This place has been filled to the brim with posts complaining about something or other. We seriously need more positive posts, so here's some puppies and kittens: Now, just talk about something you like. Anything. ANYTHING you like. The rest of us will join in. I'll start: So, what was one of your favorite hangouts as a kid. Mine was a small park out back from the barber shop my mom always went to. While she was busy getting her hair done, I would go out back and play with the kids from the nearby houses until it was time to go. What was your usual hangout spot?

I know kind of how you feel. You may have noticed I removed my signature recently. That's because Dr.Pain complained about it being too big and told me to remove it or make it smaller, and he even threatened to have me banned if I didn't!

I doubt Sunstar would ban you over a signature. I think somewhere there's a rule on the size of your signature and avatar (like your avatar can't be bigger than 100x100 pixels.

Oi. Well, at least Dr. Pain didn't threaten to have your computer virused.

I felt that powerpup97's signature was on the big side, but I wouldn't ban someone over something like that.
My favorite hangout is a place called Bot Corner. Bot Corner was a store in the worlds largest mall, two blocks away from where my school used to be. Bot Corner specialized in all things Transformers, and Gobots. I worked there as an after school job from the time I was 13 years old. I remember it so well. My favorite spot was the half off shelf. I got my masterpiece Optimus Prime off that shelf, and with my employee discount, I got it pretty cheap. The black wall held a row of tvs and beanbag chairs where you could sit and catch the latest episodes of G1, Beast Wars, Beast Machines, RID, Victory, Zone, and Masterforce. Up by the counter we stocked class one transformers, those whoes transformations were the easiest. (There were no Command class, legion lass, delux class, or leader class then. TFs were ranked one through 4 on the difficulty of their transformations.) Off to the right was were we stocked the Gobots. Class 2 transformers were stocked one shelf over with class three stocked one shelf over from them. Class four had the last shelf, and the far wall held the big sets like Fortress Maximus, Tripticon, Metroplex, and so forth. I remember the walls were painted a metalic silver and the floor was tiled in blue and white tile. I remember the giant versions of Optimus and Megatron in the display window. I remember setting up battles to display the various transformers and gobots.
I knew that mall. It had an ice skating rink, a water park, and Galaxyland, a theme park with the largest indoor roller coaster. I went back recently and Bot Corner was gone. In its place was a game stop.

Does Bot Corner still exist? And which mall was this? I know it can' tbe Mall of America, because there's one bigger than it.

I'm going to wait until the board updates to V5. There, I can do like an image coding to make my image smaller. See if that'll work.

It's in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, my old home. Bot Corner is no longer there. It was replaced by a Game Stop.
We'll have v5 by the end of May, the latest. You can use Microsoft Paint to make your image smaller through the image size adjuster.

Yeh, I knew that Bot Corner wouldn't be around anymore. Is the Game Stop that replaced it any good?

The Game Stop is pretty good. I got Pokmon Pearl and the game guide there. I don't cheat, I swear. I use the maps. I am very bad at directions and even with the maps, I still manage to get myself hopelessly lost. It took me two weeks to get through Rock Tunnel on my Pokemon Yellow version.

You, too, eh? Yeah, I used to use gameguides for the maps, too.

I'm notorious for getting lost.

The Red Wings are in the playoffs, so there's something I'm happy about.
And I hated Rock Tunnel in the original Pokemon. I'm someone who likes to catch a team of six Pokemon (I use Blastoise/Fearow/Raichu/Victreebel/Dugtrio/Ninetales in Blue) and I didn't want to waste a move spot on Flash (I didn't even have the Pokedex entries to get it) so I just walked around in the dark using the map as a rough guide. I was so glad to get out there and never have to do it again (bucking Snorlax.)

I seriously need to play that game sometime. I keep hearing good things about the original Pokemon, and I regret not getting into back in the day. The anime turned me off.

yet he still is opening his mouth missing the point of him ever shutting up. Well then I shouldn't stop either, lets all keep going with it.
