So I hear lots of people are off having birthdays, getting married and the like. How's that all going for you? Last time I checked, we were a lot of 12-year-olds spouting off whatever comes to mind without any thought. That's what I did, anyway.

Since then, I tried moving on from childhood habits and went on to more "grown up" things online, which almost exclusively meant logging upward of 30,000 hours playing PC games online. I ended up getting a job that allowed purchase of more software and shenanigans, I've since realized that I've wasted several years with nothing to show for it, and pretty much abandoned my lifetime hobbies, not exclusively gaming, but any and all computer-related activity, including my planned career path of programming.

And, let me tell you, there's a really cool world outside. I've been part of more meaningful hobbies, peers, relationships, employment, and in the past year I've pretty much changed every aspect of my life. I'd just about completely forgotten about my old stomping grounds here.

Occasionally while browsing lists of online contacts i've accumulated, downsizing wherever possible, Kat's presence reminded me of that one forum I'd always go to when I was a kid. We totally met there, you know. Like ten years ago.

So that's the last four to five years since my last check-in. I've recently picked up the art of chain mail crafting, more than once I've participated in medical research studies and indirectly helped in the efforts against cancer, (a fancy way of describing how I'm being paid to be a lab rat) and I've held a relationship together for a bit over a year with the loveliest of exceptionally short ladies.

I've gathered, from my brief tour, that only Horatio and Topazia stop by lately. I'll just use my wizard powers to suggest other users swing by, too.

By the way, I'm totally a wizard, now. I forgot that part.

This means you, Toto.

I mean, *cough*. Anyone who has a problem with it, please do not bother to visit this topic. Ever again.

Oh, figured we needed this topic because HD's conversations have ended up turning into relationship discussions. As we all have been getting older, more and more of us have started dating. People can discuss this here.

Keep in mind to keep the conversation shouldn't go too far. So basically, if a 10-year-old may be WAY offended, don't talk about that. Not that HD hasn't evolved into allowing certain things that we never dared to talk about before.

I cant find the View New Posts, or equivelant D:

Mega Wolf has discovered my secret mini-letters technique! I must flee!

Anyway, hopefully I can visit more often over this next year! I hope everyone has been doing well. Things do look different... this place isn't the only one I've neglected, either.... Hopefully some people still remember me, but if not...

I'll try to visit more often...

(...I missed everyone here a lot...)

Thanks for voting.

Arkcher and doglover have the same birthday.

My theory is that they're the same person. I am not sure yet what this would imply.

it was time for a new poll.

Please vote!

Thank you.

I googled for THE original hampsterdance and on some pages you can still find copys of it.

I can remember when a friend showed me the site on the Expo 2000 in Hannover when we were trying the brand-new DSL broadband connections they provided there for free. How fast things changed- now everybody has broadband...

I'll start.

"I have defied gods and demons. I am your shield; I am your sword. I know you; your past, your future. This is the way the world ends."

This should be kinda easy. Double nerdage points if you know what the last line originated from.

1- Okay. Fine. Be that way.

5- Sweet.

10- Preeeettttty cool.

15- You chill, dude!

20- You crazy cool!

25- ZOMG YOU DOES THE RULE HD!

30- Awwwwesooooome! You pretty much rock!

35+- You must be Horatio...

Sad note: By now, my pig Juliet has probably been slaughtered. Now, for those of you who think I'm heartless to have raised a market hog in the first place, I did in fact cry, even though I did get $3.50 per lb. Weighed 209. It didn't hit me until I decided to let her run around one last time and I told people why we were running them around. Pretty much felt depressed for a couple of days, still a bit bummed out. It hit me again yesterday morning when we loaded her up on the trailer. So yeah. Just felt kinda down... But I'm not going vegetarian because of that. I am fully aware that these pigs are given better lives by not being raised on large-scale farms and rather being raised by someone like me. I loved that pig and she was raised for that. So I'm totally fine with eating meat still, I just have a better appreciation for the life it was.

Horatio is cloning himself! The world shall be overrun by modarating mac-owning blonde hamsters that wield chainsaws!!

... yeh im done. -goes off to sleep-

can i do that?

Beacuse I discovered that you can put uploaded things into your siggy! =D

What are you THINKING?!

How hard is it to upload something to this board and link to it from here?

You're hotlinking from other sites, which is fine and dandy if its your own page, but its... against common courtesy to hotlink images from other sites, not only that Its no different from posting URLs.

Theres a link to another site, which is blatantly rulebreaking of the site here.

Putting images in your signature is fine, I encourage you to make a topic for you to upload images for use in your signature, but dont take images from other sites. Its rulebreaking, in addition to being just plain rude to other sites for taking up their bandwidth.

This is an example

If you want a gradient, just tell me what you want. I can't give out links, so yeah.

Enjoy! *waves*

I dreamed about us. I was on a website when suddenly something shrp stabbed me in the back of my head. I looked and Kat was behind me, And I was like, "KAT! what in the world are you doing here" So she didnt say anything. Someone Pulled the thing out of my head. It was Horatio. The thing in my head was a Claymore.

The next thing I knew, Lennon boy here (TBFOF) and hoops were dragging me by the paws. Outside, EVERYONE was there. It was like.... fourth of Decemberween. Everyone was lighting off Fireworks. Even the Sanity accounts, Mushroom_queen, and my pet Waddle doos, boohbahs and Broomhatta were there. all my Webfreinds were there. It was so.... odd. Even the Smilys were there and that party lasted all night. X_X Then all the people who never come on left, and the poeple who always come like Horatio and hoops were stil there. Then me and TBFOF (Wheres hoops?) went to Mcdonalds, Stole the neopets toys and thensued them for making people fat. And all the other fast fod places. Then therewere only 2 fast food places in every state. w00t! then we went around the aorld in Horatios plane and kelyoudeaded The Child abusers, Sexuel harassers, and did good things for the world. Then we went back home, invited the people who never come on, and Par-tayed again. The end. I woke up satisfied.

I think its hilarious.

I had the counter in my siggy one time, but it was mysteriously being subtracted when I wasnt looking. (Hmmmm...) so its on my compy now, and when I've remembered to, i've added a counter when Horatio is on and anonymous. its up to 80 now. I'll letcha know when it gets to 100. then we party or something.

-guy dressed up in costume walks over-

-Dani stares as him, their faces an inch apart-

Me: "Are you single?"

Guy: "Who said that?"

-silence-

Nathan: "It was her!" -points to some other girl that isn't me-

----

Some guy with cymbols walks up now.

Me: "You look familar."

Guy: "What's your name?"

Me: "Sarah."

Nathan: "Noooo! Don't tell him!! He could be a serial killer! Just look at him!"

Guy: "And what school do you go to, Sarah?"

Nathan: "NOOOOO!"

Crystal: "-town name- High School."

Guy: "Then I don't know you."

I finally figured out that he looked like David Bowie off the Lybranith.

----

Now, this last one look place at the mental institution haunted house, which I didn't go to because I believe it's descrimination.

-guy with really long hair that went down past his waist walkes up to Dani and Beth-

Beth: "You look like Jesus."

Guy: "You tell people you're the son of God and see what happens."

Then they saw the guy being escourted by security outside. He wasn't supposed to be there, or a part of the show. LOL.

I think its hilarious. XD

Now, look at this!

o_o

...

Horatio is used more then Hampsterking. Heck, Horatio is used more then Hampsterdance itself!

Okay, so one was one about God. It was crazy. It was like, there was a paper. I was having a sleepover and it was like, the paper was something that EVERYONE had for no apparent reason. So the paper starts writing on itself. Some mumbo-jumbo about yeah this is God I exist. And then there was this thing where I had to cut out an "I" and then the paper would become full again and I'd have to cut out a new letter or else God would blow up the world and it spelled out "I love you God" and then God was like yeah I exist again but you'll forget all about this by tomorrow. So time goes by and the next night(dreamly speaking) a moon is out and I look towards the sky and I'm like, "Hey God, is it okay to cuss?" and He had an interesting answer. He said, "Yeah, sure you might need it for comebacks." Now, that part of the dream definitely didn't make sense. Then suddenly this alien spaceship comes along and blows up a couple of buildings and I'm like, "God, please do something!" but nothing happened, God or someone was just standing next to me looking bewildered. Umm... and then a "The End" flashed up and all of a sudden I'm in a movie theatre confused. Across the screen, it said, "That's what happens when you stop believing." or something random like that. Then it becomes DVD like, and I'm able to choose to see the next scenes, and all of a sudden theres a park and a shed. I'm back IN the "movie" in the shed that the "camera" moved into. There are stacks of newspapers in this shed, and the titles are about what had happened previously, but it was as though none of it had ever happened. I stood in this shed, trying to think if all of that was real or not, and I'm leaning bakc, talking to someone. I can't remember exactly what happened.

And here's dream two. So I'm with my boyfriend, and a few friends. I'll call each friend by different names. So my boyfriend, Mcl, and Lo(girl), and two guy friends, Th, and Ju(year older than all of us). We go to a two story book store. I'm holding hands with Mcl, and the other three are walking with us. Mcl and Lo decide to go upstairs. So I'm in 3rd person point of view currently. I can see me, Th, and Ju, and right above are Mcl and Lo. They're reading books, distracted. Th, Ju, and I are in this one section. Th is looking at a book and all of a sudden Ju and I are kissing. That was totally wrong, yo. And so that ends. Next day, in my mind, I'm like, "I have to break up with Mcl and tell him what happened." So for some odd reason Th, Mcl, and Lo are all sitting in the visitors bleachers of the high school football field. Ju and I walk over, and I say, "Mcl, Ju and I kissed yesterday at the bookstore and I think we should break up." Mcl says all chill, "Okay." And it's crazy because nobody cares and everyone is happy. That dream makes me sound like a terrible person . >.<

Why aren't we allowed to look at the Top Ten posters section, is it too dark and mysterious-er (I'm not happy with that) place to go into? Does it reveal the admins true identities (HK, HW and someone called Stewart)? Or maybe it is blocked because it reveals that he-who-shall-not-be-named-but-has-something-to-do-with-eating-and-hamsters has been the top poster, but under a secret guise?

I feel really too tired to talk too much.

My life has taken yet another stressful turn, and that's my excuse for my sudden and unintended absence. I might not post as much until I get back into the school routine.

Anyways, so I was going out with J., and pretty much I dumped him and he didn't understand why. And then I went out with him. And dumped him a second time. There were a number of reasons and he didn't understand ANY of them since I told them all at different times. And since I told him over a spread amount of time, he assumed they were lies. So for about what, three months? we were on and off arguing. More recently we haven't been arguing. I kinda figured that by NOW he should be over me. Now I'm going out with M., and have been going out with him since Tuesday. I'm perfectly happy that way, and I feel very attached to him. Then I hear all this **** about J. being jealous and wanting me back, and I don't want him back in my life ever. I'm not mad at him, just annoyed. Everyone has this image in their head of me pretending to hate him because I like him. Anywho. I'm just tired of J. liking me, sick of people trying to get J. and I back together, and I just want to be left alone with M.

What am I to do to get people to leave me alone about J.?

School is harder than I expected it to be, but maybe I'll stop by more today... and tomorrow... and over Winter Break. K?

There seem to be a lot of new people here who are somewhat clueless! Get so confused and then leave. Hopefully this topic will change that. Woohoo.

I've taken note of the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) that people ask the admins, members, Horatios or whoever else they can get hold of, And there are more topics than necessary about that than there needs to be.

So!

Im making this topic and answering your frequently asked questions.

1. Why arent my posts going up immediately?

You did not do anything wrong, you werent rejected or something, And no, we're not as lazy as you think! The admin, HampsterKing (And his admin-helper people HampsterWeb and 'stewart') have disabled the boards posts to go up immediately. This is only for your own protection.

If not, Then there would be nothing to keep any like... 30 year old peoples from contacting you privately. They could get personal information from you. That is bad. Yes.

It is also so the Moderators can filter out most offensive or profane language on the board.

Or any language at all! If you are bilingual, Then heck with that. Talk english. If you must, Then speak whatever other language needed, And either You or Horatio WILL put a translation on.

2. You mispelled 'hamster'!

We know that. If you look closely, This is not a site about hamsters specifically. This is for Hampton and the hampsters music band.

There is a P in the Hamster name, because that is what Hamptons last name is (or something like that.) And since he made a lot of the website on his own, You'd think that a hamster than can type and operate a computer independantly could have some things their way! So theres a P in their name.

3. Whats all this Sanity talking I hear from you?

Its somewhat a long story, But i'll try to keep it short...

Super_Katie, A very spiffy member who is no longer here, (For reasons not even I know about) was posting about a t-shirt she either had, saw, or bought at a mall. It read 'one by one the penguins take my sanity'. Quite a hilarious shirt. (I want one!) The moderator at the time, Sheena (I'll post about her later) commented that it was fairly hilarious, agreeing with Super_katie.

Anyway. In other topics, many minutes later, Sheena was talking about how she might be a penguin! =o

Super_katie reminded Sheena that penguins steal sanities! Ba-da-dum.

Sheena was located in... well, Somewhere in UK, england or somewhere (I dont know everything, okay?) Where penguins are not.

Super_katie persisted that Sheena is a penguin! Sheena is a BRITISH penguin! aaaaaaaahhhhh.

Penguins steal sanities! British penguins do too.

Now, Sheena has a Cool Box, which does have a fairly cool design print on its sides (Of british stuffs and penguin-age) And it refridgerates the sanities inside to preserve their spiffiness, Leaving their previous owners sanity-less.

Thus, Insane.

Its pretty much either an inside joke or running gag throughout the site here.

4. Where is Sheena?

Sheena is on a big huge long vacation 'holiday' perpetually, And will be returning... Well, We dont know when Sheena shall return.

5. So that means that my sanity is safe?

NO! It is never safe here! Sheena's helper/underlings people go around stealing sanities to fill in for Sheena. The Grim Hamster Lord (a.k.a. TGHL) is collecting sanities as we speak! or type/read. So keep yours safe!

6. What happens if my sanity gets taken?

Then you're insane.

7. ... Moving away from that subject now, I-

Yes.

8. ... Anyway, I was wondering why are Private Messages (PMs) not allowed here!?

Because then you would be able to send and receive messages from people you dont know. Again, its for your protection.

9. Why not share e-mail adresses and Instant Message names?

For your protection! How many times must i say this?

10. Do you like beans?

Yes.

11. WHY ARE YOU SO OBSESSED WITH PROTECTION?! Jeez.

Hampton and the Hampsters are a kid-based band, Therefore, They have a lot of young fans. We dont really want to get lynched by angry parents for exposing their kids to bad... things. Its HK's policy, So just live with it.

12. What about freedom of speech? I can post whatever I want to post here!

Correction- You can NOT post anything you want. By agreeing with the terms and conditions, You have agreed to post these watered-down contents. If you want to post all this stuffs- Make your own message board! Do it somewhere else!

13. Can i link my website to the boards here?

No. Again, For yours and this boards members protection.

14. This is stupid! I'm leaving.

What, the topic, or the board here?

If the topic, Then go somewhere else and post stuff. Whee.

If the boards, theeeennnnn... Bye!

15. Theres a question that isnt on here that I need answered! Aaaaaahhhhhhh

I has the solution! DO NOT post your question here. Rather, Ask me anything you want to, in that topic. Its full of spiffy.

Hope that'll clear some things up...

What is a lie? What is the truth? If everything does indeed exist somewhere, is anything untrue? If you mean to tell a lie, and mean to tell the truth at the same time, are you telling the truth, or a lie? Which is dominant? Please, answer truthfully. Horatio, please keep this topic up until I return... and answer it, too.

I couldn't capture the image like you all do. My hammie brain has had a long night!

There! The last few topics I saw were VERY quiet so I'll make this a loud one!

anyone else who for somereason is eluding my memory... !

Great to be back!

I've been meaning to do this for months. Here I am. I'm not dead. In case anyone noticed. Or wondered. Or cared. Frankly, I don't think I could blame you if you didn't.

I've been meaning to do this for months. To come back. I stayed away too long, and it becomes so easy to never return, to keep procrastinating returning. I do it to suffer; because I love you guys. Wrong of me, I know.

Probably no one remembers me fondly, but oh well. Short of forbidding my coming here, there's little you can do to keep me away permanently. Home away from home, so to speak. I know. Depressing. <with ghost of grin></ghost of grin>

In truth I never really left. Or maybe it's that I did, but in truth I took all of you with me. All of you. Possibly even you. Definately you if I knew you; if I knew your name.

I figured you'd be mad; that's okay. I'm used to it.

My fondest hellos to all. Suirue (Kaise) is still pondering.

I'm the only one foolish enough to return.

Lots of love. When I'm well (Yes, sick again!), I'll return with a vengeance. Please someone tell me what's going on, and what's been going on. Unless you hate me, of course.

Don't feel obligated to do anything for me, why should you? What have I done for you? Nothing.

As Sheena used to say... "Happy Hampstering!"

With or without me; your happiness is all that matters.

Please do not post here, post in Jack's topic in the Warm Wishes forum. Thanks!
