A real place... HMMMMM...
DING! A story.

I wake up at the sound of the beep that tells of PM messages. Some guy spammed me and I inform it to a admin. The room isnt very large. Enough for a bed and a coffee machine. I get my clothes done and walk out of the room to the hallway. Everything is so grey. I didnt except really good service at Acmlms hotels. I walk out of the grey hotel and there it is. It looks like big blue skyscraper and it has a flag on top, with a mario of course.

I walk to the doors of Acmlm and enter. The first sight shows that this is the main lounge, a big open place, blue and covered with posters of different games, like SMW and AWDS, Halo and DOA, FF10 and God Of War. I talk with the guard asking if has happened anything special. Nothing. I look to left where stands the door to General Chat. I go there.

The room is big, blue, filled with many chairs and tables with a coffee and snack shop. Nothing new yet there.

I go to Newbie Forum, sometimes called "t3h n00b c0rn3r". It looks like a big babycare place, walls covered with pictures (spam maybe?) and colorfully bright room with some playing blocks on the floor.

Next, the World Affairs. Another big room this time, it is pleasant white color. The room has many scoreboard looking things that show worlds countries status. At the back of the room is a REALLY big scoreboard, which reads at the moment "WTF!˝!˝!" The room is very noisy, because everyone is shouting loud.

Ah, next room, Modern Art. The room is very quiet and bright. Many paintings are attached to the walls and there are many drawingboards everywhere. Looks really colorful. Theres even few computers for GIF and picture manipulating.

Help And Suggestions. Small postbox, which reads "Insert Coin To Complain Or Tell Something Cool"

Computers And IRC are all in one big room. Its very dark there, only the lights of computers light the grey walls. There are about 100000 computers and the air is very warm here, even when the blowers are on.

(TBC = To Be Continued)

Grey's description rocks.


Yeah, he´s a good writer so it doesn´t really surprise me.

He´d be able to do an essay about the board.

If there was ever a convention of Acmlmboard members, I'd bring tear gas, just like I would if it was a real place!

A rain-soaked, taped-together-but-still-there cardboard box.

and according to Grey's description, Lost Threads would be a box right outside the board

YES IT IS JUST A BOX BUT IT IS MY KINGDOM.

If Acmlm's was a real place, then I'd guess it isn't anymore, since was is the past tense. </grammar nazi>

I've actually touched down on this in several of my adventures in the SF.

The Acmlm's Board Building, as I see it, is a gigantic apartment-styled building on the outskirts of a very large city. It is extremely tall, and has office-building-like glass window paneling covering the entire complex.

The Admin Room and Staff Forums are on the top floors: Those with offices get the best view.

Just below the Admin Room and Staff Forums is the ROM Hacking department, with several floors devoted to it for the individual types of ROM hacking. Pokemon Hacking, recently added, actually had to have the building sliced in two so that it could be horizontally shoved in there with the rest of the floors. Needless to say, the stairs were a bitch to install.

Below ROM Hacking is the Craziness department, which really extends throughout the building to the point of actually having small installments in every department. However, the main craziness area is where all of the parties and fads originate from. A crack team of researchers scout out various parts of the internet that are deemed LOL-worthy and assembles them for presentation to the residents of the building. The padded walls are there as a safety precaution. In the centre of the Craziness area is the Brain Teasers department, which is where a great deal of the board's mental power ends up.

Below Craziness is the General Commerce department. It is here that General Chat, World Affairs/Debate/Bitching, and Help/Suggestions end up, each preparing to report the most important news, weather, and sports to the masses.

As such, it would make sense to have the Media Department below General. Anime, Sports, and Entertainment share one floor here, and have offices in various areas around the series of floors that make up the general department. Below A/S/E is Modern Art, which makes up its own floor and is really more like a very large, exotic museum (with a few rather unsightly pieces here and there) than it is like an office.

Below Media is the Gaming department. Comprised of five floors, the General gaming area is on the bottom with General Emulation on top of it. Super Mario is above Emulation, RPG discussion above that, with Online and Creation sharing the top floor, just below Media. Highlighted in the General Gaming department is its archives, which cover the main extent of the General Gaming department and a large portion of the Emulation floor.

The social areas are below that, sharing a floor with each other: Anya and Elmo's, and the OC. It's here that most of the residents of the building gather to chat, socialize, and get together for a good, solid round of Ping Pong. The DDR Machine in the OC Lounge is linked to the one in the General Gaming department for competitive purposes.

The residential areas are below that, extending all the way to the ground floor, which is the main office. The residential areas are a modular series of floors that somehow keep twisting and turning themselves into more and more intricate patterns. Each registered user has their own living space (save for staff, who each have offices in their respective departments or in the Staff Floors) that they can modify to their own needs at any time, so long as it does not present a danger to others. The main office on the bottom features the FAQ printed in gigantic lettering and readily available to gaze upon for all visitors to the building.

The SB/SF are not their own floors at all: The SB is an annex added onto the building on the north side. It also contains the board's dining halls and the janitor's closet, also known as my office. The SB has a large, interconnected series of catacombs below it that make up the board in general's plumbing system. You'd think it'd be suicide to have the SB be above such a fragile and desperately important system, but thanks to the efforts of Dracoon in a recent redesign of the annex, people can still use their toilets without a problem.

The Story Forum is a good bit bigger than the SB, fortunately. It is a great, box-like building that is attached via closed tunnel to the main board. In here is an excessively huge library as well as the board's auditorium, where a great deal of plays and acting goes on. Its backyard is the board's backyard, where the gardens and greenhouses are. Also, Craziness tends to have barbecues here. Except, they're less about meat and more about burning things... >.>

....And that's about it. The board. As I see it, anyway.

I actually started using Kafuka layout a while back when someone, prolly Alastor, said something in one of his posts... It was a topic of layouts used, and he was like, "KAFUUUUUUUUKAAAAAA!" So I switched from AcmlmBoard 1.9 to Kafuka.

So I would picture everything red. Lots of red, and when people are IP banned, they are locked in a stall in the never ending bathroom!

It would be a small blackish place with colorful lights. The separate forums would look like stores with their titles in neon lights. The staff room would have a large hexagonal teleporter of some sort in the middle of the town. Anyone who's not part of staff gets thrown out when they try to step onto it.

The streets would be littered with banned morons hitting their heads on wooden boards. Some banned people would be chained up to the walls yelling at people.

The software help place would look almost like a best buy except 10 times smaller. The officer's club would look like a bar. Anya and Elmo's corner would have pink walls, pillows and stuffed animals all over the floor. The modern art forum would have some of the really good pieces up on canvas, hung for everyone to see. The writer's forum would branch from modern art.

The mario/video game forums (lies north) would be connected into one huge facility across the street from the serious forums, looks like an arcade.

The pit of dispair (lies east) is the furthest away from the forums. It's a deep hole with grey, dead threads in it. A bunch of little spam gremlins jumping up and down and eating junk.

Then there's the logout/login door on the opposite side of the pit of dispair. It's white and flashy. People come in and out of that door.

you know i could realy see this place being something like that. just one huge computer place with people just sitting at computers doing different computer stuff. but now that i have seen more of this website then i know that if this was a building then it would have some indivisuality compared to other buildings.

The Rom Hacking Forums would be the world of Infinite Torture. Ancient Grammarians like Quintillian would descend upon your sorry souls force you to descend to the lowest circles of Hell.
