260	favorite old computer games	There COOL...	arizvega	Dec 20, 2012
259	1995	I do keep a 95 computer around for playing DOS games and some other old software. Since I like horizontal ("pizza box") cases I can keep the old computer in stack with the new one, and a KVM switch makes it easy. [offtopic] Win7 is better than Vista but some things still disappoint. It takes so long to boot, even on i7 3GHz! Multiple display handling, hot swapping drives, and repair network connection don't work as well as they do in XP. I still prefer a tweaked XP or even 2000. I only jumped from XP to 7 so I could have 6+ GB of RAM. [/offtopic]	shakin steak	Dec 20, 2012
258	Proposed Update Package for the site	Not only will all those features be added, but additionally you will have to compete in a "Tron" style race in order to simply "Log In". Hope you don't fear speed.	Vaporman87	Dec 20, 2012
257	If you could create your own cereal...	Which makes me wonder, why is it that more cereal producers do not release "throwback" cereals for limited release? Rarely does that happen.	Vaporman87	Dec 20, 2012
256	1995	@shakin I would give anything for Windows 95 to be compatible with today's software, because my Vista is teh suxxorz!!!	Vaporman87	Dec 20, 2012
255	1995	I remember when the Atlanta Braves won the World Series that year. What a good year it was!	Mr Magic	Dec 20, 2012
254	1995	Lots of tragedies that year. <ul><li>Oklaholma City bombing <li>Unabomber <li>Flight 965 crash <li>Selena <li>Windows 95</li></ul>	shakin steak	Dec 20, 2012
253	Proposed Update Package for the site	Yeah, I have thought about getting people here vs waiting for the site to be fully "ready". Like crow said, take your time. I didn't want to put articles before then, but also you need content to have up. Can you make the forum VRML so I can navigate like Johnny Mnemonic/Minority Report/fsn (Jurassic Park Unix)? With datagloves and stereo display please. Put an animation of the Rad Racer car (or A-Team van) driving me to the next thread when I click on it. And when I post a reply, make Photog Smurg carry it into the thread, lol	shakin steak	Dec 20, 2012
252	Proposed Update Package for the site	First of all, I did indeed notice the difficulty FireFox has with displaying the signatures properly. That is a fix hopefully won't require too much labor. If I recall, think the signatures don't show up right on smart phones either. I'll have to double check that. As far as promotion, I put it on hold when I realized how difficult it was getting the developer to answer my requests regarding the transfer process. I didn't want to go around yelling from the internet rooftops, only to have those who respond come visit a site that is suddenly no longer there or functioning correctly because of some transfer issue. That being said, I have plans for word of mouth AND internet advertising in order to promote the site. All of these listed ideas are great. I am currently putting together the second package of update info, complete with mock images as with the first. I will include as many of these as possible in it. I presented the first package to a gentleman with whom I had previously worked with on another project, and he was very willing to help. However, he is not familiar with the Yii framework (on which this site is built), so he had to decline. So, it appears I will be shopping these updates around to other places and trying to do as much research on their practices as I can prior to giving them the job.	Vaporman87	Dec 20, 2012
251	Proposed Update Package for the site	Signatures don't seem to work right in Firefox. They show up in the middle of original post. Like <a href="http://i.imgur.com/xVqyD.png">this</a>. Is fine in Internet Explorer and Chrome. How does the recent threads thing work? Past few days it doesn't seem to change at all. Threads aren't getting bumped with new posts. Or is this due to issues with the host. Do you have any way or plan to promote this site? Trying to think outside the box... <ul><li>It would be nice if the website can track what each user has already read, and show on the thread list which threads have posts that you have not seen yet.</li> <li>Also, a link to post history on each user's profile page. Useful for trying to find past thread conversations. Each post in history should link to the thread/page where it appears.</li> Those are kind of in the box. I've seen them on other forums and found very useful... <li>What if the forums can change style sheets? (colors, background image, font) Either at the reader's choice, or randomly load, or have a distinct theme for each category of thread? Readability should be maintained and respected, but to emulate different environments or display technologies.</li> <li>I mentioned this back when the preview first went up, if articles can have have different backgrounds that the author can choose. Besides notebook paper, the background could be dot matrix printer (with paper coming up), a typewriter, old computer screen (like DOS), etc. With appropriate font for these things.</li> <li>Similarly, if there are choices for profile background. Besides the floppy disk, maybe there could be other choices like a hoosier cabinet, a chalk board, VHS tape, a circuit board, '57 Ford, a film projector, old-fashioned fridge or oven. More chances for people to display their personality in their profile.</li> <li>Also for the profile: lists. Favorite movies, bands, shows, books, etc. Customizable (not everybody wants to put their favorite bands but maybe somebody wants to have fav inventors or fav British 60s motorcycles.) Is that too MySpace?</li> Not very revolutionary I'm afraid, but it's ideas I got for now	shakin steak	Dec 20, 2012
