Green Day Lashes Out At Wal-Mart Policy
Green Day is making a big deal out of nothing. Wal-Mart has rules that they have to stick to. It's not like they're refusing to sell Green Day's album for no reason. They have a reason - their rules. I agree with assassin_696 100%: Wal-Mart isn't obligated to do anything. I love Green Day but this is just silly..

Signature change - please state your opinions
I've never been a fan of it, but it's your signature so the decision should be yours - not ours.

If charms were tradable..
This thread belongs in Questionnaires, but we already have a thread like this there so I'm locking yours. Feel free to share your thoughts here: If charms were tradeable, how much would they be? Thanks :)

Zackcerny.com is now live :)
The image is broken only on: http://www.zackcerny.com/ But it looks fine at http://www.zackcerny.com/index.html :? EDIT: Now it's fine on both :P And now the alignment looks fine :lol: Did you change it since I posted? Or did it magically fix itself? Lol :P

Zackcerny.com is now live :)
I'll expand this later, but just at first glance, your portfolio button image is broken :P EDIT: Your images don't seem to be aligned properly. The first row looks fine but the second row is far too high up - it's not centered in the box.

Exams
I only had one exam and I've already taken it and received my score 8-) This year I took the following classes: World Religions - We had a final project, but it was insignificant. No formal exam. AP English - We had a final project but again, no formal exam. Robotics - We had a lame final project that we did in class that took like 20 minutes. No formal exam. Calculus - We had a final project that we spent a week of class time completing. No formal exam if you receive an A- or higher in the class (which I did). AP Computer Science - I had a formal final last week and received my grade yesterday. I got a 95% :)

upload avatars/signature picture
We could on the old forum, but we are not able to on the new one (well not so new anymore :P).

upload avatars/signature picture
If you want to use an image for your avatar that is on your desktop, you can still do so. All you have to do is upload the image to a free image hosting site (such as ImageShack. After you upload the image to that site (or any other free image hosting site, like [Censored for time being] or PhotoBucket, etc.), you will receive a URL for your image. Copy that URL, return to your Tip.it User Control Panel and paste that URL in the text box. That being said, I would still like to have an option to upload avatars from your computer directly. But just know that it's still possible to use your own image :) You just have to take a few extra steps first.

School Start Times
What's with all the schools that start/end at weird times? Like one ends at 3:32 (instead of 3:30 or even 3:35) and another starts at 8:56 (instead of 9:00 or 8:55 even).. just seems so silly :P

Reading
[hide=] From what I remember they were really good books. Really interesting, I dont remember if the series is over though. :? One of the posters that I passed said that the final book was released just recently (May 5th). And thanks for the review, they definitely sound very interesting. I'm looking forward to reading them :) DO IT. I started reading them when the first one came out (I was in 5th or 6th grade, I'm in 9th now). I've always liked Greek mythology, so I naturally liked the series as well. The last one did just come out, but I've been reading The Silmarillion as well so I haven't had a chance to finish it yet. The only thing is that they're aimed for a younger audience, but that means it's an easy read, which is always nice. I think I'm going to go with 1984, Animal Farm, Brave New World and the like this summer. Though I'm pretty sure I'll have a ton of free time, and if they're anything like what I've heard, I'll be done pretty quickly...Who knows. Yeah I don't mind an easy read. I'm pretty used to them actually. The kinds of fantasy books that captivate me tend to be written for younger people. The more difficult/adult books just don't captivate me as much (story-wise). [/hide] Well I started and finished The Lightning Thief today and LOVED it. So I ran down to the bookstore and bought the series. I'm so mad at myself for missing the event at the store two weeks ago. The author was at the bookstore signing books and probably spoke or something. But the bookstore had a signed copy of one of the books left over (book four) so I was able to buy that! It's not as fun as getting it signed myself, but it's still cool to have. I'm like 1/3rd of the way through the second book now :)

Worlds most 99's at one time?!?!?!
Pretty much what Smapla said. If you would like to start a discussion, please create a thread that contains all of your ideas. Otherwise, as Smapla said, it's pretty much just an advertisement.

Smithing and Herb questions.
abc1230 and skylor12344: enough spamming/flaming - BOTH of you. You were both being rude and hateful towards each other and in doing so you were both violating the Tip.it Forum Rules. If you see someone posting spam or flames, you should NOT reply to their post. Replying only provokes them to continue, as made evident by the posts that I have removed. So instead, you should just report their post so the moderators can deal with it and then ignore the post until it is removed. I would encourage both of you to reread the Tip.it Forum Rules to ensure that this does not happen again.

21st Century Breakdown
I love Green Day and hopped over to iTunes when I saw this thread. I listened to all of the 30 second previews of the songs (which doesn't allow me to make a 100% fair judgment, but I tried :P). Honestly, I was a little disappointed. None of the songs really stood out to me and a lot of them just sounded similar. Before making that my final opinion, however, I'll have to listen to some of the entire songs, rather than 30 second previews which may not do them justice.

School Start Times
When I first started high school it was really, really confusing (as you would expect). But after a while I got used to it. I guess I just like it because I always get out earlier than I did in middle school :P And it works because we have different activities going on different days and a different amount of classes. On Mondays and Fridays we have all seven classes but they're only 45 minutes long. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays we have five classes at an hour long and on Thursdays we only have four (again an hour long). But on Wednesdays we also have a short 30 minute assembly and on Thursdays we have a 45 minute assembly. So you have each class four days a week. Again, confusing, but you get used to it very quickly. And actually, I've had a different schedule for each of the four years that I've been at my school. For each of those schedules, we've had the same basic layout (each class four days a week, all classes on Mondays and Fridays, get out at a different time every day, etc.), but they've been moving around the activities like our assemblies and a few other things. I've heard that they're trying to decide on a final, hopefully-never-have-to-change-again schedule for next year.

School Start Times
How does that work out? Do you mean how do I like it or how does it physically work? :P

School Start Times
I would rather start earlier and get out earlier. Then I would have more free time during the day. My high school gets out at a different time every day: MONDAY Start: 8:15 End: 2:45 TUESDAY Start: 7:45 End: 2:25 WEDNESDAY Start: 7:45 End: 2:55 THURSDAY Start: 7:45 End: 1:50 EDIT: We also have a few other Thursday schedules. We have a 45 minute assembly on a regular Thursday (as mentioned above), but occasionally we don't get out until 2:25 if they need to extend our assembly for some reason. We also have late start days where we start at 9:25 and end at 2:25. And we have early out days where we start at 7:45 and end at 12:20. FRIDAY Start: 8:15 End: 2:45 And my middle school was always from 8:00 - 3:00.

Some areas of the forum should require a certain postcount
Well Questionnaires does not increase your post count, but the rest of what you said is very true. Post count is not a measure of maturity. The OP says that certain forums should be restricted until a user gains a reputation (of like ~100 posts or something), but that reputation isn't always a positive one. There are plenty of people with high post counts and bad reputations and/or a long list of rules that they have violated.
