    Anti-spam Questions during registration

    I have a learning disability, and math never was my best subject in school, so of course I had to use a calculator. For Captcha's overall, I prefer the simple one where you're just typing out letters correctly, well, the ReCaptcha or whatever that advanced one is called. Not the simple one...

    New Skin Added

    This actually looks pretty darn cool. I came on and my first thought was, Oh crap, I came to the wrong forum! I kind of like the background yellow scheme, that's really cool. Nice one!

    Gel Mouse Pad

    Those do look nice, you guys. We just have a regular mouse pad that does have a deal to rest your wrist, but it's not gel though. That'd probably be more comfortable to get a gel one, though.

    MySpace loses 10 million users in a month

    If they'd quit doing constant revamps to their site and getting everyone confused on what's where, they wouldn't be losing this much money or users! That's what's screwing everyone off is the constant updating they do to that site. It's ridiculous, and the #1 reason why I don't use MySpace...

    OMG! Online abbreviations make the OED

    What is this world coming to? Now they're allowing text talk being used in every day language, when it's practically banned on most forums? What do people think they are playing at with this?

    Read the rules

    Well, I don't read the rules right away, but like I said, I will do a quick check of them if there's something I want to do but I'm not sure if it's allowed, or else I'll do it when I'm bored, but I do agree that with a couple exceptions, a lot of forums do seem to have the same sort of rules as...

    Read the rules

    I guess that's one way to do it. As long as it's not something that'll likely get you into trouble, that's the main thing, really.

    Participate or die

    I get emails like this sometimes and if it's a forum I never cared for in the first place, I'll think, well, if you want to delete my account, go for it! Not a very nice way to inform someone that they've been inactive for a while.

    Read the rules

    I've had people say this to me on forums before, and personally, it's a major turn-off right there. I do read the forums rules, so I don't exactly need to be told to read them. Or else I'll check the rules if there's something I want to do but I'm not sure if it's allowed or not. Otherwise...

    No Staff Online

    Wow, now if that isn't pathetic, I don't know what is! It's pretty obvious that the site has been abandoned and the staff no longer cares about it, because if the members and bots are having a free-for-all, there isn't too much else as to what that could mean. I've seen a few sites like this in...

    Anti-spam Questions during registration

    I got that same question. I actually had to get out my cell phone and do the equation on the calculator feature, and even with the calculator, I still got it wrong! Thankfully I got a different question that actually made sense the second time around. And no, that wasn't necessary, because not...

    Dealing with internet trolls?

    My best bit of advice is to just ignore them. No point in trying anything with them as that will only aggravate them even more and make them cause even more chaos. Your best bet here is to just keep ignoring them.

    Warnings / Infractions

    I completely let power go to my head this weekend, and this is something I've never done before and hopefully it won't be happening again. I misread how a moderator had worded something in our staff lounge and infracted him for it! I felt really guilty about this and I made apologies both to...

    Using wikipedia descriptions

    Fullmoon, if you really take a look at our posts, what we're saying is all facts. No one wants to read something that's simply been copied/pasted from some news source, although it's an entirely different story if you're on a forum with a News section. When you give your opinion or your giving...

    Using wikipedia descriptions

    I actually agree with this, Jazzy. I mean, it's okay if you want to use something from a source like Wikipedia every now and again, like if you seriously have a hard time comprehending something, but I'm sure the requester in general really wants you to say what's really on your mind about the...

    Arguments

    Just staff posting and no members? I can picture this if it were a brand-new forum, but for a forum that's been around for a while like that, that does sound pretty desperate if you ask me.

    Mother caused rickets in daughter

    I guess there is such a thing as overdoing it with sunscreen! I thought the higher the SPF (or whatever that's called) the better off you were with protection. Evidently while that may be true, like with any other medications, there are always risks involved when using them.

    Biggest frustration?

    I know. My biggest pet peeve is going to submit a post, and you get that babble that you must wait so many minutes or seconds before you can make another post. This especially pisses me off if I don't have time to wait around all day to be able to submit just one post. To be perfectly honest...

    Australia floods: teenagers use blow-up doll as flotation device

    I'm not surprised that they got told off by the police. Some things like that are only meant for swimming pool toys, not exactly flood current life savors.
