  1. No more Hostess Twinkies, Ho-Ho's, Ring Dings...a sad day for America.

  2. One week until I get to stuff my face with turkey and all the fixins'.

  3. Removed sidebar ad on forum home to leave more room for content. Moved Teams & League discussion up higher to follow General discussion boards and place more focus on discussion vs video boards. Shoutbox will now appear on forum/topic listings, but should be blocked from appearing on other pages (homepage, videos, gallery, etc).
  4. On just the new skin or all skins?
  5. Feeling bad for those still without power from Sandy. Temps are freezing now and it sucks.

  6. Sounds like one of the more entertaining movement based games. Enough to get me to pick up Move though? I doubt it. I'm still pretty much anti-movement controls. I don't own a Wii, a Kinect, or Move. Wii U isn't even on my radar. My biggest issue with those types of games is that they rarely keep me entertained for more than 15 minutes. For the price of the equipment and games that's really not worth it. Not when I can go pick up a copy of Halo 4 or Black Ops 2 and be entertained for hours at a time. Sure, I'd play Champions 2 if I were visiting someone who happened to have it set up. It just won't be making its way into my own setup any time soon.
  7. Been doing a lot of catching up in the last couple of weeks. Let's see: Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter: 5/10 Prometheus: 7/10 Expendables 2: 9/10 Stolen: 8/10 Men in Black 3: 7/10 As usual, my ratings probably speak to my preferences for things going boom frequently, with Expendables 2 as my top pick in the list.
  8. Perhaps, but it seems something would be better than nothing.
  9. I was planning for something else to take its place. Stay on the site for a few, we can see how this goes.
  10. I got tired of the default black. If you haven't been able to tell by the super bright colors for mods and admins, I really like color. So I decided members needed some too. Also helps identify at a quick glance what active posters we have online. I also lowered the requirement of getting out of New Members and into Full Members to only 3 posts. That restriction still exists because New Members can only private message staff to prevent spam.
  11. Lowered yearly subscription to $24. Yearly price is now 25% cheaper than quarterly subscription price. (When paid for a full year)

  12. @mention notification will be shown in the Notifications drop down at the top of the board if you are mentioned. However, notification will be sent only if "Notify me when someone quotes my posts" option is enabled in your control panel notification preferences. Tutorials would be started with just stuff about the board, but may be expanded to allow people to post stuff like video editing tutorials and maybe graphics type tutorials if our graphics section ever makes a comeback. I haven't noticed that issue, but I'm rarely ever on FB. I just figured something was totally strange with your account, because I looked at your account at 3:13am (my time), and it showed you active, but you weren't even showing on the active user list. Anonymous or not, I should have known you were there. Maybe refresh your cache to get all of the new changes?
  13. Not sure that will work Luke, since the BB code for member wasn't used. At least, the notification won't be properly sent.
  14. lol, it certainly does.
  15. Today I am announcing the general availability of a new theme for all members entitled simply, "Modern". A preview of the new theme is available below. This theme may not be for everyone, but that is why we offer several to choose from. Some of the features of this new theme include: reduced page scrolling due to use of hover for descriptions, faster thread loading with a reduced member info block, and a customizable color selector to add your own bit of personalization as you browse. As with all skins, you can select this theme for use by using the "Change Theme" link at the very bottom of the page.
  16. I have those notifications turned off for my profile, but if you have it enabled on yours then you should receive the notification.
  17. It's part of the addon for selective quoting, so yeah. Trying to add more features to the board. More stuff still to come, I just need another day with more free time to get it done.
  18. The top part of the theme is a permanent element. I considered changing the color, but that would effect everyone. Blue is fairly easy to match with the color picker, some others not as much. I too have a small glitch on the color picker, that once I select a color and click the check mark to okay it, I can't open the picker again. If that is the problem you are having, it works again if you refresh the page. I do have a couple more themes planned for the future, but there is an update to Classic I need to work on first, and a huge gallery issue with Create that also needs to fixed. As for Simple Blue, I've yet to find "the one" that will replace it as default. It's still a bit plain for my liking, but it did go over well. It is still the most user-selected theme. Prime, which was actually a favorite of mine, seems to have gone over quite poorly, so it seems the search will continue.
  19. Dang John, that is a serious piece of equipment. I always just used to have on of those basic plastic red or blue sleds that probably cost under $2 to manufacture. Finally killed the last sled I had several years ago when we got some rope and tied it to the back of a truck. Worked great flying down the street until we hit a dry patch and it shredded the bottom.
  20. Haven't got into Breaking Bad, but definitely awaiting the return of Walking Dead. Only four days to go!
  21. Maybe for punishment they can just put him back in the cage with the tiger. Just another case where Darwinism needs to be allowed to work properly.
  22. The remakes. I'm really not a fan of old tv shows.
  23. Hey, sorry I missed that bit in your post, but just enclose it in media tags and it should work. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaR0M9rS-yQ[/media] Result:
  24. Well, if anything it will go on the back burner for me. I'm currently watching Revolution and Hawaii Five-O. I have to pick up on Doctor Who as the first few episodes of season 7 have already aired, and Walking Dead comes back in under 2 weeks.
  25. Thanks for the feedback. 6 seasons is a long amount of time to invest in any show, so I try to find the ones I know will be worth it. As for Lost, I was never really too excited about the concept, but if it was really worth watching than I might have still given it a shot.
