Don't worry, you picked the right place to post that. This is where we brag about that sort of thing.

Good work, shortly you should be in the Elite Guard.

No worries ;) I've been checking your profile every few days for a couple weeks now. We'll see you on my list soon enough =)

Spike is still Spike, I've got him on my Lieutenants list and he hasn't been name changing that I've seen. Freezeman is another PID entirely.

Ok then, Interesting.....

Im no fool however and have the latest anti-virus and firewall installed on machine and know without him being in direct connection with my computer he has no chance what so ever hes such a loser ive even started getting his naked porno again!

WTF are you serious? If what you say is true, I'm going to have to put this dickhead in line myself. What AIM name did he use to impersonate me?

I just can't imagine not knowing that if you drive west from where you are, you'll hit Wales before you hit the sea.

It'd be like me not knowing if you want to drive from Texas to Florida, you've got to drive through Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama first...

If you based that on the first page of this thread, as so many noobs do, then you might have a point... except that all 200 pages of this topic are NOT like the first page.

Anyway, if you want to REALLY find out what's the pointless thread in the world (or at least on NG BBS), go check out several threads in the Clubs & Crews forum, including OCP, which is just like this thread, only their main focus is increasing their post counts, talking about posting, and constantly obsessing about the posts and pages in their thread (which we, admittedly, have been talking about lately, but we don't talk about it all the time, just at significant landmarks like 200 pages).

Main difference being, of course, that the OCP is like 3 times bigger than this thread.

Curiously, my average mark only moved down 0.01, which is weird considering the amount of crap I've reviewed recently. In case you're wondering, each green pixel upwards represents one review. However, three more 5 rated reviews and I'm at the sig picture limit and I'll need to rethink. And at this rate, I'll need to redo it in a week anyway and get rid of the captain's badge. Although clock day did help a lot. And this topic finally reached 200 pages. Hooray to the topic.

Neato. Suggestions for your pixel dilemma:

1) don't rate things 5 for awhile, so you buy some time
2) change it to 1 pixel for every 2 reviews, round up when odd.
3) you could change the graph to vertical instead of horizontal. And yes, all the scores wouldn't fit front top to bottom in the sig pic, but you could split them up as such:

0 ......... 6
1 ......... 7
2 ......... 8
3 ......... 9
4 ......... 10
5 ......... total

or something. Then the 400 pixel width of sig pics would come in real handy.

There are, to my knowledge, 3 somewhat prominent Wolfwoods who post to the NG BBS. Spike, Freezeman, and a third I can't think of at the moment.

They're all based on a Trigun character. I'm surprised you guys (well, most of you) don't know at least one of them from general. Spike, for one, posts a lot, and has for a long time.

And thus concludes my 4-replies-in-1 multipost.

Face it Gfox, some people are just lazy and/or uninterested in geography (like me!)

Hey there Lightning! I see you have gotten your new sig pic from War_Machine.........nice i like that it really suits you majorly.........

grumble still need 8 more protects to update my sig. After that I can get back to the big game hunt again. XkwiziTs are still in season, right?

I have never had a day with under 25% blam rate before yesterday. It is soooo hard to keep remembering click the portal button instead of 0 LOL

lol i'm gonna level to 3 in 2 days lol thats my birthday lol

hey, just beacuse i wont find this topic again, im just going to say that i have another fourty points i have to get before i level up, so yeah...

This topic is easy to find so long as you end up in this forum lol.

It's only a minor difference, but kind of important so people know what you're talking about. Level is the term used for experience, while rank is the term used for your Blam/Save total. Things start seeming to get more difficult after you get to 500, but it's all in your mind. Just keep at it =)

I'm not Spike. We are two completely different people who just so happen to have the word Wolfwood in are names. (Wolfwood's the name of a guy from Trigun if you didn't know.)

Geez this sucks. I was over at my nieces' for a few minutes fixing whatever the hell they did to their PC again and "tested" it by popping into the forums. While I was here, I discovered that none of the .gifs people have been using as sigs and in their posts appear animated when I'm on my home PC. I was really impressed with X and lightnings. When I'm at home they're OK pictures, but they look so much better animated.

I've spent the last hour or so checking a bunch of things it could be, but none of them get the gifs moving. I'm on WinME (it's just a 98 derivative if you're not familiar with it) with IE6. Already tried the internet options and cleared and rechecked the "play animations in web pages box." Any other thoughts?

Heh, everything shows up fine under Netscape 6.2. The oddest thing ... I saved X's sig while under IE, then saved it while under Net. The IE copy is not animated. The Netscape copy is.

Now I'm annoyed ...

I have win98 2nd Ed. with IE5, and I occasionally encounter that problem of no animation in my signature. I just refresh the page once or twice and the animation works.

Multiple refreshes didn't work on theirs. I tried that as I was diddling around with various media and firewall options trying to see if there was anything it could be.

Now that you posted, I'm reminded that I've never had a problem with your sig not being animated. Maybe it's whatever WarMachine is using to make those sigs I'm having compatability problems with. It shouldn't be an issue since they are all .gifs, but it another possibility.

Geography was always my favorite thing at school in elementary school. Sure, math was interesting, I didn't mind English, etc. etc. But the geography aspect of Social Studies classes was always my fave. I love maps. Coastlines... the beauty of the planet from above.

So I take it personally when geography's good name is spat upon! #;-}>

Indeed they are. Looks like you already bagged yourself a Mr_Chuckles there. And he's a fine specimen indeed.

Not QUITE as rare as an XkwiziT, though. They's crafty bastards, you'll 'ave quite a time tryin' ta catch 'im!
