Ugh. How many times must the insanity increase!?
I lurk the graphics forum, expecting to find an extremly HQ design. NO! I find horrible kindergarten work! And people, SHOW AN EXAMPLE OF YOUR WORK! We want to see how "great" your work is, BEFORE you make us pay for it! Ack! That is my worst pet peave! SHOW EXAMPLES DANG IT!

Oh. My. Freaking. God.
What has this retarded world come to?
Must everyone I talk to get banned, or forum banned? This is pure insanity! I have few friends here, and they seem to be getting banned bit by bit! what the heck!? Is staff not paying attention to what good they do? What evil they are not? God! I miss my friends! BRING THEM THE HELL BACK!

Are you freakin' kidding me? The site is having retarded errors all over tonight! I've refreshed, closed out my page, opened up new tabs, and refreshed again, so many EFFIN' TIMES! Fix it god damn it! I know errors happen, but it should not be to the extent that I have a problem getting my internet to stay up. It closes out unexpectedly every few minutes because of these damn errors. Is this a glitch with only my computer, or with everyone tonight? Cause if it's just me I want this fixed right the fudge now!

Hmm, today I think I'll do a few rants, as I am quite bored, and need to. (:
Michael Jackson. Come on people, the whole meaning of RIP is to let him rest in PEACE so let him do that. Stop making loads of topics about him. We all know why he died and how great his music was but there will be people to follow him that are equally great or better. End of rant 1.
The fact of there being no where for older members to talk. The 12 month forum is full of newer people that are still relitivly un experienced compared to some of us. Yes, some of them are very knowledgeable about mara but some dont know anything. There should be somewhere for older and more experinced members to chat and air their views without someone coming along and destroying the topic. So can we get an under 1,000,000 members forum? End of rant 2.
Chat speak. Why cant people just talk normally? You dont have to punctuate it normally just type it normally so everyone can read it with ease. I can understand why people use 'lol' or 'rofl' but when people use it and it is the same length as typing normally, for example 'lyk yoo wanna go' I really see no point in it. And when people ask you to speak normally and you continue to use it, it is just ignorance. Same goes for caps. End of rant 3.
White fonts. They drive everyone insane when you have to highlight them. Just get rid of the darn things. End of rant 4.

And all these stupid scams! Are you kidding me? First of all, use correct grammar, spelling, and punctuaction damn it! And second, don't click on any links that you get from a mail until you put all your money in the bank. Once you do, THEN go to the link. If you find it to be a scam, or think it is, mail staff and send in a support ticket. Third, why the hell are you trying to scam anyways!? Are you that freakin' pathetic?! Get a life, scammer. And lastly, why the hell is there even a forward button!? It's just a button that is bound to get us all in the hole. GAH!

August 5th- computer lock down. wouldn't come up.

Lord oh mighty. Why did you ever bestow this creature among us? This girl, I'm going to call her 'Terri' has manipulated my club. My friend, I am going to call her, 'Stella', she also thinks this. We think she is an idiot of sorts. She thinks she can just screw with our club? Destroy the very friendships that hold us together? LIE about her damn age?
This girl, Terri, says she is from the age range of 10-16. Everytime you ask it's completly different. But Stella knows the truth. The absolute truth. Terri is not "10" or "16". She, long behold, is in her thirties!
And by golly, this girl is a p.i.s.s pot! Nothing but rude comments, and begging. Although, it's not her attitude I am talking about. It's her whining. Not once did she thank me for the few things I gave her. [ex. PHANTY with a good name, 100k plushie] She is one ungrateful woman.
Stella, you know what I'm talking about. She is very nasty, and rude. She has an evil plot to take over our club, but no one will listen to our plea's.
I believe the ext time she goes too far, I will be leaving. Mara is filled with people like her, I know that. But maybe starting over in a different club, with Stella possibly, will make Terri understand she can't have everything she wants.

Babble// <33 I love these

You have quite a few options. Begging over and over and over is not one of them. It is rude, and useless.

1~ I understand if someone is having a 'pet give away' and you fill out an app for the pet. After you do that though, don't ask them for a diffrent pet. Don't beg them over and over. Just post once, wish everyone else good luck and then leave. Don't go back unless your checking to see who won, or to boost everyone up a little.

2~ If you want an LE pet, don't make a tpoic asking for one, or saying you will trade all your pets that are not costumed for one. Its worthless! There are many ways to get Les. Here are some of them.

~Stating your Non-LE and costuming it, then try trading it.

~Do mission for a potion (you also get mp at the end)

~There are upgrades if you have the money.

~Enchanted plushies are another way, they are a little pricey sometimes though.

Those are all some ways to get LEs and the ways I gave also can help you get Non-LE pets. You must work for your pets to get what you want.

3~Working hard gets you farther! Do not go from Topic to Tpoic, user to user looking for somone to just give you a pet! Its also another worthless idea!

4~ Back to the to the 'Pet give away' Idea. After the winner is announced, say congrats, and move on, don't stay there wineing on and on how you should of gotten the pet. It is another rude thing to do! You should just Congrat and move on. IF YOU WIN the pet give away, don't try to rub it in others faces that your app was better or so one. Just say thank you for all your support, accept the pet, and leave.

5~Being nice helps! When you are nice to others they will be nice to you. Once in awhile try donating to someone new, or try making another friend. When making Apps or somthing, if you add that in, or you were nice to the person even before their giveaway, or better yet, your nice to them durring the giveaway, it helps, trust me. The GOLDEN rule! TREAT OTHERS THE WAY YOU WANT TO BE TREATED!

6~ This number is to the people who find others begging for pets, or posting over and over again asking for someone to just give them a pet.

~Correct them on their wrong doing, nicely.

~If you see it again give them another warrning, nicely still.

~By the thrid time, if they are still begging and posting lousy Tpoics, report them. Don't tell them your reporting them though, and don't yell at them. Don't even post if there is a third time you see it. Just click report and go on with your online life.

7~This Topic I have created also can go for items, and mp. It's rude to be a Begger, but its also rude to be mean.

The main key points of this topic you ask? Well here they are in short for if you would like to had them to your Blog or repost it if it starts to gie down.

1~ Fill out ONE app for a pet, and dont bed.

2~ Work for your pets. Try doing Missions, and saving up Mp for Potions and Enchanted Plushies.

3~ If you are not the winner of somthing, don't be mean to the winner or the giver. Say Congrats, and move on.

4~ If you are the winner, don't be mean to the others and rub it in their faces. Be kind and say thank you.

5~ If you see someone begging on Forums, or in MaraMail, give the the three step warrning.

First time~ Be kind as you can be and say, That is not aloud, so please don't do it agian.

Second time~ Still be kind, but be a littl rougher, but still don't yell at them. Warn them again by saying, I've told you once, thats rude, and you should do that.

Third time~ They should have learned by now not to beg or so one, so just don't post on their topic at all. You just report them. Don't tell them your reporting them, they should know its comeing by now.

6~ This also applies for Items and MP!

7~ THE GOLDEN RULE! TREAT OTHERS THE WAY YOU WANT TO BE TREATED! IT'S ONLY FAIR THAT WAY!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THANK YOU, for reading this. I hope it helps when trying to figure out what to do because you don't have amazing pets, or what to do when you see someone begging repeatvily, or if they aren't being nice. If you have any questions, or think I need to add somthing to this, just post or MM me. Please keep this up for awhile because I think some newer memebers still need to learn. I will be posting this in my blog, and maybe on other forums. I hope this helps everyone who took the time to read this through.

I have read comments about Ian on various occasions. During the crashes, during the switch to the new system, during MANY occasions. I have gotten sick of the complaints so I am going to rant and rave here on my own blog. Anyone who reads this, if you can't say something nice, DO NOT SAY ANYTHING AT ALL!!!!!!


Ian is NOT a robot! He needs sleep, food, and time to himself! He does have a life outside of Marapets!
Ian is NOT a slave! I can't even imagine all the hard work that goes into maintaining a massive site like this one, but I can assume that it take a LOT of HARD HARD HARD HARD HARD HARD work!!!
Ian works HARD to keep this site running, to keep it fresh!

All I ever see anymore is people moaning and whining about how things aren't ready when THEY want it to be or how things aren't fair. Here's a hint at how the REAL world runs- LIFE'S NOT FAIR! GET USED TO IT! EVERYTHING ISN'T ROSES AND NEW CLOTHES IN THE REAL WORLD, LIFE IS WORK AND MOST OFTEN UNFAIR!

Personally, I do admit that I get impatient with some things, BUT! I also know that moaning and whining will NOT make it happen any faster. Children, tweenies and teens may get what they want when they want from their mothers and fathers if they whine enough, but those are some spoiled brats! The real world does NOT run that way, and those kids are getting set up for failure because they will NEVER have learned what it's like to actually EARN what they get!

Do something different, it's apparently a new thing now. THINK OF OTHERS BEFORE YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTHS TO COMPLAIN! For that matter, just THINK! Gods above and below, what is this world coming to?
