  1. What are points? Like weight or something?
  2. Mahmoud Ahmanywieunfrui483jad made a great Halloween costume. (Yeah, I ditched larry craig for him :) )
  3. No deer down here, and I don't think seagulls have an official season...so...err... But, yeah, no deer; and I'm not the biggest gun/hunting fan as it is.
  4. Jeremy has always reminded me of [bleep]e from the land before time. :P Ep was good. "You total noob..." "Did you just call me the n-word mf!?" :D
  5. That alone makes me scream 'omfg NO'. Tip.It does not need to jump onto the 'Web 2.0' bandwagon and go adding all these useless AJAX based features. It adds bloat to the code, slows down load times and usually results in annoyingly slow rendering because you get a page that then sits there waiting for the JS to execute. If you want to remind new users of the search button, use a single line of php to spit out a note when a users post count is under a certain threshold. It could fairly easily be placed right above the subject line in bold letters and saves the pain of loading something like jQuery just so people don't have to click another link and actually think a bit. That'd probably be even better, then they wouldn't be able to have an excuse if the other search thing didn't catch something. (which it probably wouldn't) Ajax is useful sometimes, but, yeah, when scripts overrun the page, it turns crap :(
  6. Yes, so let's confuse the heck out of them more. Unless you forget when you first came to Tip.It, Tip.It Forums is a large scary place, and to get the nerve to post a topic in General, or OT requires a little extra oomph. I agree to this, but I disagree. This is a good suggestion, and would stop the duplicate annoying topics by a lot, but it would also be annoying to appear every single time. Unless I read it wrong, where there is no extra page loading with this? If it's on the same page as the create a Topic/Reply area, then it wouldn't be too bad. But then again, since Admins didn't want to increase the amount of signatures, how can they do this when it'll appear every time someone makes a post? Is it fair to the dial-up users? *I'm not sounding mean, and I'm probably out of context here on the last few sentences, but think this over, as it will probably be used against Tip.It to raise the signatures whenever they are discussed about again, nor reply or quote me on the last bit as well, I won't respond to it* Well, as a little clarification with that, it would be ajax based, so when you type up your subject, and you click out of the subject box thing, (onblur), it would have a little floating div appear underneath it with the titles of posts like that of your subject, and links that would open in a new window, so you could quickly check and see if it's the same or not. I;m not too sure how it would be layout wise, though. It could be a div with a really high z-index, but then it would go over the bbcode and stuff, and be annoying, or, it could just be a normal div and expand and stuff...I dunno.

    Astrology

    Aww...beat me to it. I'm gonna go with a Carl Sagan quote here: I maintain there is much more wonder in science than in pseudoscience. And in addition, to whatever measure this term has any meaning, science has the additional virtue, and it is not an inconsiderable one, of being true.
  8. Well, yeah, but it'd be more of a heads up for people who "forget" to search.
  9. So what would it do if I got the virus? Just send the same thing to all my friends? I don't have it, I'm just curious. Well, it would depend on what was in it. You would have to unzip/unrar it with a program like winrar or winzip (which I think is what that icon is), and there might be an exe or something inside that could be a virus or something. Other than that, they are usually used to compress large files/groups of files, like a picture album or a movie or something, to free up space and make the files smaller.
  10. It would probably be a zip or rar file, or some other compressed file like a tarball or something.
  11. If anyone has used yahoo answers, this is what I'm basing this off of. So, basically, when you're posting a new topic, this would appear underneath the subject box onblur. It would run a quick search through topic titles (or possibly post texts, but that would be a bit intensive), and if it found a match, it would display the match, with a link, in a floating div. By far, this wouldn't catch everything, but it might help. The only bad thing that pops up would be that people would use this "watered down" search in place of the regular search function, and claim that "well, it wasn't listed in that..." (But I guess there could be a big link at the bottom of the floating div with a link that says something like "Don't forget to search!" or something :-k ) (Anyway, I'm pretty sure that this is possible, I have written code in the past to do just this, and I'm sure it can be spruced up pretty easily) Thoughts?
  12. Atomic Garden - Bad Religion It's a fast song, took me a while to realize what he was talking about, even with a title like "Atomic Garden", and even then it was just weird. [hide=Atomic Garden] Everybody wants do dance in a playpen, But nobody wants to play in my garden. I see the hippies on an angry line, Guess they dont get my meaning, Im enchanted by the birds in my blossoms, Im enamored by young lovers on the weekend, I like the forth of july, When bombs start flashing, And I wish I had a shiny red top, A bugle with a big brass bell would cheer me up, Or maybe something bigger that could really go pop! So I could make the gardening stop Come out to play, come out to play, And well pretend its christmas day In my atomic garden All my scientists are working on a deadline, So my psychologist is working day and nighttime, They say they know whats best for me, But they dont know what theyre doing, And Im glad Im not gorbachev, cause Id wiggle all night, Like jelly in a pot, At least hes got a garden with a fertile plot, And a party that will never stop, I hope theres nothing wrong out there, Im watching from my room inside my room[/hide]
  13. You might win by rule 14, but I'm not sure that you can really be proud of that. On Topic: The only reason I have a myspace is because some friends threatened to create one in my name and control it if I didn't. I'm not sure if they'd really do it, but just to be safe, eh?
  14. Nadril, you should probably just turn this into the general south park discussion thread :P
  15. I really haven't been around very long (though I'm glad I joined when I did, any earlier, and I probably would've been stupid enough to get myself banned and ditched this place as a whole), but, looking back at my first posts, I've matured a lot. And twenty bucks says I'll look back here in as little as six months and call myself [developmentally delayed]ed. I've come along way, and there's still a long way to go. Anyway, I remember indy telling me off for repeatedly bumping up a tread. I got pretty pissed off at him, I was fresh from RSOF at the time :XD: TifCon and The Post Ranom pictures thread were fun times =) EDIT: I've just realized that tomorrow I'll have been here a whole year. 8-)
  16. Step 1) Don't. There are already g(64) runescape fansites that get 1 or 2 visits a month; and there are already several established fansites, this one included, that people are going to choose to go to over yours because they are already established and have all of the information already. Unless you can offer something that all these established sites don't already have, what initiative do people have to visit your site instead of sites like tipit, where they have pretty much everything. Anyway, if you really want to, I would assume you have no idea about web design? You'd probably want a WYSIWYG, so that you could use it to "make" things like tables and stuff, and then learn from the code. (Hey, that's how I got started =) ) If you want your site, or any site in general, to be successful, you need to keep the layout nice, and clean. There are only some things a WYSIWYG can do. And for your particular site to even remotely work out, you need to learn html/xhtml before you attempt anything, you would hopefully have a team of people to help you out, and before you even get started, you have to think, Why would someone want to visit my site over tipit or any of the other established sites? nvu would be a good free wysiwyg editor, and if you could afford dreamweaver (even at student price : ) .I only use it now because it has syntax highliting, and that little function drop down thing which is a big time saver when you're writing giant blocks of code :P

    Misfile

    Follow the white rabbit Vashiel... :XD:
  18. Next april fools, they should add a grayed out bump button to the top of the posts XP
  19. That stickers awesome, where did u get it? I took found the colbert pic, erased the background, and then added some text and stuff.
  20. I actually don't see much of a difference, but you could always try to change ff's default font and size. Tools -> Options -> Content Tab -> Fonts and Colors Groupbox
  21. Closest thing we've ever gotten (that I can remember) was like 10 minutes of light hail last year (or the year before, can't remember), and, if you could count it, they set up one a little ice skating rink down at the pier a few years back. It was pretty fun, you bike down to the pier, along the beach at like 7pm, (it's still like 70 something degrees out), and then you can ice skate down there on the beach.
  22. I haven't. :cry: On Topic: As much time as I feel it needs. Hell, sometimes I'll type up a post, and then just exit out, and not post it. It all depends.
  23. iTunes gift card or one of those prepaid visa things. Easiest. Gift. Ever.
  24. Yeah, pretty much all the schools down here, even mine, have bans on PDA's. I dunno why it's as if this just started happening :-k
