*pops some popcorn* This is going to get good.

Enough of speculation on who the vandals are or are not. I've seen some pretty horrible things said on drawball, especially about romy, And i'm pretty sure she doesn't care, because she asked me why I do. (Because she's awesome and It pisses me off to see people attack someone they dont know, especially when they are so bloody awesome). People have wrote things about me, pretended to be me, whatever, because I really don't give a damn about what someone says about me on a giant game of MS Paint. Anyways, Run4runes is correct, we DO NOT ban people for off site matters, The moment an idiot brags on this forum that he slanders members on drawball, we'll talk, until then, sadly nothing can be done about it. it's unprofessional to ban for something not on the site and isn't covered in the rules. Although I know who the Lime Green Vandal was, He admitted he only drew green lines and never insulted anyone, thus it's all in good trolllollollol fun People will always do dumb things, and i'm not too bothered by it, I look upon Drawball and instead of focusing on the hate and the idiots, I see a community thats drawing itself closer together, a community thats developing new friendships and getting stronger, the vandals may think they are wearing us down or showing us up, or frustrating us, but in reality all they are doing is making us stronger, more closer and a better community than we were before. Perhaps we should give thanks to the vandals for being idiots, and bringing us together! Highly doubt it mate, i'd never let it happen :P

While perhaps it's unethical and immoral, no laws exist to keep you from accessing public domain material, or enforce/regulate it's proper usage, infact it's similar to websites like how peopleofwalmart are ran - If you go out in public with your 1970s pajamas and a multi colored sweater from the 1960s and end up as an internet meme , you have no legal grounds because you were in a public place and lose your right to privacy. Some facebook lawsuits were filed where a friend takes the picture of you drinking a beer underage or doing something bad you don't want people to see - nothing can be done - in usa as far as i am aware, the person who takes the picture - owns the copyright for it. Often when you upload a picture to myspace/facebook/photobucket (Depending on the sites TOS) You forfeit a great deal of your ownership in the piece. As soon as you send the image to a friend, you lose the rights to it to a degree. Been cases where facebook advertising used your friends pictures for advertisements, people sued, cases did not win at all. . Child porn is a major Felony and a horrible comparison, and for the most part is only deeply cracked down on in USA, UK and a few other countries like China, places like Russia or Japan - don't care as much if it all. (Lolicon is legal in japan and over 50% of manga produced in japan yet you can get arrested for it in USA, while it's pending criminalization in the UK (currently legal) - 3 major countries cannot agree on what constitutes child porn and art, you think they will on harrasment? Lets not even get into countries like India, China or Iran that filter internet and make it a crime to do common things like blog about current events. India = Homemade porn is 2 years jail, America = Nothing as long as everyone is of age. Worldwide laws will NEVER happen and are NOT practical. http://www.japanator.com/elephant/post.phtml?pk=8753 harassment isn't a felony like Child pornography, as it is currently a misdemeanor. Which means jailtime isn't always even associated with being convicted of it. 45 Days in America I believe, the problem is more often then not the government is over-reached and to my knowledge, law requires a court order here, and that takes time. I've never heard of any "quick law" cases involving an ISP and law enforcement, and I do have a working knowledge of law enforcement and lawsuit proceedings dealing with getting information from ISP's due to the nature of my job.

I'm hoping your a law major or practice law, cause i'd love a good legal debate. For starters unless I am mistaken in facebook court cases recently the law has been ruling in favor of the people who access the information. If you upload a picture of you doing drugs/drinking underage - cops can arrest you for it because it's public information. Angry people who said face-book albums were private have already had cases dismissed. Using public information and posting it - isn't illegal. Please show me the laws where it is. For starters 4chan would have to give the IP up, they are not required to do so by law unless it's subpoenad by the goverment - The ISP also protects the customer in that right, so you would need at least 2 to get action - those takes weeks to get - And believe it or not, That information isn't available at the drop of a hat. Most ISP's use dynamic ips (albiet some are more sticky with longer expirations) - but all it takes is a modem power cycle (for high speed) and or reconnecting (for dial up) and you now have hours of logs to sift through . ISP's are not required by federal law to keep that information on hold very long in the grand scheme of things. Heh, You seem to be misguided, for starters, no one goverment controls the internet and secondly, you ironically hit the nail on the head - You post your private info on the internet elsewhere - and even if you didn't intend for this forum to see it - it's now public information.

I collect things.

so i've been told someone is now trolling in my name *Facepalm*

tried to help restore logo, ran out of ink

From the noob comic.

Secondlife already demands either your drivers licensee #, social security number , passport number to access the adult content, they did it about a year ago and cause quite an uproar - some company runs it in a database to verify who you are, They suffered very little member lossage. http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Age_Verification_FAQ

Yes, quite drastically. How to tell everyone though? Argh. Pm the people that request it? Would be bad if he pmed the vandal though you know? I'm sure that lime green guy probably has the same info we have by his stamina.

Nah i was strictly working on the TIPS and the brown around it.

been trying to fix it.

We are proud to introduce Romy and Littleboy as our newest global mods! They have done exceptional work and we are proud to give them this promotion!

Well I am a lesbian

I don't see anything :P

I get annoyed when people talk [cabbage] about my friends :razz:

now i'm getting trolled with someone pretending to be me. LOL.

someone was insulting people still. So I put a warning on the ball. ;)

You've obviously not listed to people like sage francis, brother ali, atmosphere, aesop rock

I had a chance to chat with Jessica Andres at adventurecon. She was cast as suki I believe. Nice girl and friendly enough. She thought the film would be a hit, and thought it would go over really well. it sounded like she thought she had a big part. Turns out, her scenes were cut from the film. Glad I didn't spend $30 on her autograph LOL. The cast isn't fantastic - Some unknowns which can work, but often can backfire.- John Noble is the only actor on that list I have any positives thing to say much about (Lotr - Denelhor). I know Jackson Rathbone is popular, but I can't tell you much about his acting as I don't watch twilight.

But wouldn't knowing the future include knowing of any minor occurances or whatever, that would "change" the future, that's now known to you? I think if someone showed us the future, we would probably muck it up trying to stop it or to get to the future in the first place. For example in the second episode of dead zone. Johnny (main guy) sees a nurse at his hospital is going to be brutally murdered by a local killer who only kills women.. He panics and calls her, and she runs to her house through her yard because she hears the phone, had she of not run and walked, she would of been attacked by the killer, but because she managed to "avoid death" - The killer then went and found someone else to brutally murder. So even if you can cheat death for yourself, someone else could easily die in your place. I don't feel Death is something that can be predicted, or tamed.

I bought it, and the only rap i've really bought in the last decade is sage francis and stmosphere. Top notch stuff.

Reminds me of something else. So in the deadzone (season one mid season) Main character can see the future if he touches you. Right? Dude gets stuck in a bank thats being robbed by a pissed off maintenance man. And every time something happens, the situation changes where he sees in the future, more people die, He manages to use his powers to where no one dies, but how? The moral of the show that was hammered since episode one is that time changes based on every little thing you do. So if if fate said "Tripsis would die by being eaten alive by massive giant rabbits" - And she decided to go rob a bank - fate may change her death to getting shot by a security guard. The future is never clear, never known, never certain in almost anything, even fortunes telling/ Wicca.

You know there's this episode in buffy the vampire slayer where this girl tells Buffy (shes a counselor at sunnydale high , so season 6 or 7) she's going to die, and has a vague idea as to how. Turns out some jocks are going to make her a virgin sacrifice to summon a big demon. Buffy manages to save the day and keep the girl from getting killed, so they walk out of this side door, a crossbow left as a trap to ward off people who may crash shoots an arrow - Buffy's slayer speed lets her catch the arrow saving the girl from death. TWICE.. They leave the school, girl falls over dead, turns out she had an unknown heart condition. Moral of the story: Your time to go, you're going. Brought to you by Buffy The Vampire Slayer
