Site Sucking Software? in General
Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Saturday, August 14 2004 12:11 Profile Homepage #15 Teehee.... I found a site sucking software that can actually handle this, and I set it to download the general forum. :D The only problem which I just noticed is that the forums are by standard set to display only the topics of the last 5 days... and the others are only accessible by selecting a scroll down menu, which the program cannot do. So it's a bit obsolete given that the purge only affects anything beyond 45 days. :( -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!

Pied Piper Project 2 - The Boards Strike Back in General
Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Saturday, August 14 2004 07:01 Profile Homepage #63 Mh. I guess there is an unwritten rule against reopening locked topics round here, but couldn't we make an exception in the case of that Pralgrad Civil War RP? As the imho most successful Spiderweb RP to date, I think it should stay publically available, just as an example. If it can only be found in some archive offsite, next to nobody who will come to these boards after now would see it. :( And it's certainly something to be proud of, no?

Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Friday, August 13 2004 01:26 Profile Homepage #19 I move that the RP threads 'Baltazar the Mad' and 'An RP in the world of Avernum' be reopened and bumped in order to make sure they retain their place on this forum. Saving stuff is all right, but there are things that should stay here. Edit: I take Blades of Exile, pages 29-30. I like starting from behind. Edit2: Done. All thread pages saved on disk, and ordered by thread number (that's the 6 digit number behind the "t=" in the URL on the forum).

I could tell all sorts of stuff now, from feeling like the community would benefit to my participation, to my immense liking for roleplaying games, to my unfortunate surplus of sanity before joining. But that would be bull. I registered this account because I couldn't get Avernum 3 to run on my computer. Nothing else. My first post still exists, btw, as I made it in the Tech forum that is posted so rarely in it almost never gets pruned. :) -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!

Nudism in General
Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Tuesday, August 10 2004 10:40 Profile Homepage #13 I refuse to vote in a poll that doesn't allow me a middle way. Honestly, clothed all the time? Heck, what about showering? :P On the other hand, justifying nudity by saying we're born naked is just plain dumb. We're born small, why grow? We're born without being able to speak, read or write, so why learn it? Learning to wear clothes isn't any less natural than learning to read - in some ways more natural, since clothes were invented long before written language. -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!

Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Tuesday, August 10 2004 09:09 Profile Homepage #25 Indeed. Or this thread might get goatified. I know the numbers especially for Polaris and TCOA aren't exactly representative, since both boards have had recent resurrections (TCOA only a month ago, but Polaris makes it up by having been restarted about 3-4 times). Still, more than 600 a month... quite a bit. -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!

I think it's justified by undead being 'night creatures'. Ancient viking mythology had trolls turn to stone in sunlight. Maybe that's where it's derived from.
