Noxico's not dead yet, as Nicole can attest.
Newly-updated character creator, and if you finish your character before the world finishes generating in the background, you get a bit of backstory.

Insane? You have a strange definition of "insane", friend.

Don't be silly, Nicci. This board is about what you ate, what you're wearing, what the weather's like, and what you're listening to.

Alternate answer to the title question: it's filled with so many wonders, casting its spell that you are now under.

Why not both?

On ABXD Mini, I have an email field, a public email checkbox, and a gravatar checkbox. It has no avatar linking or uploading, only gravatars. If you provide an email address, no matter the public/private switch, and enable gravatar, it'll try to use that email address. Hashed, of course, as Gravatar wants. If your email isn't public, your profile page won't show it.

So "kawaoneechan@gmail.com" → "d0bd59922f5096b2c559f2b3a5d6ded9" →

If I wanted to have both gravatars and moods, I'd probably take the current system (upload your primary ava and any moods) and add a "use gravatar" checkbox. If you pick a mood, it'll use the one you uploaded, if you pick "-Normal Avatar-" it'll use... either the uploaded pic, your gravatar, or none if you so happen to have no normal avatar set. That's what I'd do.

If gravatars are enabled && email is set, use gravatar src, else if picture is set, use picture src, else print nothing.

bam you're done. If it's overcomplication, it's not a whole lot.

Or, if you want to prevent confusion as to what "impaired" means, and you know there'll be people who don't understand that word, "stoned driving is as bad as drunk driving" perhaps.

Still using the same rotation of Queen Chrysalis wallpapers, still open for suggestions.

"So yeah, it's declining." -- I forget

Believe me, I am still alive.

Sometimes I research stuff and write down my findings so yes yes I am.

Clearly, Dani posts too much.

You might expect me to enjoy that kind of joke. Couple years back I probably would've. Now on the other hand, recent writings notwithstanding, I just can't seem to do better than "vague melancholy".

More like I've been avoiding this board because of such things.

I mean, I've got Ask-a-palooza on ignore, which leaves mostly this thread and the status updates as the only other regular activity, and most of this thread keeps boiling down to the girls, so yeah.

The ten thousand dollar question remains, why do I keep coming back?

I almost practically grew up with this site and its predecessors. The whole Acmlm's Board thing, the fun posting experience... and now this. This board, me...

I wonder... why do I keep crushing on foreign girls? Or foreign girls who are also lesbian, transgender, already spoken for, or any combination of the above?

At least I know by now that it's f'kn hopeless to begin with, so the intensity of the crush, much like this community, has been declining.

Can confirm, it's not.

...Something about this seems extra painful to me.
