Real life is real life.

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 20 Oct 2009 Posts: 12351

I don't know what that is.

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 29 May 2009 Posts: 6010

Its the part where you turn off the computer and open the blinds. The things you see around you is the real life.

lol, I agree. Except the part where you blink. Thats nature's lag.

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 20 Oct 2009 Posts: 12351

I thought that was de ja vu.

I know what you mean Catherine. Still, I know by now that there is a difference between being a royal status member, and a royal avatar holder.

gosh i wish i was a royal member soon. i think there's still 2 more people before me though

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 20 Oct 2009 Posts: 12351

I'm 12th on the list... going to be a loooooooooong time before I get my avatar. :/

lol being on the list for a couple years, its good to know patience on my(everyone's) part. So far Miss Vanessa does roughly 2-3 a year. 4 if she is on a roll.

Rune, you forgot me boyo... Life's been kicking me in the ass. Though I'm happy I've been so busy.

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 29 May 2009 Posts: 6010

Got it. Sorry about that. I hope things get better on your part.

Well Eechi, I based royal status to those who got their avatars. If not, there would be a larger number in that section. For now, I think that the ones who are there earned it for the length and duration that they persevered through by being here.

Well I find my activity is hard to maintain on these boards. I play online MMORPGs a lot more often than I'm on here. Plus, the longer I'm away the less faces I'm finding myself recognizing, which makes me less inclined to come back fully. I'll still keep up appearances, but it may be some time before I'm as active as I once was.

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 20 Oct 2009 Posts: 12351

I blame the lack of "open" RP's...

I created an open RP... and it was ignored. Sad

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 29 May 2009 Posts: 6010

I just don't RP since I would'nt know if the RP would last.

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 20 Oct 2009 Posts: 12351

Well how can the RP last if you don't RP?

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 29 May 2009 Posts: 6010

I participated in two RPs, both ending up dead because my partners had left.

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 13 Apr 2008 Posts: 2620

We're a small community it seems. It's a shame to see how many interesting members have left, but that's the way of online forums.

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 07 Sep 2006 Posts: 1000

C'est la vie.

I suppose I don't really count as active at all. I only briefly lurch to life here these days. Grad school and working full time will do that to you.

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 29 May 2009 Posts: 6010

Well, if you want me to put you on knowing that you still attempt to get on, I'll gladly put your name down on the list.

(There, all done)

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 13 Apr 2008 Posts: 2620

I took another look at this. I know that you say that by "active" you mean daily posting. That's probably a bit much to ask for. Personally I'd say weekly posting. Regardless, your list makes it seem like there's a much higher number of people contributing regurly to the activity here, while that's not the case. Many of those you've listed barely post once a month. I don't mean any disrespect to anyone, but just posting in this thread to say that you're active, doesn't mean that you are in fact active. That's like all the people who make a thread about how they're finally back, only to disappear again immediately. Personally, I only see half the Royals you've listed on a regularly basis.

and why is Miss Scorpia on the list? She hasn't posted since November last year. (I miss her BTW Sad

)

Symphony does have a point. There's active, then there's active.

There's a point where you come on regularly and post, be it hourly, daily, or weekly. But once it goes past that point, it becomes a bit less active and more semi-active.

Perhaps the list should be broken into active and semi-active members.

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 29 May 2009 Posts: 6010

Well, for me at the moment, active are those who are trying to post. If I see that they don't post anymore, or have been gone too long to be considered active, I'll take them off the list. I miss Miss Scorpia too, but I realized that she said she was going to be gone for awhile, so that is good enough to say she gave good notice, and I know she will be back.

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 07 Sep 2006 Posts: 1000

Oh, had no intention to proclaim myself as 'active' in any sense other than that I have a pulse. Razz

I probably don't measure up to any standard of activity. Never did, really. Joined five years ago, less than a thousand posts. Never was much of one for small talk, I suppose.

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 29 May 2009 Posts: 6010

Still, i see you come round from time to time. It shows you are still alive and even bother to post.
