    Set up the cats' fancy-dancy, new litter box. Set me back about $400, but I am hoping it will take away some of the hassle of cleaning it / take away some of the mess.

    Should all crimes be equally punishable?

    Having crimes be equally punishable is a perfect way to handle a world of blacks and whites, but not a world with shades of gray, i.e. our world.

    How Do You Perceive Time?

    Time is a valuable thing. Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings. Watch it count down to the end of the day. The clock ticks life away.

    Have a couple days off, so I started playing Lies of P, a new Souls-like videogame where you play as Pinocchio in a dark-fantasy. It's pretty fun so far! How's everyone else?

    I haven't looked at or participated in one of those in ages. I could be wrong, but I have always come out with the belief most of them aren't very effective beyond a superficial increase in traffic. Honestly, a lot of the old ways of doing things no longer work.

    What *should* you be doing right now?

    I have a lot of things on the docket. I need to hook up my new dishwasher, I need to work on laundry, and I need to hookup my new self-cleaning litter box I bought for my cats. Of these, I only absolutely have to do the latter.

    I Write Books.

    The first novel I wrote was called Black & Yellow, originally released in 2016. The novel was envisioned as a superhero novel, blending black-comedy, action, and horror to create something unique. I have touched it up a couple times since I first wrote it (I originally wrote it back in 2012 when...

    I Write Books.

    Hi, I run a small independent company called Mishmashers Publishing, and I write books. In this thread, I would like to spotlight some of the stories I have written over the years.

    Search before creating a topic

    It depends, I think. "What's your favorite color?", for example, doesn't really offer much substance to it. However, if you have a thread about, say, "The Legacy of Martin Scorsese," and it has hundreds-and-hundreds of posts talking about each film in his filmography, of deep, thoughtful...

    Short posts

    Not every thread warrants discussion. In those instances, a one sentence / one word reply may be appropriate. At the same time, I do wish certain posters weren't so unwilling to elaborate on their opinion and share it. Often, you will have threads of "Nopes" and "Yeps", and it makes things feel...

    Flood Count/Limit

    It depends on the forum. Some communities (and some posters, for that matter) associate success or worth to their Post Count. You see a lot of spam. Forums like this one (but not this one, not yet) see a lot of it because users want to get their "contributions" out of the way, get their "Cash"...

    Forum Friends

    In '07, I met a user named Reap3r252 on a wrestling forum. Since then, I have run multiple websites with him, and have talked to him off-and-on for the last sixteen years. People who I have a deep emotional connection to are in short supply (I would say, maybe, half a dozen) and he is one of them.

    What makes you want to be staff on a forum?

    I used to want to be. I don't anymore, honestly. Back when I was in high school, I had a lot of time and I wanted to feel useful, productive, so I frequented message boards. I remembered wanting to be on the Staff Team on many forums I had been on (and was Staff for more than a few of them). I...

    Do you buy extra controllers?

    Any time I buy a console, I always buy a second controller for my wife. Then, before too long, I will buy a third controller when I start to see one controller showing wear and tear.

    Could forums overtake social media?

    I believe we may start to see the ideas begin to morph, and, in some ways, they already have. Reddit and Tumblr are examples where the ideas kind of blend together. The larger, mainstream-ness of social media will always stump forums, but that doesn't mean there won't be people who seek out the...

    Where did you register your domain(s)?

    I usually register off my host (Dreamhost.com), I have a lot of domains under my name, but I don't seek out "deals," per se. Just buy the domain. Even if my idea botches, I'm always certain to at least pay off the server cost on most ventures.
