I remember my first encounter with Ace. It was on a Site called; Writing.Com, and they posted a chapter in an "Oliver & Company" Interactive Story, where I noticed their chapters were literally a Copy & Paste of a "Muppet Babies" Episode, just with "Oliver & Company" Characters written where the Muppet Character names would be.
I understand your shock, too; They also used an Image of mine, and of Clayton, and then claimed it was their Character, too. They then got angry, when I PM'd them, where I just asked if it was indeed them on Twitter. Some thing that surprises me is that they do not even seem to recognize that "Using Some One Else's Art & Characters, Without Their Permission, Is Wrong!". In fact, they threaten to report us, solely cause we asked them not to do that. How is it unreasonable to point out; "You are using my Art & Characters without permission, can you not do that, Please?".
They even referred to themselves as Sparky's "Self-Appointed Assistant".
If any one is on Twitter, can they try asking them not to use Flo's Characters, too, Please?

Wha—seriously?! Sparky’s “self-appointed assistant”? Is Ace for real?!

I highly doubt he was Sparky's appointed assistant. Sparky would confirm it if he were here.

He just said "The Big Boss". Given how delusional he seems, that could mean Sparky, The Proboards CEO, a Proboards Admin, His mother, or God. =P

Wow...
Just...wow...
This...just shows that he’s too immature and delusional to even be on the Internet. He takes things that belong to other people and claims them as their own, he talks back to people who spoke logically to him and tried to talk some sense into him, he thinks he’s a much bigger person than he actually is, he thinks he’s always in the right and those who called him out on his actions are in the wrong, and he makes proclamations that he can never accomplish, not even in his sleep. There’s definitely something wrong with this guy. With him being a member here for years, it makes me wonder why he’s been acting like this as of late. I hope he doesn’t even act like this when he’s not on the Internet, because if he does, he can get in serious trouble.

Hoo-boy, what weather we’ve been having here in the past few days!
There’s been a winter storm going on where I live, which is very unusual, because we very rarely have that kind of weather here. Like almost never!
It was snowing a lot everywhere, and the snow was so thick that people couldn’t even drive out of their driveways to go places where they needed to go. Those who could, though, had to drive very slowly, because the roads were covered in ice. There’s little to nothing in stock in stores because of this, so we weren’t able to go buy the essentials. The storm was so bad that there’s not enough water in the area where I live, so we have to do what we can to conserve water.
The snow and ice is now melting, but not by much. The strange weather is still going on, and there’s still not enough water around here.

You... ran out of water because it snowed? You live in a southern state, don't you?
I swear southern states get a little bit of winter and they have no idea what to do.
Well, the good thing about snow is that you can melt it into water to drink. There is probably plenty of it and it's pretty clean if it's thick enough. =P or if you don't want to drink it, pour the melted snow into your toilet for flushing. That will save a bit if water.

I do, but like I said, it was unusual weather where I live. There was still snow everywhere, and the roads were still covered in ice.
Now, there’s no water in our area. We have to make the best of the water we were still able to get before this happened. The snow and ice are still melting slowly, but we won’t be getting any more water for another day or two.

I’ve been hearing all about that winter storm in the news, Flo! I hope you’ll be okay.

Okay, there has been something that I have been holding in for years, now, and I truly believe that now is the time for me to get this out of my system.
Here I go. It’s about respect and maturity in this forum. For a long time, this forum has seen many arguments, complaints about petty crap, and just moments of being whiny little babies. I know that these things are resolved or happened in the past, no matter how long ago it is, but this is something that just has to be addressed.
After seeing all the drama that went on here for all these years, I gotta say that I’m very disappointed in you guys. Most of the time, when there’s a problem going on here, you handled it poorly. There are those of you who let your emotions go out of control when they said or did even the most minorly unpleasant things that upset you or when they disagreed with you. There are those of you who demanded respect just because of your status or your disability. There are those of you who wrongfully defended some people for the sole fact that they’re your friends when they rightfully got called out for what they did wrong. There are those of you who used your personal problems as an excuse for your actions on here when you got called out for it. There are those of you who did something wrong and stupid, and denied that you did it rather than take responsibility for your actions.
All this is something that has been going on here for a long time, and it’s still going on here recently. That’s why I bring this up, to let you know that all this has been carried over throughout the years and to the present, and to remind you of all this and that it needs to change. I’m surprised that we’ve been having all these problems going on for so long, to be honest. By now, all the members on here are adults, so because of that, you’d think that we’d all, you know, act like adults and not let these things happen? And no, don’t tell me that these things just happened out of nowhere. These things happened because of you. You made them happen. For a long time, I’ve seen people on here act immature, unappreciative, irresponsible, undisciplined, pathetic, insensitive, callous, selfish, ignorant, arrogant, rude, defensive, insane, and emotional. Even worse is that anyone who acts the way they shouldn’t act and rightfully gets called out for it says anything they can to make themselves look good. That’s not an adult thing to do!
And don’t any of you say that you haven’t done any of what I just said here. You guys are guilty of having done any of these things at some point, and saying that you’re not shows that you’re in denial. Denial is not just some river in Egypt, you know. And before any of you babies call me out for calling you out for all this and remind me of what I did here in the past, yes, I’m guilty of having done any of these in the past! NOBODY HAS TO REMIND ME! But what I did was not as bad as what you guys did! Usually, I stay out of the way when I see something like this happen around here, but there are times when something like this happening has given me reason to speak on the matter.
Now, don’t anybody tell me that I LOVE bringing up past drama and starting any trouble, because I DON’T! I am NOT trying to start any trouble with this post! I’m just trying to remind you what problems we had here so we can actually learn from all this, change our ways for the better, and do what we can to NOT let said problems happen again! And I am sick and tired of being made out to be the bad guy when I tried to HELP in a situation and reminded someone that they did something wrong! Some good people you guys turned out to be!
Okay, I know that what I’m doing, now, is getting out of hand, but I had to get it all out.
Look, guys. All I’m trying to tell you is that we’re all adults here and we should act like adults, and that respect is a two-way street. If you want respect from others, you have to earn it. Think about what you’re gonna say or do before you say or do it. Try to be civilized and act rationally when you respond to someone on something you disagree with. And when you do something wrong and get called out for it, admit your faults and mistakes; don’t deny that you did something wrong. Take responsibility for your actions, think about what you can do to make things right, and actually show that you can do the right thing. Actually prove yourself and not just say it and expect others to believe you on that. Actions speak louder than words. Like I said when I posted the Moron Olympic medal pics, you should follow and remember these three simple steps:
1. Stop 2. Think 3. Change
Seriously, I don’t know why people think it’s so hard to follow these steps. Anyone who does think it’s so hard to follow these steps is in no condition to be here.
So, I may have touched some nerves with this rant. It’s easy to tell that there will be people on here who will get offended by this when they see it, and I apologize in advance if I do, but it’s your fault that I said all this, to begin with. I’m just calling things out the way I see them, and had it not been for you having done these things that guaranteed this to happen, I would not even think to make this in the first place. So, if you just change these things about yourself and be a better person, then you will be a more awesome person than you’ve ever been, to begin with.
So, that’s it for my rant. Now, when you see this, take the time to actually read the whole thing carefully, do some serious thinking, and really look back at your past actions here and think about them and how you can move on from that and be a better person. Responses to this rant are welcome, just as long as they’re civil and well-thought out. If I see any bad responses to it, I will give you a good talking to, so just, you know, watch yourselves.
Peace out.

I 100% agree with this rant. And the problem isn't with any ONE particular person. SEVERAL people have acted like this.
Good rant, Flo! I like this!

Thank you, Button. That actually was EXACTLY what I was going for with this rant, having it be about many people here, if not everybody here, and not about just one person in particular.

*applauds*
Well said, Flo! I agree with you 100%, and I admit I am guilty of some of the things you listed. I will try my hardest to be a better person because of what you said, and hopefully other people on here will too.

Hey, guys!
For some time, now, I’ve been seeing a different specific image on the right side of the search bar on my computer everyday, and when I hover the cursor over the image, some information about it pops up, saying that it’s a specific day pertaining to that image. It always says “World/National/International (insert thing here) Day”.
Today, when I checked it out, I saw that today is National Donut Day.
So, I’ve been searching for more days like these, specifically one on my birthday, and I saw right there that that day is International Youth Day, an awareness day when a given set of cultural and legal issues regarding youth is acknowledged. This particular day also has a different theme every year, and this year, the theme for this day will be transforming food systems, even though some sources say that that was the theme of that day last year. Well, I don’t know what will really be the theme of International Youth Day that year, but I’d really like to follow this day, especially since it falls in my birth month, which seemed to have no holidays. I even like the theme of transforming food systems, since I have a few characters here who are largely associated with food.
And I know that a food system is the production, the processing, the distribution, and the consumption of food, in that order, but this gives me more of a reason to think about my food-associated characters, particularly Teddy Graham, who has not much appreciation for how to prepare and eat food but will have a better appreciation for that when he learns about what a food system is.
Well, I have explained all that I needed to explain here. I will say, though, that it’s interesting to find days like these. How about you guys?
