Cal: It is true, the truth of jive is hep.
July 29, 2010, 08:20:57 AM
boomerangmouth, M.D.: Along with the truth of suffering, the truth of suffering's origin and the truth of the hand-jive
July 29, 2010, 07:43:03 AM
boomerangmouth, M.D.: Taping is one of the four noble truths!
July 28, 2010, 03:05:01 AM
Morrigan: or tapping. <_< Whichever.
July 20, 2010, 04:41:37 PM
Morrigan: Same as Cal. I literally go nuts without my status bar. I start twitching and taping things.
July 20, 2010, 04:34:37 PM
Draegon: lol. Yeah when my sister said it I thought it was a bit extreme.
July 20, 2010, 04:07:49 PM
Cal: The unkind say she got the stick out of her ass.
July 20, 2010, 03:58:18 PM
skeiler: What happened in 2003 to end that?
July 20, 2010, 12:01:37 PM
Mad Mabley: I remember that! I wrote on one of the approved ones for awhile - just wow. Weirdness.
July 20, 2010, 10:27:57 AM
Cal: Also the entire reasoning behind "OMG ANNE MUST APPROVE OF OUR RP!!!111" is incredibly creepy. XD
July 20, 2010, 08:47:52 AM
Cal: There was a point between 1997 and 2003 or so when she disallowed new MU*s, but that was because of misstated licensing agreement; the property owners have always allowed PBEM and PBP Pern games.
July 20, 2010, 08:47:11 AM
Draegon: Ok. Only repeating what my know-it-all big sister said XD She doesn't know anything hehe
July 20, 2010, 06:51:02 AM
Cal: It has in fact never been true, and I'm speaking as someone who ran Pern MU*s fifteen years ago. XD
July 20, 2010, 06:25:55 AM
Cal: That's not true.
July 20, 2010, 06:25:25 AM
Draegon: You do know that Anne McCaffrey insists on Dragon of Pern fan RPGS be done through email only?
July 20, 2010, 12:40:06 AM
skeiler: I lack all bookmark organization because I would probably go mad if I tried. XD;
July 19, 2010, 03:01:13 PM
Cal: I go nuts without my status bars. XD
July 18, 2010, 01:23:39 PM
Hazy: yusssssss. neat and tidy and minimal XD
July 18, 2010, 03:52:19 AM
boomerangmouth, M.D.: I don't like status bars, or menu bars >_> I've basically got the back/refresh button, some favicons, the address tube and the tab bar. No wasted space!!
July 17, 2010, 06:22:34 AM
* eemp has FF, and organized bookmarks. :|
July 16, 2010, 08:32:17 PM
Morrigan: Yeah I have to have the full blown status bar. I need the loading progress, the errors indicator, the URL mouseover... All of it.
July 16, 2010, 08:23:05 PM
Hazy: Chrome has a status bar. Sorta. =P
July 16, 2010, 06:44:59 PM
Zayzie: you're only a noob if you have add-ons and never use them
July 16, 2010, 06:27:24 PM
meej: At the risk of being total noob: ... I don't have any add-ons.
July 16, 2010, 06:06:49 PM
Morrigan: There are simple things that Chrome strips that I can't live without, namely the status bar.
July 16, 2010, 03:33:31 PM
Hazy: bahahaha I never got into the add-ons much when I was a user of FF. they were easy to leave behind
July 15, 2010, 04:37:50 PM
Cal: I have too many indispensible addons to be able to swtich.
July 15, 2010, 04:33:06 PM
Hazy: (i prefer chrome for thatr reason. it's just les....bulky looking than FF)
July 15, 2010, 04:31:37 PM
Hazy: yeeep. neat and spartan and less is more XD
July 15, 2010, 04:31:22 PM
Cal: Precisely!
July 15, 2010, 04:30:24 PM
Hazy: I just don't bookmark. Ever. Easier to just remember the names of places than it is to go sorting through folders and links to find the one I'm looking for
July 15, 2010, 04:21:59 PM
boomerangmouth, M.D.: I never remove bookmarks, it's probably not good for the browser but I just use keywords and the address bar to find stuff. Menus suck!!
July 15, 2010, 03:06:35 PM
Morrigan: Haha. I don't go through my stuff for months. I don't think I've sorted anything on my computer for about 9 months now. I think my goal is a year this time.
July 15, 2010, 02:59:47 PM
Cal: I am seriously anal-retentive about my binary environs. My bookmarks are extremely spartan, because I just type everything in; mostly this is due to having grown up on Lynx.
July 15, 2010, 06:43:16 AM
Morrigan: I really should just dump it and start over but I'm a pack rat until I have to re-do.
July 15, 2010, 02:23:32 AM
Morrigan: haha. Even if I sort it I never find it. <_< I have so much stuff it's insane.
July 15, 2010, 02:23:13 AM
Zayzie: If I ever want to find anything again I usually get off my lazy arse and sort it. That and my dad is OCD so it rubs off on me sometimes lol
July 15, 2010, 01:47:45 AM
Draegon: Eek. I hate sorting mine.I usually just decide against it. XD
July 15, 2010, 12:37:48 AM
Morrigan: I have a good 90 links in my quick links bar. <_<
July 15, 2010, 12:36:02 AM
Morrigan: Hehe.... yeah. Same for FF but I throw a lot of sites into my bar... I sort of forgot about that.
July 15, 2010, 12:35:46 AM
Draegon: I like Safari. You've got the usual bookmarks menu but then you also have a bookmark bar. Both can have folders.
July 15, 2010, 12:30:19 AM
Morrigan: 15 folders, 80 misc links that have no home.
July 14, 2010, 11:42:53 PM
Zayzie: 20 folders and 15 links scattered about randomly, was what they were last night >_> does yours beat that?
July 14, 2010, 10:10:09 PM
Morrigan: O_O You've never seen my bookmarks before have you?
July 14, 2010, 10:03:20 PM
Zayzie: yeah I reorganized all of mine last night lol
July 14, 2010, 04:06:26 PM
Cal: That's what bookmarks are for!
July 14, 2010, 01:31:28 PM
Morrigan: I'm terrible about remembering the URL of this site.
July 12, 2010, 11:04:33 PM
boomerangmouth, M.D.: omg

Welcome

Hello and welcome to Seiryuu dot Org!

Seiryuu is an RPG resource, directory and discussion forum. Users and administrators of all stripes are welcome, but our particular focus is on experienced roleplayers and on the joys and challenges of self-hosting.

What does Seiryuu offer you?

A sensible and friendly administration with a combined forty years of experience owning and operating RPGs, online and off.
On-tap advice from seasoned art and web development professionals.
A searchable, taggable RPG directory. It's never been easier to find just the game you're looking for, or to get your ad seen by the right players.
A random advertisement spotlight: the more people browse, the more likely they are to see your ad.
Thoughtful discussion of everything from the nitty-gritty to the ephemera of running and playing on RPGs (as well as video games, television, food and cats).
A gallery for your art and graphics, RPG-related or otherwise.
An arcade that will dramatically decrease your productivity at work.

Our goal at Seiryuu is to foster an open, supportive community, get good ideas and sound advice to the people who need and want them, improve the online roleplaying experience for everyone -- and have fun!

(Sorry about your work productivity. We warned you.)

Things Still to Come | 01 Apr 10

I'm still working on the following things:

1) A new intro for the front page that's more appropriate to the mission statement
2) Front-page affiliates listing
3) Guidelines for Character Construction and Structural Support forums
4) And something I'm really excited about: a random spotlight in the sidebar with a button and ad link for advertisers with X number of posts (what sounds good, 50?), but viewable by everyone.

Anyone have any other suggestions?

Upcoming Changes | 17 Mar 10

Seiryuu is undergoing some restructuring in order to fill a niche as the premier RPG resource run by and for grown-ups, with a focus on self-hosted forum RPGs, though of course all administrators and users are welcome.

Aside from our normal community resources such as the chat and arcade, we will also provide a place for user graphics portfolios, a randomized spotlight button for users with 50 or more posts, and thought provoking discussion on the basics of web design for forums, and code tutorials to make your RP shine.

If you have suggestions for things you'd like to see in an RPG resource, please reply here! Now is a great time to get in on the ground floor....
