Housepets!

Come one come all, to the most narcissistic chat thread in Housepets history!

With almost half of all of the votes, the winning name that YOU all chose for this thread was: Chat Thread 42: JeffCvt is Best Mod

1.) Follow the Forum Rules
2.) The Chat Thread thread can cover any topic allowed on this forum, but do not allow things with existing threads to take over the thread. This includes role playing.
3.) The Chat Thread isn't the IRC; it's still in the forum format. Don't make posts that consist entirely of greetings, goodbyes, or acknowledgement of how people aren't posting at the moment.

Have fun talking about nothing but me.

Jeff forgot to mention that there's also now a ten cent fee for every time you post in this thread.
What?
The mods' new swimming pool and spa isn't going to pay for itself!

There is a fee now? Fine..... *pulls out $10* This should cover me for a while.

JeffCvt wrote:Have fun talking about nothing but me.

Umm... Jeff. The only thing I know about him is that he is the best mod. (Hlaoroo is still the cutest mod though...)

Did this name really win without you spamming false votes?

And do I still pay the fee if I do that?

No offense, but how did this chat title happen? A lot of people had pledged their votes for The Answer To Life, The Universe and Everything. Was the poll limited to only the Forumites?

Hey, you have no proof that I spammed false votes because 1: I managed the poll and everything about it and 2: I deleted it because it took up space on my Google Drive storage and not because I wanted to erase all proof that I actually didn't win.

No offense, but how did this chat title happen? A lot of people had pledged their votes for The Answer To Life, The Universe and Everything. Was the poll limited to only the Forumites?

I call for a repoll - this time on the forum so that we can be sure that nobody votes more than once.

Taxation without representation!

I'll shut up if I can use the hot tub, though.

this title won because it didn't. Bad Jeff. *smacks*

Okay, fine. The actual winning name was Chat Thread 42: The Answer To Life, The Universe and Everything. It had 42% of the votes while I don't think anything else even had double digits.

As a note: This was all a joke and I DID let the other mods know I would be doing it and that I would change it to the real name before I went to bed tonight.

As another note: There is a character limit for thread names and it seems that Chat Thread 42: The Answer To Life, The Universe and Everything exceeds it by 3 letters. That's just how it is and it's not me messing with you guys.

I can understand that. Don't you just hate it when you run out of space for your title?

Ugh. When that happens I would start obliterating punctuation, then spaces, then realise that I need another title ;(

So madness begins... again

So what should we talk about?

Well... the pope just came to my country. I think that's pretty cool and all.

Chat threads don't really have set topics. Just say whatever and people will either reply or move on.

Take an even strain - the staff isn't corrupt and I'm sure the admins would object most strongly to anything that appeared to be a mod popularity contest. On a side note, perhaps gentle inquiry is preferable to serial implications aired publicly.

I saw that on the BBC. Congratulations!

Happy Modday Render (I love your accent so much; it is my favorite on the HP forum) (Hlaoroo is still the cutest mod)

Heh, thanks, Serge. But that's definitely debatable.

I finally caught my night time intruder! Here's his mug shot! (And yes, I did release him outside after the picture. Sorry for the terrible quality. I took this on my phone.

I remember your Ice Bucket Challenge video. No much debate with me.

Congrats on catching your intruder (If you released him, aren't you worried he will try to come back?)

Heh, well, thanks for the vote of confidence.

I'm pretty sure he won't come back. He's a bat, if you can't tell from the photo. He'll be much happier catching bugs in the trees outside.

Ooooh my gosh it's soooo cuuute!! But I thought bats would be a lot... bigger than that.

Some are, depending on the species. Flying foxes, for example.
I couldn't tell you exactly what species of bat we have in Tasmania but I can tell you that rather than having those big bats, our bats are all known as "microbats" for obvious reasons. That little guy is fully grown.

YAY! WELCOME TO Chat Thread 42: The Answer To Life, The Universe and Everyth!

Maybe if it was "Chat Thread 42: The Answer To Life The Universe & Everything" it would fit? Just a suggestion.

Do I still have to pay the fee now?

What you mean is a flying fox... XD

I didn't actually mean that big but... wow.

Thank you very much!

And thanks to the great Hukley for this.

*coughs*

Everyone else gets the interesting home invaders... We here in Hipsterland just get rats. Lots of rats.

There's been a rat scratching something in the wall of my room for the past week and a half now. It's about as irritating as it gets.

And Happy Modday, Render! (I've never heard your accent though and now I kinda want to)

Help, it is snowing here! I don't want to go home.... (I really like being at school).

Well. I did the Ice Bucket Challenge in Summer... You'll find the post for it here.

I wish it would snow here. But unfortunately that doesn't seem very likely this season.

I do hate that. Just like how I hate it when I run out of space for my senten

Oh no! What was it that you were about to say!? Its a mystery! xD

Welcome to the new topic. Justice is done about its title, in the democratic way. Now is time to blame the forum system limitations...

Obligatory post so I can keep up with the randomness X3 *shot*

One word: Twitter. :3

ya know what? I actually have become quite skilled in twitter posting I think.

Removed six letteres, put one back. Still kind of works, I think. But what we have is good.

You know, if you want to be more exact, the quote that we're referencing is this:

Douglas Adams wrote:The Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything

But that's too long to fit.

I still say Chat Thread 42: The Answer To Life The Universe & Everything works well.

I just found out a few days ago that I had a twitter. I apparently made it in 2012, and didn't know about it. The only post on it was some hacker who posted a virus link. I have started to use it a lot since I found out I had one. To think I once thought Twitter was sort of stupid for the post limitations. I love it now.
