Return of the Revenge of the Son of Saying Hi to Josiah!

[shauni]

GAHHHHH! AMAZON HAVE LOST MY WHITE TWO! I was told on an e-mail yesterday it had been dispatched and its not arrived in the mail today!

I've called them up and demanded a refund as I'm going to have to go and buy it from a Game Station. I'm not waiting any longer for this game, its been killing me waiting for it this long! Not going to order anything important from amazon ever again!

"We can ship a replacement for you on Saturday". I can't do that cos I'm not in work! GAHHH!

[Josiah]

Hi! I can understand being impatient, but sometimes things take a little longer to ship than estimated. Maybe your postal system is different there but I'd never assume something was lost because it was one day late. I'd also tend to blame the post office rather than Amazon, though it would still be up to Amazon to send a replacement.

After a lot of calls and e-mails to Amazon they have agreed to refund the game cost. The game was "guaranteed" for delivery on day of release. I actually paid extra to get it today, which was why I was so mad. They have refunded me the full amount and I have bough the game in town, however, Amazon also felt the need to refund ALL my outstanding orders instead of just the one, so I ended up on the phone to them AGAIN to ensure my items are still coming.

After they assumed I'd received my outstanding items, which I hadn't, they had dispatched and where also due today but did not arrive, they asked me to confirm they could take a payment again, even though the refund had not been processed anyway.

After a lot of messing about I was told Royal Mail had taken back all my outstanding orders and undelivered. I have NO idea what is going on, but at least I got my game! And a female Tepig!

Hello everyone! It sure has been a while since I've been here, I think I will probably stick around. I've missed all of you guys so much! Been up to a bunch of stuff recently. School, work, other types of stuff with the friends and such. It was kind of weird just leaving without reason, I don't even know how I left and never turned back. Quite odd actually. Anyways, it's good to be back and I can't wait to see what you guys have been up to since I've been gone!

[Silver]

I miss everyone, too... where are they? Feels like it's just been me, Josiah, and Poison around lately (yes I know there are more of you, shut up). You've missed a lot! Contests and new members and all sorts of stuff! Buuut none of it's going on now. Hope you stick around all the same, it's been lonely here!

[Luke]

For instance, Cheez, Celebifly, Neo, Astral, Terra, the list goes on and on. It would be pretty awesome if I could talk to those guys again :S

[shauni]

Yo!

That is all.

No not really, things are going fine this end. For some odd reason I seem to be getting a lot of free tickets to the theater recently. Got two free tickets to "Rita, Sue and Bob too" last night, going seeing "Dirty Dancing" next Thursday and the Lion King in January, for free.

Seems fate whats me to be cultured lol

Hi.

I still post here Luke, but seems like most of the posts are in the game section and that just gets boring and a good way to boost post count.

School has been going well for the most part. And I've been keeping myself busy with Aikido since mid Aug.

[Josiah]

Hi! Silver has a point, it would be nice if things here picked up a bit. Remember, if you want to talk about something that isn't game or saying hi related, you can always start a new thread for it.

[shauni]

Yosh!

Maybe we should have a new members drive. offer extra content for people that join the forum, and more rewards if they stick around and contribute, like extras on the main site like with the donation gauge. Also, maybe existing members can get custom titles if they invite new members and stuff.

maybe forum members can do intensives as well, and maybe we should get some good RPs going again.

Just suggestions, no need to act on them if you disagree.

Merlin over at DHS Comixs has a shout box on the main page, maybe that might be a good idea

[Silver]

But like... while getting new members is nice, I'd rather grab the old members back. Whatever happened to Astral and Terra? Sims and Gar? Atma and Shadowman even? I'm friends with quite a few members here on FB - Gar, Marley, Kaida, Saber, and Poik and Stevenson of course. Heard from Opal not too long ago! Through DeviantART of all places.

And of couse, Doodle's still around here sometimes. We love you Doodleshark! You've never abandoned us!

[Josiah]

Hi! Yeah, new members are great (at least most of the time) but it'd be nice if a lot of the old members became active again. I've got some of them on my AIM and Facebook friends, I should bug them to start posting again...

On the specific topic of a shout box, I've considering that a couple times but, from my own experience, they tend to attract a lot of spam and flaming, which I really don't want to deal with.

[Silver]

Yeah, shoutboxes are breeding grounds for spam... but we have no members to spam it! So I don't think it'll be that bad. Don't know if it'll necessarily help, but I don't think we'd have any problems with it either.

[Josiah]

Hi! The forums would probably be ok in that regard, but not the main comic page (which does get a decent ammount of visitors).

[SuzuTitor]

So, I want to say that this is one of the best purchases I've made in my life.
78 minutes of orchestrated Pokemon goodness. What more is there to ask for?
