    Megaupload shut down and owners charged

    It doesn't really impact forums. It just so happens that those of us who have forums, are 1) fairly well-informed of things like this (related to technology and the Internet), and 2) willing to put forth effort to voice our opinions on the matter. Therefore, since we have our own websites, why...

    It's the power that the government would have that is most frightening. Anybody who appreciates the freedom of the Internet should be and pretty much is against SOPA/PIPA and any spinoffs of such. You'll see that many people are using their own sites to voice their opposition although they don't...

    The "bloody great news" doesn't mean diddly squat. In fact, it's worse because all it means is that they're postponing it until the hype dies down, Americans are convinced that it's "off the table" (presumably permanently) and then they're going to bring it back onto the table and pass it...

    Anyone planning on getting an iPhone 4S? (was iPhone 5)

    I'll have to try to remember when I'm in the city since considering how rural of an area I live in, it wouldn't do any justice.

    Anyone planning on getting an iPhone 4S? (was iPhone 5)

    Got my 4S today (actually three in total) and I'm lovin it. It doesn't "feel" like a big upgrade (because, well, it isn't) but I have a feeling it's the foundation for more to come with iOS 5 in the future. Also, the camera hardware changes alone made this upgrade worth it for me. Everything...

    Also forgot to mention, Ranger, if you didn't know, you can apparently now set the phone to use the LED flash as a message indicator. So you have everything you've missed!

    One thing I also discovered iOS5 has is the ability to add custom words and shortcuts to the dictionary. A small but much-needed feature that I've missed since my BlackBerry days. :D

    As far as AT&T goes: You don't have to wait two years to renew. The lines are eligible for upgrade every single year, it just renews your contract for another two years. So if you don't plan on leaving the phone company, what's wrong with upgrading yearly? Apple releases every year; so yes...

    XF 1.1 Notices

    BINGO. It's easy to make something functional. It's common to find something innovative and "cool". But VERY rarely is something ever both innovative and functional. This notices system, and XenForo as a whole, is. Such great work!

    Thinking of closing my forum

    $140 isn't even the most of it. Consider the countless and invaluable hours invested into the site, its construction, and its upkeep.
