Random Thoughts...

It's the unfortunate part of admin forums - they all have the same people

The more I run into a xenforo stumbling block, the more I wanna punch IB in it's mouth for assuming it ripped off vBulletin. If it did, a bunch of core vb features would not be missing.

hahaha guess I'm gone.

Possibly .... But you may have logged in the last 3 months... ie... July / August

I do at least 1 good cleaning at least once a year.

LOL! Nice clean up! Thank god I haven't joined your site then... xD

It sounds a lot more dramatic than it really is.

*note to self* Don't stick your foot out to stop a stupid Staffie from giving the cat some love (when the cat hates the staffie) especially when said staffie is a muscle-bound brainless idiot who barges past said foot making you whack the arch of it into the side of a free-standing radiator, resulting in bruises and swelling and then gets his nose bitten by the cat who doesn't want doggie love.

thinks "i should have joined here as female instead, they get more attention and responses instantly, be it support related, random gab talk, general bull****ting, and so forth, nothing goes unnoticed when they talking on here..." *goes to sign up for a new forum account as female.. wheee*and if any guy flirts with me on new female account, gets swift kick to baws..

Posting you're a female and and are posting naked seems to help a great deal too.

Seriously though, I doubt it matters all that much. In real life females probably get more advantages than they do here.

Today, I have successfully done the impossible. The thing in which people everywhere said you could never do, but I did them and proved everyone wrong. And because I did them, no one will admit they even happened.

That reminds me of the time I pruned 6,000 inactive members and many months later I realized they weren't at all inactive. Not my finest moment. My last cleanup experience.

Disgruntled devs from a competing product?

Ah man i am NEVER drinking an energy drink again at night. I ended up riding my new bike last night. Im so worn out... and i got work in 30 min.. hold me. (no dudes)


Random lol @ people fighting in random threads.
I wish I had that much free time to waste. Probably wouldn't spend it fighting on xenforo tho.

I wish I wasn't so lazy so I'd make add-ons that I and other people need -.-
Really lack motivation to develop anything anymore.

I blame picky old clients. You go from clean lovely styles/functional to pixelated/slow I-did-it-in-frontpage 1998 pages because their sons and daughters read some archaic book on web related stuff. They don't trust you they trust their 12 year old daughter who is bound for Harvardddd (NOT).

Oh and they think flash is the first thing a visitor should see and should always be on a site. I think sites like wix.com need to DIE a horrible DEATH.... I hate getting emails "can you replicate my free wix site for me, because I want a website but not with wix anymore. I need it to be in flash too."

NO NO NO NO NO NO....

*traumatic life*

On a lighter note I'm post #555 on this thread

IF I could get, Guest Post Viewing Limit to work with my site... I would be happy.

Seems to push my header down into my post and randomly causes some kind of error message..... To debug or not to debug... That is the question.

With over 300 customization .... You get to that point where you don't want to have to try to figure out every issue that pops up and it is just easier to either un-install or hire someone else to find the cause.

I've become a little lazy (and shot on time).

Another one which is giving me trouble is Live Update. I'm not the only one who's had issues with it, but it doesn't seem to be, being managed any more. I find that funny cause the two people who keep advertising their services, can't even manage a small free add-on. That's where people judge you on your performance.

Chris Deeming knows what I'm talking about.... That's why his business is booming (successful) .

yes that comic made me laugh so hard the first time I saw it. There's also a video on designing the stop sign that was pretty relevant too (not the oatmeal)

It's so unbelievably true. At least for me.

When I was growing up in school, they gave us classes on how to use a computer. That was 20 years ago. I wonder what their classes look like now? Do they teach internet etiquette? Wondering that after I read this. I mean... common sense would tell you not to let the whole world know you stole their stuff then ask the people you stole stuff from to join.

 

[Adam Howard]

I'm scared.

I think I may have witnessed the 2012 presidential election be pre-configured in my area.

I too have wondered about that. Typing specifically. I had typing classes in elementary school. All kids I see today can't type (no home row, no touch typing).
