, 5'1 with long black hair. A cat person by nature. I'm a film school graduate with an interest in film editing, particularly editing for animation. I would love to work for pixar but that's a long way off.

I have a DeviantArt account and draw fanart, though nothing for Animorphs quite yet. There will be, I'm working on an R/T piece but finishing anything takes me months. My DA name is MummifiedCat-Head

And that's about all I can think of about myself that anyone would find particularly interesting.
Title: Re: Hello. I'm new to this board.
Post by: Dameg on September 11, 2009, 05:07:55 AM: Welcome Venus ^^ Please read everything about the Projects, and add your species (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,3548.msg257340.html#msg257340 (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,3548.msg257340.html#msg257340)).
We still need help for the projects, so don't hesitate to participate, please! ;)
I hope you'll have a good time on RAF ^^ Please leave your sanity to our seal...

I'm Spartan 281

I suggest you should make a new thread/topic so others can properly greet you.
Title: Re: Hello. I'm new to this board.
Post by: HiImshort on September 11, 2009, 01:19:04 PM: I agree with Parker. This topic is just about dead. You might find 1 or 2 people here, like me. But you won't get many. Oh btw my name isn't short anymore, it's Android 17, 18, 19, and 20. Well it will be in a few minutes. So welcome.

You 5'1"? I'm 6'8" ;D.

Post by: Faerie Larka on September 11, 2009, 04:00:01 PM: Hiya, Venus! It's a pleasure to meet you.

And, even though it's already been said, I would suggest you make your very own personal thread so we can greet you properly :)

We're also completely insane :D

SO! Without further ado, WELCOME!!!
