Higher Quality

Hey guys, it’s me.

I know you’ve all heard the news about EL leaving us. EL, if you’re reading this I want you to know something. I know I always said you were immature (and yes, most of the time I was right.) but that last post really changed you’re image in my eyes. Whether you wrote that poem or not, it was absolutely beautiful and I definitely respect you for that. You will be deeply missed by all of us here at the PHB.

Anyway, on to the base of this post. You all know that frequently, we end up relying  members of the PHB community for our videos. Not to say we still won’t need you guys, but I can take a bit of the burden off of your shoulders. Normally I never make poptropica videos because they usually end up looking something like this…

Ouch, that almost hurts my eyes to look at. Luckily I finally screwed around with Hypercam enough to make this.

Hey, that actually looked pretty decent! You should expect more videos from me in the future. 🙂

The Amazing PHC!

[ Click here to go to the Poptropica Help Chat room! (Opens in a new window.)

Hey guys! I’m here to promote something I’m sure you’ll all love. Do you like chatting online with great people? Than the poptropica help chat room is perfect for you. With a totally safe environment and upbeat feel you’re sure to have a great time!

Tragically, it seems that just like the “Poptropica Help Forums”, the “Poptropica Help Chat” is also dying. No, not dying in the literal sense. I’m talking about activity. It seems that every time I go on, I see no one there. We can’t let this milestone in PHB history just wash away can we? No sir! That’s not who we are!

Come join us!

I always get on the PHC, along with plenty other respected authors and fans of the PHB. The people there are always nice and friendly. Although if their not, don’t worry. Just tell an owner (Gold Pawn on the right sidebar.) or a moderator (White pawn.) if someone is being mean or harassing you. They can give that person a warning or if it gets to serious, even ban them from the chat all together.

We only have three big rules at the PHC. In no specific order.

1.) No cursing or swearing. Other people find this offensive and you may be banned from the chat if it continues.

2.) No spamming. Spamming is when you post lots of unnecessary random messages or use tons of smileys in you’re message. Most people find this very annoying as it makes it hard to see other people talking throughout all of the random things. You could be kicked or banned depending on how bad it is, or just a warning if you don’t do it again.

3.) The number one rule at the PHC is to be nice to others. No one wants to be made fun of or be picked on online. Please respect others and try to make friends. 🙂

Don’t worry, I’m sure after hearing all that you’re pretty scared. Bans don’t happen very often, as long as you’re not totally being mean to other people you have nothing to worry about.

The PHC Rules! I’ll see you there soon! 😀

So long for now,

~Hicoga
