The Hang Out Thread

[Leen]

Luckily we still have this place. :spaz

[metalanime]

yup, hopefully it doesnt get infested

[Succubus]

hmmm, Eileenting88 is a Moderator.. xD you've got many posts.... o___O you like this place...

[Leen]

Indeed I like this place and it's people here. Everyone is like a family.

[Succubus]

Family!? LoL, whahahah... xD

[metalanime]

im gonna eat a chicken burger.

[Gold Knight]

Apparently it was actually our server guy shutting NF down to work on it - today, of all days, on RAW day!

Anyway, it's back up now.

[Succubus]

I know, but NF is gonna to slow tooooo... X.x

[Gold Knight]

Tell me about it. It's impossible for me to scan the Avenue at the moment due to NF's slowness, because I'm using a dial up connection. So for now, NF will have to do without me, until it gets a little faster.

[nah-nah]

is everyone gone?

[deerjing]

[TheMexicanKingVII]

Let me be the first to say Adobe customer service, in other words blows balls. I been on hold for like 20 minutes, and then they tell me that the service can't be reached until tommorow.


God damnit I need to activate my damn shit.


Well on better news, winter break is only a week more to go, god I have sacraficed so much for the last 2 month's of class, I gave up pretty much all forum life and any on-line life at all. Well as you can tell because I'm going on and on, that I am rather enjoyed about this.

I will most likely get to work on my forum, read up on my forums. I also have plans of doing a nice free sig set about 21 in all and get rid of them, of course with customers I'll be working my ass off for some extra cash. Then it's CAP Vs SNK tournaments.

:D

I have a bad news ...
In france, the government is going to vote on a law against "freewares" on the night of the 22nd December.
If it is approved, we won't be able to download any fansub or anything, or we'll be considerer hackers or anything else ... And it does not only implies manga, but EVERY freeware ! Encrypting too, of course ! Many french sites are going to close...
Yes, it's astonishing, but it's a reality !
Help us by voting ! http://eucd.info/index.php?English-readers
Or i'm really going to have a bad holiday :(

[Akasun]

(lucky for me, i'm in america :darn) but seriously you have my sympathy! :crying

[Leen]

Oh NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's soooooooooooooooooooo bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How can we help u ???? I feel so sorry for the people in France. U should post that in NF and see what the reaction u will get. Seriously, I feel bad about the whole thing.

[nah-nah]

Aw man, that's horrible... I really hope it doesn't pass. :(

Yeah, eileen's right.. you'll get a lot more responses to this kind of thing at NF.

[deerjing]

Is the NF down again?

EDIT:
Well, I give up. :sleepy

[Gold Knight]

Well, maybe it won't be approved. Best of luck, Maggeus =/

[Leen]

Looks like NF is down again.

[MaggeuS]

Yep, NF is down again ... :(

[deerjing]

One day, a bunny ran across a road.
Suddenly a car came in a high speed.
And then BUMP!!
The bunny was knocked down by the car!
Guess what happened next.

[Leen]

The bunny die?

[deerjing]

Guess again.

Try to figure out an interesting ending.

[chauron]

If that goes thru in France .. it'll soon cover all EU. Neat, man...neat.

[Leen]

Where are u from then, Chauron?

Will that affect u too?

Deer, I am not creative when it comes to things like that. :darn

[deerjing]

:darn

[Dyroness]

Bleeeeeeeeeh >________<

[deerjing]

Huh?

Dyro-chan, do you know the answer?:amuse

[chauron]

Dyro, we need your forum again ;________;



Where are u from then, Chauron?

Finland.



Will that affect u too?
Yes, if it applies here too.

But i aint gonna stop reading manga cos of this, needs more.

[deerjing]

:smoke

[kool-ka-lang]

err.....is the forum not working?

[chauron]

err.....is the forum not working?



Server Maintainance break.

Not hijacked..

[Dyroness]

That better be, who told you Chau? ^_^

[Leen]

I dont think it's hijacked too. NF just need some blood transfusion now. Apparently, the leeches have come in a great amount and suck up all the NF's blood. Dont worry, NF is still in the ICU waiting for the right donor to step up and donate the much needed blood. Once the blood transfusion is complete, NF will be moved to a normal ward to recuperate for a few good hours and eat some eggs to restore back the blood. After that, NF will be as good as new and will be discharged from the hospital again. :woo :woo

[deerjing]

Is the forum being fixed now, chauron?[br]Date Posted: December 19, 2005, 12:13:27 AM_________________________________________________

So, the leeches will be killed then?! O_o

[Leen]

There are several ways to prevent leeches from sucking NF's blood again.

1. Wear thick clothes as protection. If the clothes are too thick for the leeches to suck up the blood, NF is safe.

2. Cut down an arm or a leg of NF and feed it to the leeches. That way, leeches' attention will be diverted into the chopped arm or leg and suck at that limb instead of the main body but the main body will still be able to move.

3. Get some sulphur and sodium chloride and put them on all the leeches. That will remove the leeches from the body temporarily but once there's no more sulphur or sodium chloride left, leeches will come back again. So we need to make sure that we have plentiful of anti-leeches chemicals in our store room.

I'll post more if I can think of them.

Or chop them into pieces? :darn
Or burn them? :oh

Hope the NF has enough blood for the leeches to suck. :notrust[br]Date Posted: December 19, 2005, 12:25:32 AM_________________________________________________ I'm bored!!! :yelling

[TheMexicanKingVII]

Well I'm going to hell this 25th since my family isn't celebrating christmas this year. All I know is I need to get laid before the year ends, If I don't.....then that will be 11 month with sex and one month without it, which if I can get this month then I will have a pretty good record.

[bebong]

[Zenith]

[Gold Knight]

It's funny, because ALL my Mexican friends like to talk about sex. =D

I'm just staying home for Christmas.

[khalajp]

hey howzit all anyone from sa here? coz therez this cool thing that lets south africans on vodacom to download stuff quicker and faster wit motoro;a fone

[Gold Knight]

You're from South Africa, khalajp? Welcome to the boards :thumbs

[Anax]

Hey, there's a thread called "NF forums got hacked" where njt says some incomprehensible to me things, since after all I don't know what happened! Can someone tell me or is the matter a taboo? I see njt has disabled replying in that thread so I couldn't ask there :(

[Gold Knight]

Well, there was a hacker, who I won't address by name anymore, who managed to bypass all the various protections that NF had - and redirected it to a different forum called Maddox, apparently to cause trouble.  NF wasn't the only forum affected, as the forum at animesuki.com, which shared the same server, was also similarly hacked and redirected. 

It took three days for NF to be fixed, but mbXX, the guy who hosts our server, wanted to take the time to figure out a better security system and to ensure that it wouldn't happen again.  So it took a week for things to return back to normal.

The reason NJT didn't want a thread about it to go any further here was because many people were using it as a platform to throw out curses at the hacker - and we just didn't want any kind of bashing going on here.  It encouraged a kind of spamming frenzy that was more of a negative nature.

...and that being said, I've deleted that thread.  It's in the past now. ^_^

[TheMexicanKingVII]

That happened to NK a while back, but with some legal work we worked things out and got a nice sum of money. On to better things, FINALS ARE FUCKING OVER AND I AM FREE!

I shal celebrate with a drink of bacardi and mountain dew!

[deerjing]

I can't enter the forums again.

Anyone else?

[bebong]

Holycrap,hacked again??T__T
Hey, look at this PSP game:

http://www.naruto.cn/News_Show2.asp?NewsID=242

[deerjing]

I don't even have a PSP. :crying

Hey, it's RPG. :nuts

[bebong]

T__T Me too, bt my bro has it. he won't lend it T__T Narutimate hodouble T__T a new rpg gameT__T

[deerjing]

We have the same fate. :crying

[bebong]

T__T Anyways, slight guess... Not naruto narutimate hodouble but naruto narutimate *portable*??

[deerjing]

Huh?

[bebong]

portable...LOL..Naruto is now....'portable'

[deerjing]

I am going to find something to do.

[moridin]

anyone in, I've gone back to vectoring oro.

[nah-nah]

vectoring oro, moridin?

[moridin]

yeh, the big page from 289

[Gold Knight]

Ah, of course - how could people NOT do anything with that double spread? But it'll be interesting to see it colored since there's probably so many ways to do it.

[moridin]

yeh, I might try colouring it at some point but I am not all that good so I'll probably just leave things to the 'professionals'

[Anax]

So many many Naruto videogames... I hope one is released on PS2 in Europe... Wish I had all consoles, all games and access to The End of Time from Chrono Trigger, the place where time does not go by. That'd be the only way 'cause now I have neither time nor money 8X My parents might buy me PS3 someday... Well, if I had a job I'd never pass a single class (I'm not a good student) and I'd spend my money on things that would make me study even less! Well, if nothing we all have this manga (those blessed with something better than dial-up even get to DL the anime).

[bebong]

I got NH3...Ultra fun...KH2 too :smile-big

[deerjing]

I'm here to say Hello.

[Gold Knight]

Hello ;)

[bebong]

why hello here??

[nah-nah]

I should be getting ready for work, but i feel so lazy today. ;__;

[Zenith]

why hello here??

coz this is the hang out thread? lolz.

[nah-nah]

Today is going by so slowly. ;___; I wish I was home in my penguin pajamas.

[BlackPearl]

hi any1 here?

[Zenith]

Hie BlackPearl. Welcome to the place where we all hang out and chill~

[deerjing]

Good morning.
It's 10:45 am here.

[bebong]

good afternoon, it's 12.43 here, anyways, 2 more chars in NH3 and my lil bro suck up coz is can't play KH2 T__T

[Zenith]

Darn...i have the game...but no ps2..lolz..guess i have to wait a while longer till my friend gets back. :(

[nah-nah]

I don't have any of the naruto games except for the first NH. ;___; I feel so behind.

On the bright side, I got Karaoke Revolution Party yesterday! I'm so happy. <33333

[Anax]

Don't worry Nah-Nah there's always worse! Kinda like me for example...

i) Didn't even know FFVI was released on PSX, in Europe... YEARS ago, untill Monda
ii) I have no Naruto games.
iii) I have very few of the games I want.
iii) I'm making no money, yet more games are being published all the time (not to mention new consoles)
iv) I got World of Warcraft which has a monthly fee, I'm a subscriber in 2 magazines (one monthly the other is pulished every 2 months), I might be starting Ninjitsu lessons next month, I'll be getting DSL next month... The less money I have the more I hate it.
v) World of Warcraft == I live in a net cafe and hang out with people who don't laugh... they "lol" -.- (latest expression: "OMG and 3 lols")

[deerjing]

Good morning.
It's 11:45 am here.

How's everyone doing? ^.^

[Anax]

I'm about to go to bed, it's 6:07 a.m. here :D

[Zenith]

Happy New Year to all! Have a wonderful day and year ahead. Let's all continue to grow as a community and have fun~

[Leen]

Yup yup, let's grow bigger and better. Well, except the fact that I will be leaving in the next 24 hours. :crying

[Gold Knight]

:glomp It sure won't be the same without you, Eileen, so hurry back when you're home in April, okay???

[Anax]

Yeah, hurry back Eileen! :hug

And Zenith... why is it important for forums to be ridiculously gigantic? We'll never get to know each other if there's like 1 million people around the place!! Just think of the thread count *dizzy*

[Zenith]

Actually it's not that important to become REALLY BIG..but lots of ppl = more diversity and more fun. :D Anyways, we all know each other already since there are only a couple of members who are active in posting.

[deerjing]

Sis will surely be home during the Chinese New Year!! :wtf

[bebong]

Hey, I just went bak from shanghai and there is 2800 NEW MEMBERS!?!?!?! wow

[deerjing]

That surprises me too!! :nuts

[Zenith]

yeah it's kinda amazing really....i have no idea how the number of members increased like this either. Probably it's njt's doing.

[Anax]

Actually it's not that important to become REALLY BIG..but lots of ppl = more diversity and more fun. :D Anyways, we all know each other already since there are only a couple of members who are active in posting.


Hope I'll be known around the place one day too. Kinda like Audiogalaxy (then again such days may never come again, but hey)



yeah it's kinda amazing really....i have no idea how the number of members increased like this either. Probably it's njt's doing.

Not really...all the things here don't add up to the point where you wouldn't understand what we're conversing about. This is the hang out thread where we well...hang out. Lol. And welcome martin. :D

[bebong]

But don't forget that you'd be missed here too ;P

[nah-nah]

I miss the cozy environment of MH. I'll be around here more. :)

*goes to post on eileen's thread*

[Anax]

Hey, Martin! You like cats? :tem

[Martin]

Yes sir I do. Cats are fun xD
We have a dog tho.. Will find a picture of her and put it out on the
Pet thread thingee ;)

[Anax]

Two days ago I watched the movie "Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey"... the cat was just loveable!! And the movie was great too, without the cat though it'd have been a lot less great :D

[Martin]

:) Sounds fun. Was it a animated movie, or a 'normal' with voices on the animals? >_>

[Gold Knight]

Anax, you're the most cat obsessed guy I know ;D

Is this typical of Greek men? :amuse

[Leen]

I think it's just Anax. Indeed, he is very obsessed with cats, I'll say.

Anax, what actually make u love cats so much?

[Dragonzair]

My brother loves cats too. XD

[nytrogyn]

I like cats. But i think my nose is a bit sensitive to them.

[Anax]

@GK --> I differ a lot from other Greek people and yet I'm still Greek in many ways. My Greek friends say I'm weird but an overall good guy, those who don't like me say I'm a wacko ("Poor people are wackos, rich people are eccentric"). Cats are, I guess, one of my obsessions that make me weird to some. For the record most Greek males (I say "males" becuase women refer to us as pigs, donkeys etc. [j/k]) I know don't like cats, in fact they try to kick 'em when they see them, which kinda makes me mad...

@Nytrogyn --> My mom has the same problem... It's one of the reason that I wouldn't get a cat after mine died, even if I wanted to.

@Eileen --> Let's see... why?

I) I've always lived near cats (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat)
II) Tabbies are like bonzai versions of tigers
III) They are so agile and so "classy"
IV) They can be pretty twisted in nature... have you seen a cat torture a mouse or other small animal?
V) They have beautiful eyes
VI) They assume all sorts of postures that make them so adorable :love
VII) They are so clean and...
VIII) Watching them clean themselves is so pleasing
IX) Different cats like different styles of play, yet they all are so much fun to play with
X) In Egypt they were supposed to be avatars of Bast (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bast_%28goddess%29) and Egypt (along with Japan and China) has always been among my loves :tem
XI) Cat faces are so adorable that I like taking pics of them and also use them as avatars (like this one I'm using now, found in Wikipedia and edit by Eileen :hug )
XII) Cats are as clean as their food since they lick themselves, and also are highly independant
XIII) Cats are my weak point... I can't resists them and when walking home with friends, whenever we see a cat they all say in tandem: "Ok, goodbye Anax, we'll come pick you up from here tomorrow =) "
XIV) Ultimately none of the above reasons stand out individually... I'm just trying to think of logical reasons, but none really come to mind... I just sense the cats around me and my heartbeat changes when I look at them... It's a mystery I care not explain rather accept. In fact I feel glad that there is a thing in the world so easy to find that makes me so happy to simply look at :tem

Sadly, a few days before leaving Kavala for the Holidays a kitty I was playing with tried to cross the road and got run over by a teenager with a girl in the car, a poser who was running on a road 6 feet wide, with a zebra crossing that didn't have a traffic light (i.e. people pass whenever they want) plus there was a crossroad there... It seemed like the cars wheels broke the kitty's ribs and squished its lungs... it took well over a minute for the kitty to stop shaking. I just sat there feeling worthless for being unable to do anything, silently cursing the poser who had to drive so fast in such a road...


@Martin --> It's a movie with actors and voice overs for the animals. The main character is a dog by the name Chance, voiced by Michael J. Fox (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000150/) and the loveable cat, Sassy, is voiced by Sally Field (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000398/)

[Miso]

w00t - so many infos about cats - I'm impressed, Anax! :o

I've got a cat as a pet if you can call it that. They surely have their own mind.
Here's a photo (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/20294011/) if you're interested.

and btw: what's really typical to be Greek?
It's difficult to label ppl only by their nationality, isn't it? ;)
I couldn't even say what's typical for Greek. I'm German. I don't know what's typical for German either :darn.

[Gold Knight]

I was joking kinda about that, Miso :D

It's never a good idea to generalize anybody by their people.

BTW, I guess I should sticky this thread, doing that.

[bebong]

my internet is busted for the past 3 days

[Miso]

I was joking kinda about that, Miso :D


Yeah... I did know that you weren't serious. I was just pondering and and babbled about this stuff :shakefist

[Anax]

Miso you are both right and wrong, although individuals differ greatly there are some basic character traits that can be even called "national traits". For example Greeks cuss by calling the Gods names! Also, they generally enjoy good food with good company and a glass of wine :D They are generally outgoing and uni students are known to spend even all day at a café drinking Nes Café Frappé... Well, if I were a sociologist I might have said some more/less :sweat

Also, your cat is great and is sleeping like my dead cat used to sleep! Once I put a blanket on her and she seemingly held it with her paws!! She looked so human :tem

[bebong]

whaddya mean so human??? oh, anyways...i'm eating

[Gold Knight]

Anax means that the cat was holding a blanket = human, bebong. :amuse

Oh, Bebong, I challenge you to do a post that consists of more than FIVE sentences!!! Think you're up to it? XD

It's hell very funny "welcome to arnolds pizza shop" go die laughing there LOL

[Anax]

Arnie's shop would have been a great page to e-mail to friends, should Arnie kill the person in the background laughing frantically as if having inhaled lethal quantities of laughing gas... Really now, it would have been great. Too bad I know not of a single person that would make any sense out of it...

How may of people being online right now will watch the Olympic Games opening ceremony which is in about an hour?
(I guess I asked this question because I'm a bit bored sitting in a room, but I'd like to know will there be Three Hours Of Silent Truce here at MH or not). Let's call this a social and statistical interest. :amuse

[Leen]

I dont watch Winter Olympics and TV here doesn't show the live opening ceremony of it. Besides, it getting too late already if I were to watch the opening ceremony. So , no. I am not going to watch it but maybe I'll follow the news from th papers.

I live for the ninja art!

Too bad for you! That was quite boring, but there were some AWSOME moments. I bet you haven't seen and will never see a F1 Ferrari burning tires and circling few metres from worlds best athletes. :whoo :spaz

[Gold Knight]

That WAS a rather cool opening ceremony, though I was only able to catch some of it due to forum obligations :amuse

[ShgnLW]

Missed it :( But I saw Canada coming up with a hell lot of players. Then I saw another country who really tossed a coin to decide who is gonna carry the flag... :) (meaning that that country only had two players who participate the Olympic winter games).

Question: Is jamaica participating too? I recently watched a movie about a Jamaica team participating on the olympic winter games :d I see it happen. Four Jamaican men, smoking joints and sharing them with others :)

F1 fans? :glomp :glomp

F1 needs more love!!! :yelling

I am a loyal Ferrari fan for 6 years now since I first knew about F1 in 2000 and watched it. I even won two tickets to watch the grand prix live in a grandstand seat but too bad, I did not go. :crying My mother was too worried about my safety. She was not willing to let me sit on the plane with my friend to go and watch the race live. :s

[Anax]

That's an interesting thing to know about you (and also kind of rare in Greece for a girl). It would be the kind of thing to include in the 25-50 or more things about yourself! ;) :thumbs

Just letting you guys know I'll be gone for most of the weekend - got a photo job. Taylor will also be gone on a trip to Tokyo. Any of our mods will be happy to help you while I'm gone, however. Have fun.

[Leen]

BMW partners with Sauber this year and Williams is left with Cosworth engine. I wonder where will these two teams be in this season. Tyres changing is allowed again by FIA and Honda seems to be dominating the recent test in Bahrain. Rose Brawn said Ferrari 248 F1 is fragile. Mercedes have their cars painted orange this year. :s

Random thought: cars slowly destroy the Earth. Really FAST cars do it exponentially faster. And thats how I feel about emission producing vehicles. :amuse

Well F1 uses a special type of fuel that not made of natural resources.

[Crimson]

.... :neutral, um, sorry to burst your bubble but that doesnt mean its not emission producing... :noworry

[Gold Knight]

And what's wrong with destroying the Earth? :nuts

I envision a future where we'll have to do away with cars for a long while. Though I don't see it happening until maybe when my grandchildren have kids.

[Miso]

Perhaps they'll find an alternative energy for our cars so we don't have to live without them. There are already hydrogen engines (? dunno what it's called in English).

And on a site note: now that we talk about cars. My car broke on Friday. I was on my way home from library where I did some research for my domestic work and then it began to make weird chugging sounds. Fortunately the repair shop/garage was on the way so I left it there. I really hope it's not so heavily damaged that you can't repair it anymore. After all it's the 2nd car I have in 3 years, I don't want to make 3 cars in 3 years out of it. :darn

Dont think too hard on that one. Even the uber rich oil company execs know that our supply of fossil fuels will quickly dwindle. The conservationists give it to 2040 max. But even the petro hogs give it a 2060 deadline. Thats 54 years and counting till were at ZERO oil, gas, etc. Which means anything that uses oil, besides cars (basically half of every product in the world) will be impossible to make. And if you think the years seem rather close, google how many TRILLIONS (yes trillions) of gallons of gas the world uses every year. Honestly were not only in danger of the emissions these fuel powered cars produce, but also of running OUT of oil in general. There. Thats the outlook for your grandchildren :iik


Perhaps they'll find an alternative energy for our cars so we don't have to live without them. There are already hydrogen engines (? dunno what it's called in English).
That is what their called in English. And theirs only one line of possibly commercially viable, completely hydrogen cars in their prototype stages right now and its called the Toyota FINE line of Hydrogen cars. Im actually hoping they succeed in making these fully possible as I would like to own a car that HELPS Nature instead of destroys it.

[hatakescarecrow]

Well I'll live to see u crimson living without cars.
Hydrogen cars are very expensive at the moment.Hybird cars costs 2 times of normal cars.
Speaking of nature, what about dying wildlife, depleting resources and other stuff?
However the next best thing could be fuel cell cars.

The only reason Hydrogen and Hybrid cars are expensive is because of giant oil companies. If a non gas powered car was cheaper and more affordable than a current day regular automobile then they would be selling at a ridiculous rate. Already we see this happening with hybrid cars which have waiting lists (like the Prius) that the companies cant even keep production up with. If they were cheaper it would get to the point where people wouldnt be purchasing gasoline, thus possibly bankrupting one of the, if not THE most lucrative business in the world. In the end its all about greed.
And yes, deforesting, illegal hunting, and excessive use of non-renewable reources are also major worldly problems, but considering the few people out there trying to prevent these things I personally believe that we should tackle one major problem at a time with every possible helping hand.

[Gold Knight]

And that's your lesson for the day, kids.... if you're going out, try to car pool. =O

I wouldn't mind if cars went out of existence though. We have so many traffic accidents and things like that - and the more people we have living in this world, cars become pretty useless for getting anywhere fast anyway. Sometimes I can actually walk to a place faster than I can drive to it, at Knoxville. If we were restricted to only using trains and buses and things like that, at least in the cities, I don't think I would mind. I guess I'm just not a fan of cars, and the soon we're rid of them, the sooner we'll all be better off.

Your officially, in my book, super cool, :thumbs. Thats definately how I feel. Ive actually had various opportunities to purchase a car but ive found that the 30 minute difference to get from one place to ther other with public transportation as well as the insanely reduced costs makes a car purchase worthless right out of the dealership. Add emissions, plus resource depravation and uve got the most negatives ever for a vehicle. I live in the worst place for traffic, Miami, Florida. This place is HELL on weekday mornings and during rush hour. I once sat in my parents car for about 3 hours in one avenue, and we only got as far as about 4 miles. I never ask them for rides anywhere anymore because not only do they arrive late for work, but so do I. And we leave an hour earlier than most people do too. The metro rail train on the other hand is incredible. Somehow, even though its definately an old train system, I can get from one side of the county to the other in about 30 minutes. Thats about 40 to 50 miles. I think everything but travel that requires crossing bodies of water should be restricted to trains. And hey, lets follow the Japanese in this case, make them all bullet trains. They dont necessarily have to be speed of sound reaching bullets either. 200, 300 mph is DEFINATELY fast enough (speed of sound is on average about 670-680 mph at sea level). :yondaime

[Gold Knight]

That'd be perfectly fine with me. It'd also cut into stress as well. If I didn't feel like I had to personally deal with traffic while going to work every time I have classes at college or had a photography job, I'd definitely feel a lot less stressed. Personally without cars I think there'd be less of a rushed, unfriendly atmosphere in all the cities.

I would definitely prefer trains.

[Amaethon]

Guys.

Dyro's not around, so her forum can't be opened. I made another backup NF. Check it out.

http://s15.invisionfree.com/Backup_Backup_NF/index.php?act=idx

[geminis]

I guess I'm kinda late asking this but is there something wrong with narutoforums and narutofan since I can;t seem to get to the sites threw my internet search bar?

[Gold Knight]

Yep, it's been hacked and DDoSed - it'll probably be back up soon, in the meanwhile you can just chill here or at Matt's backup backup forum.

[nah-nah]

=___________________________=

I'm a horrible member.

[Gold Knight]

No You Aren't!!! And you're modded again =)

[nah-nah]

I'm hungry. Someone tell me what to eat for breakfast.

[Gold Knight]

Eggs, of course. Isn't that what Eileen taught you to always eat? XD

[Leen]

Eggs!!!! :nuts

Nah nah!! :glomp

It has been such a long time. I miss you soo much. :hug

How's everything going on with you now? Fine?

[nah-nah]

I miss you too, eileen. I miss your kind words and your sweet personality. <3

:hug

It's going better now that I'm here. I was afraid that I wouldn't be welcome anymore, but i was wrong.

[uncanny_sama]

does anybody know what happend to NF? its down for 3 days already :(

[Miso]

Welcome back Nah-nah! :hug
It's good to have you hear. I was eager to get to know you since I became a mod...;) so I hope I'll get the chance nowadays.[br]Posted at: February 21, 2006, 03:54:19 PM_________________________________________________

It was hacked.

[Leen]

It will be back soon, Uncanny_sama. Unfortunately, it is down for the moment just like last time. =/

nah nah, of course you are welcomed here. Everyone is welcomed with open arms here. :hug

[nah-nah]

<333 thank you all for the welcome.

Actually, i feel bad that NF is down, but the bright side is i get to go back here. i will try to be more active.

[Leen]

Yay!!! :knk

You should be more active around here. I know you can contribute a lot to this community. Do stay here akways.

[uncanny_sama]

damn it got hacked again?!! >_<

well at least now i know i wont go to bed at 4.30 am xD

[Gold Knight]

Yep, hopefully it comes up before the next chapter comes out.

[xallisto]

We con keep the manga covered, but the anime is anyones guess

[Gold Knight]

Well, if anybody has anime news, they're welcome to post here.

Thanks GK you're friendly as usual. ;]

[kool-ka-lang]

how many times did NF crash the past few weeks? Hardware problems? D:

[Gold Knight]

I'm not sure as I've stopped keeping track of what goes on there today.

But it's likely because they are trying to fix what the hacker did to NF before bringing it back. Also our tech guy is most likely exasperated with having to deal with another case so soon. He was very upset the last time it happened, and he's very meticulous and careful in discovering why it happened and trying to figure out how to prevent it if it happens again. Which I can understand... Posted at: February 23, 2006, 10:42:53 PM_________________________________________________* * * *

Okay, Anax, Crimson, and shinraiden got into a conversation about the environment here, and it was getting to be a rather involved convo, so I've split all the posts off into its own thread: What's Up With the Environment? (http://mangahelpers.com/forum/index.php?topic=1792.0)

So if you want to continue the conversation, please do so there. :)



But in the first post [b]Anax also included the following comments:

The tech guy is mad because you have more work for him? :eyeroll
Anyway, NF being hacked is somehow scary... As the site's popularity increases, so will the attacks against it. Also, sites like "stop Tazmo" don't help either!! Imagine 2007 being full of "Tazmo Stopping Paladins" firing nukes at the servers... :s

@Nah-Nah

Check this out. You are here because NF is down... Wishing for NF to be up and running FAST is like wishing you away. On the other hand, wishing you'd stay is like wishing NF down for ever.
Why can't you move here and rid the community of such an emotional dilemma? :wtf

[xallisto]

Uncanny i gotta say i love your sig its teh rox :P

[Miso]

Xal, I like your sig too. It's kind a cool that you don't see Ichi's face but only his body. And a blurry Hichi, too.

And the OP Luffy gay avatar is funny, too.

Random spam: whee...I'm bored. It's Saturday evening and I dunno what to do.

[Anax]

It's Saturday night and I'm at a net café, how lame is that? I don't care though, if it weren't for my roomie, I'd have stayed home, reading something or being here :grin

Read more manga!

[Anax]

*Enters the thread freaked out*

Stargate SG-1 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stargate_SG-1) has 9 seasons, going for 10 and in Greece only 1 or 2 have been aired!

It was such an interesting series. Gotta/Musta/Hafta find it on DVD!

[Predator]

1st. I dunno if it's good to say that, but better find it on Torrent.
2nd. Stargate SG1 turns into StarWarsGate later, so the first few seasons are the best.
3rd. Try Stargate Atlantis. It's a derived storyline so it's good because they don't need to stick to old cannons there.
Plus Stargate Atlantis has only two seasons by now, so it's faster.

[ILUVATAR]

if you like to be tortured try the torrent, if you have a dsl on home then try it anyway - that's my advise. i tried to download the first 25 episodes of Naruto and i should have waitted for at least 10 days for it to be downloaded OMG :s :blink :darn no friking way. i'd rather download it piece by piece, one by one with normal speed...if i find them that way of cource :notrust damn..... I WANT THE FIRST EPISODES BEFORE THE FILLERS... i don't have a problem reading/living :amuse the manga, but i must admit that some scenes are aaaaawsome-cool-just perfect on motion (for example Naruto's first "outrage" against Haku)

[Predator]

Thing is that you try to download episodes, none's providing these days. So, if you want them there's no other way as waiting and extra managing download process. Draining one by one will be even worse, cause i'll be hard to find a still active non-batced torrent of a two year old anime.
Goold luck anyways (you'll need it, don't reject it) and I wish you success. :amuse

w00t - I'm loving this series, too.
Didn't know that you also like it, Anax.
Good thing is that they are ariring all seasons here (up till now season 8) - so you can buy the original DVD's.

[Predator]

*laughs in full voice*

Man, we're a kind on our own. Liking the same things, although, they're from different classes.

If you guys knew how much I like all of you by know!! :hug :pleased

[Crimson]

:oh i didnt know there so many Stargate fans here...I got hooked recently and have been watching reruns late saturday nights. I remember seeing the first movie and the first few episodes of the first season, then my family moved, and we didnt have cable for a good long time, so I kinda forgot it existed, lol. I just recently started watching Atlantis. I actually like it quite a bit more that SG-1. I saw some SG-1 reruns recently and it reminded alot of Andromeda and Star Trek (Its somewhat like both of them mixed together). Except Star Trek was, IMO, a good watch only half the time, and I didnt like Andromeda very much at all... :p.

Side note: If anyones having any problems downloading with torrents, check to see if your routers ports are open for w/e torrent program ur using. If you need help doing this I recommend www.portforward.com .

[The Boff]

ok, im a little bit sad right now. my computer has broken so i have to take it to the repair dude...
first off, its gonna cost a lot of money. which i dont have.=)
second, im starting to get in to this forum thing.. like 2 weeks ago i had never posted anything, anywhere.
third,  what am i supposed to do instead?

well that was me crying a little. but i guess ill borrow my friends net and log on as often as I can. if not ill see you all in a couple of weeks. have fun without me (i think you can manage)

oh yeah ive said that i would do a swedish trans for naruto every week. ill try to keep that by going to the internetcafe or something. See you all later

[Predator]

Forum is a way of comunity. Don't get addicted to it. Remember of the real life.

That's what I just had to write to remind everyone reading this, that this forum is the best, but even so it's a forum, not some kind of food. We have to avoid unhealthy depression due to such simple thing like broken comp (boffenjl's case). After all patience will only strenghten the temper. We all know gambling and drug addiction. Those are serious stuff and it's a disapointment everytime it's diagnosticed. I don't want forum addiction to be stated as a diagnosis, EVER.

[The Boff]

hehehe im not that badly damaged seriously...
if it ever will be diagnosed i will probably still be trying to figure out how to upload images.

Bah, sorry to hear that - hope you get it fixed quickly and come back soon.

But maybe this story will make you feel better - back in October, the first week I was moderated at Naruto Forums, I went thru exactly the same thing - my computer had to be repaired, and I was so nervous that they'd lose faith in me being any help. So I made sure to run to the library (about eight blocks away) every day to get on the computer in order to help out for two hours - which was how long I could spend on the computer there. Did it for a week.

In the end, I found out that I shouldn't have worried much at all - the mod team was sometimes inactive for months and didn't get demoted, and if I had done nothing for a week, they wouldn't have said anything. Oh well, at least I still got some exercise.

Just use the time to focus on other fun stuff. And then come back and tell us about it ;)

[Miso]

Very cute, GK!
But I think I would also have given everything to go to the internet.
In fact, I'm an internet addict. And I really like forums. :)

Hehe, i tried to be online as much as i could the first week, because i might be thrown back where i cam from XD - but it turned out i was even more active the weeks to follow ( not counting this last one ) - addicted and proud of it :D

[Leen]

Ah....mods sharing their stories.

*tries to jump queue and up the stage she goes*
Ahem.........

Let me think...I was modded back in December 2005 sometime after the breakdown of NF. We were having this great convo on buying an island in the World with DZ, nana and others. Somehow, I got my own Ask Mes thread and GK offered me this job. Gladly I accepted it. First week was a tough one. I couldn't merge, move and so on. That took me a few days before finally setting down and now, I'm just relaxing around, posting, making spoilers thread, enjoy myself and keep this place organized. :occa

hahaha, thats great. good to see you found my information helpful. I think ive helped a good 5 people thus far with their router problems. Its especially amusing to me because Ive only had a router for a whole 2 months now. I was running 56k for a good 4 years, *sigh* yet somehow I downloaded 500 Gigs worth of anime in that time, lol.
*I have to thank the academy...actually no, all my thanks goes to my poor computer which NEVER got any rest. EVER. Thank You.*

On a related note: for some reason I cant get addicted to the internet. Its like Im immune to addictions. Maybe its my immaterialistic nature? who knows. Its just nice to be immune to something, lol.

EDIT: and for those of you wondering how it is I type such long responses to subjects without much time at my computer (such as the enviroment subject which was just recently moved from this thread for a VERY good reason, tx GK btw), I usually just get on my computer every now and then and check for interesting posts, type my response (usually rather fast, about 5 minutes or so, unless I have about 3 or 4 different people to respond to, then it becomes an essay, lol), and go off to do something else.

[Hermie]

Mod stories? My pleasure. :)

There was a day in January, when I was talking to my man GK, and I don't know how he did it, but before I knew it, I had agreed to try to lively up the OP section of MH, even though I was visiting too many forums already.
After a couple of days of posting, he came on msn again and said "hey, wanna mod the section? ;D?" Of course, I accepted heartily.
But there was something wrong with the mod usergroup, so I didn't get to do everything I was supposed to, so after a little fiddling he just said "ah, screw it, I'll just make you smod instead."





..And then, to test me, he made me battle a GIANT DRAGON OF DOOM AND DEATH

[Gold Knight]

Tip: Don't give the admins any ideas. *has a pet killer Red Dragon that he tamed in his heyday*

[shinraiden]

The biggest complication I think for Mod's is maintaining a proper attitude across their boards and other boards. On the forums I run as part of my work, I'm the full uber-admin with rights to arbitrarily slap down full serverhost-level IP netblock bans, and report them to my boss later if I feel like it. Along with that I can as the admin tell people to officially ST*U and pretty much whatever. The whole absolute power thing.

But when I go to other forums I frequent such as this one where I'm not even a VIP or even a single forum co-mod, I have to remind myself that things work differently. Even though I have a NF forums ID of 3028 and a MH id of 29, that still doesn't mean a whole lot, and there's some forums that I wander through occasionally where I'm a total newbie stranger, and most certainly not the BofH uberadmin.

Of course though, the time I went admin...

The boss had given me the server root access to setup some email accounts and upload some data, but hadn't given me the forums access. So one morning I got an IM from a fellow troll saying we'd just gotten hax0r'd. So I could get at the server, but not at the forums. I made a temp little maintanence page and pushed it up, then turned around and pinged my boss like mad until he woke up and gave me forums admin access too. Now he stays away from the forums and leaves it all up to me.

For other admins though, you really ought to check out MySQL's browser and admin tools. They're awesome, even if you still have to write the SQL to actually edit the fields.

[Gold Knight]

Absolute power though, it eats you up faster than a giant dragon of doom and death. ^^

Yeah, moderators do have to keep mindful that they have to set an example for everybody else, that's why I'm particularly proud of our staff - they all do a very good job of that. The forum wouldn't have grown at the pace it did without their help. And it wouldn't have been as nice without all the friendly members we have, either.

I've seen MySQL, it does have some nice features. At the moment I'm so much more familiar with SMF and Vbulletin though that switching to anything else would probably take some doing for me...

[The Boff]

Hehey.. just got myself a computer for an hour so now ill fix the swedish trans for naruto...

see you all next week!

A swedish trans - I'm looking forward it. (Want to know how this language looks written...:))

Using the MySQL admin tools allows you to directly dump and edit the database, as well as backup and restore to a remote location, often far more effectively than you could with whatever tools are built into the forums admin packages. Especially if you want to set up a functional dev mirror to test changes and other stuff to underlying management code.

A swedish trans - I'm looking forward it. (Want to know how this language looks written...:))

here you go: http://mangahelpers.com/forum/index.php?topic=2184.0

im guessing it looks like just a bunch of jibberish to you though.
best description ever of the swedish language:
"it sounds like german spoken from underwater" an old friend told me that one.... :p

[Miso]

Thanks boffenjl.

Wow - MySQL seems to be useful. :blink
Good that I don't have to do with something like that - leave it to njt or d3vlabs, our technicians.

Guess I must have been thinking of something else. At the moment I know I'm content with the adminCP but as Miso said, I'm not especially the tech. admin anyway.

Everybody ready to have one less hour of sleep tonight?
I know I'm not. Even though I only have to get up at 12 tomorrow, I like turning it backwards better.
Who does that anyway? Let's exclude Europe (we all do it anyway, that's for sure).

Isnt that next month? :blink Last I remember the Daylight savings changes occur every April , and Normal times are changed back in October.

[Miso]

Man...that bugs me off...I hate the Daylight savings changes..
and Crimson - it's today/tomorrow.

[Gold Knight]

Is it different for different parts of the world?

In America we lose this hour on April 2. -_-

[Miso]

April 2nd? O RLY?

Seems that it really depends on the country you live in.

It's rather continent. All the Europe switches now. America is doing it a week later. I really don't know why government's keeping such a rudimentary practice. I mean, it's been a century already since we do this. Also the electricity for light is not and issue anymore. The share lightning takes in electricity distribution charts becomes smaller every year. There's no use of it anymore.

Here's an idea! Let's all become politicians of our countries, enter the parlaments and take the Daylight Saving concepts away. We'll save a lot of nerve that way.

[Gold Knight]

Politics aren't my thing, but I agree that it's pretty much redundant.

[Anax]

DAYLIGHT SAVINGS! OMG! Ever since I left Leonidion it's been a pain! Not watching TV once my roomie I were on a different timezone for 3-4 days! It was so much fun! Those where the days of being a total bum, sleeping wherever, doing whatever, eating dirt... At least now I'm not doing "whatever" so much and eating less "dirt" :D

As for politics I'm dead tired of people telling me to be a politician because of the way I speak to people. I'd rather be a hitman than a politician... Although I do admit that most of my class had given me praise for being the numero uno hollow talker in it. That means I was the best in talking a lot without saying anything, mostly what the politicians do. I was also the best at having my crowd understand less than half of what I was talking about or where I was going with it... still, I'm quite sure Shinraiden coudl easily whoop my ass with HIS skill on the matter :D
Shinraiden for President :woot

[Predator]

Yeah, the same to me. I was one of the best speakers in my class, but when I went to university I thought there will be many having good leadership and orator skills (because of the course I'm taking, that is necessary). It turned out that others suck bigtime at it. I mean come on, how come that from thirty groupmates, I'm the only one able to speak in front without struggling.

But I'm not sure I don't want to be politician. Sometimes I just want to become one and show those post-soviet dorks how things should be done in 21st century. :shakefist

Is it that bad?????????

[Predator]

Is it that bad?????????


Yup! Few days ago our local Watergate arose. Those politician dorks had tried to trade our resort city's, Jūrmala major position. The mobile calls were listened and recorded by local secret service. And then some information leek occured and those recorded conversations were given to national television, who replayed them on national newsflash.

I'd say it's pretty "that bad", if not worse. The country is the most corrupt in the EU, because of them.

[The Boff]

finally.... my computer is home again and i can again disappear from the real world
with some good music, manga, anime movies and whatnot....

[Gold Knight]

Welcome back, Boff ^_^

[The Boff]

thanks dude. i see you got yourself a new avatar and signature... both look good.

[Gold Knight]

Thanks! I definitely think Miso's signature is awesome and I thought I needed a different avatar to go with it too :thumbs

[Miso]

Thanks! I definitely think Miso's signature is awesome and I thought I needed a different avatar to go with it too :thumbs




Thankies! :)

[Gold Knight]

I'm the one who should be saying that. :p

[Tanuki-dono]

Miso, you're awesome! :thumbs

Since this is the hangout thread, I feel like complaining. Arg - my dog chewed my power adaptor to my laptop! :mad Now, all my beautiful stuff is locked away - nooooes! So, I don't guess I'll be able to get of Messenger today or anything, after all. And worse - I can't do the IRC thing. :darn

[FHT]

My HD just got full yesterday... :s Maybe I need to buy another one... :amuse
My little brother destroyed another Xbox game... :mad Thank God it was a copy :smile-big

Yeah, I noticed that the sig of GK and Miso changed. Very cool :)
I just changed mine too...

[Miso]

Seems that you have problems with your dogs and brothers.
It comes to my mind that these are very troublesome combo.
Good that I don't have even one of them.
No dog - a cat
No brother - a sister..

lol...what a coincidence.

Tanuki-dono: I feel with you! It's really bad if you can't access your comp.

FHT: HD...I realized that even 160 GB can get a bit pokey if you already have almost 50 GB manga....so I can understand you very well.

[Predator]

For every problem there's my approach possible:

@Tanuki: Chew something your dog likes. Maybe it won't influence the dog, but it could be fun. XD

@FHT: I solved this problem long ago, by having a system disk and "the other disk". System disk is an 5Gb senior. No data, only OS and progs. Such things now cost as much as a sandwich, but are bloody hard to find. The other can be 128Gb giant designed for storage. In that case you don't care how fast it works as long as you get all the data in or out. Try it, works goooood.

[FHT]

@ Miso: Is good to know that no just me has that problem in here.
@ Predator_U: Thanx. I'm gonna try that out. :)


:yondaime

[Gold Knight]

External disk drive = my savior ( though at the moment it's half full... )

Noes, Tanuki T_T
Oh well... whenever you're able, just let me know and I'll help you with IRC. I'm not going anywhere for a while :glomp

[Tanuki-dono]

Well, at least I'm on the downstairs computer, even though my personal stuff isn't at my disposal... T.T And the downstairs desktop is so slooow. So tempting to download MSN... T.T

Predator_U: Let's see my dogs like...cords, tennis balls, doo-doo, dirty underwear and socks, and doggie treats. @.@

[Gold Knight]

Actually I downloaded MSN fine with dial-up. :)

[Predator]

Let's see my dogs like...cords, tennis balls, doo-doo, dirty underwear and socks, and doggie treats. @.@


I've heard that those doggie treats are quite tasty. Something in between chips and crackers. :darn
Imagine what a good revenge it would be if your dog saw you eating all his doggie treats in front of him?

But if we speak seriously, I've read that in such case dogs must be punished, so they don't get spoiled. They must learn not to chew small black boxes. Somehow, dogs might get spoiled even more than some children.
