*sighs* The last one is being the worst one for converting. 30+ hours into the conversion, and have to do yet some more FIXES in the database before the damn forum is ready to go live. --I'm ready to pull my hair out at this point--

I thought it was funny too.

it's a hover setting, what it's doing is italicizing when you hover yer mouse thanks for the compliments

Agree with what Rosemarius said. @haruha_raharu The disorganization overall in the archive is a real problem. We are certainly aware of it. We're also working on a way to fix it. However, that's not as easy as you might think. Once we have everything in place to start moving stories around in the archive (in a manner similar to the way we can move topics around in the forum), we will be doing exactly that. The new working structure is already hashed out, but we need the tools to implement all this. The tool creation for this IS in progress (among many other necessary things being done). You are looking at literally THOUSANDS of stories spread across 22 subdomains that must be gone through so they can be properly categorized. That's a whole lot of work ya know. Once that's all done, it'll be very easy for those of you who dislike slash/yaoi to avoid it entirely. Think about it. A category that says either slash or yaoi is one you'd never click on, if you don't like to read the subject matter. Pair specific categories would be listed below the pairing/story type, so that can be avoided entirely as well. As to whether or not a particular user tags his/her stories in a way to make it so that one knows definitely it IS a same sex pair story, is on the user, not the archive program or the admins and mods. It is the user who inputs the data and makes the form choices when uploading after all. @TurtleHermit Obviously we do not restrict who uploads what, and in what quantities here, as to pairing type. THAT is up to the individual author. If the author chooses to write het, that is his or her choice. If the author chooses to write slash/yaoi that is ALSO his or her choice. You will find in the archive subdomains, for the most part, they all do have a subcategory specifically for m/f or m/m or f/f etc. The only ones where you don't really see this are the subdomains such as cartoons, anime, and books which have literally hundreds of subcategories, aimed at specific titles. So in those, sure, you have to look in the description to see what the story is about more carefully. As to the bad writing you mention? You find that in any category. On any fan fiction site.

I searched the archive (by both author and story) and that is not a story nor author here. Sorry.

select quills from the skin selector. I've finished it up.

Post your nightmare story in originals, I would think. Provided its all your own OC's and whatnot.

If you want to use it, you scroll to the bottom of the forum to the skin selector. Select the "quills" skin.

As long as you're over 18 when you publish it here, it doesn't matter what age you were when you published it elsewhere before.

yep, that's what those are. Well, you can use 'em in the casino, you pay 10 points to play a game in the arcade, you can buy things in the store, there's all kinds of things you do with 'em.

hehe don't get used to it yet, not quite done with the skin. It's not going to show up here in a bit.

it's upgraded, let me know if there continues to be problems with the bank, or other things.

Considering how I normally sleep, it is inevitable that I occasionally crash and burn. Did that yesterday. Slept for 9 hours straight. Which is more than twice what I normally do.

Happy birthday my young friend!

Reference this topic. It's installed and set up. The only places where I have not enabled it, are where I've allowed guest posting. To fully participate in forum, your birthday MUST be entered in the forum db. If it is not, from this point, you have to email/pm me to have me change it, as you no longer can.

This is now completed

ewwwwww....ya just HAD to mention eggplant. blech. Some other food likings...... chinese food, especially if it's one of the hotter kinds... thai food (every bit of it I've tried is awesome!) lamb

Mars (from The Planets by Holst)

that's a written in thing I can't do anything about. I have asked about it in the modification forum, to see if when attacking much HIGHER, if it can't be turned on for points awards. The 10 levels above/below for no points is a default setting I cannot get to. Yet.

Story link This is an older story, was completed over three years ago. Anyone else here read this yet? I was poking around the archive a bit, started at the oldest stories and found this one. Enjoyed reading it. (Now you people see why I rarely write reviews)

read the topic, and see the basic reason for MAKING it a free for all. We have over 1600 members on this board, so it's not like the playing field is exactly TINY. This is a very simple game module if you think about it. You attack someone. You either frag 'em, hurt 'em and win, they retaliate hurt you more and you lose, or you suicide. It wasn't written to have equalizers built in, or anything of that nature. By attacking those of much lower levels (such as a level 1), depending on YOUR level is how many XP you actually get for your attack. Also depends on which weapon you use. Use a weapon that guarantees instant annihilation, you get less XP. Someone is 10 levels below you or more, you get no points, JUST XP. The higher your level and the lower the level of the person you're attacking makes for less XP each time. So, after a certain point in level advance, it becomes pointless to attack those of much lower levels, unless you are looking to spark a reaction and participation. Pique the user's curiosity. THAT is why it was turned into a free for all.

1. Follow general forum rules for posting conventions. 2. Understand that what one member posts as his/her view, may not be something that you agree with. Politics and related subjects are volatile in nature to discuss, if one allows that to be so in his/her reaction to a particular topic. If the topic content is something you dislike, and you find yourself not wanting to participate; stay away from that topic. That'll help keep things from devolving into a mess. 3. Please understand that what the original poster puts in his/her topic is THEIR opinion of whatever the subject matter is that they are posting about and would like to discuss. You do not have to agree or disagree with that person to participate in the discussion. I expect that views will vary widely from topic to topic. No problems with lively discussions between us all, but no personal attacks if one does not agree with something posted. That will get the topic locked and the person who attacked moderated.

what teeta said. Aside from that, I haven't had the time to devote to playing and building levels, but that is on ME, not the higher ranked players. I mean think about it.....here I was the first member to JOIN the guild I belong to, and am one of the lowest ranked players. MY fault entirely. How quickly one advances depends on how much time and work one is willing to put into it after all.
