General Chat / Danimation Forii Close!

How is his name revelant to anything at all?

It isn't, but it certainly is fun to say.

Why did you use individual quotes on multiple words bob?  An educated person would know better.

"Bitch."

You need a comma after "words." You always use a comma before reffering to the object of a command, rctfreak2000.

Also, "Bitch." is a fragment, not a complete statement.

Consider yourself educated.

-Steel Falcon-

Well you got me!

Just for your information, although "also" is ok to start a sentence, it isn't widely accepted as good sentence structure.

Then again, my initial statement was a joke, but our friend bob decided that it required an immature response.

I guess that's what I get for talking to someone named bob.

Going to pass judgement about my name, eh? I won't even start to question the intelligence of the person who can come up with the obvious work of genius "rctfreak2000". I mean, my god, you're so much better than I am I think I'll just stop posting now.

BAM

check that shit out.

That's good..
But This:

I = teh 1337!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111!!!!!!!!!1111111!!!!!!!111

Shut up, you fags. We're here to talk about Dent.

EDIT: I'm making a new topic for my thoughts. You guys are being too fucking stupid.

have i been outdone?

dammit. :-0

Shut up, you fags. We're here to talk about Dent.

And now, my eulogy (no "he had a lot of nothing to say" jokes, please)....

Today is both sad and happy. I know if it weren't for Danimation I wouldn't be here, right now. I'd never have met the cool people I have. I would have basically zero interest in RCT or roller coasters. I would probably be off looking at porn, or whatever. Danimation was a once-proud website, once the crown jewel in the upper echelon of RollerCoaster Tycoon websites. The forums were a spectacular place. D-Net singlehandedly changed RCT on the web, if not started it to begin with. However, the eventual demise of the site was obvious, but I'm sure no one expected it to crash and burn like it did. Be it that inexplicable "D-Day", or the total removal of all things RCT, the site just plunged into the cesspool of idiocy we had before us today. Many of the mods turned the place into a formal forum, if ever a thing exists. (Here's looking at you, AirBoss!) The upper management went for a me-first attitude in running the place. Sure, it's their server, and they have the right to do whatever they want with the site, but Dan especially forgot what the idea was. Without the people, his site was just a waste of money and space. But, all suggestions were put to no use at all, and disregarded. It was all about Dan, and his wants. With the great majority of the forums clamoring for sports and books forums, Dan creates an RC forum, all about his own hobby...a hobby which has seen no more than 10 posts in the history of Danimation. This final middle-finger to the forumgoers is probably what it took to make everyone realize that Dan no longer gives a fuck, and is taking charge of the forum for his own personal use. Which is sad, because a message board is about as people-oriented as it gets on the Internet. If not for today's sudden, but not stunning, announcement, I predict that the majority of the members would just leave Dan to have his own little cobweb infested nowhere corner of the Web, so he could do whatever he wants. Seems Dan even made his own decision to do that, though.
I remember signing up for Danimation in August of 2000 or so, under the name Tyler24. I was an unassuming newbie, but I loved the place. So much conversation and social activity, let alone the stellar Spotlights that made Danimation the one and only place to be for excellent RCT work. The old 3-across Floorless brings back memories. Over the years I had changed aliases to Original Prankstah/Da Prankstah, but the forum always stayed the same of fun talk and awesome RCT work. I like to think I kinda contributed my own little slice to the giant D-Net pie, along with every one else...and this pie eventually became the best RCT site you could find. Then I had lost interest in RCT, as everyone else found their interest waning as well. I left, and I'm sure many others did too. I rejoined last fall to get ready for RCT2 under the name QOTSA-2002, expecting maybe a Danimation renaissance. But it wasn't the same, and only got worse and worse. The place just wasn't any fun anymore. The restrictions got to be too much. All hope was lost for this site by the beginning of 2003, and the eventual downfall could be seen coming by all of us, I'm sure.

Thank you, Danimator, for the fantastic site you first created that was the RCT Taj Mahal in its day.
No thanks, Danimator, for destroying the once proud castle that you created.
Thanks most all, to Danimation.com, for the friends, the times, the memories, good and bad.

Danimation will be missed.

Now then, let's eat some cake.

Viva la New Element.

Break in sarcasm:

Nice post. You made alot of good points. And, despite what most people say, danimation.com will be missed, no matter how stupid Dan's decision may have been.

Shut up, you fags. We're here to talk about Dent.

Uhh... what he said

seriously i loved D-net. The people the debates, it was fun to piss a random person off just because your opnion differs. Oh well i guess it will be back, here i get my own smiley though

-Dan

RC Craze! I like this car, Dan and I drive it around every Sunday morning.

OMG.

Falcon you pwned him.

Anywho, in light of current event you lucky bastards get a preview of my upcoming article Opinate This: NewElement vs. Danimation.

Does anyone want to be my NewElement interview I've yet to find someone who is a uber supporter of the site and hates Danimation.  You'll be rewarded if you help.

________________________

Me:  (This is a whopper)  You said that NewElements ideas are copied, by that I assume you mean the 'Spotlight.'  Can someone really claim intellectual ownership of a word?  Also. If you had the change to say one thing to all of NewElement what would you say?

RCTWonder:If one reviews the bottom of each page, it states that "No part of this website may be reproduced without prior written permission from the owners of Danimation." If one looks further into the ToS, it specifically states that the Spotlight is a trademark and is wholly owned by Danimation. So in short, Dan did claim ownership of the term referring to the contest, but not the word. In response to the second part of your question, I would thank NE for giving the RCT community somewhere to explore and download quality parks, but I would also ask them to please come up with some original terms. It does not stand for what they encourage, which is creativity.

Of course, during the whole Xcite incident, some of us DID get on his case for using the word "Spotlight." Heck, look at the disclaimer at the bottom of each NE page!



Oh well, it's really ridiculous to argue about owning a word. Unless you're Dubbya, which in that case, it's normal.

Shut up, you fags. We're here to talk about Dent.

EDIT: I'm making a new topic for my thoughts. You guys are being too fucking stupid.

WELL Y U HERE THEN

You want the honest-to-God-answer?

Well, here it is....

The syllable count, word flow, and starting sound is right. Most of what I say has a decent amount of thought put into the mere way it sounds.

"It can't be that hard to find a synonym for 'Spotlight'!"

Synonym + Spotlight = Alliteration, and the right amount of syllables for flow.

I could go on and on, but it's 2:45 AM, which would mean I'd get into some incoherent rambling bullshit.... much like Git does in every post.

So, to sum it up, I never meant NewElement has any sort of copyright on "Spotlight" - it was just the right word for the job. Got a better word? Then tell me.

Good ol' dan banned me. No warning, no limbo, nothing. I guess we know how he treats some of his original members now...

Yes. I was wondering about that myself. I mean, your ass is tighter than teh airbossessess'...

What did you do, mock RC toys?

Good times...

Still, though. Being banned isn't cool. At least, not anymore - PymGuy removed all the Fonzish, rebel glamour from it.

I said that an RC train burned my house down. It in fact did. This somehow got me banned.

For shame.

bob, what was your Dnet name?
