Re: Announcment: please read

Yours till time have no glory, yours till Denny fails to sing
Yours till the end of life's story this pledge to Sports-two I bring
Yours in the depth of Denny's eyes, or some far distant shore
I've never loved anyone the way I love you
How could I, When I was born to be just Denny's

(a bunch of Spanish I don't know)
Cuando se quiere deveras come te querio yo a ti
Es imposible mi cielo tan seperados vivir cuando se quiere deveras
Cuando se quiere deveras...

To everything (post, post, post)
There is an S2 (post, post, post)
And a time for every thread, under Denny

A time to login, a time to be banned
A time to troll, a time to flame
A time to mod, a time to spam
A time to laugh, a time to LOL

Re: Announcment: please read

Let's post!
Let's post!

Let's post, put on your red font and post the news
Let's post, to the game they're playin' on the telly

Let's troll, while color ignites your face
Let's troll, troll through the thread to an empty space

If you say spam, I'll spam with you
And if you say quote, we'll quote
Because my love for s2
Would break my heart in two
If Denny should fall
Into the abyss
And tremble like Oregon-live....

Let's dance
Let's dance

 

[julius]

I guess now it's time
For me to give up, I feel it's time.
Got a picture of Denny beside me,
Got his lipstick mark still on his coffee cup.

Got a list of v4 emoticons,
Got a thread of shattered posts,
Gotta leave it, gotta leave it all behind me.

Whatever I said, whatever I did,
I didn't post it, I just want you back for good.
(Want you back, want you back, want you back for good.)

Whenever I'm wrong, just tell me the thread
And I'll delete it, you'll be right and understood,
(Want you back, want you back, want you back for good.)
I want you back for good.....

Lying in my vomit I hear the deer tick,
And think of you
You’re calling me out, I can’t hear
What you’ve said
Then you say go blow...
Kiss my behind
The second post unwinds

If you’re lost you can do a search and you will find me
Time after time
If you fail I will laugh at you I’ll be waiting
Time after time

If you’re lost you can search and you will find me
Time after time
If you fail I will catch you I’ll be waiting
Time after time

Time after time
Time after time
Time after time

Can you hear him?
He talks about us
Telling lies
Well that's no surprise

Can you see him?
See right through him
He has no sense
No secrets to reveal

It doesn't matter what he says
In the stupid games he likes to play
His mouth should be sealed

Canzano talks
Through paper walls
We can't stop him
Only laugh at him

Spreading rumors
So far from true
Dragged up from the underworld
Just like some coaching change...

It doesn't matter what he says
In the lazy posts people make
His brain should be sealed...

(Ain't no woman like HCP's wife...)
(Ain't no woman like HCP's wife...)

Every day the sun comes up around her
She can make the birds sing harmony
Every drop of rain is glad it found her
Heaven must have made her just for me (and beer boy, and the milkman)
When she smiles so warm and tender
A sore for sight eyes to see
Oooh
(Ain't no woman like HCP's wife...)
Oh, no, they don't come better
(To make her happy doesn't take a lot)
She don't ask for things, no diamond rings
(Sewn together, like a hand in glove)
Like pages in a letter
(Ain't no woman like HCP's wife...)

She can fill me up when it's down I'm goin' (I'm goin')
Put a little hummer in my day
Wouldn't be surprised if dat ass keeps growin' (it keeps growin')
Bigger every minute that she stays away
I would kiss the ground she walks on
'Cause it's my word, my word she'll obey, now

Woo-ooh
(Ain't no woman like HCP's wife...)
Well, I kiss the ground she walks on
(To make her happy doesn't take a lot)
She's a real good friend right to the end
(Sewn together like a hand in glove)
A lonely man when she's gone
(People, ain't no woman like the one I love)

Oooh, what a good, good thing I've got
She means to me a lot

(Ain't no woman like HCP's wife...)
No, no, they don't come better
(To make her happy doesn't take a lot)
She don't ask for things, no diamond rings
(So together, like a hand in glove)
Like pages in a letter
(Ain't no woman like HCP's wife, people!)

(Ain't no woman like HCP's wife...)
Well, I kiss the ground she walks on
(To make her happy doesn't take a lot)
I'm a lonely man when HCP's in town....

be honest.

That's not hard to do.

There is a thread on this in the off topic section too. People were mentioning different web browsers and if certain things worked with what. I use Safari, does the block function people were talking about work for me.

I can't hear you.

Re: Announcement: please read

OK, ok
changed the settings so it shows "Today 3:39PM" like it used to.

Bitchin' !
Ed O and I got it done with only 2 votes!
When the left and right unite, watch out, establishment!

Now I'll throw out another idea. The ESPN board shows all times in the time zone you tell it when you register. But here, you have to subtract some hours, and I always forget how many. I think it's 2 to get PDT and 3 to get PST. Why can't this board customize the time zone for each reader? If it can't be that elastic, why not default to Pacific Time, since that's where most board members are?

Re: Announcement: please read

Actually, I don't remember how that board knows your time zone. It might not be when you register. It might read the time zone setting from your browser. I created my 20 aliases there 6-7 years ago so I forgot how it works.

Can you lighten up the pictures? For example, in Denny's avatar, I can't see what you're holding. Cartoon avatars are light enough, but photograph ones are dark.

Does anyone really care about "Similar threads" at the bottom? Basketball Reference got rid of "similar players" at the bottom of its player pages. And how is "Replies: 51 Last Post: 08-10-2007, 02:12 PM" related? It's in the "Similar threads" box. I can see the same information on the main Blazer page. Why waste resources repeating it like a parrot?

Can you put in more than 25 posts per page? 33 would mean 3/4 as many clicks and would greatly ease my life. 67 would be 3/8 as many clicks.

At the bottom, why do you waste my time with "Bookmarks, Digg, del.icio.us, StumbleUpon, Google"? I have no curiosity at all to click and find out what they are.

Are the "Posting Permissions" at the bottom really necessary? Every time I read "You may not post new threads, You may not post replies, You may not post attachments, You may not edit your posts" I get pissed off. Why not just let the poster find out when he tries? Why do we have to coddle the lazy butt who wonders whether he can post so he checks the Permissions?

Does every single page really have to repeat in yellow at the top, "If this is your first visit, be sure to check out the FAQ by clicking the link above. You may have to register before you can post: click the register link above to proceed. To start viewing messages, select the forum that you want to visit from the selection below." If you feel impelled to repeat this Message for the Morons a million times, can't you flash it in alternating childlike colors?

Who's the jackass who stuck in "TOP" at the top of every single post? Why didn't you stick in "BOTTOM" at the bottom of single fucking post? Is it too hard to grab the scroll bar on the right side and drag that whole motherfucking page to the top? How much extra loading time is there per 25-post page because of those extra 25 links? Plus there's a 26th one in the bottom right of the page. What about people on NetZero who wait 3 minutes for each page to load? They are already miserable and now this.

Why the HELL do you think you have a rep power of 10? Don't you know that except for me, everyone kisses your ass? I once knew a 10 and Denny, you're no 10. Like God, if your rep power is less than infinity, isn't that a grand failure on your part? Like creating only 7 days to fill an 8-day week? How is rep power calculated? Is it an exponent in some secret formula? How come I get reps but my rep power number says everyone hates me? Because I never pay them back? I've given 1 rep since I got here and next Christmas I plan to give another.

How come at the bottom it says "English (US)" and when I click on it, there are no other languages offered? Then why have it? Is this your political commentary about Mexicans?

You can stay logged in so when you open your browser and go to our URL, you don't have to log in again. Then you don't have to see the yellow bit at the top, or the extra ad in the first post. The ad, we tried to get rid of yesterday, but it's not as easy as it sounds.

FWIW, vBulletin (the company) built all these features in based upon the feedback of operators of over a million sites. We got a lot of new users signed up yesterday, probably because of that yellow thing and the ad.

Reputation is based upon reputation you give and that you receive, and the rep power of who gives you reputation votes. Admins start by default with 10, that's the way it is. But all us admins are truly 10s.

I put the TOP link in, because it's less wear on peoples' mouse wheels. At the top, you have the breadcrumb (way to get to Blazers > OT Forum, either forum), and settings link (which has your subscribed threads list), among other things.

If people used the social bookmarking feature (Digg, etc.), it'd certainly drive more traffic to the site. Ya digg?

You can change this for yourself in UserCP. I have mine set to the maximum (40 per page).
up at the top, settings, then sidebar: my account: general settings, then scroll down to thread display options.

For what it's worth, I also set mine so that the new posts appear first instead of last. I find that quicker.

Everything I said was a joke, guys. 66 2/3 posts per page would make it exactly 3/8, but I didn't want to get over the top...But maybe I'll change it to 33 1/3 to make it exactly 3/4.

You guys CAN do math, right?

How much oney do I have to pay to NOT have overstock.com commercials in the middle of the posts?

You shouldn't see that ad if you're logged in.

I'm working on getting rid of it.
