I've never had much trouble with spelling. You see a word, remember the spelling of a word, and get good approximations of words you don't know and later learn you were wrong.

That said, I seems I need to do more Wikisurfing, seeing as I never have really.

It should be to try to get as many posts as possible while still avoiding canning. Hope you have some good new topics in mind.

Why do we like statistics? Because it shows us how far behind everyone else we are and how much more we should be posting to get up to pace. (Well, this month I'm not really the ideal spokesperson for that point of view, but anyway.)

Also, the lure of all that information and seeing who posted how much lately and just an untimate quest for knowledge.

However, I insist upon keeping all the statistics free. I also insist on the constant free upgrading of the stats program to include more features. MORE!!! :P

You can't just buy the book? That might be more worth it in the long run.

Well then, since the rest of average America gets an automatic 104 days off of work every year (unless you choose to be a workaholic), then taking 250 days off in four years doesn't seem like that much. He's actually working more then the rest of us even if it is less then the recent Democrats. (Which is why we keep paying him after his term is over, right? :P )

I think the statistics for all the Presidents would be very interesting. Something I'll have to google when I'm not so busy. Why am I even posting? I think I'm procrastinating...

It's the natural allure of the Add Reply button to your cursor, really.

But no matter how many days the President takes off on vacations, he is either at work or available for his Presidential duties should something come up.

I cut my finger with a knife pretty bad before, but I don't see any scar. But really, I've had a pretty injury-free life. No broken bones and stuff. A couple years ago I dropped a sheet of metal and but a little nip in my arm, but it wasn't too deep. I did leave quite a scar, though, probably because we went minus a couple stitches in favor of a much cheaper band-aid.

Uh-oh. I know I have spammed quite a bit last month, but I didn't think it would be that bad. At least Thuryl shoud've beaten me.

Anyway, I must be slow to recognize that the forum was slowing down while my posting was not.

Well, if you don't seem to have any idea you want to express, that's why I included the No comment option. But it seems that if you're doubtful, you'll just choose Not much possibility or Never.

My theory on Drakefyre's age is as follows:

As many know Drakefyre is an advocate for the intensely magical race known as the Vahnatai. In fact, many assumed the he himself was Vahnatai and Drakefyre did not refute these ideas.

In the E2/A2 game you meet a young vahnatai, she's the equivalent of a 5-7 year old yet she says that she 21 years old.

If the rumours of Drakefyre's species was correct and taking into account the evidence from the game(s)we can assume that Drakefyre is infact around late teens-early twenties.
However, Drakefyre cunningly misleads the public by advertising his age as the human
equivalent of his psychological development.

I'd definately subscribe to that theory. However, two details must be examined/explained before it can become gospel.

1) How does Drakey do grocery shopping without causing a riot?

2) Does he get loyalties from Jeff for appearing in the games?

1. There are not grocery stores in the Vahnatai world. All their food comes from the land. Drakey just possesses an ingenious Internet connection between his world and ours and has used for himself a picture of an innocent little boy.

2. Possibly. But probably not. You know how Jeff is. He just gets to approve the graphical rendering of his race through his beta testing.

Alex, I still have one more question: Is the door just there randomly, or does it have a wall with it to stop unsuspecting victims from walking past it and into SW?

No. Remember that SW is a two-demensional place, so that door in itself provides an adequate barrier. And a rather thick on to boot.

Oof, forgive me for leaving out vBulletin. That thing definately has more features than UBB, but it also looks more cluttered.

But 7.5 million posts and 750,000 members. Wow, man. Wow.

Your platform in General

Eh, besides not really wanting one and not really ever seeing one except for a few rare screenshots, I can't say I'm very well versed in the differences between the two except that one runs more stuff than the other, or so it seems. Saying 'Mac' conjures actually conjures up an image of all those primitive computers we had in the elementary school computer lab, but I know the platform has advanced considerable since then.

What exactly are the advantages and disadvantages of a Mac versus a PC?

It seems as people have some gripes about UBB and all, especially since it has eaten some accounts (well, maybe the fluffy turtles where responsible, but anyway) and caused a few wierd problems.

I really like the format, however, and how it displays itself, and I think it is for the most part visually appealing without all the flashy colors, detailed icons, and the option of avatars (though that one is quite debatable).

Even so, we have been stuck on UBB for almost 4 years now, and I was wondering if anyone would be for a change of forums. I know it would be a sacrifice of some things, most notably post counts, custom titles, etc. that you have accumulated here, but all the unwanted account would be weeded out, we could all become obvious oldbies because of our low member numbers, and the race to 1000 would be interesting. :) Even TM would be back.

However, I am also aware that many will have no desire to change forums and are more than content to just continue on here and not go to all the trouble.

Then comes the factor of Jeff agreeing to switch forums. We could just instantly migrate somewhere else, but that would leave all of our wondering newbies clueless. After all, everyone should hang out at the company forums, not some offshoot.

So here's a quick poll just to sum up what you think.
