""Forums Dying!?!?!""
 
...no, I don't really think they are, I just think it's funny that there's always one of these posts going around claiming that Forums are going to be shut down unless we all gather round and start really pumping out those posts, because one person senses inactivity.
Plus, as I write this I was seriously cconsidering flaming all the lame-brains who write these type of posts, but my heart's no longer in it. In fact, if it seems I'm rambling, it's because I am, because I feel the rise of uncaring and ignorance through the vials of my mind.
Ahhh......Whatever.

AeroLed, if you are going to link pics from geocities, change the extention to .txt so geocities hot-linking filter won't catch it. The rest of us see a red x.

Hotlinking from Geocities doesn't work. ;)

...always with the dinosaur pics. I'm not cutting on them, I like them. I just think it's funny that they're everywhere.
That and other random inside jokes that I don't understand. But I have a mere 50 something posts. What do I know.
I wonder if I should keep talking, since no one is listening?
Instead, Dig on this:

Actually, i prefer it when its quiet. Its when most of the genuine questions are asked and genuine posts are made..

liquidmotion 31st July 2002 05:39

Aero Zeppelin 31st July 2002 10:18

Who is that?

I don't think they are dying. I started a thread all about that on the Fourth OF July really long weekend because it was so quiet. I don't like it like that.

ummm....ok

oh guess what! IM BACK!! so now the forums cant die:D

whiteflip 31st July 2002 12:43

where did you go?
i thought something was missing. but it was just s1138

Aero Zeppelin 31st July 2002 12:55

I don't even know you were gone.

Has anyone been able to get on deviantART lately? I tried to review some skins today but the site was SOOOOOOOO SLOW. I know it's always pretty slow but it was unbelievably slow today. It's worse than starting up Windows ME.

whiteflip 31st July 2002 22:32

hey i have you know windows ME has a quick start up time of 7 seconds. depends on how you configure it (if your smart or not) and windows 2000 has a base start up time of 40 seconds!!!!!! :o so dont nock the 9x series for startup times. thats all they are good for.

henry3k56 31st July 2002 22:58

Thats unless you defrag your machine daily to do that, and also partition your drive makes the OS load faster. Cut the Splash Screen too. Windows2000 can load faster, but you also have to take for account that Windows2000 has more advanced features that the Win9x do not. ;) It has like 20 or so programs it has to load to make it function a securely as possible.

how do you do that? im trying to link a picture from geocities at the moment.

n_ick2000 31st July 2002 23:06

it would seem that that doesn't work with uk.geocities.com try just geocities.com

whiteflip 1st August 2002 00:36

mmm i love my partions. my windows partitions are at the edge of my drive taking up only 1.7gb. programs partition and files partion at the bottom. works soooooo nicely
