Cynthia

I apologize for the necropost, but I figured this didn't need a new topic. Costume is in the making, so I thought I'd use this topic to show some of the development pictures I receive as it's being made. The skirt was laid out pretty well just yesterday: More pictures to come, and perhaps some of me wearing the finished product.

Would you happen to be able to make a quick step by step on how to use it so I can add it to the topic list. I sort of want this to be able to help people as much as possible so that they can just refer to this in the future.

Ah yes, I forgot there was a fire-fox add-on for this, would you happen to be able to give the name of it?

This could get confusing quite quickly actually...

That can be done, the only downside is that sound quality can be lowered in some instances, plus if it's a REALLY long song it takes a lot longer to do. However I think I should add that to the list of ways to achieve this.

Valid point ZXValaRevan.

That was actually incredibly strange to think about...

This is true, however I was stating it'd be wiser and preferred if he read the entire thing before making a statement.

I do try to open up and have a sense of humor online, but I'm just not funny when I try, and people stop taking me seriously if I do it because my humor is rather poor...

No, not at all. Anyway, I made a guide to taking songs from youtube: http://serenesforest.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=9658

Point out where I said "No one," likes me? I never said that. I merely said some people do not like me, but I'm certainly not upset with them, if you read the entire thing. I don't expect everyone to like me, so it's safe to assume there are people who don't like me. Secondly, read the edit at the bottom, which states don't post if you didn't read it.

This is how I do it, as I see a couple of people these days that want them now. And I get PMs sometimes from people asking to rip a song for them. Step 1. Get the URL of the youtube video. Step 2. Go to Keepvid.com and paste the URL in the bar that it shows. You will be taken to a download screen, simply right click on the FLV format and click save target as, and save it as *insertsongnamehere*.flv, make SURE you save it as .flv. Step 3. Download "WinFF," which is a video and audio converter, you can probably find it on Google. Step 4. Open WinFF and add the .flv to the convert list, and under file type, select MP3 (audio only.) change the path to where you want the song to go when your done, and hit convert. If done correctly you'll have all the audio from the video, but if your video has other sounds in it, then you can just take it into movie maker or some other software and trim out what you don't want, and convert it back to MP3 again. I hope this helps a lot of people who have this issue. Secondary method as suggested by Princess Kilvas: Use MP3myMp3 (Google it I suppose?) to record the audio of the video.

I think I should make a topic about this, and how I do it, hang on.

Well remember, "assuming makes an ass of you and me." To each his own though.

At how many people took my personal opinions towards Lyle's decision as a personal attack. Really, though me and Lyle aren't sworn enemies, and I don't go around looking for posts of his to disagree with and debate on. Same goes for anyone else, I don't hold grudges. You can be in the heat of a debate one minute and talk to me elsewhere the next and things will be as if it never happened. Hell me and Lyle were talking like normal two minutes after. Too many people take things to a personal level, and see any kind of disagreement as if it's some kind of attack on someone. It's not though. I can't tell ANYONE how to run their lives, I can however disagree with something they do and then state why. I think some people out there use these kinds of disagreements to lash out at people they don't like. Lyle and I BOTH think that some people just wanted an excuse to lash out at people you don't like, which is pointless. I said it a MILLION times. I am not going to hate you over a disagreement, or several disagreements. I don't hold grudges, so why people have this impression that I'm "out to get someone," is beyond me. The problem isn't my posts always being serious or having my opinion stated, the problem is people over react to them, and point the finger at me or someone else, or whoever. You're ALL entitled to your opinions, just because I state mine doesn't mean I expect you to follow it. It's just my two cents. This topic isn't about me in general though, it's mostly about how people jump the gun. If you don't like someone's opinion, you DO have the option to NOT RESPOND TO IT. When you respond you accept that you can get a response back. If you don't respond, chances are you won't get a follow up, at least not from me you won't. If no one responds, I say nothing. Also this idea that I never hold my tongue isn't true, as I have SEVERAL opinions I keep to myself, because they aren't relevant to any conversation. I only state something if the subject is brought up as should the rest of us. The point is that I mean no harm, and people need to stop assuming things. I ask all of you, how well do any of you know me? I know a good deal about a lot of you through speaking, but none of you really know anything about me. Lyle, I know where you live, how old you are, what you do for fun, what your views on life, politics and other things are. MaSu, I know you love your little sister, and what kind of place you're growing up in, and your philosophy on the opposite sex and other things. ZXValaRevan, I even know your first name, and I was one of the first few people on Serenes Forest besides members from FEU to realize that you were a guy. The point is I know a LOT of you pretty well, so I have somewhat of an understanding of how you think about stuff. The question is, what do all of you really know about me? Do any of you know what I look like? What my favorite food is? What my favorite anime is? Hell no one here even knows my REAL gender except Bizz. So I ask, if your going to make statements about my life, or assume things about it, how's about you know a little first? I know Lyle pretty well, so I formulate an opinion based on what I know, and I say nothing about what I do not. If it's an opinion on what someone says, then I don't need to know you to know what you said, and what I think about it. If you WANT to judge me, judge what I say, because it's the only thing you have to go on. I saw a lot of posts along the lines of, "Oh you are a killjoy," or, "perhaps you're of a bad upbringing..." These aren't the exact words, but they were along those lines, but you get the point. I even got some nasty PMs from SEVERAL members stating that I was brought up by bad people, and thus I am a bad person. Some of them said that I like hurting people because people hurt me in my past. No one knows about my past. I honestly love everyone that speaks to me, even if I don't always agree, even if I sometimes come off as I am intentionally trying to argue with you, because I'm not. I love all of you, and no matter how many times I disagree with you, I shall never hold a grudge on you. I don't think ANYONE is capable of doing anything serious enough to do that. I value my values and morals MORE than popularity. I don't care if something I say makes me have a lowered popularity, if I believe it needs to be said, it shall. You all are friends, even those of you who probably hate my guts, and existence. I love all of you, and no matter how much you think you've angered me, you really haven't. Holding grudges gets no one anywhere, and just makes future disagreements much more irrelevant. Go ahead disagree with me, I will NOT make it a mission to personally attack you. However I hope that at the same time you will not personally attack me. Love is the key to a community, and part of that love is knowing that you can disagree and still be there for each other. I love this community, I love the members, I don't always love their ideas. I'm human like the rest of us, and although I seem like an android to some people, I do enjoy jokes, and I admit I do need to work on being able to joke around a little more, but it's not like I don't catch what's a joke and what isn't. I don't take things SO literal. I mean if someone makes a topic like, "this topic is lulz." and I post saying it's pointless, it doesn't mean I didn't get the joke, it just means I didn't find it funny, and at the same time the topic doesn't need to be there. I hope a lot of this clarifies some of the things that people have seen. Edit: Just in case I see some, "tl;dr" comments, please don't post if you're not going to read...

We can disagree on something even in such a manner as displayed here, and still be fine as friends. Which is a sign that no one is flaming, or holding grudges, or anything. That's the true value of friendship. Being able to disagree without it being a personal attack.

Cynthia (9:26:51 PM): Hello. Lyle (9:26:58 PM): Hey Cynthia (9:27:04 PM): How's it going? Lyle (9:27:13 PM): Fine Lyle (9:27:14 PM): Lol Cynthia (9:27:22 PM): I see. Cynthia (9:27:26 PM): That's good I suppose. Cynthia (9:27:34 PM): What you been up to today? Lyle (9:27:58 PM): I find it kinda cool that we can argue with eachother and two minutes later we can be talking like normal friends Lyle (9:28:03 PM): With no grudges Proof enough for you?

It's kind of funny people are assuming I am angry, and over reacting, and that I'm giving a personal attack to Lyle, and yet we can talk on AIM minutes later and not even discuss this, or care...

Myspace isn't the only place where pedophiles exist you know?

Now wait just a minute. What exactly do you know about my life? Nothing, I think that is irrelevant, and you shouldn't walk into that territory, as you have no knowledge of that area. Let's keep insults aside. Secondly, I most certainly do not think I am perfect, and that it's my job to point out others flaws. I know my flaws, I just don't make them public, because my flaws are known by me, I don't need people to pity me for them. You made a public thread and I noticed something that previously caused a problem in the forest, and thus I spoke up. There are so many other things I could poke at here, if I was truly out to point out all your flaws. If I was doing that, I'd sit here and point out all the spelling mistakes in your post, now wouldn't I? I am not, "over reacting," this is how I ALWAYS respond.

I fail to see the argument here. As you have my standings wrong. I NEVER said you had to listen to me. Ever. If you make a PUBLIC topic, you can expect a public response. I didn't say to eliminate all spam, I said to eliminate useless topics, and topics of bad nature or influence. This topic was created on the idea of praising a new couple, which I believe falls under attention whoring. I don't care if you make topics that have random sentence after random sentence, what I care is when you make topics about attention whoring or that have no discussion value. I'm talking about, "lol," "XD," and quote posts, things of those nature. Knife is a Royal and can close his own topics, so I don't see your point in that statement either... Lyle contributed just as much as Knife did, as he could have asked to have the topic closed, but he did no such thing. Knife is just as guilty, but that doesn't mean Lyle is 100% innocent. My opinion was stated because I believed it was best to state what I believe was best for the entire site, based on what happened last time, then I backed up why I believed that. Also I stated that there is the possibility you both are not who you say you are, and thus I'm informing you of the risks of online relationships, as no one else did, so I thought it was important to bring up.

Or you could not respond to my post? If you make a public topic, you open yourself to public criticism.

So wait, all of us people out there that are tired of pointless topics, attention whoring, are supposed to just step aside just because the majority wants to act random and make posts that have little to no value, and attention whore their ways to popularity? With that logic we may as well kept segregation legal, because black people weren't the majority.

If people don't like me for what I am, I don't plan on changing for them. Sorry.

So wait a minute Gatrie... I'm supposed to go against my morals and values, and not state my opinion, when I make a point of saying that we're all entitled to an opinion, to make sure people like me? I'm supposed to go out of my way to be popular?
