  1. im keeping the snake, i can handle her just fine....

     

    I didn't mean to make it seem as if you couldn't handle it, but that the snake itself may not be able to handle the continued stress of being a pet. IMO there are some wild animals that just don't make good pets, and I consider snakes to be on that list. Every animal is different though, if you can pick the snake up easily without it putting up much of a fuss than it will probably be fine.

  2. On the other hand, I doubt that the farplane will be made so it adds postcount. Threads can't really be deleted, rather they are just moved into a garbage dump, aka the Farplane. This would make it so even if some loser was just coming and spamming things that were offensive so they could get to 15 posts, they would still retain their postcount even after mods cleaned up his posts/threads.

     

     

    The idea wasn't to change the Farplane itself, just the way it's used. I want to keep it so people can't post there, and that post moved to it don't count towards a person's post count.

     

    The only thing moved there now is spam, but if older threads went there as well. The post counts of less active people would go down. If they get to low they start to lose privileges. I understand the idea of wanting to keep relevant threads around, but if people see they're filled with opinion wars they will be less liking to join in. Move the old stuff to an archive that is still visible but just can't be added to. This allows a new discussion to start that hopefully would be more inviting to those put off by the content of the older threads. 

     

    You would still keep the important threads like the irc tutorials but the general discussion could probably do with a refresh every once in a while.

  3. Are you intending on keeping this snake permanently, or just for a while? I generally follow the idea that wild things belong in the wild. From what you have described it seems tame enough to keep, but I still think one from a pet store would better handle the stress that would come from being a pet. I don't want to come off as if I'm trying to put down the idea of you keeping it either, because I can't even remember the number of creatures I brought home as a kid. I'm just trying to say that it may be a good idea to step back and think about what you will be putting the animal through.

  4. I'm just throwing out this idea for the sake of getting it out there.


     


    What about hitting the reset button. Move all post that haven't been posted in for six months and maybe a few other more trouble prone threads to the farplane. Use it as a way of trying to rid this place of all it's built up baggage.  Have the farplane continue to not count towards a person's post count so people lose crusader/+ status if they don't post often enough. Then lower the post count requirements for some of the higher rewards so it doesn't encourage the regulars to spam.


     


    Hopefully this encouragement would get people talking to each other enough that the grudges could be put to one side and forgotten.


  5. I still haven't finished this user style yet, but I'm going to put up a link to what I have so far. The only known issue at this time is the text editor. It should work on any chromium based browser that has stylish installed. I haven't gotten around to checking Firefox yet. Another issue people may run in to is user name colors. I couldn't find a way to map the styles to a general group so they have to be done manually. This unfortunately means that the names will only show their style when you are logged in. I'll add the link to the first post once I have it uploaded.  


  6. So I've been playing around with Stylish lately, and thought I'd ask if people here wanted to start a kind of repository for member made User Styles. To anyone who doesn't know, Stylish is a browser extension that allows you to customize the look of websites. There is a version for both Firefox and Chromium.
     
    I also want to say that my CSS skills are badly outdated, so the one I've been working on has tons of bugs.
     
    Edit: 6/28/14 updated script
    The Code for my User Style below is set to work in chromium firefox. The Chromium version still has a few bugs left to sort out, but you can use this with chromium if you comment out/delete the @-moz-document - { in the first line and the last } at the very bottom.

  7. A world without religion would be a world without morals. Human beings are born selfish. If you disagree with this, why do we have to teach small children to share or not to lie to keep from getting in trouble (protecting oneself at possible expense of others? sounds like selfishness to me)? even better question, without religion, why would sharing be considered a good thing, something to be taught? morality itself is an act of unselfishness. religion provides a higher purpose than selfishness as reason for action.

     

    I think morals come more from evolution than some religious belief. There are plenty of examples in nature of animals that work together and share in order to survive. These animals are usually at the top of the food chain. That's because many are greater than one. I think religion gets credit because we created gods before we figured out evolution.

     

    I think a world without religion would be a world where intelligent thought reigns supreme.

  8. She peed on my bed when I moved. 

     

    Ahahaha, my sister's cat will do that too. She'll also pee or crap in the shoes of people she doesn't know. Anytime a new guest comes over they have to leave their shoes on. 

  9. I think I may have found a bug with the %7Boption%7D tags. When I add a linked image(like in the post your desktop thread) while code view is selected. It borks the %7Boption%7D tags as soon a I hit the preview button. It works just fine when pretty view is selected.


     


    Not sure if this is a known issue so I thought I'd bring it up.


  10. Please explain. What is wrong with 'the rest of it'? I see nothing but improvements, excluding the start menu of course.

     

    'The rest of it', is the fact that it's not designed for a desktop. The whole point of paying extra for windows is the ootb experience. A new OS version should offer 2 things over its predecessor: a better more stable core, and a gui environment that is easier and more efficient. Without that, all you have is a really expensive game console, which is what Windows 8 turns your PC into. I will agree that the core of Win8 is better than Win7, but Metro is about as easy and efficient as Windows 3.1 

     

    [hate rant]

    The charmbar, imo, is poorly designed. I see my mom constantly closing a maximized window by accident when going for the charmbar.  It shouldn't be somewhere that an accidental mouse click could close what your working on. It should pop down from the top when the cursor hits the top somewhere is the middle. There is also room on the start page, they could have easily added it there.

     

    Apps launched from the start page go straight to fullscreen view, and hitting the Esc key does not allow you to exit out of it. Imo, this is also a design flaw. What it should do, is exit to the desktop with a windowed version of that program open. 

     

    My biggest single complaint about Win8, is the fact that I'd have to brake out a shovel just to shut my computer off, that is stupid. I shouldn't have to dig into the charmbar to shutdown, and I also shouldn't have to sign off first. There should be a shutdown button right under the sign off button on the start page. Until labtops come equipped with an infinite battery charge, I want to be able to turn mine off.

     

    There are more complaints that I have with Win8, but since it's my mom's labtop, I only ever see it when she calls to complain about how it doesn't do something her old computer did. I'm tired of having to go and stand over her shoulder to help her do something she could do just fine in Win7. I can understand Microsoft wanting to try something new, but it shouldn't be so new that your customers have to learn how to use it all over again. This is the reason I won't be using Windows 8 on my desktop, because I'd rather switch to linux if I'm going to have to learn something new.

    [/hate rant]

  11. I've decided against migrating to Windows 8, because imo, it's not designed for a desktop. I'm not loading extra apps just to make it more usable either. The new start menu is starting to grow on me, but there is too much stupid with the rest of it for me to forgive. I don't see 8.1 changing my opinion either.


     


    I may try a tablet or phone that comes with it, but for the desktop, I'll be using linux. 


  12. However cats don't normally smother you like a dog does. A dog will lick you to death while a cat will just sleep by you. 

     

    I think this depends on the breed of cat or dog. When my cat isn't sleeping, he is either climbing on me or following me around the house. My sister's cat is the exact opposite, she doesn't care if you give her attention or not. She does her own thing, which is usually strutting around the house with an attitude.

  13. Haven't posted one in a while, so here is my current desktop. The theme is my sad attempt of making my own, and is based on the DieHard4 theme. The bottom right corner is a naked vlc.
     
    I'm not sure what all the artifacts are about. I'll have to screw with it tomorrow and maybe put up a replacement shot.

    Edit: I switched out the images with a different one, but I think the artifacts came from the host I used. I also think I found a bug with the %7Boption%7D tags. Using them in code view seems to bork the image thumbnails.

     

  14. Most people doing this are probably using AviSynth. It's not easy to learn, but with a gui like AvsPmod the learning curve would at least be smaller. MeGUI is another option to try, and it will make piping the video to the encoder easier. 


     


    If you're just wanting an easy gui based editor, like sony vegas, you could try Lightworks. I haven't tried it yet myself, so I don't know how good it is. I've been keeping an eye on them because they're working on a linux version.


  15. And animecrazy just shut down, that's 3 sites in less than 2 weeks gone.

     

    I'm not really familiar with this site, but I found a thread on the forum that talks about the closing. Links to that forum seem to be blocked, so I won't share the link here. From what I've seen in that thread they're telling everyone to migrate here. Maybe you could find your answers there.

     

    If you really want to see the thread you can pm me and I'll share it with you. It seems they're only going to keep the forum up for a few more hours, so you may miss it.

  16. I don't think L4ugh is advocating people to shut up unless they agree with others, they're saying there are ways of disagreeing with each other that don't involve being sarcastic, condescending, or abusive. Yes, we're all guilty of doing this--that doesn't mean we can't strive to be better about it and acknowledge that acting this way isn't conducive to a safe forum environment.

     

    Yes, this was exactly what I was trying to say.

     

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

     

    It wasn't a strategy, it was a view on it and I don't do it to members who misunderstand, I do it to idiots who spam posts or post something absolutely in the wrong place because they just do whatever they feel like.

     

    It doesn't really matter what you call it, it's not our job to enforce the rules. I get just as mad as you do when I see people posting this way, and I know how hard it is to not rage on these people. The problem is nothing you do is going to change their behavior. Leechers don't care about having a heated discussion with you on forum rules, they just want to download anime. A heated discussion is exactly what a Troll and Ani-tard are looking for however, so all you'd be doing is giving them what they want.
