The Pirate-Community Documentary

Shouldn't both components of a word ideally be in the same language though?

Not necessarily. Almost every English word is compound, deriving from pretty much every other language on the planet. There are lots of words that have two, even three different language bases in them.

For example? (Not challenging, just curious)

[stan423321]

A "2"? Nanorobot. Nano is of Greek origin and Wikipedia says it meant dwarf. Robot is a custom word of Czech origin, stemming from Slavic "robota", meaning (potentially hard and boring) work. No "3s" at hand, though.

In case of Polish, some famous individuals encouraged using source words of same origin whenever possible, but public did not care basically.

Surprised none of the mathematicians here pointed out that there's no such thing as a "septagon".

Yes there is, they're both correct and mean the same thing. Nonagon is also correct, they're merely prefixes from Latin instead of the Greek 'hepta' and 'ennea.' It's not a messup. You want to know a real messup? Calling an F# a Gb.

Also, I haven't seen you in ages.

It might sound messed up, but calling an F# a Gb is correct when going down a scale that has that note in. If you were going up, however, it would be correct to call it an F#. Same applies to Eb being called a D# and a Db being called a C#, etc.

I'm aware of that, I'm just being cynically stubborn.

13th November:
The new Ranklist is working.

[Master]

Danone, I see you've reduced your ting count to be a Deadman.
I wonder if the Xmas Advent Calender will be on this year, it'd be good to boost myself to Axel.

[Danone]

Danone, I see you've reduced your ting count to be a Deadman.

They are lucky in my bank.

[Haruka]

I'm sure Santa Claus will appear in the right time. A little birdie told me this.

[Danone]

Hope this year I can win something , never did it before.

[Haruka]

I even heard that Santa Claus is looking for a potential partnership in the RPC for his gift-giving job. Like... reindeers.

[Danone]

Reindeers? haha that sound cool. We will see him at 23th November, right?

[Haruka]

I don't know, we never know if there's an electricity cut in Santa Claus' house in that day due to climaterical issues.

[Rulez]

Heh, Santa Claus with binghams.

It's a shame that we have so little information about the recent events on the documentary, would anyone be so kind as to start working on it? There's bonus Tings to win here! We need to fill these gaps, so for my part I'm going to start with late 2004. Should bring nice memories.

[Master]

We could talk about the Pusianka debacle, it certainly attracted forum-wide attention.
Then we also have the constant spambotting from a few days back, nothing forum damaging, but certainly an annoyance.
When did RayTunes start having problems?
We could make mention of Robotic Teensie's RaySaves feature, apparently that is supposed to become an official RPC service when the server issues subside.
Also, I don't know if it's noteworthy, but perhaps the Legend's delay should be mentioned, I know a few members weren't very happy as a result of it.

[Rulez]

When did RayTunes start having problems?

When he changed his username to Keane huihuihiuhuihiuhiu

[Master]

Ah yes, I forgot about that name change.

[Keane]

When did RayTunes start having problems?

When he changed his username to Keane huihuihiuhuihiuhiu

oh you

[Hunchman801]

Well that's a good start, anyone feel like finding out the dates of these events so that we can add them to the first post? We should be able to find at least a notorious event per month.

May 2012 (It's been a year since that happened?)
>Member Pusianka opens a thread ranting about the size of user signatures, DesLife swiftly locks the thread.

May 2013
>Spambots continously spam the boards to a considerable amount, moderator Haruka can only delete threads, but not prevent them from constantly creating new ones, members discuss potential ways of inhibiting the spambots, and admin Hunchman801 finally returns and deals with the problem once and for all.
>Haruka decides to change the rules of the photo contest as she cannot judge all the entries received, participants are now only capable of sending one photo per subject, as opposed to the previous ten per subject limit.
> Rayman Legends is announced for PS Vita, alongside the revelation that each platform the game will be released on will have exclusive content, the Vita and Wii U moreso.
