Welcome to ace's Happy FAQ, and if this is your first time at ace's Happy Homepage I welcome you. If you have any additional questions other than the ones below, feel free to e-mail me.

ace's Happy Chat Zone

We appreciate all the people that have taken the time out of their busy schedules to come down and post at AHCZ

ace's Happy Homepage

ace's Happy Homepage was started by a man with a dream. A dream that one day we could all join hands together and go to ace's Happy Homepage and waste our time.

ace's Happy Torture Chamber

Soon after I had looked around and noticed the absolute lack of an AHH, I also noticed the lack of pages that actually try to torture you, and succeed.

ace's Happy Temporary Server

After ace's Happy Homepage was created the constant restrictions and rules of a certain sever forced ace to start the planning of a new and powerful entity, an entity called code name: ace's Happy Server. Many problems were soon encountered and the project ace's Happy Server was put on hold. So for now ace has decided to have a temporary server, meaning its only there when ace is logged on, making temporary, hence its name ace's Happy Temporary Server. ace's Happy Temporary Server holds in its powerful grasp countless ace's Happy related avi's and lots of other important non-ace's Happy files. (god knows what good a non-ace's Happy product is but you have to keep the public happy)

ace-1 in general

ace-1 is such a splendid creature, your little mind will naturally have questions about his amazing powers.

ace's Happy Club

Due to the extremely large, and powerful following that ace's Happy Homepage had gotten, ace-1 wisely decided to turn that into another senseless part of the ever growing and expanding ace's Happy Empire.

Compound Acronyms

Sometimes during the usage of acronyms you will come across what is called a compound acronym. These are usually very rare things, but you should still be prepared for them. A common example of a compound acronym would be something like, "Hello tre, have you checked out the new AHTC AHA?" That would be translated into, "Hello tre, have you checked out the new ace's Happy Torture Chamber ace's Happy avi?" Now as you can plainly see when they're both said in their original unacronymed state, it sounds very confusing due to the repetition of the ace's Happy, this is why compound acronyms exist. Now I'll give you another quick example, "Hey you! Have you downloaded the newest version of the AHQC AHAO?" Now lets see if you can translate that yourself. Give up? Well the translation would naturally be, "Hey you! Have you downloaded the newest version of the ace's Happy Quake Clan ace's Happy Add On?" Now that you've got the general idea, why don't we try letting you make one up yourself. Here, I'll start you off, "Hey mom, I was wondering if I could go over to Jimmy's house and watch his new ____ ___?" "Why sure you can Johnny, just make sure that you clean up all of your ___ ____ before you go." "Thanks mom! I'll see if maybe I can bring you home a ____ ____!" Now if you handled that last test fairly well, I think that you're well on your way to excellent compound acronym creation.
 

Inverted Acronyms

The field of inverted acronyms is relatively knew, and extremely dangerous if used wrong. Inverted acronyms should be avoided if possible, but used if the need arises. The need for inverted acronyms is to make an acronym simply sound better, or to avoid confusion in its reading. A good example of an inverted acronym would be HCZA, which translates directly to The Happy Chat Zone of ace.  Now notice two things about the translated acronym, the addition of the words The and of. These two words are absolutely crucial to the translation and this is where the novice will make their mistake. Now the inversion of AHCZ would merely be done for flash and style, there is really no practical use for its inversion, but inversions have a very delicate purpose for certain acronyms. Certain acronyms must be inverted for added emphasis or to simply point out a certain thing to the viewer so it is not overlooked. Now lets "make up" an acronym for the more practical demonstration, how about AHAA. Now lets have AHAA translate into ace's Happy Audacious Aardvark. The inverted form of AHAA would be HAAA translating to The Happy Aardvark of ace that is Audacious. Notice the addition of the bold words "that is" those are to emphasize the fact that the Aardvark is indeed quite audacious.  Now to invert an acronym about an Aardvark to point out its audaciousness is merely for emphasis, the other use of the inverted acronym is to avoid the monotony when creating complex compound acronyms.  AHHTEGHWA is so far the only official triple compound inverted acronym in existence.  As you probably already know, AHHTEGHWA stands for ace's Happy Homepage Technical and Essential Guide to the Happy World of ace.  Now if we break it down to each individual part we might be able to understand it more.  The first part of it sticks out, AHH.  The second part, is TEG, and the third the inverted AHW, HWA.  Now the AHW doesn't need to be inverted, but listen to how it would sound without it, ace's Happy Homepage Technical and Essential Guide to ace's Happy World.  Now I don't know about you but I think the Happy World of ace sounds a lot better and cuts out the repetition of the ace's Happy.
