__Titans, speak up!__

So many spammers... There's a difference between being garrulous while joking and simply spamming. I think it's a bit disrespectful... but I know there are many of you who care about our clan. I'm asking you to speak up, but I expect of myself more than others, so I'll go first while I can.

Well, I love Titan; it's fun here and always has been. I remember when I was new here; everyone was so nice and welcoming. Then I ran into the Role Playing, I was like "Whoa!" I loved the idea of it, and have been having fun writing for a year now. I've made so much progress on my writing skills since then; I know that using what I have learned helped me get a huge scholarship already.

I'd also like to thank all of Titan's workers, and the HC. I know how annoying it can be to write reports and do things at time, and how everything builds up when you try to take a break. I hope you keep it up and can always find rewords in it, even if it's active members smiling.

That, and even our members have so many different interests, I always say you're all extra weird -- you are -- but that makes such a great community. I don't know what that word means to you, but it means a lot to me. There's inside jokes, and friends, groups for many different things, pretty much everything.

To be honest, this year has been kind of hard for me, I didn't even know where I'd live for a time, been arrested for stupid things even, but I've always been able to come here and find someway, or someone to laugh with and take my mind off of things. So thank you everyone.

Most of all, thank you Titan.


I know I'm not the only one who cares about this clan.

HCers write reports?! Oh, crap, I have to do upwards of six months of back-work... :P

We love you too, zip!

I can agree with Zip easily. There is a lack of thoughtful conversation here and an abundence of 3 word posts and emotes presenting themselves for no reason. I am aware of the fact that some people just need to be able to talk, but I never did figure out why a post count should be important.

I guess it's up to me to speak as an HC'er for just a moment here: Thank you Zipcat. It is very good to hear a Titan speak up when it's needed, not just hope someone else will mention it.

Of all the comments that could be left here, I'll just say that I am still proud to be a Titan, not one of the old, famous, the HC'ers, just a Titan.

Thank you for at least taking a moment to read this before heading over to the rankfund or armory or wherever.

I'm guilty of spamming, yes, but at least I try to keep it to a minimum.

And I love you too, zip.

Like I said though, there is a bid difference between making a jokily comment and spamming :P it doesn't bother me when people do, but I know some others really don't like it... so I thought I might say something on that. That's all

Hey! dont say that! spamming is the thing that shapes all forums! Its the backbone of their purpose!

Spamming, or rather random comments -- actual comments or jokes that is-- may make up the majority of some forums, yes, but that doesn't mean that actual spam doesn't frustrate people.

One thing though, bow4lyf, don't tell me what to say, I'll speak up when, and with what I wish to, just as you seam to constantly, even when it's impossible to be favorably considered.

bow4lyf: that post is exactly what I'm talking about. If you need to talk then please do so with some degree of respect to the people you are attempting to have a conversation with. Last time I checked, the forums are for general discussion by members of Titan and visitors to Titan, not a place to have an 8 digit post count to show off one's ability to type about 15 words in a row before you have to hit submit.

In general: If you are a Titan, and act like one, Thank you. If you are a Titan and don't act like one, why are you a Titan?

That's a mental tongue twister...a brain twister. :P

But something for everyone to seriously consider.

It's not your ability to convey meaning that they're complaining about, it's the message.

I bet ^.^

The main thing I'm trying to say though, is that people do care about their clan, and that should mean a lot to everyone.

Defiently, and ppl who dont care too much should respect the people who do and the ppl who help make the clan what it is
