<*sees a train of huge Pokéballs suddenly roll past and run Alg over*> Banned because it looks like you've just been hit-and-run-over by a ballsy situation. :twisted: ~D. V. "That has to hurt..." Devnull

Moving out -> limited internet [2GB/month]
Avoid social networks, anything else with live streams, and anything that will download massive amounts of data (such as upward of ~1 MB-4 MB in one go) like huge flash applets and java applets. Heck, you'll probably have to avoid RuneScape until you have better internet, due to the large data chunks that load when you're changing areas, as well as what happens with every single game update. :( Don't clear your cache, but never let it fill up large areas (like, 3 GB, which is way beyond too much) of your computer's hard drive either. A maximum of 140-160 MB(Slow computers)/256 MB(Midrange Computer)/384 MB(High-End Computer) of disk space for your browser's cache is honestly all that's necessary and can be used without suffering real performance issues, and that's at a level where you can let the browser auto-determine when it needs to clear parts of that space for other data. Anything more is normally literally a waste and will slow things down, as I've come to learn the hard way, so only use more if you really have to. :mellow: I would suggest turning off display of images on sites (If you even still can...) unless you need to see them, or you will eat up a good chunk of that data limit. Also, use AdBlock Plus and NoScript to keep the extraneous junk scripts/ads/widgets out, in order to make a reactive defense against those, or your data limit will be reached extremely quickly. (Yes, I admit you'll have to manually control AdBlock Plus and NoScript, but the payback on lack of junk is well more than simply worth it, and you even get to see all of what a page really doesn't need. You may even find it scary, being that there are tons of analytics companies that are profiling you while you're not even looking at what pages load, and even to an extent where you lose bandwidth from background auto-pings!) :geek: I hope all my thoughts here help you in some way, and good luck at the university that you're going to! :thumbsup: ~D. V. "Trying to help beat away bandwidth drains..." Devnull (p.s.: Just for reference, those junk ads/scripts/widgets out there have forced me to build a total of 1414 active filters in my AdBlock Plus build... but all that work has saved me a lot of time!)

The 'You're Banned' Game (over 38,000 banned!)
<*watches Blaze step outside of the Barn, only to have a pair of giant Ultra Balls drop from the sky and land right in front of him*> You're Banned because of issues with big balls? :P ~D. V. "I'm going to be surprised if anyone else can ignore how dirty that sounds..." Devnull

Simple... He could have easily made the mistake I've made before, and failed to hit the Post button until long after someone else posted. What's worse, I've actually seen the forum server (and client side forum pages) fail to tell a user of other posts being already present. Danged ugly bug, but excusable once in a rare while. ~D. V. "Of all the things that can make you go 'D'oh!'..." Devnull Only excuse I have is an enriched wisp probably spawned while I was in the middle of posting and I forgot to press enter! I thought as much. That new skill is a real attention-distracter, isn't it? :geek: Yup. :P 2*37*373 = 27602 :? ~D. V. "Especially this one..." Devnull

Meh, we'll let that post live in the "I Got Ninja'd" Hall-Of-Shame. And I'll probably pwn them on the next one. :P ~D. V. "I'll be grinning then." Devnull Dude, he posted about an HOUR after Gandalf, how can you possibly call that being ninja'd? Simple... He could have easily made the mistake I've made before, and failed to hit the Post button until long after someone else posted. What's worse, I've actually seen the forum server (and client side forum pages) fail to tell a user of other posts being already present. Danged ugly bug, but excusable once in a rare while. :geek: 3*9203 = 27609 <-- Ugh... freaking oversize prime number!!! #-o ~D. V. "Of all the things that can make you go 'D'oh!'..." Devnull

Corrupt a Wish (IT's over Nine Thousand)
Granted, and everything that was thought to be cute never gets noticed ever again. Such results in the word "cute" being removed from the dictionaries, both slang and normal. :( I wish nobody could ever lie again, especially in a malicious manner. :P ~D. V. "Let's see how this is handled......." Devnull

<*watches the barn fill up with Film Reels and Master Pokéballs, leaving a narrow path for Blaze to reach the doors*> Banned because I can also use your avatar against you. :P ~D. V. "It was sitting there, so I thought I would joke non-offensively about it." Devnull

Hi
I wish they'd indicate the ban on the left pane, then... It used to be they did that, which would make it more easy to not post on a banned user's thread. :( ~D. V. "Oh, the features I miss..." Devnull

Hi
Welcome to the Tip.It (aka: Rune Tips) Community, @Desole. Please enjoy your stay, watch out for the lunatics, and come play in the Forum Games! Yes, of course, don't forget to check the rest of things out... LOL! :lol: ~D. V. "My siggy's out-of-date..." Devnull (p.s.: Did I just post on a banned user's thread? Or perhaps a suspected bot's thread?)

Okay, how did you see me coming around 51.5 hours ago? :blink: @Gandalf14141 :) ~D. V. "Just a hair surprised..." Devnull

The 'You're Banned' Game (over 38,000 banned!)
Banned because "apologies" is actually a real word, and Dictionary.com Mobile @ http://m.dictionary.com/?submit-result-SEARCHD=Search&q=apologies says so. :geek: ~D. V. "It's hard to contest a reliable source..." Devnull
