Alot of us say things on here that we will never forget.
They were either really mean, extremely funny, or downright stupid.
So heres the thread that will collaborate some of the best quotes in the Temps history!
I have a couple from the TaeWong days, such as
"Bad children play in casinos and speak swear words."
Or "Resident Evil Makes My PeePee place go boing"

What about yall? What do yall remember most?

Not sure if I should be taking my inclusion on that one as a compliment or not. Do me a favour and remove my blog from that. I post it here because it allows me to clear my head since nobody involved can read it and misunderstand my intentions (you all remember why Hitomi163 left) but if it's proliferating beyond this site then there's more of a chance that a misunderstanding could occur like it did with Hitomi. I don't mind my random comments with no bearing on my life or that of others don't bother me, keep as many of them as you want. But nothing that mentions my friends directly, ok? Hope that's ok.

I'm not sure if you're aware of this...but you most certainly posted your story in a place where those involved could read it. The "general off-topic chat" section is not locked away from visitors/guests. One of the perils of putting your shit out there for everyone to see...

The difference is that none of my friends visit here. This is my private haven where I can air my thoughts and get some perspective. Usually with major issues I simply bounce them off friends not involved in the current situation, but it often helps to get perspective from people completely outside the situation. Everyone knows not to come here as it's what I need just for me. Whereas with Twitter they could easily stumble across it and a misunderstanding occurs which is more trouble than I need right now. Hence why I control my online presence and why I need people not to take liberties with my blogs.

I understand where you're coming from and all, but I think you're overreacting just a little bit. Your friends have the same chances of stumbling across GBATemp as they do stumbling across the Twitter account, and generally people use Twitter to follow people/things they're aware of, not randomly coming across a page and investigating every link posted. In fact, I'd be willing to bet there's more of a chance they come across GBATemp than the Twitter account. I get you don't want some people invading in on your blog and such, but posting it on a forum in a section where any unregistered member can view it wasn't exactly the best way to do it.

My friends are all well aware of my presence here and why I come here. They won't stumble across anything here because they know not to come here, they have no business here anyway, I'm the only serious gamer of the group. Whereas Twitter proliferates wildly, there's no telling where anything could end up. I'd rather things were reasonably stable where I know where my words end up. If people want to quote things I say at random that don't make mention of my companions, go ahead if you find it amusing. The quotes on Rydian's list I don't mind, they're simple jokes that are purely for entertainment purposes that couldn't possibly offend anyone. But I don't think it's too much to ask that if someone wants to add a clearly personal story to their own list of stuff they at least seek my permission first.

As for posting in an unsecured area, to my knowledge there IS no 'secured' area at this time aside from the trding forum, which is hardly the place. Once the blogs area is revived and assuming it's not accessible to non-members, I'll return to posting there for control over my articles.

Might I suggest posting your blogs in multi-recipient PM's to the people you care to hear from until an appropriate section is made available? I have no problem with your stories ending up in gotc because I can just skip over them, but to suggest that someone is invading your privacy by quoting a silly comment of yours is ridiculous considering you're the one who let it loose on the masses. You should keep in mind that 1) no one cares who said what and when 2) you can't possibly hurt your reputation among the people who are most likely to ever see that quote and follow the link required to discover who wrote it. Though, I can foresee a blog where Guild is being brought to task for someone...somehow...stumbling across a mind-numbingly random twitter account and assaulting you in some way.
