Popular Post Cy~ Posted May 25, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted May 25, 2017 Greetings splendiforous and fantastical stranger! I apologize in advance for any typos or unfortunate Freudian slips. I am writing this on my iPhone and I am actually terrible at mobile typing. Read on if you're brave enough to overcome my flaws and accept me as a human being. You can call me Cy~ (or Cy Strange Squiggly Line you prefer the strictly alphanumeric (I'm not overly fond of it myself)). The squiggly is actually part of my name, but you are welcome to exclude it if it offends. Regardless, I'm happy to meet you and I hope you'll say hello to me! I like making friends online, and I consider myself generally quite friendly. Read on if you consider this vague self-endorsement to be somewhat reassuring. I have a terrible tendency to be overly lengthy when posting on forums, but I will keep this introduction (and probably most of what I write) short and sweet. Let me see... What are some good introductory things... I am a casual fan of anime, older American animation, and a lot of other intersecting interests. I was actually only recently introduced to anime (last two and a half years) by my spouse who insisted that I be indoctrinated and dragged into this strange cult (open to new experiences)! It stuck, and we ended up watching thousands of episodes over the course of the next few years. I found my way to this small paradise after wandering the vast extents of the Internet, hoping desperately to find an anime forum to call home. Just when I had given up all hope, my wife (who sits right next to me, basically) was like, "Oh hey, while you've been dying of thirst in the no-anime-forum wilderness, I found this cute place and have been busy posting away!" After a moment of self-reflection, I joined! Read on if you approve of my snark. Other than anime, I am interested in far too many things to share here. I am a writer, currently working on at least one and a half projects. I am a programmer that specializes in the abstract art of internet plumbing (web development). I am an auto enthusiast with a love of cute, fast cars with terrible terrible terrible reputations. I am also an unapologetic spreadsheet wonk that spends far too much time doing questionable things in excel when I am left unsupervised. Read on if you're bored to tears and ready to accuse me of violating my promise to write and keep things short. Anyways, I really like this site. I am a harsh judge of forums, and I have ran or participated in the staff of at least a half dozen of them at this point. I even wrote my own forum software out of frustration with what was available at the time. Then, I retired early from all things community based, and I swore to time eternal that I would never ever ever join another forum again… Well, so much for that! Another random thing that didn't quite turn out as promised! Thus, here I am! And, there's nothing left to read! I promise! (For the curious, my spouse is Zoop on this site, and I love her very much. We're one of those disgusting couples that almost always seems to get along and have very few disagreements. I have relationship advice for those craving their own significant other - don't listen to any of my advice, I have no idea what I'm doing or what I did, and I'm probably the most continuously flummoxed girl on the internet.

Nectar Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Hey Cy~! Welcome to Anime Forums! I feel clumsy 'welcoming' you like that, I hope I don't sound too condescending since I'm just a lil newbie :3 Now that's what I call an introduction! (Internet plumbing is the absolute best analogy I've heard for web dev) I really hope AF lives up to your expectations, this is by far the friendliest and, for lack of a better word, cleanest Internet community I've stumbled upon And I'll absolutely say hello to you lol, just be prepared for my long boring rants that I'm never sure are interesting to anyone whatsoever xP And excellent job @zoop with dragging your wife into the world of anime... It won't be long now and the world will fall to their knees at the hand of Japan and it's army of impeccable storytellers... And high-school girls with skirts measured precisely to the millimetre in length. Also WELCOME PLEASE HAVE A COOKIE AND THEN PLEASE HAVE ANOTHER AND THEN GO MAKE POSTS I tried to find an anime related gif but they all had far too much dignity 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Histoire Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 OMAYGHAD Now I have to remove Zoop from my 'List' </3 Anyway, welcome to the forums. I do hope that you become active during your stay here, same as a certain Zoop. I'll just call you 'Squiggly' cuz it's fun. Well, if you have questions, feel free, I'm sure it won't go unanswered. See you around~ It's funny how the activity in this forum picks up during my sleep because I live on the other side of the world. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Cy~ Posted May 26, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 26, 2017 .... I was not actually expecting this many posts. Now might be a good time to mention that I'm a little shy, and well, honestly - you peeps are scaring me! Heya, stranger. Hello lovely lover. I really hope AF lives up to your expectations, this is by far the friendliest and, for lack of a better word, cleanest Internet community I've stumbled upon I read through the community guidelines, rules, and the welcome PM that I received. In addition, I have been lurking far and wide, today. From all of this data, I think that I am very happy with how this place looks. I agree that it just seems clean and friendly, which are actually two traits that I struggled to find among other sites. FINALLY. SOMETHING NEW I CAN SHIP. I'm going to always use the squiggle Cy~ Welcome to AF. I'm quite fond of Zoop, and I hope we can be friends, too! I am eminently shippable, feel free to send me wherever! And... YAY! I like it when people use the squiggly squiggle. That's quite informative, I almost feel bad about my introduction. Teru, my friend, you should never feel bad for such things. Being succinct is like a super power. I mean, just think about it. What if you had only 5 seconds to say the words that would save the world. With my many muttering monologues, I'd be doomed to miss that chance. While you wouldn't have that problem. Instead, you would say the words you need to say and the world would be saved. You would go on to reign as benevolent overlord, and I'd probably figure out something to say about three years later. Welcome to the forum it's nice to meet you, I hope you have a nice time here and if you need anything just ask Thank you! (Though, be careful what you invite. You never really know what happens when you leave the door open to someone asking for ANYTHING, hm?) Welcome.... Umm yea bye..... Hello there!! When I see your name, I think... Wait... Wait! Don't leave! I wasn't finished! I barely even started!!! OMAYGHAD Now I have to remove Zoop from my 'List' </3 Anyway, welcome to the forums. I do hope that you become active during your stay here, same as a certain Zoop. I'll just call you 'Squiggly' cuz it's fun. Well, if you have questions, feel free, I'm sure it won't go unanswered.

Wodahs Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 .... I was not actually expecting this many posts. Now might be a good time to mention that I'm a little shy, and well, honestly - you peeps are scaring me! after giving some breathing room , well hopefully by now your not so scared lil miss so hiya and welcome Cy~ to the wonderfully greatest animation and extra discussion forums ever I wont say hope to see you heaps or hope youll enjoy it here or even hope your stay is long as I'm already seeing/believing this to be so so ill see more of you inside the fun house 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cy~ Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 after giving some breathing room , well hopefully by now your not so scared lil miss Hehehe, I think that I'm the opposite of this at the moment. Whenever I get a chance, I post as much as I can without just posting junk. You guys are a friendly bunch and my first 2 1/2 weeks here have basically been quite lovely. If anything, I feel like I should almost apologize for how much posting I've been doing since arriving. hiya and welcome Cy~ to the wonderfully greatest animation and extra discussion forums ever I agree with this, tbh. It's soooo much friendlier here than at the other places. I've seen some anime forums that made me run in terror before I even finished joining. This one is different. I wont say hope to see you heaps or hope youll enjoy it here or even hope your stay is long as I'm already seeing/believing this to be so Yah, basically this. At the risk of sounding vaguely vampiric, the more I post, the more I want to post and I rather enjoy "feeding" on the environment here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brycec Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 (edited) Hehehe, I think that I'm the opposite of this at the moment.

If anything, I feel like I should almost apologize for how much posting I've been doing since arriving. Ah, don't feel sorry for that. I think things have been much more lively here with you, as there are more discussions I actually want to participate in now that you are here. There were a few interesting topics here and there, but, other than Orius's topics, things were somewhat dull. I agree with this, tbh. It's soooo much friendlier here than at the other places. I've seen some anime forums that made me run in terror before I even finished joining. This one is different. I have found at least one other friendly place, but then I got dragged into a mess by mods and admin. Here, things seem a bit more stable, and I am happier for it.
