    I like ninjas.

    I thought that was a nice opening 8-)

    Ninjas, I think, are awesome. Wearing mostly black, and having immense stealth. To train in the art of the ninja, I think, would be everyone’s dream.

    On the internet, specifically in forums, there is a term that you say: “ninja’d”. Which means that someone has posted something the same, or similar to you, just a few seconds before. Thus they have the skills of a ninja, being quick (and deadly?), and making your post redundant.

    So far, a notable member that has the skills of a master ninja is Sarah @unclesniece, having successfully ninja’d many users.

    I thought we could discuss the topic here, but not just restricted to internet ninjaness, but the art of the ninja in general, and anything black-and-white ;)

    ========================================================================

    The Way of the Ninja

    I’ve also compiled a little list of members that have successfully ninja’d people, and the number of times they’ve done it. Now we can see who the true ninjas are :P

    Miscellaneous Quotes

    @midnight0094 said:
    Quote from Wikipedia:

    Ninja figured prominently in folklore and legend, and as a result it is often difficult to separate historical fact from myth. Some legendary abilities purported to be in the province of ninja training include invisibility, walking on water, and control over the natural elements. As a consequence, their perception in western popular culture in the 20th century was based more on such legend and folklore than on the historical spies of the Sengoku period.

    That proves it.

    Ninjas are direct descendents of benders from the Avatar world. ;)

    Just had to post this here, thought it was the best ninja line ever. 8-)

    @airspeed said:
    Woah what is this, ninjas being ninja’d while saying they were ninja’d.

    @rabadoo said:
    I don’t always Ninja, but when I do, I prefer to ninja a ninja.

    This is harlious,
    You know whats even worse getting ninja’d on your own topic..*sigh*
    before the hack,on my older topics/forms I would always end up getting ninja’d.

    Side note…
    Is it just me or do we all talk about the hack in a way that seems simliar to war on ATLA
    Example “Oh yes, I remember the hack it was a tragic day indeed, for our avatar community but then airspeed came and restored balance and peace.”

    Republic City Run most addicting game ever

    @jade Interesting… you know what that made me think about?

    Water. Earth. Fire. Air.
    My grandmother used to tell me stories about the old days, the time of peace.
    When the Moderators kept balance between the Water Tribes, Earth Kingdom, Fire Nation, and Air Nomads.
    But that all changed when the site was hacked.
    Only the Admins, master of all four elements, only he could stop the ruthless hackers, but when the world needed him most… he vanished.

    =============================================================

    Water. Earth. Fire. Air.
    Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony.
    Then, everything changed when the hackers attacked.
    Only the Admins, master of all four elements, could stop them, but when the world needed him most… he vanished.
