not to go the aquarium anymore. i keep getting the same items over and over again. screeeeew that. another set of useless items really, they're now up there with all the trailer items you get from advertisements and noobs are submitting arena submissions thinking the aquatic theme wasn't something thought of before even though THE ADMINS THOUGHT OF IT BEFORE IMPLEMENTING IT!

arenas have died, the million and a half cosplays killed it for me, it was meant to show off artwork. cosplay is mimickry. granted those arena winners that immitated a turnip and a hot dog were amazingly funny and original while copying, at least it wasn't from a comic book or tv show. and it's less impressive when the site brings up items that purposely mimick certain characters. like i saw a Solid Snake submission. wow, how original of them to use the black ops gear. IMO cosplays only work if you use items that don't immidiatly remind people of the character they're from. I've seen good cosplays i happily gave 10's to, and 5 stars, but so many of them suck now, very rarily do i see good ones. I saw on of velma that was really good because of how generic the character's equipment was and how well it looked like her. immitating Goku from the hair MC's gave you and the aura doesn't impress me. and neither do the million and a half Link submissions.

jesus christ!...submit your avis and bring an arena judgement day.

and those damn "i didn't submit for points, just for the message of think before you comment because it hurts peoples feelings." admins have that little feature called disable comments for a reason. and if my criticism is too tough, you obviously don't have winning material if everyone feels like pointing out how something is nooby gear or why cluttering every damn animal onto you looks like crap. don't even get me started on the "my avi" submissions.

the five star rating has become inflated because of peoples need to be super kind about it. it's the attitude that makes simon cowell look like a jackass when honesty is crucial for a judge, it's the attitude that inflated the 5th star rating. now everyone who votes 4 or lower (or before 8/10 or lower) has to silently click it for less gold since someone will comment their page "what's your ******** problem? you have no life to tell me how bad my avatar looks" when that's why it's called the arena, you know, where the romans fought to the death, not where the romans hugged eachother to the death. if you can't handle my criticism too ******** bad.

there's a fine line between me saying "ur avi's gay" and "that combo is over-used and your colors don't blend well together" but instead of recognizing the difference, the arena submitters would rather label both types of critics as jackasses.

i went from aquarium to arenas. what shall i post next? lol
