Sadly this is for spambot prevention. We certainly aren't going to step out of the direction we're heading with that.

I spent a good deal of time typing up a thoughtful response, but I somehow got logged off (not my doing as I'm set to always be logged in) and was prompted to log back in, and upon doing so it wiped out the whole post. WTF?

yeah welcome to Seibertron forums, where the "log me in every visit" button does nothing

^^^this

should not happen.
it happens to me, aswell as (whoever this is) here, and is really annoying.
normally its okay, sometimes you wont be logged in when you go on, and someimes if your internet dies you get logged off.
REALLY ANNOYING. :evil:

No kidding!

I left it up overnight for a really important post, and the next morning when I posted, it logged me off, and it completely deleted my post, so I had to start from scratch. :BOOM:

anyway, you do realise that that is (on the smallest of scales) a crime.
and also, that sort of post is really quite rude.
personally, as with all newcomers, i do hope that you stay with our community, and seeing as by your posts you have some extent of inside knowledge you would be much appreciated, but please, please, refrain from making that kind of post.
you may think i am hating on you but trust me mate, if you do that again in a more populated topic there will be many people REALLY hting on you.
anyway, hope you stay,
AP =)

Why should I? that Gyrotron idiot won't stop sending me warnings and hes not even an admin or moderator. You all hate me so whats the point? You people have no sense of humor, I posted a thread about how I thought it was lucky that the weapon was basically out of the packaging. Obviously you guys are serious business and no fun and games and probably never laughed in your lives

your all too boring for my tastes

Have you made a complaint to the Mods and Admins?

You all hate me so whats the point?

I don't know you, so how can I hate someone I don't know?

You people have no sense of humor,

You don't know us, so how can you say that?

I posted a thread about how I thought it was lucky that the weapon was basically out of the packaging.

What you posted was against the rules of this forum.

Just like creating a second account is against the rules.

Obviously you guys are serious business and no fun and games and probably never laughed in your lives your all too boring for my tastes

You know, if you actually took the time to get to know people (and the forum rules) then you'd find we're anything but.

Buuuuuuuut ... clearly you have no interest in doing so, it's much quicker to judge people, and make a few posts that should warrant the attention of the Wahmbulance.

That's all that's going to be said on the matter. You can reply, but your account will be removed soon enough (because it's a second account which is a no no). Anyone else, leave it alone and walk away.

How was that against the rules of the forum? huh? why are there sooooooo many rules? on youtube you can do what ever you want, which is awsome. and this is my main account, delete the other one. I have no interest in knowing you all because your all cruel people and are blaming me for something that isn't bad. How is my post against the rules?its not like it's full of swear words? Is the average person on this site a 40 year old parent? Read the comments on my thread, they should get f*****g warning messages and such. Don't send me a warning or ban me. Acknowledge my comment and fix all this BS

Perhaps an acronym guide for people new to Transformers? POS is a certain derogatory term, right?

What exactly isn't bad? Stealing or bragging about it?

POS, POS, POS, don't tell me, i know this...
*secretly googles it*oh
right
i was expecting something TF related, not just piece of sh!t, which i new of course.

but yeah that sounds a good idea IMHO, wiith forum speak and WETF.
see what i did there?

by **alternator77** » Thu Jun 23, 2011 10:14 pm

it might be a good idea to make it a requirement for any new members to read and accept the terms of the forums prior to joining. that way later it cannot be said people were not aware. personally its to easy to set up an account and just ramble on about things that are prohibited.

i think to often many just skip the rules to post a comment unaware of whats allowed.

There's one very major design flaw that I find with this site. At the bottom of the page, there are nonstop video ads that can be quite distracting.

It would be a lot better for the user's experience if these ads weren't video ads.

This isn't a suggestion, just a compliment.

I love that OG G1 banner/background at the top of the page! Sweet!

News Credits: 3 · by **ArmadaPrime** » Mon Jun 27, 2011 3:04 pm

m.., i was gonna mention that here cos its the only relevant place, i LOVE the new slight redesign of the header/top menu bar.
Snazzy!
and the social network drop down with links to seibs on the book, the tweet, the tube, and all that jazz is nice.

by **Fortress Rodimus** » Tue Jun 28, 2011 9:55 pm

Same here i have been meaning to tell you that i love the new banner as well. You just don't get box art like you used to. :sad:

Oh well that is why there is the vault. :grin:

Again great job.

One thing i have been thinking would be cool. Is a way to find other seibertonions (not sure what to call us) who live in the same area. I just moved to Aurora CO just out of denver and would love to meet up with some others.

its an idea, but you could add a like button to facebook on every thread made so some one can share the thread on facebook. just a thought

That is a shame that some are so scared to let others know that they are fans of Transformers.. Really sad as they hide their interest in any fandom from their friends..

generally that will only happen in my age people where they are past the stage of all the kids liking them but not yet got to the stage where friends will respect your hobby/interest, even if they themselves hate it.

It's "character building". If people don't like you because you like Transformers, they're not really your friends. True friends will like you for you, baggage, hobbies, and all. I was always very open about my passion for Transformers. Used to get mocked in high school by it, didn't really care. Fast forward 16 to 20 years later, and I'm now the owner of one of the largest Transformers fansites in the world which has over 1/2 million people visit each month. I'm glad I stuck by my convictions and my passion. If you're a fan and you're proud to be a fan, don't be ashamed. Be a proud fan. Believe in yourself. It's worth it. Trust me.

TF fandom rocks. Back in High School and College i had so many TF tshirts it was crazy. Now most of my Tshirts are TF and i am working on a masters. Just goes to show anyone can like TF. any age and any generation. So keep it up if you like them collect, watch, and read.

HI, I always thought it would be cool if there was information included in the toy galleries. In particular information about re-used molds and variants of characters. For example the Starscream mold was used to make all the other seekers, this is true from G1 to now. Some just repainted and others like Thrust had just a few changes to the mold. This info can be very useful; once I picked up lawn saling a classics starscream looking figure with a green camo paint scheme, to figure out who it was I had to look through the toy gallery. I got lucky as it was acid storm and was at the top of the list. But with the info I am suggesting I could have looked up classics starscream and found a list of all the characters his mold was used for. Also it helps in this way, I happen to love the ROTF Thrust figure, which I believe is an original mold. I can't help buying all the variants of the mold, such as the Thrust from two pack with Bumblebee, and then Breakaway in two color variations, and now there is a new Air Raid using the mold. It would be cool if I could go to the Thrust page and see all the other ones that are out there for me to collect. I got the idea from the GI Joe site YO Joe (dot) com which has a figure archive. THANKS

Ha, I'm a 26-year old woman and I go out in public in TF shirts. Don't care what people think. I've actually gotten plenty of compliments. I've put decals on my (now sold) minivan and bought a car specifically because it resembles a well-known Transformer (plus it's awesome). Transformers movies get butts in movie seats, so we aren't exactly alone.
