I guess I was confusing it with Exile 2. In that case, I don't have any more suggestions.

Having that drop down list is result of turning on an optional setting in your browser. Most people have that setting turned off.

Do your schools have elected student governments? If they do, you have a pretty good idea of what "moderator elections" on this board would look like.

As for more practical aspect, there is a reason Misc forum was shut down. Do you want to get the General forum shut down as well?

I think so. If I remember correctly, unregistered version can: heal party, restore magic, give food and/or gold, take party out of town, make towns forget you (in case you've made some towns angry at you) and restore boats to their starting locations.

PS Welcome to the forums. :)

I guess it depends on the textbooks. Mine averaged around 70$, but I think there were a few cheaper ones. As for fiction books, I am more used to 5-10$ paperbacks.

As for price of textbooks, it's probably just an extra source of income for univercities that publish them. (Campus bookstores are always terribly overpriced, but textbooks aren't cheap even when bought online.)

Radian't real name is Pieter Simmons.

Despite being a fun game, SubTerra apparently had pretty disappointing sales, so he recently releasted it as freeware.

30$ for a single book?! Is that US or Canadian dollars? If it's US, that almost compares to the price of some textbooks. Why would anybody waste that much money for a fiction book?

It's amuzing to see how every time somebody tells a story the teller considers himself to be the main moving forse behind events.

EDIT: This isn't just about ADoS. I've seen this done by plenty of people, including myself.

I don't see any drop down lists for location when editing profile. I guess the list is just your browser remembering past entries. So if your string really causes problems, I wouldn't recommend trying it.

Also, does Solberg reward you in any way? If so, I'm screwed over because Fort Draco is out of boats and I lost the one I used on that waterway. -_-;;
You can use character editor to return all boats to their starting locations.

As for your first question, I don't know.

If I made a game that would transfer a dollar from your bank account to mine whenever you died, but would transfer 100$ back when you won the game, would you play it? :)

I might buy it when it comes out in paperback, but will probably just borrow it from a friend at some point. The book isn't going to disappear forever if I don't buy it the moment it comes out and after finishing it, there will be a long wait for the next installment anyway.

Who here is a professional/free-lance programmer and can write Assembler? Are there any?
I am a professional programmer, although I am not working as a programmer at the moment. And I am pretty sure that you will not learn anything useful by trying to learn assembly language. Modern compilers already do a lot more optimizations than most programmers could think of. So if you attempt to write a complicated program by hand, chances are you'll end up with more bugs and worse performance than if you took advantage of a compiler.

Sullust, there are only a few hundred people in the entire world who are working on internal design of databases. I am guessing similar numbers for compiler design. All of them have Phds. And if you want to get into the field now, you better be in a Phd programm, working under a famous professor with direct connections to the industry.

For a forum to be successful you have to have 2 things:

1. A core group of people to talk at that forum.

2. A reason why these people can not carry on their discussions on another, existing forum.

For example, Desperance forums started out with a group of Spidweb members who thought rules on Spidweb forums were too strict; Lyceum started out as a forum for BOE fans and remains the central point of BOE community; some other forums that I've seen started when a group of people left a forum where they met due to a conflict with other members.

If your forums don't have a unique element like this, they are bound to fail. If they do have this unique element, they will succede even on ezBoard.

Different posting criteria. When I posted only posts that I felt would contribute something new and important to the discussion I was making less than one post a day. When I post on every thread where I can think of a mildly relevant comment to make (like I am doing right now), I make 10 posts a day.

If you don't like cords getting in the way, go for a trackball. No worrying about cords, requires less space, and is not as bad for your wrist.

Interestingly, those who made the top 10 posting list are mentioned most often. A correlation perhaps? Unsurprisingly, I am not mentioned. Most likey due to the facts I post so little as to be nearly unknown, and as far as I am aware no one has particularly positive or negative feelings about me.

One of these days I'm going to get around to posting with frequency and/or contributing to the commmunity. Really! I swear! :P
I know you. :)
You are one of the few people with member number under 100 who is still around with his original account and member name, which is quite an accomplishment in itself.

As for top posters always being at the top of the most liked/hated lists, that's natural, because everybody hears about them. However, it's not necessary to post a lot to be well like. Some of my favorite members are Shrodinger and Fallen, who almost never post on Misc/General and post only when they have something useful to contribute.

I can only cook things that don't have more than one ingredient.
There is a lot of stuff you can do if you expand it to 3 or 4 ingredients. In fact, anything I cooked when I was in college had less than half a dozen ingredients, but I still had good meals every day.

For example, this soup gave me dinners for a week:
2 or 3 liters of water (depending on how liquid you want it)
1 pound (1/2 kg) bag of dried beans or peas
1 small onion
1 carrot

1. Heat water.
2. When water is boiling, add beans (or peas).
2a. Wait about an hour.
3. Chop the carrot and onion. (The pieces don't have to be very small.)
4. Fry them in frying pan until onion is light-brown.
5. Put carrots and onions into the soup.
6. Add salt until it tastes good.
7. The soup is ready when beans split (or peas turn into uniform mass).

This dish requires minimal effort and the end result tastes much better than most cafeteria food.

Supposedly, having too much sugar makes people hyperactive. The comment was there as a joking way of hiding the reference to cookies mentioned in another recent thread. However, if jokes have to be explained they probably weren't very funny to begin with.

Legalization v. decriminalization? I'm missing the distinction here.
Legalization = No legal reprecussions for use

Decriminalization = Minimal, non-penal reprecussions for use

(The difference is that the latter still means that mary jane is illegal, you just won't get sent to pork-me-up-the-ass prison for a few years for taking a whiff of it is all. Canada, for reference, has decriminalized marijuana.)
Are you saying that in case of decriminalization it's still illegal, but everybody does it anyway and poliece ignores it? That sounds like the worst possible course of action. Legalized, while heavily regulated, makes sence as a compromize, but illegal with everybody doing it sounds like both sides are the losers.
