C&C - Cards [9/14 - 9/18]

[snotpox]

This has got to be the first gated community that I've been able to tunnel into. Maybe that's why it took two or so months before I was actually able to become a member...Snotty's bringing down the man...one step at a time

First Toonzone, then, uh...A SANDWICH!!!

I thought the Goz tribute was well done, but then again, I expected it to be. Good episode choice as well. Sealab won't be the same without the Goz. We'll miss ya bud *Snotty pours a little alcoholic beverage on the curb*...and drinks the rest

 

[Mek]

Hmmm, if TZ is a gated community, then I must live in one of the townhomes.

 

[Yousorrymon]

The rent is nothing more...

THAN YOUR RAW SUCCULENT BRAINS!!

Can we change the rent? I often use my brain and it be nice to have it around.

 

[Chrono1995]

The Harry Goz tribute was well done. Does anyone know what the AS News segment said? My damn cable company dared to cut it off to local commercials. They will pay dearly.

It was also fitting they played "All That Jazz." That episode has some of the best voice acting and writing in the entire series. I especially love the WS characters running amuck at the end.

I'm very proud to be part of the gated community. And if the AS.com boards are an accurate representation of the minds of America, then I'm moving to Canada. Then again, they're young - they don't know any better.

 

[Beat]

As.com is more like a slum.

 

[Tienshin]

I wonder if now because of that card mentioning TZ if a whole bunch of people from the ASMB and AS.com are going to begin to appear. And then every one will have to double the amount of threads displayed on the front page, just to sift through all the drek, "I love (blank) if you do too come here" type nonsense.

Uh oh...that would be the gated community mentality poking through on my part. Shame on me. Wait...shame on AS they called us snobs! (I think)

Well I am off for a spot of tea, a match of tennis, perhaps hit a few balls on the back nine, and then a six martini dinner. Cheers!

*walks off in pressed khaki shorts, tucked in blue polo shirt, sweater draped around neck, and impeccable square jaw looking down on everyone*

 

[sl4]

I think they meant the message boards on Adultswim.com.

No, because otherwise they wouldn't have listed ASMB and AdultSwim.com as two seperate places. ¬¬‘

 

[Artimus Gigan]

If we're a gated community, then that means we control what happens. For you see people who live in gated communities often have ties to political figures(in this case network exces) so technecly speaking we actualy control the flow of CN/Adultswim....meaning their jobs depend on who we like and who we don't...

 

[MJC]

*feels important*

 

[Joe Mama]

Here I thought they only viewed the official AS. message boards.... So they can hear what we say.. If this gets mentioned on the cards, I'll faint or fall asleep, which ever comes first.

 

[SSJPabs]

Remember the policy on edits that was recently instituted? That's why.

Now that I think of it, I had a minor confusion with John Miles about this. He said "AS Message Board" and myself and a few others thought he meant Adult Swim but he ment something else.

SO.

ASMB - site and board that has lots of vitriol on it (youngsters)
Toonzone - site that has lots of high-minded discussion (gated community)
AdultSwim.com - site that is the reason for those other two sites (America)

 

[Conekiller]

what was the harry Goz tributre like, was it jsut his name and years he lived thru? did they bother to mention that he was Murphy, so the non-fanboys out there knew who it was they were saluting?

 

[SSJPabs]

Yup, they had a whole lineup of cards saying who he was, what he had done and what he meant to them.

I missed half of it, becaue I had gotten up to grab something and by the time I returned they were almost done, but I'm sure whoever is doing the cards this week will have them.

 

[DarkPoet89]

Cool, a new banner! Very nicely done! I'm so proud to be a member of Toonzone!

Oh, and I loved the tribute card to Harry Goz. I found it very sweet. Rest in peace, Captain.

Re: "Gated Community"

So that was either a compliment, or they were busting on us.

I've met in person a number of the staff at CN and have been told that they do appreciate Toon Zone, and a few of them told me they do read the forums fairly regularly.

And while I was thrilled to see TZ mentioned on AS, I just didn't see their review of us as a "gated community" as much of a compliment.

"Gated" has a negative connotation. It means (according to m-w.com): "to punish by confinement to a campus or dormitory"; to control by means of a gate."

To me, "Gated" implies that members aren't completely at liberty to discuss their opinions; that we (TZ staff) don't allow non-moderated open discussion. And while that is true to a certain extent, it's because we've always tried to keep TZ largely "family-friendly" to be more accessible to the public. But we aren't control freaks, by any means.

I have no idea what the official AS forums are like. Not having a working computer at home, I have to check my e-mail at the library and their computer network bars access to anything it sees as "chat"-related.

 

[Craig Crumpton]

Yup, they had a whole lineup of cards saying who he was, what he had done and what he meant to them.

When did they show that? The only mention of Harry Goz I saw was at the end of Sealab, and there was only one card.

No matter how hot se is,
Somebody, somewhere,

That's beautiful man.

That's all folks.

Come back tomorrow night.

Cause if you haven't seen the end
of this episode before...

You should.

Plus we'll get fired if no one
watches.

(Adult Swim Music Credits)

And that's it. Whoo, one of my fastest times for these cards. Although this was a fairly easy week, made easier with no Brak News or moving Turd Racer cards. Well see you on Thursday (Friday) for the Viewer cards, and then next next Sunday (Monday) for the weekly cards. That is if there aren't any new cards this week.

So I take it you're not familiar with real life gated communities then? It's not intended to have a negative connotation; that just what they're really called.

That being said, it could go either way. Some people hate gated communities, and some people love them. Some people feel that the rules are far too strict and the neighborhood association are made up of control freaks (you must keep your yard tidy at all times, everything on the outside must be certain colors, etc.). While at the same time, others feel they're the perfect "family friendly" environment to live in run by people who are just looking out for everyone’s well-being. If you ask me, that's the perfect metaphor for TZ.
