Ok, i found this article elsewhere and figured it would be good to add to the site... or just be a good laugh to all the people who aren't n00bs on this site.

A. INTRO
I. What is this?
This guide is designed to give you a better understanding of what a noob is, how to recognize them, some details about them, and how to avoid or get rid of them. It mostly applies to online forums, which are the main targets of migrating noobs.
II. Defining 'Noob'
Contrary to the belief of many, a noob/n00b and a newbie/newb are not the same thing. Newbs are those who are new to some task* and are very beginner at it, possibly a little overconfident about it, but they are willing to learn and fix their errors to move out of that stage. Noobs, on the other hand, know little and have no will to learn any more. They expect people to do the work for them and then expect to get praised about it, and make up a unique species of their own. It is the latter we will study in this guide so that the reader is prepared to encounter them in the wild if needed.
Noobs are often referred to as n00bs as a sign of disrespect toward them, and it's often hella funny, but I will refer to them as noobs during this reading.
* Usually the topic at hand on an internet forum.
B. COMMON NOOB CHARACTERISTICS
I. Noobish
Often, but not always, noobs will attempt to communicate in their own primitive language, known as noobish. It is a variant of the hacker language that exposes them as having little intelligence or will to learn. Here is an example of some noobish. Do not attempt to comprehend it: it cannot be discerned without professionals at hand.
stFU /\/\an, i r teh r0xx0rz liek emin3m, u cna go tO EHLL OR ATLE4St help m3 wit hthIS!!111!!!!!!!1~~1!!``!! LOLLOLOLLOLOLlOoLLOlollLLl u n00b
Although you may find this unbelievably funny and/or annoying, it is best to restrain yourself and keep from talking back to them, as they are very territorial and easily angered. This will result in their attempted verbal abuse of you, possibly backed up by other noobs, because they work in packs when doing offensive tasks. It is not an easy task to learn this language because our intelligent accent will keep it from sounding quite right when spoken. You can write some simple noobish of your own, however, by slamming your face into your keyboard repeatedly.
II. Where to find noobs
On the internet, noobs make their colonies on forums. They migrate in waves, usually on weekends, and proceed to clog up bandwidth with stupid questions and sometimes even stupid answers. If you happen to be unfortunate enough to be on a board large enough to attract migrating noobs, there will hopefully be authority in charge who is smart enough to take extermination measures before they can make nests and larger colonies.
Larger colonies can result in the mutation of some into spammers. Not commercial spammers, but pointless spammers. A noob can become one of these at any point, but the larger the amount of noobs, the more chance pointless spammers will appear.
Off the internet, noobs appear anywhere the focus is on learning or discussing something specific.
III. Behavior of noobs
Since noobs are basically ignorant bastards, they have a lot in common. The most often seen characteristic is their fluency in noobish, which is why it got its own section. They will also be very self confident as if they were the absolute best at what they are in fact the worst at. Also, they are quite agressive and self-centered, and tend to laugh a lot using many L's and O's in rapid sucession (the noobish word for laughing like an ultimate retard).
It is their instinct to assemble in packs for defense, and they often attempt to organize packs that they call teams. Unfortunately for them, teams usually result in a total loss of communication and they can often begin to fight amongst each other. These teams are quite unlike those formed by non-noobs.
Noobs have difficulty reading english and cannot comprehend the idea of authority.
Therefore, they have an all-out disregard for rules, basic or not. A good way to identify a noob (bad) vs. a newb (good) is to tell them (or have an authority tell them) which rule they are unknowingly breaking. If they respond with an apology and fix it, they are probably not a noob. If they react by insulting everything around them in rapid noobish and causing general mayhem, it is because they are a noob and have had a small seizure due to their inability to understand what is happening.
IV. Noob religion
Noobs follow a variation of the 1337 (sometimes 7331) religion, in which they worship the number in odd rituals and put altars in their forum avatars and signatures. They often call themselves 1337, which experts say is somewhat like calling themselves godly in a human language. It's best to not interfere with their religious fantasies and practices because that can lead to a noob uprising, which can turn a forum to mush in less than a week.
V. More about noob habitats
Noobs often attempt to maintain their own web pages. Some common features of these lairs are a terrible lack of content, background music, lots of pointless animated gifs, and pages that say some variation of 'tHEir isnothinG H34r yEtt LOLLOLOL!111!1!!~~~!!`! 13371337', which means 'Nothing here yet' in noobish.
They will also have large, seemingly infinite marquees of 88X31 affiliate buttons replaced with red X's scattered here and there, and possibly a hit counter showing a number less than 100. These habitats are numerous but fairly easy to avoid because only noobs link to them. So if you can identify a noob, don't go to its homepage. Simple as that.
C. AVOIDING NOOBS
I. Make sure you aren't one
Note: This section is bilingual so even noobs can make the discovery if they haven't already.
English (T4lk)-
Read the above parts of this guide carefully. If you find yourself unable to comprehend any of it but are instead beginning to think about how great you are and how awesome 'teh 1337' is, you might want to take one of the many available online quizzes to check your noobancy.

II. Major noob avoiding strategies
The main factor in attracting migrating herds of noobs is a large, active forum. If you find one of these, look to see if it has the management to avoid noob infestation. If not, look for a small or mid-sized forum that covers the same topic so you can enjoy your time there before the noobs find it.
Another way to keep noobs from interfering with your life is to become part of the authority on one of these forums. But that's often hard to do so you'll probably be better off avoiding larger forums first off. If you do manage to become part of the authority, however, take full advantage of it and establish extermination policies so that normal people can have a nice time without noob infestations.
____________________________________________________________________
Dakura's Sidenotes:-
1. If you ever decide to speak n00bish... I'm sure any and all of the moderators/admin would be more then pleased to bann you.
2. Although the guide suggests going to smaller forums to avoid n00bs... the moderators/admin here are more then capable of dealing with any and all n00bs on the site... so no need to find a different site.
3. Mods and Admin of YGOL vrs n00bs... guess who always wins!
4. For the record, download n00b = n00b who is only here to download and who doesn't post all that often. However, if they do post, then their posts usually involve words such as "why can't i download", "i want to download 'such and such'" and/or "i have 30 posts... why aren't i in the passed group yet".

Saw this posted by dak and as perfectly writen just gave me idea that should have this on a pinned topic. So its simple to see what groups are so no need for topics/pm's etc about this -.-
Newbie = rank that a member starts off in when they join the forum
Loyal = rank that mickey manually moves a person into once they have a certain number of decent posts and are as the name suggests, 'loyal'.
Media Center = rank that is given to members who help keep the site up and running due to their donation. Accounts have a few nice perks such as more downloads, larger inbox, bonus in army system and various other things.
Mini Moderator = a moderator with basic moderating powers. Mickey selects these personally.
Super Moderator = a moderator with a few extra powers then mini-mods. Mickey selects these personally.
Mini Admin = a moderator with all super moderating powers plus access to the admin-cp. Mickey selects these personally.
Admin = webmaster of this site (aka mickey). Nobody but him will be this rank.

May I say several words about the realisation of the idea first...
The original factor that pushed me to bring a topic about it years ago, when it was actually my fresh time on the forum, was simply an enthusiasm - initiated by discoveries I was making during my personal experiments. After the time that has passed since then, the whole matter gained a little different direction since it doesn't own the same bright light which made me want to share it. Due to some kind of promise that I made I brought the idea into creation with hope you will find in it at least a bit of the kind of interest I had originally.
- - -
Starting from the end to get to the beginning point.
The opening question concerns an ordinary matter - the meaning of being a person.
None of terms seems to be difficult to define in the world of closed and established possibilities. On this field human kind encloses a variety of individuals with features distinguishing one from another.
A message of our existence is given by actions, thoughts, words, feelings etc.
Common relation between all of us. Particular reactions to them is where an aspect of personality comes in. Everything about it is true.
Everything what's common among people classifies a kind. And all the differences among them still find their category and it goes on. In result a human is found in one box.
With all the others as special as them.
That's about being an individual.
Now from the side of earning for even this small illusive impression of uniqueness.
Life is an inseparable part of human's creation. Relation should be bilateral.
"Life" - as every general concept is made of details which only when looked at separately at each, gives a true image.
A human as a lump of clay under treatment of different mould:
- of emotions
- of feelings
- of moods
Going further, each turns out to be aroused by: surrounding, situations, weather conditions sometimes (moods), the nature of containing both evil and good within.
A human flung about in crazy whirl of their mortal existence.
Control…
While its ersatz are noticeable in our life, what about the absolute control. – Is this real aspect or is it just another wish we like feeding ourselves on…
Wishes, goals, dreams…
The same concerns these possessions. The fact that the path to their fulfillment does not always seem to go according to mind is known, can control apply to their very birth?
Are dreams dependant on us and are we truly the ones that initiate them or do we simply receive ready information and from that moment on we go into realisation of them.
Aren't goals just a result of choice from things offered by life – bound to what we learn about the world.
Thoughts do not stay out of the question, either. Some come to mind out of nowhere and get to our consciousness with no source of birth detected. Other ones are just a response to events experiences in life, next ones just follow and explicit an original thought that popped on our mind. Some last longer, sometimes to a degree which turns it into nagging, longer than we would wish them to exist, yet other ones happen to be elusive and fleeting.
We don't initiate them, we use them when they are already born.
Perhaps will will do? Will as a hand to control them all and then giving us a state we declare the right one, the true one… The very tool used to give both a shape and a meaning for matters we direct it to, as well as a feeling of our existence. Is will the answer…
To ask is - is will invincible – does everything always go according to it, what does it mean when it doesn't… Does a human have anything under control at all? What happens with our true self in the moments when the power of will is unattainable …
Is will the greatest and also the only reliable "friend" a human can count on and thereby having some ground to include will into human's "I" or does it only have a potential of control.
And the life acts as if it wanted to continually testify about the opposite.
Illnesses with one of the most severe on top - a depression which brings psychic down to the possibilities of a limb that it broken.
Another power ruling a human, another factor which deprive human of another chance to define any part that convinces us about owning independent from everything - "self".
I don't put any specific question to insinuate a punchline. The only point is within the whole topic – the matter to question with your own ability to look.

The history of peace made us accustomed to the conviction that it has been written and still happens to be written by efforts of those fighting against and of those sacrificing themselves (ironically) to protect it. Whether it would mean independence of a country or someone's liberation from the source of ill-being.
Let us look at the pages of a history starting from religion.
Admission and commonness of religion now had its origin in struggle between followers and opposition.
A process which still continues in one sense or another nowadays as well.
The Bible encloses many chapters created from suffering and sacrifices - experienced especially in times of Christianity beginnings when changes it carried used to be the most unacceptable. The name of Nero certainly rings a bell as his merits in development of Christianity history are enormous.
There were people who did, as well as Christians who didn't and as a punishment they were doomed to a cruel death preceded by martyrdom. Alive nourishment for lions, fire for entertainment of Romans. This was the cost of professing different religions those days.
However religion was not the only source of objections. Another valuable example made people who had to lead their lives in times when possessing own opinion was threatened with unpleasant consequences.
Socrates, (today regarded as a Greek philosopher) was sentenced to death because of persistence in defending his points of view. Local authority found them dangerous because they undermined the established order. To the very end Socrates strongly believed in rightness of views he stood for, strengthening himself by keeping reminding himself that the moment he denies them, he denies himself.
What is death at such time when one faces the threat of betraying themselves, the very being that constitutes what we are made of...
In order to overcome death, they all must have had strong faith in both themselves and in the rightness of a matter.
Times have changed – attitudes towards differences in regards to punishment have lightened but a problem remained. Everyone happens to be confronted with oppositions; some face it from time to time, some - every day. And so everyone reacts differently: from others or even in case of their own attitude. Some can't stand fighting at all, which finds the more understanding when it is thought about present times as worse than the said past.
The question might stand rhetorical as it is not expected to be able to imagine a decision towards own attitude in the face of such danger like mentioned, for example.
The only assessment possible to make is on the basis of attitude we adopt in our lives.
How strong and firm we are in our beliefs? Do we always stand by right matters, matters which are in agreement with our conscience (supposing it is clear enough to be heard)? Do we leave at least a tiny bit of space for a possibility of other, different beliefs being true?
Is there something about which you could openly say that you would be ready to defend, even till the very death…?
A fraction of view at Socrates' trial, views and the future he initiated.
QUOTE
Socrates lived in Athens, where he taught, discussing with casual passers-by walking on streets, gaining both popularity and enmity. At the age of 70 he was accused of impiety and corruption of the youth.
Charge against him were filed to court: "This accusation was lodged under oath by Meletos, the son of Meletos, from Pittos commune, against Socrates, the son of Sofronisc, from Alopeke commune, Socrates is guilty of non-recognition of gods acknowledged by the authority and of implementation of a cult of some new deities. He is also guilty of corrupting the youth. For which he shall suffer penalty of death."
Socrates was found guilty by slight majority composed of the assembly of 500 people.
In the first voting 280 people voted for the punishment of death Chile 220 people stood for his innocence. In the next voting there were already 360 people voting for death and 140 against. If Socrates had agreed to leave Athens he would have rescued his life but he didn't acceded to it. Like one of his friends described his attitude: "He is killing himself with his own sword of irony". Socrates valued peace of his conscience and truth higher than life. After the filed charge, the guilty person usually offered an exile, and a court usually consented to it. However Socrates said bravely that he deserved rather a prize than a penalty.
His terrified friends managed though to persuade him to ask for a penalty. The Court however chose death, which the majority of judges voted for.
Socrates took sentence with peace, believing that"... no evil can come near good person, neither in life nor after death."
* * * *
Thanks to Socrates attitude, his apprentice Plato followed his steps, and amplified his views.
Some of these thoughts were among all:
Good is divided into two worlds: ideal and real where ideal goods are higher than real ones.
There are three theses concerning it:
1. Goods make hierarchies
2. On the top of a hierarchy there is not any of real goods but the ideal Good.
3. Real goods are the beginning, unavoidable stage on the way to the top. Love is nothing else but the Wright timing for achieving and eternal possession of Good. The first object of love are Real goods, In the course of time awareness is born, that beauty of souls is greater than beauty of bodies. Through real, relative and finished mundane goals one can reach for ideal, absolute, immortal goals which is a sense of love. Through the love for an idea of souls a human becomes a middleman between the real world and the ideal world.

Optimists and pessimists will always be placed on the opposite platters of scales,
whatever pair of their characteristics is confronted.
Despite all the similarities and references the question isn't about being one or another.
The fact is many of us certainly have features of both what already doesn't make us
absolute optimists or complete pessimists.
On the scales, today I'm placing "hope" against "despondency".
"Hope" – A spiritual feeling. Without starting any attempts of dissection leading to needless volatility
and groundlessness for bearing hope - it undeniably gives so called lifting of a spirit.
A true rescue in a war, comfort in experiencing sore side of life.
Devoting oneself to this feeling means being given fresh, new perspective.
One living with hope experiences courage, consolidation, peace.
The one whom the last hope has been taken out - discouragement, disappointment, despair.
It is stated that the darkest place is the very bottom of hope. Therefore, the final matter to consider is to ask deep within yourself if you are positive about thinking that despite all the bad happening around,
everything has sense. And are you the one who believes that, as a matter of fact, the good IS active,
with the characteristic that it is noticeable for eyes able to see, mind is willing to search for its signs?
Does your hope pictures a belief:
- that good is heading for a victory despite the more intensive activity of evil on the world.
- that is always and incessantly constant in its influence even without our direct
participation.
- that our wishes, silent hopes can contribute to the victory of good.
- that you can sleep in peace because every new day is a better one due to silent activities.
- in existence of ultimate good which is beyond our abilities of judging what is the best.
And with this in mind, are you capable of accepting different results than the ones which you often deemed
the right ones?

Suffering. All have experienced it. Many can go on talking about it. Agreement about it doing harm seems to be unanimous and close the matter. However, some certainly ask questions "why...", the next part should follow with the answer; but does it...?
Is there, in your opinion, any kind of suffering that is necessary, needed, helpful?
Or perhaps you see it as one-sided aspect of life which is unavoidable only in its damage?
What are the questions that you would like to put concerning this experience - as much able to touch bodies as souls...

A non-silent topic heard frequently or rarely; in one way or another always enough to give evidence of existence.
Splitting this activity into points it looks that one of them includes a part of everyday life of a normal person. Then, what is so special there that doesn’t seem to be found in an ordinary grouping?
Saying that a person meets more: they meet the result of using a great knowledge about human’s psychology is a huge shortage on my side. People are offered not only a united community pretending to treat everyone individually as unique, exceptional component of the world; but another powerful seduction is a mystery, surrounding this form of activities.
My question aims at the reason for such attraction, such source of interest.
Where does it come from, since it’s bringing such power that covers any recognition of a danger?

Through the whole history of the human kind, people have been trying to understand life.
In this process of discoveries they tried to establish the common way of living.
While some - secretly, the others openly - which eventually resulted in imposing a pattern. Then again - to follow by most, to reject by a few.
Introduced ideas lasted for various periods of time: ages, years, generations ...
However in the constant circle of experimentations they were replaced, modified, discarded; none happened to live eternally.
Still what do you think - are there immortal ones? By whom are they professed?
Despite the repeating circle of dismissals and returns, is there anything which shouldn't be touched for the mere sake of experimenting? Could it be that modification would kill the core of their very existence? Could occasional usage be explainable in this respect?
What about exceptions continuously created anytime to give an impression of having a reason and justification to move on in destruction of symbols. Fear to act. Fear to admit the truth - isn't it the main one to condition the fact that even the most obviously devastating idea presented in a particular form? Doesn't it seem to expand more and more into humans' states along with the new ideas of delivering the world...
What will be human needs when slogans for ultimate freedom finally reach their edge?
What else will humans be seeking for when all the taboo become so explicit that it will be overrated?
Wouldn't limitless explications hit the point of narrowing down everything, including feelings that are supposed to be sublime to the mechanical actions or instincts?
Will it finally realisation of humans beliefs which is meant to bring all happiness?
Questions are plenty in their number as future shows great unknowns and perhaps anxiety. daring to think is daring to question the order of the current world, to put questions (even if meant for this place only) I deeply encourage... What (else) can it all lead to...? What will be coming next - a return of the past order or going deeper into establishing what's currently...

In one of debates, my interlocutor touched the subject of abstraction.
A position he took was: why to mantain association of achievements with someone who already died. He questioned the very sense of paying attention to the names of "originators", for whom it doesn't mean anything any more.
What is the sense in remembering names since it no longer brings any benefits to them?
Achievement is what counts for mankind since sooner or later there would always be someone who would be the first to do it.
May I point this person had little recognition for abstract matters in general...
Do you also think that caring for keeping connections between mere names and creations is useless and according to the above rule of continuity in discovery - groundless?
What other meaning can have such abstract matters like respect, than only bringing mundane benefits?
Do you personally pay any attention to them in situations other than when in the face of possible gains?
Why such an attitude, how much can it mean...

Hey guys. I know there probably aren't alot of people online like there used to. Its been years since I've been here. I can only guess at the number of original members here.
This site is archaic really. I am profoundly intrigued by how I still remembered that my password was...
*echem*
Anyways, without further adieu, I'd like to share a "rant" or so about YGOL.
Its been a while since I've even heard the name, "Yu-gi-oh!", let alone the greatest forum dedicated to it.
This was my FIRST FORUM... well... the first one I was actively involved in. The only one forum before that was a Code Lyoko Forum hosted by Cartoon Network (I think). Even then, I was only a guest there.
What brought me to the forum? Why my friend... the answer is SIMPLE!
Google magic baby... google magic.
I was scared it was a scam site because there were so many pop-ups, but my little 13-year-old wit got enough nerve to click on "Forum".
From there, I saw an array of beautifully written articles. An introductory place? A duelist center? A place for people to show off their decklists and exchange ideas?! I was in a maddened frenzy just looking at this. I believe I started to drool a little bit.
The ART WORK! The signatures were beautiful as the conversations were (or just as hilarious) XD.
Who was my first friend on YGOL? My first online friend whom I have known to this day... haven't heard from her in about a year, but nonetheless, a true friend in my heart.
Her username was Dakura Daemon (pronounced Day-man).
She was witty, sharp, and always up for a challenge. No one could scare her.
I then met duelists like XYZDragonCannon (a.k.a. Stant), RaphaelIV, Ace (can't remember the rest of his username... I think it was 24), and others who I've shared many a hearty battle. In the chat rooms I had many a laugh and spectated public duels. I even remember a time where a mod stepped into a room and accidentally kicked one of the duelists out for typing in all CAPS! lmao!
Ah... good times... but this grandfather-like-rant has got to come to a conclusion!
My point:
My memories were good.
They were great!
Excellent if you ask me!
I met so many nice people here who in turn introduced me to great friends. This was my escape from stress. This was my paradise. This was my home away from home...
This was YGOL.
I remember even celebrating people's birthday's here! I had international friends for the first time in my life! I had some of the most groundbreaking, though-provoking conversations here!
This place rocked!
I don't know about it now. I'm just trying to pick up some branches snapped underfoot and imagine what the tree looked like.
Take care all.
Ah!
I almost forgot! What does/did YGOL mean to you?
P.S. (SORRY IF I BROKE RULES OR POSTED IN WRONG PLACE... ITS BEEN A FEW YEARS SO I'M STILL A BIT RUSTY AT THIS) xD

I once asked about human's nature: whether it is good or bad.
Still I am speaking in my own language but I will try to make it perspicuous and clear to the best of my abilities.
Irrespective of an answer, human seems to evince signs from both of them.
In which the first being placed in the period of innocence* and the second afterwards, the moment this boundary is crossed.
*In case of discrepancy in the meanings for this word – I mean innocence of mind.
Today I consider this is in the sense of tendentions.
Because of a domination of either of them, many of us happen to determine our view at the world in general. Commonly, an opinion about what the world today looks like happens to be bound to one colour; randomly expressed statements reveal it to be a negative one most of the time.
Therefore this time I want to look only at the tendention to do evil.
And I would like to do that by prism of The Decalogue and The 7 Deadly Sins.
In case these mere titles say little for someone who would like to join a discussion, here they are below.
After doing some research when looking for the most accurate translation, I've become aware of possible differences having religious ground.
However not only do I undisputably have no rights to consider this in frames of religion nor did I intend to make it so.
I am making use of these schemes for a very simple reason.
The points of prohibitions creating them (prohibitions yet still also advice) are expected to appeal to human's common sense; supposed to make their lives easier, in any respect.
But being able to follow them happens though to be sometimes more difficult and complicated for a person then consequences of a deed.
Which sins, do you presume, are committed the most commonly?
The subject becomes even more intriguing if you have also a theory to share – why these ones exactly? What causes them?
Some other points can come out next with it – sins that are more dangerous than other ones, in what sense they are (whether it would be for people around or for very self); which are the most harmful, do the greatest amount of damage...
However these are just superfluous explications which could go on, and I don't want to impose any impression of obligation to answer all of them, let it be thought-out but freely spoken-out exchange of opinions.
Eventually the answers don't have to appear as obvious as some perhaps think…
Ten Commandments:
1. I, the Lord, am your God. You shall not have strange gods besides me.
2. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain
3. Remember to keep holy the Lord's Day
4. Honor your father and your mother
5. You shall not kill
6. You shall not commit adultery
7. You shall not steal
8. You shall not bear false witness witness against your neighbor
9. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife
10. You shall not covet your neighbor's goods
7 Deadly Sins:
1. Pride
2. Greed
3. Lust
4. Envy
5. Gluttony
6. Wrath
7. Sloth

Why people, especially in young age are so fond of fairy-tales?
Despite my internal oppositions this time I leave the question without further enlargement that regularly gives a particular ground for a topic making it more precise and distinctive.
Otherwise, in such matters as this one, it would take another indefinite dose of time before reaching some point of agreement needed between creators and receivers.
In short, there is a reason that the topic doesn't aim directly at any other age group but this one, yet it isn't said that making connections and comparisons cannot make the point clearer.
Also as much characteristics as most of fairy-tales have, turning attention specifically to Disney's depiction is what completes my point.
Have your memories responded in a way that made you wonder about the reason for existence of an abyss, not only between years that have passed but other changes that it brought along... Why did it happen so and perhaps still does in front of your eyes... If it can be stopped does it mean they are willing to... Which feelings that you experienced during watching fairy-tales you liked the most? What do you think caused them to arise?
And that's all directions for curious ones for whom psychological statements don't mark the end of putting questions but open ways to continue.
In this as any other case this kind of knowledge is enough for putting some stability into own life.
However it might stop being satisfactory, when people around try to make things as common and ordinary as it's possible.
That's about a guidance from my view on it, the field is wide enough to puzzle over in whatever direction it can only take human to...

Out of three periods, time on the Earth is divided into, future is always ahead of us.
As human beings we can depend on the information given by the ability to conclude the results from observations, or steps taken to achieve the aims placed in the future (naturally).
However, looking at the notion of the future as at a stable, ensured concept; human's predictions are never bound to the certainty, regardless of the height of the probability.
Do you see the future...
As if knowledge about it was really such power as it apparently looks to be?
As the irreversible process of the course of life or rather as a flexible matter possible to be mold if only one had an access to knowledge about it before it happens?
...as something independent, fickle and elusive that human could never grasp, get their hands on it, never reach by means of the science.
In another addition, could knowledge about the future not constitute "the future" since the realisation always occurs in present?
We know the past, the present - these are the periods that are not susceptible to a change (at least this is the point of view being closed in the boundaries of our human reasoning and abilities. Irrespective of my presumptions that they do not alter even though I am being open to other possibilites, this belief still appears to have no ground for the truth since this also doesn't cross out the fact that I am a human being), hence they can be safely called stable, constant matters.
However we are not able to refer the same analogy to the future as the future does not exist in our consciousness as a stable concept in itself.
But future is theoretically, and some would add - practically as well, unavoidable.
If one would become capable of receiving information about the future in the form of visions or thoughts, would it then maintain the true description of the future? Would something in which there exists the possibility of being modified or replaced (in other words it equals with it never occuring) still deserve to carry the name of "the future" - the name of something what will happen in the form assigned to it.
Again, if we were supposed to be aware of the future look of the scenario and at the same time were supplied with the chance of a change would we not be "false foretellers" since we would be only aware of what we changed? Since the future about which we received information appeared to differ.
Perhaps, this is the situation in which some people who have seen smaller or larger parts are or were. However we hear only about those whose version appeared eventually to be beyond the influence.
Should you be willing to share your thoughts concerning any possibile way the concept of future can be described by, their presence will be welcomed.
Feel free to touch whatever aspects you like ("prediction of the future as a curse" for instance, etc) without uncertainty concerning going beyond the content of the topic. The matters are connected with one another even more closely than they seem to be at first sight.

If you could, take the time to think of an object that you believe best represents yourself and post it as well as provide us with insight as to why you chose it. Refrain from using animals and simple objects. Don't just say a 'tree', but rather a 'sturdy tree', a 'diseased tree' or a 'tree with a broken branch'. Remember to use your object to justify it as an example of your life, your personality, more importantly your mind and what lingers within it. You say a bloody knife is what best describes you, so why is that? Have you recently done something that can be considered murderous or was this a while ago, therefore the blood is stained and brown? Use specifics, but you don't necessaril need to use examples of a situation you've been in.
As for me,
The object that best represents me is a wide and narrow vase filled to the brim with water.
The vase is my mind.
The water is my emotions.
The vase is big because of the amount it holds.
The vase is tall for it represents what I have felt throughout my life.
The vase is fairly new with only one large noticeable crack with many chips from its sides.
Water from above slowly drips into it
These drops are newly forming emotions.
As I begin to be filled with sadness or anger, they begin to drip into the pool.
The more I feel angry, the more water falls.
The more I feel sad, the more water falls.
The water is murky for it is old.
The water erupts with thick dusty clouds as fresh water touches it.
The water sends ripples throughout the surface meaning my emotions are shaking.
If the ripples stop, it means my emotions have calmed down and the water too stands still.
If the ripples leak over, it means my emotions are also leaking from me.
As the water begins to pour out of the vase my emotions begin to be expressed out into the open.
If the vase remains still, but the water empties over its sides, it means more sadness is being released rather than anger.
If the vase is to begin breaking and water would gush from its sides, it means more anger is being released rather than sadness.
If the vase remains completely empty, it means all my emotions have been expressed.
If the vase remains still full, it means most of my emotions are still hidden.
If the vase shatters into dust leaving broken pieces and a wet floor, it means my mind is gone.
My vase is still full.
My vase shall never be emptied.

The word composed of letters - created by a human and experienced awarelly only by a human.
The notion containing the meaning - the mental blow at miscellaneous situations, bends of life.
The component and the introduction to something greater yet the final stage in itself as well.
The final points of the emotional meaning: rapture, happiness, peace, certainty...
The overflowing moment when the gates of infinite world opens to fly into.
No roots of the mundane burden restrains one any more from flying.
The embodiment of purity not affected by any primitive feelings almost tantamount to sanctity.
When the one feels they are not breathing with air but life: hope, faith ad trust.
If this description doesn't agree with your cognition of freedom feelings and you don't feel that this question would violate in any way your privacy how would you define it?
What is your freedom?

QUOTE(Wikipedia)
The central story of Dream of Mirror Online revolves around an artifact called the Kunlun mirror. It was created to record and copy everything in the real world, but an unknown event caused it to not work correctly. As a result, the reflection is imperfect and people's "delusions" have become monsters and other creatures when reflected in the mirror world. Many of the twelve Mirror Kings, rulers of the Mirror World, have disappeared and so the remaining Mirror Kings have summoned human beings from the real world (the players) to the Mirror World to help defeat these delusions.
This game is complete with features such as fishing, farming, and mining which allow you to increase your abilities when picking spoils from monsters. You also can gain secret items not find in spoils from monsters or other NPCs. Two features not found in many other games used specifically/directly by the user is 'flying' and 'alchemy'. In most games, you must visit a NPC to use "alchemy" in order to create new armor or items; in DOMO you can do it yourself or ask other players.
QUOTE(Wikipedia ~ Flying)
The Dream of Mirror Online flying system is based on the sword-flying myths in Chinese legends. Players can use all types of weapons, such as the sword, saber, rod, stick, and even the dancing fan to launch into the air. They are all potential flying equipment that players can ride on. Each different piece of flying equipment has its own features and specific speed. However, some weapons simply cannot fly, and others will only fly after achieving a specific level.
There is four races to choose from: Human, Shura, Sylph, and Sprite. On top of the many jobs you can do: Blademaster, Merchant, Fencers, Marital Artist, Thieves, Hunters, Wizards, Shaman King, Musicians, Dancers, & Doctors. They also have pets: ruby, jade, rock, metal, sapphire, and lily.
Pet (Special Edition 1 Lily):

Screen shot of the game:
http://i32.tinypic.com/2ebqp88.pngThis is an awesome game, I am addicted :3. I am a lvl 22 Thief (that's me & my pet in the screenshot). There is a lot of opportunities for having fun and becoming one of the top players on a server. You can join a guild, do one of the many quests, or help out the newer characters who come along. They even added in 3 relationship bonuses; love, friendship, and teacher. I could go into detail, but you need to play to get it all. Anywya, wanted to know if anyone else has played or if anyone considers playing? :3

Well there seems to be some new blood here in this forum. So, I started thinking to myself, "let's see how well this new blood flows." In no way am i trying to offend any of you lovely members, however i do love to test the intellect and minds of others and see how far they can be pushed to get desired results. Here is the paradigm.
Which Undesirable situation would you rather be in, "
none" however will be deemed unexceptable.
The first is being in a state of mourning for one whom you loved dearly and known for a reasonable amount of time, for their death to effect you. This can be anyone that you deem worthy enough to remember and mourn for if they pass. The way they pass is a sudden event in which there was no possible way to prevent the death from occuring, and to make life even better you just found out it happend.
Now for the second part, would you rather be in a state of depression where your entire life seems to be going the entire opposite of what you wanted. Friends have turned their backs on you, and parents no longer care for you (their maturnity instincts suddenly vanished and your worth less then the dirt on your shoes to them).
Choose your poison well, both are positions where most humans do not want to be at all in their lifespans. Losing someone rather close to you in such a quick moment is utterly shocking but leaves deep scars over the course of time. Being constantly let down and absolutely abondond is just as devastating, and to have no one to turn to makes it hard to bare.
With your choice please provide a complete reason as to why you chose this particular situation.
Enjoy.
Chaos
