I know Iffy is thirteen, and I joined when I was ten, which means I am thirteen. I don't think I act like it though. My mental age seems to be higher then my physical age, but that's probably my ego speaking. I'll let you guys decide if I act like a thirteen year old or not. Compared to some people your age (and older) that have been on this board, you act like the very incarnation of wisdom.

Frankly, if you're still using IE on a Mac, you deserve everything you get. (Hell, if you're using IE, period. :P ) Are there actually any websites that try to lock out non-IE browsers that are worth visiting? I've experienced it only with microsoft.com and various malware-infested download sites... ---- Also, Piperbot appears to enjoy the opportunity to boss me around. I got no less than 12 emails today - I wonder who's looking at all the old polls. Piperbot is programmed to only act when someone actually looks at the site. I have this suspicion he's got a deal set up with Googlebot.

Because Schrodinger's cat-in-a-quantum-box picture isn't there. Surely it is. wordpress.com's server must suffer from a hiccup, because it displays for me. Keep in mind that the URLs in the post are all the same, and thus if the pictures work here, they work there. I will miss these two boards, but I'm in no hurry to join an imitation. Did it work for Misc? No. Many times over. And Misc actually had a community. It was even more vibrant and spontaneous than General with its lax moderation. So will it work for RWG or SubTerra, where the simple act of posting is a parody on forums and games? Realize there is nothing about RWG except its aura, and this aura hinges on it being here, being forum #13 and being an official forum for games that few people have ever heard of. It is defined by being a board that is not supposed to exist. Any imitation you create necessarily loses this and is left with nothing but the name. Don't try to build a replica of R'lyeh in your backyard, that's all I'm saying. :P [ Wednesday, June 13, 2007 16:37: Message edited by: jg.faust ] -------------------- Encyclopaedia • Archives • Members • RSS [Topic / Forum] • Blog • Polaris • NaNoWriMo Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair.

Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Wednesday, June 13 2007 16:24 Profile Homepage #9 First version of poll result catcher done. Now, if you visit a topic at PPP that contains a poll, it will try to get the poll results page from SW. Assuming that the poll still exists, and that I voted in it (it has to log in as me to see the results after all), it will parse it correctly. I have no deleted poll or one I didn't vote in close to hand, so I haven't tested what happens. Because I'm still debugging it, right now PPP will only display the parsed poll results. For the time being this means poll topics can't be properly viewed.

Crazy. What're these other forums mentioned anyways? I'm not really "in the loop" so to speak, to know about the branch outs from here. None of them are really worth visiting, except perhaps Desperance and Polaris (but the former is NSFW, and the latter is really slow these days). The rest are relatively short-lived publicity stunts, and unless you go out of your way to get to them, they'll only ever pop up in signatures or threads like this one. Edit: I forgot about Shadow Vale, which has defied tradition and stayed alive and bustling for several months. But if it survives a year, it's setting a record.
