  1. Hey, glad you mods could make it, sit and stay a while, chips and dip are over there, along with the beverages.

     

    Also, I have had one official warning, and my fair share of "unofficial" warnings.

     

    I will admit that we give out more unofficial warnings than official ones, but sometimes those official ones are needed.

     

     

    Munchies are always welcome.

  2. So, any reason this ain't a poll?  :-"

     

    Wouldn't that be better for such a vote?

     

     

    No, because then you wouldn't have to post who your favorite was, you could just vote and no one would know who you voted for. Also, if you guys try to vote for yourselves, this way we know.

     

    Last I knew we could only do one vote just like everyone else, so it really wouldn't have made much difference. This was can be more constructive though. - and amazingly I haven't seen the arguments in this thread that usually happen.

     

     

    Fionavar, aka the Green Dragon.  :)  Haven't seen him on these boards in a while, though. 

     

    He is on vacation. A very well deserved vacation imho.

     

     

    What happened to that mod who used to go crazy with lockings, warnings, and bans? I think her name was Adria, or something like that.

     

    I have no idea. She fall off the fact of the earth last year after during hurricane season.

     

     

    Sorry, fellows, but my favorite mod is Phosphor.  (See the wisdom of that choice?)

     

    Great choice!! I second that.

     

     

    However, some of the people behind the moderator tags are interesting when they participate in discussions. That sort brings a small advantage to the big green lizard as well as Eldar and "Authority" and a disadvantage to guys like Battlewookie and Shadowstrider, as I don't think I frequent the same sections as the latter when they post.

     

    When these boards started, I had decided not to participate much in the form of posting with everyone else. I do on occasion, but have seen bad things happen to good people when they think favorites are being played. If I don't participate in the OT talks much, then I can't be accused of anything. - also, with KotOR I got burnt out quickly, so i haven't posted in there much, though I still read.

     

    Does Antimatter still exist or did he go the same way as Seraphim ?

     

    Seraphim was only with us for the first few months. I believe that between real life and problem children he realized that he didn't have the time he thought he did.

  3. This is a true story and was the First Place winner in the recent Criminal Lawyers Award Contest."

     

     

    Only in America.  ^_^

     

     

    Recently the border patrol stopped some mexicans and asked if they were citizens. When they said no, they were asked if they were here legally. They replied no. BP detained them, and they were set to go back to Mexico. A judge ruled that they needed to be released because the BP was profiling.

     

    The fact that they ask that question even of people who don't look Mexican doesn't matter.

     

     

     

    In an unrelated issue, the Mexican government says that it is the American Governments fault that people die crossing the desert to sneak into America. (w00t)

  4. It is just a database error, when there are too many simultaneous requests for the server to handle, it bounces some out without knowing the exact state of the write transaction (whether it succeeded or not).

     

    In my experience, it has succeeded. The server just isn't sure.

     

    You can either post topics when the fora are less busy, send off a check to Obsidian to upgrade their server farm and forum software, or ignore it.

     

    :ermm:

     

    Obsidian is aware of it. I know this because Fionavar and I have pointed it out to Admin. We both get it from time to time, but we have found that our posts go through even when we get it.

     

    Also, we tend to get that at strange times, so I don't think it is a peak hour thing.

     

    If other people are getting it, make sure to let us know. For a while, Fionavar and I thought it was only the mods who were getting that error.

     

    Also, I haven't noticed it to happen consistantly. If someone gets it everytime, then we probably have something else to look into.

  5. In any case, why did you see Barb Wire?  Was it because you heard it was an excellent story or something?

     

    After watching the opening for BarbWire, I really wanted to watch Flash Dance again, but I didn't watch much more than her limping off the stage since she was missing a shoe.

     

    Sex has been said to sell in advertizing for years. Why do you think the Bikini teams sell beer?

     

    Sex in games isn't new. It was definately in pixelated games since 1990, but for some reason it is now seen as a terrible thing.

  6. I start up my trial version of 3DsMax7 and I discover that there doesnt seem to be any quick button for changing the view(zoom, scroll, tilt etc.) but each of those functions except scroll has to be selected by clicking an icon..

     

     

    This cant be right, can it?

     

    As I recall, you use the mouse to zoom in and zoom out as well as to move from one side to another. When using a roller ball it makes more sense to me than using a regular mouse.

  7. Nope, players can roll for themselves with dicebots.

     

    Really? Well, that takes quite a burden off! :D

     

    Speaking of which, I tried using a dicebot very recently on my recent venture through IRC although I can't get it to work. I installed it and everything into my channel, however, when I type "roll d6" or whatever in my own window the dicebot window doesn't carry on with the calculations... Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong?

     

    Is it in the channel with you so that it can see what you are rolling?
