Hey there everyone,
For a while now, Netaro, Sanna and I have all been discussing issues that have been effecting the forum negatively... We've decided to edit and add what we have to say to this thread. And we want you guys to take this seriously.
My first point comes to the fact that OC's are taking over the forum. OC's are cool and all, but when you start taking characters from different shows and make them bean scouts... it's kind of weird and it SUCKS the spirit of Camp Lazlo right out of my TV. When you use OC's from other shows in a roleplay, it's basically a crossover. Also, don't forget the other Camp Lazlo characters!!! I mean, sometimes I think some of you have really forgotten what Camp Lazlo is all about.
Can we please get a cut down on OCs? Thanks.

My turn. I'm in a very bitter mood... so don't think that these annoucements will be happy and junk.
The love crap! - OH YES! The love crap! Ever since that one love thread happened... all I've been seeing is love crap. Face it... no one cares. Seriously! It’s all about “OMG! I LOVE YOU [insert name here]” and all that other crap. It’s all repetitive and annoying. I mean, if you watched a movie and all they did was giggle and tell each other they loved each other SOOOOOOOOOOOO much, you’d get sick of it… right? It’s pointless and seriously… no one cares. Luckily it has died down… but is still going around in the roleplays… which brings me to my next point.
Roleplay Games - Roleplaying has become a freakin’ OC thing. It’s no longer Camp Lazlo related at all… which doesn’t help the forum at all. Also… random characters from other shows come in and roleplay as well! They all are “dressed up” in a freakin’ Camp Kidney uniform just to try to make them valid! Trust me… this hs gone too far and must be lessened. Seriously. Also… roleplays have become somewhat of SPAMMY! People have posts that are like… 1-3 words posts! Although we aren’t really that strict on the strike system like we used to when it started… we’re seriously going to start penalizing each and everyone who posts spam repetitively. Love is expressed a lot too… which is sick! SHUT UP! SERIOUSLY!

Badges - A lot of you may have noticed these little icons underneath our names; These are called badges. We’re trying a new system for this forum. Since you all are seriously not being Camp Lazlo related at least 40 percent of the time (which is sad), we’ve decided to no longer make your personal rank anything you want anymore. If you’ve got a personal rank already… you’re stuck with it until you do something good. You now have to EARN stuff.
How to get a badge - First off… do NOT ask for free stuff like badges! If you do… we’ll just laugh at you and you’ll probably not get one anytime soon because you are just being stupid. We’ll be having contests and probably ask for some help and junk for you guys to try to earn certain badges. Right now… the only badges that can be obtainable is the Camp Lazlo Ultimate Trivia game. I actually created that game to introduce badges and to make you all stop being off topic all the time. Along with earning a badge, you may change your personal rank to something else (until we get restrictions on that). When being rewarded a badge… do NOT pressure us to give you one right away if you earn one.
We will NOT be giving badges and personal ranks to:
When being rewarded a badge… do NOT pressure us to give you one right away if you earn one. If you do… then we’ll just give you that badges whenever we feel like it.
Current types of badges - There are different types of badges out there. We’ve only created a few badges at the moment… but soon we’ll have an abundant amount of badges to play around with. Certain badges will probably never be obtainable for the public (like staff ones). Here are some types of badges currently made:
- Clam “HI” Badge
- Lemming Badge
- Edward Badge
- CL Ultimate Trivia Master Badge
- CL Ultimate Trivia Bronze Badge (public)
So yeah. That’s about it I suppose.

Okay here I go:
Eversince December of 2005, I've noticed a rather disappointing trend... Basically the forum was becoming a chat room to talk about the most random stuff rather than a place to discuss and love everyone's favored show, Camp Lazlo. I just see too much of the cyber-love, the instant message chat, extreme focus on OCs, random threads that has pretty much no value, and most of all the lack of that CL fandom I felt when I first came to the forum back in September.
Alot of the romantic content hanging around the forum...some us just are a bit tired of it. (If applicable) We, the mods, are happy for you for finding that special someone online but we also want to say that be aware of how difficult it is to keep an online relationship. Many of the members came here to talk about Camp Lazlo... not read cyberlove. Honestly it is annoying to a number of people, it's like people making out in public. Many people don't want to see two people making out in excessive. @_@; A little is okay but we're seeing ALOT!!
Another thing... is the large amounts of OCs focus and REALLY random stuffs that make me go "Wtf!?!?".... I really want to just lock them because it gets all... senseless. Not that "senseless funny... just stupid senseless. Especially ones like "Okay let's start an RP where there's a football game... I'll be Winnie the Pooh and Christopher Robin! Oh and Lazlo is the football.". ; Actually that would be a funny thing to do because my example is way exaggerated... but you get my point. OCs... At some point the CL forum became OC forum. The number of posts was overwhelmingly large compared to the number of posts on the Main Camp Lazlo section... Okay for some OCs stuff... but just cut down on the OCs...
Oh something small about the fanart threads. If your fanart is something NOT CL, please post your works in the Misc. fanart section. Also be considerate of others and make your images not too big that it stretches the browser and takes alot of time to load. I also don't want to see any effortless or rushes works too much. Take your time to try improve your drawing skills little by little. I know you people can do it. ^_^

- For little things like a pretty picture or good fan fiction (unless there is a forum contest for it)
- For being “nice” to us; That is BS and no one should be given a badge to pretend to be nice. Sucking up to people just wastes your time
- Greedy people who ask us for work to try to earn badges
