Welcome to another blazing amazing edition of the CL Times! It is I your SUICIDAL, GENECIDAL,
HOMICIDAL, NO Not ECW's Sabu but CL host Top Kirby! That one was for you Driver. XD
I can't believe we are into our 25th edition! I apologize that our last few CL Times never made
it out due to our very faulty and messed up Bulk Email. Rest assured that Me and Sheyenne have
a plan to work around this flaw but it will take some time. Till then you can enjoy the luxury of
reading these newsletters on CL in the "Association Headlines".
Ok, now to get the show on the road....here is our usual CL Statistics Update!
CL now has 2,070+ Members, over 69,000+ Posts, HIGH Activity, CUSTOM Skin & Buttons,
Friendly Staff, ZB Transfer & Conversion & Revamp coming soon and much more! Sheyenne
has more news to share with you regarding the CL Revamp & Transfer operations later in his
exclusive segment. So if your interested in the MANY changes and potential new contests,
that will be something you won't want to miss.

CL Newsbit #1 - The Staff Curse Remains Alive!
Yes, you heard me right. Another CL Staffer has been getting overwhelmed with a slew
of problems and that is W.B Yates. She has been considering leaving CL but we are not quite
sure of her final decision as of yet.
But we will keep you posted on what happens with her. Should she leave, a spot could be
opened up for someone else to snag.

Anime Judgement #5
Welcome to another fun & action packed Anime Judgement! This week, Ging and
his co-host Brad meet their NEW 3rd co-host in that of Nam (AKA Simplyatbliss). This
week they will discuss the anime "Inuyasha". We certainly hope you enjoy it!
Ging: Welcome to the anime judgement segment! I am your host Ging, with Brad
as the co-host, and Nam, our new Co-host.
Ging: The anime this week is Inuyasha.
Nam: Yay...
Ging: So, first off, what was your first impressions of the anime?
Brad: Was fun to watch at first and then after that it just got stupid because
things got dragged out.
Ging: For me it was "Wow, this anime seems pretty soild....wait, there are 100000 episodes?
....I could sum this series up in 26.
Nam: I never liked it. It just bore the hell out of me, and I just gave up on it.
Ging: I think most gave up on it.
Brad: How many episodes were there even?
Ging: Like 132 or something
Nam: 167.
Ging: Holy s**t.
Brad: Thats alot
Ging: Yeah
Brad: I saw like 50
Nam: Could one of ya'll sum up the story for the people that has never watch it?
Ging: The only anime I have sat through that was more than 100 episodes was yu yu
hakusho, and that was because, it was far more enjoyable and didnt use the same supporting
and main cast over and over. I hate seeing the same people over and over if they are not main,
espcially when no one dies.
Nam: I could watch 100+ episode series, Bleach and DBZ, and this was just blah. I really didn't
care about the characters to watch past 20 or so episodes.
Brad: DBZ is the only anime I've ever seen a 100 episodes of
Ging: DBZ was a very good early anime
Ging: (Hey guys, should we do DBZ next week?)
Nam: (Sure. Even though we shouldn't discuss this at the moment, lulz)
Ging: (Don't worry, TK edits the crap out of these anyways)
Ging: Okay
Ging: Wait we are gettting off topic.
Nam: (I actually laugh out loud. So back to Inuyasha?)
Ging: (Unfortunately back to the shitty anime)
Ging: Okay, How do you feel about the characters of inuyasha?
Nam: The main character was a half demon and his brother is a full demon, and all of
the bad guys were racist to the half demon right?
Ging: Yeah
Brad: Sessomaru=God
Ging: Sessomaru=overrated
Ging: I didnt like the characters, they had boring and generic bakcgrounds.
Ging: *shurgs*
Brad: Shippo can go burn in the fiery depths of hell
Ging: The dubbing was terrible
Nam: Wow, we really hate this show.
Ging: Yeah
Brad: I loved the show at first until it got to the point were it was mainly the same thing.
Ging: Too many fucking fillers.
Brad: Hell Inuyasha is what truly got me into anime.
Nam: How'd it start with Inuyasha? Adult Swim?
Brad: Nope.
Brad: I don't have Adult Swim.
Ging: He doesnt et adult swim.
Ging: Darn beat me to it.
Brad: You guys won't know the channel since its a Canadian station. A friend from school back
in Grade 8 told me about it and how it was starting on YTV so I watched it and was into it. Then I
watched other animes.
Ging: Anywho, lets organize the negatives in a list now.
Brad: Shippo and fillers.
Brad: Nuff said.
Ging: -dubs, -undeveloped characters, - fillers, -dragged on too long.
Nam: Story sucked.
Ging: Eh, it was just a bit generic, dumb girl does something stupid, hero teams up with her because
she has big breasts and they fix everything.
Nam: Did they after 167 episodes? lol
Ging: That's what I hear.
Nam: And 5 sequels?
Ging: I dont know xD
Nam: So what's everybody's rating?
Ging: 5/10 = mediocre
Brad: 3/5
Nam: 3/10
Ging: 6/10 for Brad.
Ging: Use the same damn denominator next time Brad!
Ging: Okay positvies for this anime.
Ging: -white hair is in.
Brad: It had it's amazing moments before we got the fillers.
Brad: Miroku's pervertness was funny to watch.
Nam: Well, I guess that's it.
Nam: Whoa. I forgot to scroll down. I guess that's not it.
Nam: Don't worry about it.
Ging: Nam, any positives, its the last questions.
Nam: No positives.
Ging: Okay xD that has been another anime judgement. We have concluded that
Inuyasha sucks. See you later!
Nam: Word.
Brad: Big Breasts!

TK's Pokemon Review Of The Week #2
Welcome to another indepth Pokemon analysis! This week I will touch down on the
VERY popular and overused Pokemon next to Garchomp.....the infamous Ghost/Poison
type Gengar!
-=TK's Suggested Moveset=-
Gengar (Modest) w/Choice Scarf or Life Orb
- Shadow Ball
- Thunderbolt
- Psychic
- Giga Drain
Lets face it people, Gengar has a GODLY Spc.Atk that rivals that of the great Alakazam so
your gonna want to take advantage of this incredible stat in everyway hence the all attacking
moveset. His Speed is pretty phenominal too and that is why I suggest either Choice Scarf or
Life Orb for him to hold. Choice Scarf boosts his Speed further allowing him to even OUTSPEED
Crobats and Electrode that have speed beyond 370+. Life Orb can also be used to give his
Spc.Atks more power at the cost of life but hell, he should literally be crippling ANYTHING in his
way if not killing it.
Anyways, we start by delving into Shadow Ball. I think it's self explanatory! Gengar gets STAB
on the move and it's his hardest hitting move. The chance of a Spc.Def drop is also very nice so
it's a nice investment. You can also sleep soundly knowing that Gengar can outrun every other
ghost to ensure that his Shadow Ball will send them running for the hills so keep those Dusknoirs,
Mismagius's and other ghosts at home!
Thunderbolt is the next choice. Why? Because of the million and one water types out there!
Gengar can dish out IMMENSE pain to them with since it has that monster Spc.Atk to feed off
of. There are quite a few Water/Flying combos that can easily be OHKO with Thunderbolt and
the paralysis chance is VERY pleasing as well. So this is definetely a MUST have for any Gengar
trainer!
Psychic is another STRONG hard hitting Spc.Atk that will cripple Gengar's other fellow Poison
types in addition to the Fighters he may come up against. Again, it feeds off that enormous
Spc.Atk so it should ensure a OHKO against those two types.
Giga Drain is a pretty decent Spc.Atk for Gengar to heal himself up with and it should do
some solid damage to anything that isn't resistant to it. It'll make those Water/Ground trainers
think twice about coming out to play as well and trust me there are quite a few Swampert &
Gastrodon trainers out there so this move can guarentee a OHKO.

Volume 2: The Release of AMG Paradise's New System.
Yo, it's Sheyenne again. Time for the second update.
When you read this, you'll already noticed that AMG Paradise's new system will be online.
There'll still be some features that aren't added, that WILL be added as time goes on. So it'll
be a fun experience in making sure everything works. With that, I will hope that anyone and
everyone who is looking at the new layout and using it sees a problem, that it will be reported
to me. Simply because, it's been tested in Firefox 2.x.x series and Internet Explorer 7.0. So
please, send me a PM.
Also, with this, a new section will be added either to the mainsite for the forum that will allow
you to request manga. But remember, you have to be registered at BOTH places to be able to
do that. More information will be added as time goes on.
That's all I have to report for now. I'll be back next week for more details on the CL skin
revampment.

CL Newsbit #5 - Affiliates Clean Out!
Recently, I went through CL's affiliates and cleaned out a bunch of dead boards and places I
felt we weren't getting enough attention from. If one of you were knocked out, you are welcome
to resend your affiliate to be added again.
Please, if you are running a board....make sure you plan on sticking around longer then a month
as it's kind of a hassle ripping down new affiliates days after putting them up.
---
That about wraps it up for this edition of the CL Times! Next week, the Interview Segment will
return as will the Freelance Writer's Segment as I want to keep rotating everything to set apart
each and every edition. It keeps things fun and fresh!
Anyways, thanks for reading and I'll see you all back here next weekend!
Take care!
