In the future you should tell new members this rule that I didn't know until now, to use default font family, default font size, no colorful banners, no bold white letters and black back ground so this mistake will not happen again.

  It will take time go through this thread and change my font and delete my colorful banners but I promise I will.

   Thank you for your time

Goomnii. What fraking rule?

I know your a kid and i'm trying to temper my response as such, but CL made it clear in his thread that it's not a rule per se.

I think, given your age and the general temperament of the ToE that it might be best if you didn't come in here.

No-one wants or is trying to offend you but the age difference is far to great and i for one don't want to have to watch what i say in my own empire thread.

I have already deleted you from the ToE website as i don't think our content is suitable for someone of your age.

You have done little to nothing wrong, but you need to grasp that what you see as fun, or normal behavior is not what we see. Many of us are older than your father even.

Imagine a group of middle aged men chatting with a young girl.

Just doesn't sit right with me.

The ToE is not the place for you, as much for your own concerns as well as our sanity.

   Ok, Neilo, I am sorry that you feel that way and it doesn't matter what you say in your own thread because it is, after all your thread and with that said I will do as you ask so this will be my last post in your thread.

   Oh by the way, How come I can't open up my own empire thread, you would not know anything about why someone could not open up a thread. It acts like a virus blocking entry to a thread? Has that ever happen to some one?

Edit: Nevermind the question, my thread was fixed today.

I hope this isn't a double post.  I hit submit a long, long time ago and nothing seemed to have happenned.  Other pages opened up on the site, but my post just sat there.  I'm hitting submit again after refreshing the page many times and not seeing it...

What a weekend! The wind blew some of the upper deck of our roof  into our neighbor's lawn.  We had the insurance folks and roofers out and now part of our roof is covered with a stately blue plastic tarp.  Classy, it is.    

The Texas Longhorns are replacing their field with astroturf and decided to sell off the existing live turf in 1 square foot sections during their spring jamboree scrimmage game yesterday.  A once in a lifetime thing and only being sold for a period of 6 hours.  Of course, we went and bought up some of that.  Nice gifts, ya know.  I made planters from drain boards that I found at the store and glued on some of the Longhorn logos.  They look pretty cool.  Gave the first one out this morning.

No gaming time.  We put our garden in and I'm scoping out where to plant some of this grass we bought. 

I see that there's been some trivial drama in the meantime.  I looked at GmOOnii's profile and it says she's 30 years old.  There are rumors that she's much younger, but I seem to recall the TOU saying something to the effect that you need to be at least 13 to be on these forums.  If GmOOnii is indeed younger than that, there's some misrepresentation going on that might need to be addressed. 

Perhaps we need a dev or two to get involved with this.  At least some clarification would be nice.  I'll leave a PM and raise the question.

Huh...seeing some curious behaviour with Karma.

I have noticed that since i was last on, say about 2 hours ago, i have seen both KP's and SS Karma drop by a point, and Dys's by as many as 3-5.

Anyone else notice that?

Is that retro-active though?

I'm having some problems with my account on the ToE site. Both the username and password are autofilled so there will be no errors, but it won't let me log in.

Any help would be appreciated.

The Undying.

So it be so. When is it not time for evil?

Welcome to the Empire mate. Check out the private Tyranny of Evil forums mate.

Good to have you with us!

@Undying. Sorry mate, the aViVa account was deleted. To be honest, i thought your intentions with us were over. If you wish to reg again i will activate you.

SolusLunes, congratulations on making your way to the finest club of GC2 scoremongers! Here, have one of my Altarian slave girls and a double serving of Kzinti nuggets as a welcome gift.

I had a great birthday yesterday!  It all started when work called me in for an emergency repair at 2:30 A.M.  They couldn't get a hold of the guy on call or the alternate, so it fell to me.  That's what happens when you're the boss.  I worked on it until my crew came in and I took the rest of the day off.

My wife took me to lunch at the only place around that has Icelandic Cod.  We had to go two cities away to Austin.  While there, we went to Frys and she bought me a 24 inch Widescreen monitor.  It's just an AWESOME monitor!  Here's the web link...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009167

It's a fast 2ms High Def Gaming monitor.  (Of course, I snuck around and bought one for her, too while we were in Austin.  We don't go there as often as we used to. )

And now, I have just 3 hours left for the workday today and I'm off for a 3 day weekend.  It doesn't get much better than that. 

Glad you had a great day mate, even if it didn't kick of so well.

But let me get this right, on your B'day you bought your missus a new monitor!.

You and my missus are never allowed to talk!!! 

If she got wind of that. i'd be be playing the self tuned instrument for quite some time i think...

dys will probably weigh in on this as well, but the GTX260 (216 cores) may be a better idea, assuming it's within the budget. 

Though I guess one should also consider what you're running on now...

Love those guys.  Running an X1950GT myself.  But it can't Fold anymore (for a long time, actually), so I "need" (read: want) something newer.  For my purposes, the GTX260 c216 would be far superior to the GTS250 (aka 9800GTX/9800GTX+), but for yours, it might not be worth the extra cash, particularly as you're looking at (I believe, based on your link in another thread) a $130 GTS250 (gotta love EVGA).
