I've just realised something crazy due to this board. What did you realize? *is curious now* Well... Jay posted his MSN, right. And I've had that address on my MSN for a very long time. But I haven't spoken to him in years. So Jay is actually someone I've known on the internet for a very long time, through when we met on Habbo ages ago. D: But I never noticed he was on here. That's madness, that is. I can't believe it's the same person. o____o EDIT: Or I hope it's the same person. Otherwise I just sound like a lunatic. XD

First post is updated. ^_^ Let me know if I missed you, or something.
The first pairings of PM-a-Friend should be announced next weekend. Post to put your name on the active list and get involved!
We're accepting ideas for Question of the Week. Post them here on the thread or PM Ginz or Craig with your suggestion. Be creative!
We're considering giving away free Noticeboard spots for a week. If you'd be interested in entering a random draw for one, post here. (Note: Post even if you don't have a "notice" written yet; posting won't enter you into a drawing yet, since we're not sure if there will be one.)

I have a idea for Question of the Week:
What is the one thing that you think defines who you are?
Also, since I forgot to do this earlier on, can I open an account in the Bank? ^_^ Thanks guys. *glomp*

Wahoo! Well, time to start trying to be active and sensible, so I'm in! So, sign me up for PM-a-Friend v 2.0, please! If you could describe yourself using three words, what would they be, and why?
Approachable - (I was going to go for 'Easy to Approach', but that would ruin the rest of my list). I like to think that I don't outright judge people for the way that they act, and, if somebody had a problem that they needed to get off their chest, that they would feel comfortable doing that to me. People have in the past, and it hasn't changed how I treat them or see them, other than that I have a better understanding of them and who they are.
Friendly - Largely in the sense that, following on from my previous word, I'm not really one to dislike people. I find that the more I know a person, the harder I find it to dislike them - as it is, at the moment, there's nobody I can think of that I particularly don't like.
Logical - I like to rationalise things, and try and view things from every angle before making a decision. I certainly highly value my brain and thought processes, and think it is an important part of who I am.
What do you think of the Friends in the Forum project?
Awful. Certainly wouldn't want to take part at all...
No, really, I think it's a fantastic idea. A really good way to help people get to know one another, in a non-intimidating environment. Hopefully it'll help pull more lurkers like me out of the woodwork, anyway! I'd also like to submit a question - "What one quality about yourself are you most proud of?" As well as that, I'd like to open a bank account (*produces passport and a utility bill as proof of ID*), and furnish y'all with directory information.

I'm definitely in! =D Name: Azzie Forum Username: azalea Neopets username: punkinunk MSN: butterflytracks@live.ca I'll answer the first one when I can think of an answer! XD
What do you think of the Friends in the Forum project?
I really like it. It's a nice way to bring together people from all over the NTWF, and hopefully create many new and wonderful friendships.

Okay, this just looks too cute. So sign me up! Name | NTWF username | Neopets username | Chat ID | Fraze | Frazeocity | Frazeocity (inactive) | frazeocity@comcast.net (email), frazeocity@hotmail.com (MSN) |
If you could describe yourself using three words, what would they be, and why? 1) Eccentric. This description is supported by many other people, both on the net and off. I have always had a particular interest in things out of the mainstream--this comes across in many aspects of my life, including my sense of humor. 2) Thoughtful. I admit to being an introvert much of the time, and as such I spend a great deal of time thinking, pondering just about any subject, be it mundane or fantastic. 3) Ironic. As absurd as this world is, it's important never to take it too seriously.
What do you think of the Friends in the Forum project? There probably isn't anything I can say here that hasn't already been said. If this manages to stay active, it could be a great addition to the forum.

Okay guys, the first Friends in the Forum update has come! The first post has been modified accordingly, but here's the new stuff: The new PM-a-Friend Pairings!Spoon/Elle McNell Jay/Rob Celestial/Ariana Azzie/Sock Craig/Sarn Ginz/Fraze (There are few pairings because it was a short list, but hopefully we'll just keep growing!) Also, there are two new questions of the week!What is the one thing that you think defines who you are? --submitted by Celestial
What one quality about yourself are you most proud of? --submitted by Spoon Congrats to Celes and Spoon, you've both been awarded 1 FF Point for suggesting the questions. ^_^As a reminder to all, it is encouraged to answer the questions, but also to discuss them here. It's always interesting to see if someone else's answers are similar to yours to find out who you can relate to. Here's something else to think about: this week's couple of questions might be a bit similar - is the thing that defines us also the one we're most proud of? Are they different? What do you think? Have fun!

<3 Craig! xD What is the one thing that you think defines who you are?Ah, that would be my God-given Empathy. *sigh* I feel the need to make everyone happy and thus, I try to guess what would result in happiness for any given person and I go out of my way to do whatever it is. Sometimes that involves me staying well away from someone whom I think doesn't enjoy my company. Another side of it is that I'm generally submissive to the will of others whose happiness is also my happiness, even if it is painful. Am I making sense? xD What one quality about yourself are you most proud of?I'm not generally proud of things I do/say, but if I had to pick something, it would be my steadfast beliefs and my unwillingness to compromise them as I would with almost everything else (as a result of empathy). Having said that, I am always open to new information, new ways of thinking about things and I'm not one to shove my beliefs down someone else's throat. My Question: If you could spend a day in one place, real or fictional, where would it be? Why/What would you do? You guys said there might be free noticeboard slots for a bit and I wondered if I might nab one? Here's my notice, use it or not. xD Trade With Sarn - I'm looking for people to trade art with so I can practice and for applications. Click Me!

Randomizers are awesome. XD Just a head-ups, although maybe you already know, but Craig is away this week. But since PM-a-Friend lasts two weeks now, you can chat with him next week. ^_^ I'll post my answerst to the questions tomorrow, cause right now it's really late and I'm not thinking straight anymore. XD
