and she clearly made these comments after I made my other one with my fanpage LOL. methinks someone just wants attention...
A 5 year old thread on something awful. somehow represents the entire mermaid community. Good to know. Like when you google "mermaids" this comes up right away I imagine? *rolls eyes* that still makes so little sense. Why would her dad just decide to use the word mervert.Quote:

Slightly off topic I guess but what happened to Shelly? I remember seeing really sad posts on her page a while back and I never saw her again after that.Quote:

I remember Shelly laying her mersona to rest. I guess there were some issues of trust betrayal between her and several of her friends and she felt like she was being taken advantage of as both a friend and a tailmaker. I remember seeing the event on Facebook and being very sad to see her turn to sea foam but she gave her mersona a beautiful burial at sea.Quote:

thanks! I just posted an introduction. I didn't really know how to go about doing it but I tried haha
I have a bad feeling about all of this. I believe that most mer-people of this community must keep their eyes open. If it happened once, i won't be surprised if it happened twice.
Remember Murphy's law: Everything can go wrong, will go wrong. And as a computer guru, the internet is a really bad place where god knows what is lurking around. I believe there is another site like this that still active, maybe not. Just saying.
So weird

Personally now that this was taken down, I'm satisfied. And perhaps I'm naive, but I do think that to some extent this was just total cluelessness on their part. Using the word mervert is pretty clearly inappropriate, but the fact that they embedded other sites on their website isn't actually that bad on its own. If they had just had a link to MerNetwork it wouldn't look that creepy, but embedding it totally does. And from an HTML perspective, what they did was extremely similar to posting a link.
Just to give more insight into using iframe, here's how you do it. Feel free to try it out here.
To make a link, use the following code:
<ahref="http://www.mernetwork.com/index/forum.php">This is a link to MerNetwork!</a>
To post something in an iframe, use the following code:
<iframesrc="http://www.mernetwork.com/index/forum.php"></iframe>
For the moment the only thing I can think to is that I'm happy this ended soon!
yeah the whole thing was just weird, and it did look like some school scam which is the last thing we need...
Random thought morning thought. If let's say for instance it was her dad.
what if he thought he could combine the words "mermaids" and "adverts" unbeknownst to him that "merverts" is something that we as a collective group of people use to mean something entirely different (mer perverts as opposed to mer adverts) ?
Upon first glance it does look like an advert for a school.
:Then again the creep factor of streaming this forum is... :/ :
Well he quoted mervert so it was intentional

^which is why i mentioned the creepiness of the streaming
It never aired. There were a lot of reasons Shelly retired her mersona.Quote:

I've searched high and low and can't find a place to stream it. It aired on Discovery Channel Asia. It was a show called Forbidden. They were on an episode called Odd Man Out.Quote:

It showed Chris skateboard a lot and sunset kisses on the beach.Quote:

It aired in North America last summer. I thought it was only Canada but some American Friends saw it too. It originally aired on the Asia chanelQuote:

That is a real shame. I for one can attest that the media can scarcely be trusted and does enjoy sexualizing virtually everything!
I saw it awhile ago too. I found it on youtube. And yea, they made it like she was a weirdo, like those people that eat hair...
It actually aired in several countries. A few mers who were in it gave me the episode number and name cause they were really excited about it- there were lists of the show's episodes and when they had aired when I was looking for it (I just never found it available for streaming on the web) and saw it had aired quite a few times in other countries. A few other mers said they had seen it as well, one wanted to send me the file of it but she couldn't figure out how to make that work. So I watched it with Raina when I went to Halifax this summer- she had saved it on her DVR since I said I was interested in watching it :)Quote:
