It was less me taking it out of context and me misunderstanding you as saying that the topic degenerated from what it used to be (which I think is totally true)
But see, the shoutbox is exactly the kind of thing designed for these kind of banal little ramblings! You write down your thoughts without having to clutter the boards with a post! And it really only gets glitchy once in a while, in which case Pohatu fixes it, so I'm chill with the shoutbox and would be sad to see it go.
I believe the Scrap Heap originated as the successor to Pokeschool's Polls and Games or something like that? You know, the board we all played minor little games in? If it went back to that, I don't think I'd mind a whole deal, I just don't want to come to the Exodus and click 30 most recent only to find Fleet and Blood rambling on about their day. In fact, if you can find a way so that the Scrap Heap doesn't show up on Most Recent, I think that would be the best solution.

All I'm going to say is that I, too, have defended the shoutbox when Lee's spoken of his desire to axe it. I like a system whereby you can post something of no substance or consequence, it's there for a few hours or even a few days for other people to see, and then it's gone with the next tide. That seems preferable rather than an ever-increasing landfill of unreadable posts.

I have long preached that Count to a Million should have some substance to its posts. That was why I first started putting in all the 'fun facts' about the numbers when I posted. If Count were like that in every post, man, I'd read every inch of the thread. There's so much wasted potential in the Heap, I think. I'm fine with it being pointless, but it shouldn't be mindless. If people would put some thought, just a little, into their posts, maybe it wouldn't be such a Heap after all.
To be blunt -- if I want to read a bunch of mindless spam, I'll check my e-mail.
Keep the Exodus substantialicious! Biscuit 2012!!!

It's sort of like The Prestige, only with more Bowie. That's the best way to explain it.

I'm not really in the mood for debating. Actually I almost never am. I'm just not very argumentative. So I'll try to make a "readable and interesting" post as to my current status in life.
I am, at present, wondering why almost every topic in the Exodus ends up with at least one debate in it somewhere. Also I'm thinking about how I was given the official word on being Salutatorian for my graduating class, and the speech I have to write. But mostly how awesome it is that I got 2nd in my class when I'm a year younger than everyone else because I skipped third grade. I wonder if the people who got pushed down a spot because of me are upset because I'm not "supposed to be in this grade". Haha too bad for them.
I'm also thinking about the track meet I just got home from. Our school's annual invitational, 20 different schools. Some from as far as eight hours away showed up. I ran the 1500 meters and I know nobody here really cares because I bet I'm the only one who does track. The 1500 is the girl's slightly-shorter-than-the-mile race.
And, let's see. Currently I'm enjoying a Tim Horton's coffee and chocolate chip muffin. How phenomenally interesting, yes. Totally. And I obtain another year of age on the anniversary of my birth in one week. Yup. That's my currently. Minus all the really boring stuff- oh wait, never mind. Yep. Thrilling.

Well... Currently I'm wondering on what will happen regarding my missed exam...
I had two classes by the same professor who had all of the assignments lined up (ch3 test for one is the same day as ch3 test for the other, etc). Went to take the final yesterday and it turns out that for one of them, the exam was due a week ago...

Currently I'm reminding you all that there is always a 6 or an 8 (or both). I am doing this while sitting.
I am also advising SHADOWMASTER89 to go to bed.

I may just go to bed, thank you, currently Blood and I are attempting to get the Scrap Heap moving again.

Currently, we are moving the Scrap Heap. We should do so always.

Currently I am using "Currently?" as a chatting device, as well as a device to solicit posts in the Scrap RP.

Currently I am letting Lee know that SM89 would dearly love him to post in the RP (I'm sure he'd appreciate Fallfish2 almost as much as I would)

Currently, I'm wondering why in the world anyone thought me taking over Prime's characters in the Whisper in my Ear RP is a good idea, because after reading through it, I think it's a terrible idea. I'm also considering going to bed soon.
