Good work getting back online people, glad you got the gap closed and the site back up and running.

A while ago I stumbled upon a series by Lyn MacDonald about WW1. She wrote a book about every year of that war, based largely on letters, military orders and things like that. Does a great job at completely wiping the floor with some ideas the british high command had at certain points. (like how they pretty much stumbled into the Gallipoli campaign without proper preparation, picking a beach to land on with high cliffs around it (Turks had a fieldday there picking off the ANZAC landing troops under em) So I ifnished 1914 and 1915 and now I'm reading 1916, 2 more parts after that (ofc)

I don't see any problem with it.
Of course, there are the morons who think that if they date/marry a person they have to adopt a stereotypical persona of that person's race (e.g. a white woman marrying a black man and suddenly having a taste in rap music and wearing dark-tone makeup and wearing weaves in their hair). I guess it has more to do with people wanting to fit in since there's still somewhat of a taboo against intermarriage, especially in the South.
With "the south, I'll assume you mean the South in the USA? aka the former rebel states from the civil war? I know my basics of USA history, but not every little bit of it, despite my fascination with history...
Now I'm going to bed for real, it's 3AM here, damn myself for not keeping an eye on that....

the "problem" isnt't mixed breeds in my case, it's the opinion on islam/immigrants in general, which are often looked upon as one and the same.
I've never even gotten to a point where a discussion about immigrants could be brought to a proper level, let alone get beyond that point and talk about "other races in general", LET ALONE mixed breeds. I always grew up with this feeling of "everything's ok" with my parents, but recently that image took a hit in my mind, and that, I'll just be honest, troubles me........
Edit: my grammar checks get a bit rubbish at 3am when I've had some alcohol.... I'm hitting the hay now, let's go on about this tomorrow

When i was still in "normal school" (can't come up with the proper english name for the state school till your +- 17) I was good friends with a couple black girls, and also guys from the middle east, asia and places like that. I never heard any "read between the lines" kind of comment about those girls since they were adopted very young and therefor had "dutch" names, but I remember about 1 guy in my class when i was 16/17. he was called Ismael, a turkish/morrocan name obviously. At the time I didnt think os anything my dad said when he asked wether i had friends in lass and i said "yea sure, i get along good with Hans, Tim and Ismaël, among others" but looking back at it I think he slightly frowned upon the last name.
Currently I study archaeology, I'm inthe 4th and last years so i follow a specialisation, a different study that might or might not have something to do with your norml school. you pick it yourself and I, since I study archaeology and I like WW2, went for the closest WW2 thing I could find, a training for history teachers who will specialise in WW2. There's a lot of ppl from turkey and Morocco in this class, which I mentioned at home once and I think dad frowned upon that. Never broughti t up again
Then again, he also "frowned" upon my music taste at first (metal) but nowadays just ignores that/ got over any questions bout that/ I dunno.

I agree that it could have given the wrong ideas, but they never discouraged me from having the right ones, which are luckily the ones that form my core beliefs and principles today. And I'm not sure how you could explain such delicate social problems to a child at that age. It's definitely something I need to be prepared to handle for when I become a parent. (And boy, that's on the top 5 questions I'm going to have a hard time handling...)
Same for me, it could have given the wrong idea, which I think it hasn't, but it did give me a bit of a problem thinking about my dad etc, nothing big but well, i'm 20 now, it becomes an issue when you really start thinking about it and they (he and my mum) don't want to discuss about those things. Thb that't giving me some food for thought every now and then, like right now when I'm home alone for a week. (yes I still live at home at 20, my college is less than an hour travel, i'm not moving if I don't need to eh:P)

part of me understands the problem, and part doesn't
I understand Kimberly's point of "protecting your child from harm" but on the other hand i feel you are giving the wrong signal to your child by doing so.
I completely understand why your parents said that, it's to protect you, but on the other hand I think they send you the wrong message that way (ofc not saying you picked that up or anytihng, just the fact they did imo)
It's a bit the same here, though my parents never made any point of my friends, but tbh I'm not sure how well they knew my class when I was like 15, 16. I was never the popular kid, in fact useually the one being picked on. Maybe that's part of the reason I always link up with "that kind of people", the less popular ones, the outcast. Which, in our school were also, the black, brown, and shy people of course.
Now i probably got most of my problems from being an autist and not knowing i was till I was 16, but nevertheless.
edit: spelling errors fixed, hope I got them all
Edit2: For years I always felt my parents were the super open-minded very acceptable type, since they always said "we don't care who you come home with etc etc etc" but maybe I just failed to read between the lines. LThe last years though, I feel more and more differences between mainly me and my dad. It's useually just arguments about stuff in the news and he blames it useually on me being "only 20 and not having enough life experience etc". But I just feel like I'm a lot more open minded about things like different religions, immigrants and whatever else. But a while ago we had a little argument about the whole immigration thing again and he just more or less cut it off and refused to talk on about it, which left me wondering how he really thinks about it. But I don't feel like bringing it up again.
Now that last part probably sounded a lot more dramatic than it should have, but I can't word it better, blame autism for that:P

I can be short bout that, no. They'r too busy making money, releasing micro-transactions and ignoring bots as hard as they can.
I mean they released free trade in february and so far have made the statement that we have to remember that they are primarily a company, which means they have to make money.
-
Well, bots took care of most moneymakers, be it fishing, wc, mining and a lot of combat.
Be prepared for a bot infestation in F2p especially. For what i hear bosshunting is still viable, but you need the skills for that ofc
-
Sounds interesting indeed. Maybe this is even a way to frustrate the bot armada (being F2p I have no idea about wether they can do slayer etc or not but I would think this would make it a lot harder for em)
And ofc it breaks up the monotone training of *I gotta burn 10k maples to get level X*
You have my support
-
First and only is cooking
did it together with a friend.
At this time he has also gotten fishing, wc, fm, str, magic, crafting and smithing and i'm still at only cooking:P

Go for a low population world, maybe a foreign world is a good idea. I often use foreign worlds for just about anything
-
I believe you spawn in the last hub you visited, for example edgy, varrock etc etc. So if you die in the wildy it's quite likely you entered through edgy. Thus edgy is the last visited hub and you spawn there
-
Maybe you'll like At the Gates
-
Okay, then i'll just dump em. thanks for the info guys
-
yeehaw, I have gloves i can't use. Anyone P2p here interested in testing if you can trade em? (probably not but what the hell, you never know these days) Theý'r useless to me anyways, if anyone interested in testing if they'r tradeable, i'm in Fog world 20 :) Just pm
edit: why do I have the feeling this isn't by accident?
-
Okay, that explains part of it. 5K was a coincidence then. but why the hell give em to me, a F2p
-
I just gained 5k charge in a Fog match and all of a sudden i get this screen where i can pick a reward.
There were 3 rewards, all 3 gauntlets and all 3 good against certain attacks (melee, range or mage)
I picked the ones strong against mage, only to find out it's a members item.
Anyone else gotten this?
if so, are they all p2p?
And am I right they aren't in the item's database yet?

most laptops have no problem with that, i have mine for about 4 or 5 years already, regularly do that, no problems with it.
don't worry about that
-
Then you have a problem. I just logged in between my post and now and i have no issues whatsoever, so its probably not due to RS itself
-
If you tried logging in quickly after the connloss runescape might say you'r not logged out yet. How long ago was the last time you logged in?
Maybe you just have to wait a minute or 2

I have a removed digit password that looks something like this:
removed
I think that's enough to prevent anyone from brute force hacking his way into my acc, and if they use some really powerful program, they can crack anything.
Yes, it took me a little while to memorise that cause there is no logic at all in it. But after a few weeks of typing it its crammed into your head and you never forget the code.
Ofcourse it's not much securer/less secure than a random word with some letters substituted wit numbers. Just dont use your name, birthday, girlfriends name, or well, anything that makes sense.
EDIT: I wouldn't go sharing details about your password.
