Welcome Azathoth! That's sounds pretty good for being random, I'd like to see it when it's done! If you'd like me to, I could post some of your pictures up on the merchandise pages of my site.

I've tested the Emergency Facepalm System on three different forums. It worked perfectly on this forum, it crashed on IndyLounge, and it's not responding on Thorn Valley.

Emergency Facepalm Success rate is currently at 33.3% it seems.

Hello everyone, shivermetimbers here! Yes, I'm the same guy who posts on Thorn Valley with the same username. What a twist! I'm not a huge SoN fan as I consider the film to be flawed in some aspects, but I totally respect that's a children's film that treats kids with respect with its themes of motherhood and its use of great animation.

I love cinema, and if given the option, I would totally like to pursue a career in film criticism. I also like horror and video games and having the two mixed to good effect. Just a little quick info about my interests. I don't read much and I know I'm missing out on a lot of great literature. I am, however, starting to change that by reading the autobiography of Malcolm X and I'll eventually go on to read Jurassic Park.

I'd also like to point out that, unintentionally, I've acted like a jerk over at Thorn Valley. Not only that, but I posted a lot of arguments and just general nonsense that was really incoherent and immature. Looking back I can only frown at myself looking at my post history. Civil debate and discussion was what I was trying to spark up most of the time, but more often than not I was actually sparking up the opposite. It's never my intention to harm others, and hopefully I can start here with a clean slate.

So yeah, with that out of the way, happy new year and best wishes to you all.

Welcome aboard shivermetimbers, glad to have to here with us! I do agree that NIMH isn't a 'perfect' film and is missing some things, but I believe it deserves a spot in animation history.

I think you would make a great film critic. A good movie review site that I know called Rotten Tomatoes lets you rate and review any film that's in the website's database. It's nice to read others' opinions! As for books, I don't read as much as I used too. I read Marley and Me at the cabin I went up to shortly before New Years Eve but I didn't have enough time to finish it. So far, it was pretty good.

I've made myself look silly on Thorn Valley back when I joined in 2006. I was only 12 then and just started getting into the whole NIMH-craze. I used to make a lot of nonsense posts and bumped old threads that didn't need to be brought up again. Last year, I went back and edited all of my old posts to make them look less ridiculous than they already were. I still feel silly when I think about how I posted back then, but I've become more mature now that I'm seven years older.

It's always great to start fresh, and I think you'll do just fine here. Happy new year to you too!

Heyo! Sorry I haven't been so active on updating the forum or website as of late. I have just entered college a couple of weeks ago so I am trying to squeeze in time to brush the dust off of this forum.

*tries swishing dust off with his tail?*  Did that help any?
