    Just showed my better half this thread and we've decided to give it a go. I'll probably be terrible, but it might be fun to try.

    She may be in, but I'm not. Too many bad memories from pumpkins being carved when I was a kid, and also I just don't have the interest. Good luck to everyone. I'm probably expected to be more hopeful for @Rain Dew to win. While I wish her the best of luck, like I said: I'm just not interested.

    If someone is going to be egregiously late, at least send a courtesy text. Though usually the people I have an issue with are habitually late.
    I knew a guy where if you told him an event starts at noon, he leaves his house at noon.

    I think it's important to call out friends who behave like this, otherwise the bad behavior is only reinforced. I call it "an opportunity for corrective behavior". If there is no improvement, clearly the friend (individual) does not respect you and your time and it's time to move on from that friendship altogether.

    It gets pretty annoying, I agree. I'm usually on time, but my ex-bestfriend would usually be 10-15 minutes late quite often.
    That said, I didn't really complain much about his behavior (partly because there were other aspects of his behavior that were far more problematic), and I didn't really mind waiting while playing my phone or my Switch.
    20-30 minutes is pretty egregious though, and if I have to wait that long, I'll probably head home by the 20th minute mark or just head to a local fastfood at wait for him there instead. I'm already not physically fit, so standing on one spot for 30 minutes is not my idea of a good time.

    Some people don’t understand being on time. I’m not gonna bitch at someone for being 5 mins late, but there’s always that one person that’s 20-30 mins late.

    It's a healthy platform for me to engage in conversations so far. There's very few incidents of head-butting and arguments I've experienced in the previous forums I've stayed in, so that's something.

    So a lawyer would need to prove that this contraception was improperly designed and did not contain sufficient foam blocks for padding? Is Twitchcon culpable or is the vendor who brought this in culpable? Btw, I've see these devices at gymnasiums and birthday parties all the time, I've never been interested in trying.

    I have no law background but I assume she could sue for inadequate padding, lack of safety and proper protocols, better known as negligence and misrepresentation, perhaps. She and anyone else participating likely had to sign a waiver absolving the venue from any lawsuits and damages but I am not sure the validity of waivers. What she has in her favor is the location of the Twitchcon - California - which is the most pro-customer/consumer state in the USA so there are likely a lot of laws that would make it possible for her to sue and win, tbh.

    The intention of the new contests are to offer additional ways for members to earn points.
    We had two additional moderators, but they did not work out for a variety of reasons. We will be looking to add at least one new moderator by the end of 2022, but we are going to take our time in identifying and vetting potential candidates. I have your interest notated from our previous conversations.

    DC is trying his best to keep VGR busy and interesting. It will be hard to find VGR less fun, anytime I'm here, I find new enticing threads to comment on. The bid for reward is there, admin gift users here free games just for posting around the forums. You can't see this kind of feature rampant in other communities. My experience here in the past 365 has been tremendous, and I'll be for a very long time.

    Honestly I enjoy it. It has a good simple layout, a easy posting textbox and a good user face that makes finding and creating easy. The community is far less toxic than Resetera (to be fair, that's quite a low bar to cross) and the moderation has been very calm and rational which is a nice change of pace. My primary problem however would probably be the point system and reward system in general, but I've discussed that in other threads so I'll keep my mouth shut.
    Something interesting I did notice was the size of a moderation team, there's only around three people on it. While it'll keep the team consistent and better regulated, I am curious on it's growth and how the forum's growth will affect it. I mean you can't exactly regulate 20,000 accounts with only three people.
    Something that I do like seeing more of is DC's contests, it's nice to have some extra activities that are able to be done. It helps keep the site interesting and creative. I hope DC keeps bringing in more threads like Trick Or Treat, it's a nice change of pace.
