In the strict sense of restoring your post/points/rep/etc counts, you don't, hence why I'm at 50 reps instead of 2200. You could do what CowCow said, but that's just about your only real option that comes close. Even then, I think the only people straight-up copy-pasting more than a single post over from the other site are the people in the Persona RP. It's going to be quite a bit of effort for all that content, but if you think it's worth it, kudos to you for putting in the work.

OP's suggestion. [HEAVY METAL STARTS AGAIN]

7/10. Quick special shoutout to IRS while we're here since he posted a Lordi song near the start of the thread back on YCM, which is how I got into what's gradually become one of my favorite bands. This track in particular makes me think of Ghost. (first time listening to this specific song)

you're my waifu because of your avatar

I see you're a man of culture as well.
(I'm flattered)

What's another state you'd like to visit that you haven't visited before?

“I’m sorry! I wasn’t watching were I was going.”

I noticed. If she'd been paying a bit more attention, this could have been avoided. Though which "she" Kyouko meant was a bit hazy, even to her. Now that the initial shock of the surprise collision had come and gone, Kyouko turned her attention away from her thoughts and back to this other girl whose name escaped her. At least she remembered her face. Somehow.

“So, uh, how are you doing today? I’m currently looking for a club to join. Are you looking for one too?”

"The opposite, actually. I'm trying to keep all these clubs looking for new members off my back. A room full of strangers doesn't sound all that appealing, even if it's for a common interest." Even from here, Kyouko could hear the chatter around all the different booths, taking new members, advertising their clubs, the usual stuff for this time of the school year. She could just barely spot Jun at the duel team booth, along with that Double Down kid and the guy he'd dueled a while back. The swim team was nowhere to be seen, but that made sense; they'd be at the pool.

"You should join the swim team and try to pass off as me," Kyouko joked, though her tone of voice didn't sound joking. "Maybe then they'll stop bothering me."

I don't plan on advocating piracy, as it's the leading concern with ROMs (and justifiably so), but it's as CowCow said. In addition to older copies of games eventually getting harder to come by, there come points where the old consoles themselves simply give in to age and use, and as a result consoles that don't get sold in some way shape or form become a steadily dying breed the moment production stops on them. ROMs and emulators are a consistent way to use these old games no matter the age, and provide functionality on the PC's side that the console itself simply doesn't have without shelling out for additional hardware that isn't even owned by the company making the console and can get pretty pricey. I'm not saying you should go find a Switch emulator, grab a Mario Odyssey ROM, and never buy the game itself if you like it (because you shouldn't do that). But as certain games and consoles get older and older, it becomes the only option unless a re-release happens.

And frankly, that sucks. A lot of amazing games from the Gamecube/PS2 generation fall into this group. The consoles themselves are gradually dying, with no known plans to remake quite a few of the exceptional games that really made that time period of games shine to be seen. Games like Kirby Air Ride, Dark Cloud, Super Mario Sunshine, Soul Calibur 3, and the entirety of the Tony Hawk's series have this problem, and it's only a matter of time before games on the Wii, PS3, or XBox 360 also suffer this fate. Nintendo 64s and the games for them are practically extinct by now due to age, let alone even older consoles. Keeping ROMs and emulator sites active for preservation purposese is a bit more shady than putting up the bodies and possessions of ancient figures in museums, but it's the closest comparison I could think of.

Also, even if a site meant for hosting ROMs got taken down, another one would just take its place, or the ROMs would otherwise migrate to torrent sites, which are dangerously good at doing exactly that.

Which newcomer were you most excited for in Smash Ultimate? (not counting Joker since he's not out yet)

I'm in, but only want to be part of funtimes that affect multiple members.

Nobody's going to understand that reference you nincompoop.

Also I'm voting for Rep.

If you could drop one active RP right now, which would it be?

This one. It's still in the first round of posting so it'd be the least impactful for me to leave.

If you were to host an RP, what kind of RP would it be?

I'm here to roll another servant while you're hopefully delivering.

Location: Trailsau (Team Alola, day 27)
Inventory: Good Rod, Antidote, Kasib Berry

"W-we c-can't really s-search for them easily w-with all this going on."

Yeah, this Manectric and him fighting everyone was a problem. It would make looking for people pretty tough. Something had to be done about--

"Excuse me! Just what do you both think you're doing in the streets here?"

No.

"I'm here to search for people, thank you very much. And you're making it very difficult with all the this."

Marie, don't.

"Fine! If it's the only way to teach you manners!"

Stop fighting please, Nani mentally begged. She'd been in and witnessed more fights in the last month or so than she had for the rest of her life put together. Was this just a really violent region or something?

"M-MARIE!! And you get upset with me when I pick fights? Sheesh...talk about the pot callin' the kettle black."

"Yeah, not the smartest move there. But if they like beef, then we'll buss 'em up."

"Guess it can't be helped," Nani sighed, walking up as if to stand alongside the rest of her companions, before stopping without warning, and manifesting a spectral bone-shaped object in her hand. It looked more like something a Marowak would have than a Mimikyu, but regardless, Nani threw the bone directly at the Manectric without any indication that she'd do otherwise. She didn't want to stand next to the guy that was standing on a bunch of other guys he'd beaten up.

"You don't have to help, by the way," Nani called back to Trevor, not turning back to face him so much as bending her back far enough that she could look at him from there. "I'd appreciate the assist, though."

Today was the big day. Aya would meet her classmates, introduce herself, start her life at this big important school everyone told her she should go to, and then maybe have a snack later. She was one of the final students to arrive, and sat near the right side of the crowd. They looked like an alright bunch, though there was one guy among them that looked kind of shady. And speaking of shady, that was exactly what Aya felt about the self-proclaimed headmaster. It was, of all things, a stuffed bear. How it was moving and talking was beyond her.

This has to be a joke.

And then it announced that it was here for something a bit more fun than the hope of the world. Aya wasn't sure what she was expecting, but a "game" about killing other students certainly wasn't it. There were a lot of words Aya could think of for that, but "legal" was nowhere on that list.

A really bad joke.

The more this bear talked, the less sense it was making. It was acting as if it planned to keep everyone locked in the school. The student handbooks looked pretty neat, though. Aya wasted no time getting down from the bleachers, stepping up to the table and picking one up. Then she eyed the stupid bear warily. "I've got a question. Is this an out of season April Fool's joke?"

"Phuhuhu..." The bear had brought his hands up to his mouth as that little laugh escaped it, just loud enough for Aya to hear it now that she had approached, "Man, you kids just naturally doubt everything these days, huh? Whatever happened to listening to the adults? Don't you have trust?"

"If I doubted everything, I don't think I'd be in this school to begin with. Let's assume you're serious for a second though. Surely you've got a murder weapon on you for an opportunistic student that wants a head start, right? Like a gun or something?"

Another laugh, though this one was a lot louder, "Oh wow! I didn't know we had a bloodthirsty killer in the group!" The bear raised a hand up towards Aya, the other hand behind his head as if he was trying to wink towards her, "It wouldn't be fair of me to give out a weapon directly, I'm an impartial observer... But don't worry! Get creative and there's plenty of wonderful things you can use to kill! Knives for stabbing, bats for bludgeoning! Knock them unconscious and set them ablaze! If you're feeling particularly angry, crush them! Anything can be a weapon!"

"Even these?" she asked, holding her Student Handbook out toward the bear. If they're really so important, they ought to be pretty sturdy.

"Whazzat?" Monokuma's head tilted as he glanced down at the handbook, before throwing his arms out towards Aya, "You gotta be kidding me! The student handbooks don't break, they have no weaknesses! If you break one, I'll punish you right then and there!"

Unbreakable, huh? Neat. There were some other things Aya wished were unbreakable. The loss of a dear camera last year came to mind in particular. Oh well, that was just part of life. But if they were truly unbreakable, why would the headmaster specify she'd be punished for breaking one? "I'm not really familiar with tablets. Is it okay if I come up there for some instructions on how to use this thing?"

"Are you stupid?" The bear had claws it seemed, and they were bared right in front of his face as he looked down at Aya. "You press the button on the tablet and then it's a touch screen, god! I thought you kids were supposed to be glued to these things." It seemed like he wasn't quite the nurturing type of Headmaster, if that was his idea of helping. "Ask one of your classmates for help, maybe you'll get lucky and they won't murder you!"

"Hmph." The whole murder game thing was a dumb joke anyway. Right? Reluctantly, Aya returned to the bleachers, putting a notable bit of extra distance between herself and the other students, looking over the features her handbook had. By how smoothly she was navigating it, there was no way Aya was unfamiliar with tablets.

Threads like this are a pretty good start on site improvement. It's a good place to bring up things that people may think are too minor to warrant their own entire thread's worth of attention (like I will at the end of this post). I can mainly only think of one minor and one major suggestion. I'll start with the bigger one since it's both the one I care less about and the one that seems less likely.

Restructuring Blogs and Clubs back into forum sections. Or at least just Clubs. While blogs are still doing alright on the new site, clubs are very clearly struggling, though the presence of Discord may not be helping matters much either. As a proper section again, it would be less incredibly easy to overlook the active clubs, and potentially spot new ones members may be interested in. However, I don't know how this shift would work with the ones that are already up and running, which is why I'm hesitant about saying to go for it.

The other is to make it to where emotes don't automatically replace some character combinations in the post editor. This was something YCM used to do as well until it was brought up, and I've been thinking about making a thread but it seemed too minor to warrant its own thread's worth of attention, so this is the perfect place to bring it up.

"Yeah, sounds like you got this thought out then, Snow Angel."

"I was training to be a superhero," Aurora proudly answered. From the sound of things, if they wanted to play subtle, they could just tell VEX who to research and let him do the rest. But... that seemed a bit too hands-off, didn't it? She definitely still wanted to keep things lowkey with this investigation, but sitting around doing nothing sounded excessive. "Letting VEX do some of the research is a good plan, but we shouldn't rely entirely on him. We should at least go there ourselves later and ask around, even if it isn't about the stuff we're actually investiating."

"We take her badge and move on."

"Got it." And then Suda made another one of those gravity orbs, which even with the distance between it and Hibiki, was still tugging on her. She took a few more steps back, not quite liking the feeling of the extra gravity. Taking this girl's badges while she was helpless on the ground seemed kind of cruel... but then again, she was going to do precisely that to Hibiki in that cave, wasn't she? Suda seems really powerful. Not hostile like those other girls, but I should still try to not get on his bad side.

"I'll be taking my badge now."

"Not while I've got anything to do about it!" the girl spat, trying her best to get up and keep fighting despite the painful ringing in her ears and the gravity pinning her down. While she was still able to rotate just a little bit, the most it amounted to was her just flopping around on the floor. Certainly not something that could stop Suda from checking around and finding not one, but two badges on her person. "Give those back!"

"Let's get going." Casting a glance to the girl, Hibiki sternly said "Don't follow us, or I'll scream again. I'm sure there's plenty of other ways to get your badges." And with that, the bat girl started leading the way away from the pinned-down assailant, as she continued spewing out a stream of what sounded like little more than enraged nonsense.

"Wait!" she called out as Suda would have turned, though. "Your name. I want to know who humiliated me like this."

Suda gave the girl a smirk, pointing a thumb at himself. "Suda Hiroharu, the one and only."

"Suzume Tachibana. Don't forget it."

That's kind of a cute name. Shame it's on that type of person.

I wasn't the one who bought it, but I had some fries and nuggets from mcdonald's this morning. Does that count even if I didn't pay for it?

"Who do you think is going to win?"

"It'll be the big guy. That little rabbit isn't fit for this at all."

"Mmm, as of now, I'd have to agree with Zirco winning. He's aggressive, and Leiko's move seems a bit too reactive. However... I don't get why he didn't Synchro Summon. He might be looking down on Leiko in the same way he thought she was looking down on him, and it could cost him the game... But, it's still too early to tell!"

"Looking down on  your opponent often does that," Natsumi commented, looking with a lack of amazement at the current duel. Here she was hoping to see something impressive from the pair, but it was all looking pretty typical, wasn't it? If not a bit underwhelming. Both duelists were using decks that liked to Synchro Summon, weren't they? Yet not a single synchro monster was to be seen so far. But both of the duelists had face-down cards. Maybe they were just weighing each other out first? Natsumi wanted to assume that was the case. For now, that was what she'd be going with.

The smell of the popcorn was pretty enticing, meanwhile. Natsumi had to pass though; the kernels always gave her more trouble than the popcorn itself was worth.

"Unless that really is their best. In which case, this whole project desperately needs improvement."

Although, would it really be Leiko's fault if she really has been in the project for such a short time?

I really like Chelly's voice but I feel like some her songs have too much stuff going on to where it doesn't shine through, but this is a song where that isn't the case that I really like.

You rarely fail to impress. Have I ever told you that? 8/10, could have done with some "bigger" bits - especially near the end - to push it up to 9.

OP's suggestion, oh god I'm late to the party nobody told me the perfect girl got her full song released the other week

I can't rate this song even semi-objectively because my Saki bias is outright colossal, so I'm not gonna bother trying to pin a number on this one. Just listen to the song. Rate it yourselves if you so desire, even!

Please avoid things like World of Warcraft and League of Legends if you can.

I feel like you were thinking of a certain super-charming Gatorade enthusiast when you said this. But I'm actually assuming you just mean grind-heavy games that don't really have an endgame to speak of. Guess that means I can't say Crossout or Minecraft. That's unfortunate, since those were two of my picks.

I pick Dead Cells, Sid Meier's Civilization V, and Pokémon Black 2 in that case. Dead Cells because although it does have an endgame (sorta kinda, more than WoW anyway), each run's level layouts and equipment are randomized, so you can play it over and over again forever and get new experiences every time. It also gets updated every once in a while with new content; it's gotten one new patch since release (which was really more of a balancing patch) with another slowly closing in. Civ V for the same reason; the AI civs and maps are random every time, though the experience is a bit more controlled than the chaos that is Dead Cells.

And Black 2 because I'm a bit of a shitter abusing a loophole that will probably get shot down once I point it out. You never said the games couldn't be run on an emulator, meaning I can play it on desmume after I run the game through a randomizer to - you guessed it - make every run a different experience.

I'm here to nominate my boy and some other FEs I know about. It's only seven nominations, but hopefully it gets you going.

Roy (Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade)

Lucina (Fire Emblem: Awakening)

Tiki (Fire Emblem: Awakening (I think? I don't play these and am relying on wiki))

Nina (Fire Emblem Fates)

Nino (Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade)

Female Robin (Fire Emblem: Awakening)

Anna (basically every game in the series from what I'm seeing)

Dimitri (Fire Emblem: Three Houses (I'm nominating him anyway idc if you said not to being  at 7/8 frustrates me))
