Some of you guys have talked about another website that you've been hanging around for a bit now, the Alexnewtron-owned "Social Meeps". I decided to check it out and say what I think of it in a half-serious manner.

From what I understand, your avatar is a round circle. For some reason this is called a "Meep". Perhaps it's what they say when you squeeze them or step on them. As the name of the website implies, Meeps are not hermits -- they prefer hanging out with other Meeps. For this purpose, they have a rather plain 2-part 2D world they can roll back and forth in that looks a bit like Early Poptropica Island.

The only purpose of this website appears to be earning enough coins to buy stuff to stick on your Meep. (That just sounds wrong, doesn't it -- stuff to stick on your Meep?) While you are waiting to earn enough coins, you can roll back and forth and chat with the other 6 or 7 Meeps who happen to be hanging out in MeepCity, or you can go to the forums.

Oh dear, the forums.

Until I saw the SM forums, I thought that the Roblox forums were bland. Roblox has no signature feature, no BB-code, no HTML, no polls, no smileys, just blue boxes of text. Buildism's forums compared to Roblox's are like comparing a Ferrari to one of those Volkswagen New Beetles.

That would make SocialMeeps one of the original Bugs. Albeit a highly-polished one.

They have the option to post a 3-option poll (if anyone can find a way to make that more useful than "yes, no, don't care" then please let me know) and you can make a one-line signature. There is literally nothing else -- no BB code, no HTML, no smileys, no images, no clickable links, no timestamp, no "page 2" of threads, no "page 2" of posts IN a thread, and the background is a gradiented gray.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that Ashely got hired there a day or two ago. Probably explains her sudden loss of sanity last night -- she must have figured there was no reason to hang around dull old Buildism when there's shiny new Meeps to go boss around.


All in all, it doesn't appear horrible, but it doesn't look to me like it could really get very popular when it gets out of Beta, whenever that's supposed to be. It reminds me of theGamerLand, only without the obnoxious owner (haven't actually talked to Alex yet, so I'm just assuming he's a normal sane person; I could be wrong).

Anyone think they can start a MvM server? Because 100% of the servers are packed and wait time is ~25 minutes.
Proof, yo:

Go ahead.

Recently, a lot of people (to some extent, myself included) have "exploited" a certain feature of the global chat to use HTML and CSS in it.

Now, small images like smileys and text enhancing italics and underlines and whatnot are one thing, but autolooping videos, redirects, tornado abstract destroyers and automatic Japanese babble are another. So until Jacob_ can put a restriction on some of the more annoying or chaotic forms of HTML, please don't use the HTML exploit. Things like <b> and <i> and <u> probably won't get you punished, and small <img>s and non-autoplaying videos are borderline acceptable, but most other things, such as autoplaying media and posting anything that prevents the chat from being functional, may get you a warning or, if repeated, a one-day ban. It can disrupt people's ability to do other things on the site.

I made a character part and background that said "don't ban". It was simillar to the hack skins that said "demote Ashely". I gues Jacob got confused and deleted my skins. So now I'm stuck with letters going accross my face, and I can't remove them.

I honestly don't have a problem with it.
It really annoys me when people consider it 'murder'.
Fertilized eggs aren't even fully developed humans.
Fertillized eggs are CELLS.
People shouldn't be deciding for others like this.
What if a woman was raped? Should they be FORCED to have that baby?
Only a sick-minded religious freak would classify abortion as 'murder'.

I'm going to move some of the best old skins to the new "Hall of Fame" section! Just post links here to your favorite skins (yours or otherwise). They will be uploaded by BuildismBot and credited appropriately.

You're still allowed to reupload other people's skins if you give them credit, but please don't mass-transfer low quality skins or they will be moved to the Archive category.

Since discussing weed in a mature fashion does not break any rules, I think we should have a nice conversation about weed. What do you guys think about weed? I personally support the legalization and distribution of marijuana.

You're welcome everyone.
