Whoa whoa! I don't understand why people are so sensitive about the truth!
If you guys are seriously thinking of actually quitting... what is the reason? Is it because 1 or 2 people hear disagree with you or something? Is it because you cannot handle the restrictions with not only talking about OC's? Is it because you aren't a good Camp Lazlo fan? Because seriously... these examples are just plain stupid excuses to leave. If you do, however, wish to leave... how aobut you not delete your username? Why? Well, maybe in the future you'd like to drop by againa nd post your thoughts on one thread... just to make yourself feel better about something or whatever.
Seriously, let's be mature and not cry about what one says. We as mods and admin are here to try to mkae your forum going a bit more enjoyable. I know I'm realy mean and I get annoyed at stupid things... but that's jsut me! I really want this forum to live for a long long time! I'm a nice guy; It's easy for someone to be my friend as long as they aren't stupid or annoying. I do not hate anyone of you.
Think aobut what you do. If you continue to quit and make newer accounts, you are jsut ruining your own reputation. We mods are here to help! If you want someone pleasant to talk to... PM Tiff or Sanna! If you want the flat out truth (which may hurt... but at least you know your errors) PM me! If you want me to not be as mean in my PM reply... just tell me so. Karen is also a loyal regular from the start... so feel free to PM her if you wish.
Face it, the strike system (that we rarely use now) was created to stop excessive spamming, flaming, and stupidity. Since then... all that has come to a nice slowing down. This announcement was created to make all our members aware and hopefully make everyone change for the better of the forum. I hope you all understand.

The reason I was thinking about quitting was becasue Josh left not all that other stuff (I abide to the rules and didn't break any to my knowledge yet). I still wanna keep my name though (have some important PMs that I wanna keep even though I could back them up (which I did).

So you are leaving because Josh left. Okay, but why did Josh leave? I am really confused because if his leave was just because of what Jack said, then that's not a good excuse at all. If there is something more to the story, I'd like to hear it. If not, then he can leave... and we'll all just go on with our lives. I've noticed he's like a popular member here (which a lot of people looking up to him and all) and it's a pity that he'll jsut leave for something as small as that.

I talked to him not too long ago and he said it was a lot of stuff combined (mainly what Jack said because he seemed to be targeting him with a lot of things, and some of the new rules he didn't like I guess). Don't get me wrong.. I don't want to leave... but when Josh isn't here any more (and he was my best friend on this site), then I duno what else to do?

I suppose it's understandable I guess. I do not know what rules he does not like but whatever. If he feels like not coming back... then that's his choice. You do, however, have Victoria here so yeah. Karen probably doesn't want Josh to go aprce-que they are "forum married" thus if he leaves... it's like a divorce or something. I don't know. He leaves for himself, not taking in consideration of his friends here... so whatever. Let him do whatever he wants.

Well.. Victoria is still kinda here. For some reason, she can't get on this site from her home (it may be blocked or somethin.. I'm not too sure). Anyway, I will probably stay here (as in not delete my account), but I probably just won't visit that often.

I think the reason that the OCs took over more is that there have been some abscence of a new episode of CL, that nothing much could be disscussed. Therefore, many decided to make their own and make a continue going of new Camp Lazlo things. Crap, couldn't think a better to explain it but but it was just mainly why OCs took over more than the show characters.

Yeah, like Netaro said, we don't hate any of you... We just don't like seeing this forum being abused. When I created this forum, I had a clear picture of how this place would be, clear of spamming, pointless junk and hatred amongst members/staff. In order to keep the forum like this, we have to be strict.
It doesn't matter where you go. Any well run forum you join will be strict. I've been to many forums... and let me tell you, the first forum being Help Chat on Neopets. Everyone is a new poster sometime. When I used to post, I made myself sound like an idiot. I would type like I never had an education beyond 3rd grade. People pointed this out to me a lot... and I felt bad. I wanted to gain respect and look smart, so I started thinking before I posted.
Umm... the point to that is that even if you guys aren't new forum posters, and you've had a lot of experience with the whole issue, there is always room to improve yourself and how you present yourself to the rest of the members. Netaro will tell you EXACTLY how he feels. I try to be nice, but I can still snap at members out of annoyance. Sanna is very nice, but I would not try to mess with her at all. Both Net and I have seen her mad side. ^_^ So when we correct you and be mean, don't take it personally, quit, and start crying and join back up again... That's just wacky. Realize your mistake, and never ever do what you did again. It'll make you look good!
So... just chill and relax; this forum isn't some sort of hate cult... Oh, and does anybody remember who sickdeathfiend was? They changed their display name, and I can't match sign up names to display ones.

...Sanna is very nice, but I would not try to mess with her at all. Both Net and I have seen her mad side. ^_^ ^_^; Yes, just don't push it with me. YA HA HA HA! I can be the nice as Tiff (sometimes nicer depending on my mood) but I can just be a crazy maniac and rant my head off. At least Netaro is honest and gets straight to the point. ^^; I don't mind trying my best to answer your questions or helping you with any issues and concerns. (Don't be shy! ^__^ I was super shy when I was a newbie.) Just as long as people are are at least respectful, reasonable and considerate... yeah. Besides whenever I see a sign that a fellow member is distressed and all, I try my best to jump in and ask them if they're okay and try to cheer them up. (thus I PM people randomly from time to time ^^ . I forgot the display name for sickdeathfiend, but I think he's Josh's cousin.

Geee... OCs are taking over this forum. THIS IS THE CAMP LAZLO FORUM PEPOLE! NOT THE OC PLAYHOUSE FORUM! You should get back to the Camp Lazlo mood. To geet the mood back, try playing my trivia game or go to my CL RollPlay.

Well first, let me just say, that I applaud you guys for the changes. The love thing has become a bit of an annoyance around here. If your going to be all lovey dovey, do on AIM, Y!IM, or MSNIM. Useless threads are never a good thing. Secondly, thank you for enforcing an OC rule. It does seem as though the OCs are taking over the forum a bit. It didn't bother me too much, but still became a bit of an annoyance after a while. The badge system is really cool too! I'll be sure to enter the first fanfiction contest or whatever contest it may be. Maybe I'll even try out that Ultimate Trivia thing. Other than that, I think all the rules help to make the forum a better CL community.
Keep up the great work Sanna, Tiff, and Netaro! w00t! You guys are still great mods in my opinion!

Oh, and does anybody remember who sickdeathfiend was? I did, and if I can remember, she wanted a request from me. I'm thinking if she deleted her account or something... I still was finding out that people are joining in this forum (Which it's now almost 120). But the best problem was that they didn't posted anything. I saw the newest people in the box, but the next week/month, they never posted anything. My issue, the freeloaders that can't even post. It's just like the only way people will be happy, is to register, then leave and never go there again. I would list them all that never posted something, but I'm a little bored to do it. It's actually about 60 - 85 members that are active to come here, and have fun. If I could've seen something like another spam here, I would be the only one to report them, but I'm always too late to do that. Now I know that Blueeyes was the worsest. I can't even believe the OFF TOPIC some people has been doing, but I'm still ignoring it until something makes me eat spam. Maybe making the forum cleaner would be another idea to start with...

Jack : Love stuff I am spewing? Victoria hasn't been on the forums in a while and I haven't really said anything... wtf? whatevr man.. true. I hope Victoria got that note I sent to her DA account about her account trouble here. I miss her around the forum. ^^; Anyway I think he meant like in the past. Right now it's not bad but I have to admit you and Vicky were really ROMANCIN' here at the forum ^_^;;. You and Vicky are cool together (XD) and all but again try to keep the love on the low now. Some people can't tolerate it as much as others or whatever. Don't make any grudges against others. Just not cool. I want everyone to at least respect each other. Okey dokey! ^___^ Yeah I got the note on DA that you sent me San , Thanks again ^^. For some reason though it wouldn't let me on and I put my username and password in correctly. It kept telling me the username/password combination was wrong...but I finally managed to get on. ^^. And I think I might be able to get on at home now too! ^^ I'm glas to be back on the forum!! ^^ and Yeah maybe me and Debaser did go alittle overboard with ther love thing , I think we annoyed some people too..sorry about that....I'll try and keep the love thing down to a minamum. ^^ I'm sorry if we annoyed some of you but we love each other so much and we got alittle out of control with it. Like I said were try and keep it down to a minamum because I think you all got the message that we love each other very much ^^.

He wasn't the best, he was just very active and popular amongst the other members. Anyway, I'm glad to see the forum shaping up!

If you guys don't mind, I have an idea to fix this problem of the CL forum. Should I post it here or PM Tiff?
