    Using an online survey to help gain loyal visitors

    I'm one of those people, to be honest. I'd rather put my thoughts/opinions on what I want to see added or removed in the feedback section, rather than a survey. Besides that, will those things even be accurate? I suppose it depends on the memberbase. I'd never use this on any forum I have...

    My Goal to Stop Smoking

    Hey, that'd be an idea. Put it in your wallet/billfold, and when you go to take out your money/checkbook/whatever you use to pay for things, that'll remind you not to buy those. Nice idea, Evil Eye.

    Late Phone Calls

    Our home number isn't listed in the phone book either, so the chances of us getting a wrong number call is very slim. It does happen, but not as often as it could if we were to be listed, though.

    My Goal to Stop Smoking

    I've never smoked, and I have no desire to ever start either. I have asthma, and that's one of the major things that triggers an episode sometimes, depending on how bad the smell is. I've also heard that chewing gum could help you ditch the cravings. My step-dad used to smoke when I was younger...

    What are you listening to now?

    Earlier I was listening to Time 2 Duel from the Yu-Gi-Oh soundtrack on Youtube. Love that song. Another one I like from the same show is Face Up, Face Down. Pegasus (sp?) actually has a pretty good voice and he's easy to sing along with as well.

    Video Games

    Sometimes I play. If I'm bored and there's nothing better to do, then I'll get out my video games and play. I still enjoy video games, though not as much as I used to. I love getting new games every now and again for something new to play.

    New Year's Eve

    How come you had to wait for the clearance to go back anyways? Were you ill or what happened?

    New Camera

    Aw, that's gotta suck about the nasty weather. Hopefully it clears out for you soon so you can try it outdoors! Congrats on the camera, Nebulous! I think that's kind of something how now days cameras are coming out with a camcorder feature. That's pretty cool.

    Urghhh, Can not study!

    I never have been good at quizzing myself. I had special needs when I was a student, so as far as studying went, everything had to be done just so so that I can at least attempt a psasing grade. I was more apt to do better if I had a study guide in front of me, then I at least would have some...

    New Year's Eve

    I'm not surprised, to be honest. New Year's Eve is the one time of year where people think that just because it's a new year, they can drink and drive. New Year's eve is not an exception to this rule, unfortunately, and it's always been that way. But it seems like every year you get a few people...

    What Did You Get For Christmas?

    I'm kind of the same way, really. I didn't expect to get anything this year but I got some nice stuff. From my step-grandmother I got a sweatshirt that can mostly be worn around the house, but it still looks really nice. All the men in her family got a pair of loungers, which is basically...

    Batteries in the Freezer

    I have never heard of this method before. That's actually really interesting.

    Staff & Emotions

    We tend to take each situation on a case-by-case basis. If we do ever get mad about something, e.g., something that a member is doing to the point where it's really driving us toward the edge, we usually vent it out in the staff room and we staff members will talk about the incident in question...

    Theme Change

    I know of one site that had the same theme since it opened in 2007. It's still on PHPBB2 and while the themes are nice, they are kind of outdated. Otherwise I'd have a few mods I'd be requesting right about now.

    Theme Change

    We usually change the skin around holiday time. Actually, what we do is we take the default theme and switch it up a bit by modifying it so that it looks a bit more festive for the holiday. Other than that, we don't ususally do too much switching up.

    Urghhh, Can not study!

    If the problem occurs more often than it should, I would turn everything off and go find a place where I won't be distracted by things like forums, favorite tv shows, etc. They say that if you find yourself doing a good job with studying, you should reward yourself with a little treat every now...

    Blockbuster closes 180 stores

    Unfortunately I don't live in California. Sorry. Those do sound like decent deals for used DVD's and VHS's though.

    Where is Santa? (Norad)

    I love this site. My mom got the link a year or two ago from an online friend, and it's fun just to go on there and find out where he's at. Right now: Current Location: Taj Mahal, India Next Stop: New Delhi, India

    Blockbuster closes 180 stores

    You're not alone, Nebulous. I too prefer actually going out and buying/renting movies rather than shopping online. I only shop online as a last resort, and that case is only if I can't find anything even so much in a second hand shop.

    2011

    Hopefully in 2011 I'll have a job that doesn't affect my asthma symptoms. I work as a housekeeper currerntly, but my asthma acts up so bad, especially in the summer with all the pipeliners and construction workers, and I tend to call in sick more during the summer because of it, so hopefully I...
