Huh. Bit of an odd one... is anyone actually campaigning to remove "mentions of God" from currency, etc? Because if not, that seems like it might be a priming question...

Yeah, there were a lot of questions in the test about matters it didn't seem like anyone is really talking/caring about ("should employers be able to deny customers based on religious beliefs", "should a photo ID be required to vote"), but I guess the inclusion of such questions makes the test all the more thorough and accurate.

If you wanna find a good test, this one will give you a rough estimate of where you are on the political scale.

https://www.politicalcompass.org/test

Idk if I take it too seriously myself, but the results should be interesting. It labeled me as a libertarian left.

In that vein, https://www.isidewith.com/ tells you which politicians supposedly share your views. I guess it's supposed to help people who don't know who to vote for. I took it a while ago, but I remember got Bernie Sanders as my number 1, followed by Hillary. For what specifically I can't really recall.

Sorta reminded me of this:

http://htwins.net/scale2/

"The Scale of the Universe". It's interactive, and isn't limited to celestial bodies. It basically takes the smallest thing in our universe and the largest thing, and then fills in the blanks between. Definitely worth a check out.

My reasons:

1. Warrior cats

2. Trolls

3. Warrior cats

My two reasons for not being so active on CYs:

1. Seriously limited time online recently so I spend it on here where my active games and RP are happening.
2. Cys has... Devolved somewhat recent and 99% of the stuff in the forums there does not interest me so trawling through it to find the stuff that does is too much work.

You guys bring up valid points. The main problem imo with CYS is the immaturity, as a significant quantity of the userbase are fairly young, and I feel like that's really degraded CYS because it's led to a lot of puerile content being posted as opposed to actual discussion on meaningful things.

However thanks to 3J's complete purge of WC, the fans have flocked to other forums / sites now in droves and I don't seem them everywhere like I used to. I think, in time, they're all eventually going to go away and this site can be finally ridden of its disease which as plauged it for so long. And all thanks to Hero 3J!

And yeah trolls are still kind of an issue, but thanks to the mods keeping close vigil on the site, most trolls that emerge post-3J's New Guidelines are simply banned quickly from what I've seen.

come back guys

Hey there!  Welcome to where all the cool kids hang out.   

Yay, I'm a cool kid!  Nice to see you around IAP!

Welcome! I think you'll find that this forum is much better at being a forum than CYS. I don't think there's anyone active here who isn't also from CYS, though. XD

Yes, I've noticed that. They're not very active on CYS though. And the forums here are pretty interesting.

Was Twine not enough, Morgan? Why must you continue to tear out CYS's heart like this - the community that took you inn when you were cold and hungry, and gave you enough shit to do to occupy an entire shift at work!

Twine is cool yo. I use it to write my games as I prefer their layout over CYS. I just wish there was a spellchecker implemented into the engine, though

Dig the profile pic. Very classy. 

Thank you! It's a drawing of one of the many portraits of Eminem (the rapper). You see this all goes back to when I used to listen to the Slim Shady LP when I was a lot younger (when I probably shouldn't have been ), and now I use his face(s) as avatars for a lot of my profiles (for example, CYS). I should also clarify, I found them, didn't draw them.

Plus, that entire picture -- the expression, the tie, -- it's all just pure gold haha.

Hey everyone I'm Fazz. You might recognize me as that guy from CYS. So, what's up?

This site seem kind of confusing so far, what with all the many buttons.

I guess I should add, 'salaam' is slang for 'hello' in Urdu. I was scrolling through and saw everyone was saying hello or hi, so I was trying to be different.
