We are online folks! I'm going to be going through and digging up the old admin passwords to see what I can do to get things going again.

  Taco Bell
Posted by: Darth-Apple - June 5th, 2013 at 12:32 AM - Forum: Poll Booth - Replies (15)

Taco bell may be popular and it may be cheap, but they also have the lowest quality meat of pretty much any restaurant anywhere, so you do get what you pay for. Many report that their food is very low quality, despite being convenient and low-priced. What's your vote?

  Forum software with a new twist?
Posted by: Darth-Apple - June 4th, 2013 at 7:48 PM - Forum: Web Design & Internet - Replies (23)

Over the past several years, it goes without saying that forums have generally declined as a form of online discussion as facebook, instagram, and other forms of online social discussion have become increasingly popular. The need for forums seems to be something that is left to support forums, etc... but as a community thing, is it still the modern trend? It appears to slowly be on the decline.

IP.Board is an example of forum software that attempts to stay ahead of the wheel. Many elements of social networking are packaged with IPB, but at heart IPB still is, and always will be, traditional forum software. Really, social networking and forums are two incompatible concepts that can't really be merged seamlessly. It's not that I don't like IPB. I love IPB, and it's one of my favorite solutions for forum software, but the concept itself still sticks towards traditional forum software.

It would without doubt be a massive project to take on, but I like taking on massive projects. My concept idea was basically to design forum software with a completely new philosophy altogether. Instead of revolving around boards and predefined structure, it would revolve around content feeds and a self-adjusting structure, and feeds would generated based on how content was tagged. In addition, while the administrator could define many feeds to be "default feeds" on the board index, users could create their own feeds and sort content by different tags, relevance to certain criteria, etc...  And feeds that were popular might show up on the portal homepage to be "liked" and rated by members.

Basically, the goal would be to revolutionize the concept to be less based on boards and a predefined structure, to be more fluid and content based. The ultimate concept is to design forum software that adjusts to the discussions being created and revolves around the content first and foremost.

Of course I have yet to write a single line of code for the project, but I think it might have some potential if it is coded well. Any thoughts?

  Rate your cell service provider
Posted by: Darth-Apple - June 2nd, 2013 at 2:42 AM - Forum: Technology & Hardware - Replies (26)

Personally, I'm on Sprint. Their quality of service is generally poor, but they are cheap and have unlimited data, so that goes into consideration as well. That said, I'd rate mine 3/5 stars.

How would you rate your cell service provider?

  Autotune - love or hate?
Posted by: Darth-Apple - June 1st, 2013 at 3:38 AM - Forum: Media & Entertainment - Replies (4)

Over the last decade especially, the use of autotune to correct faulty vocals has dramatically increased. Personally, I feel like many singers who don't have a whole lot of control over their voices can certainly compensate outside of autotune, and it is often used a crutch more than a tool. It's usually easy to recongize autotuned vocals as well, making it a poor mask for faulty vocals.

Then again, many styles of music make heavy use of it as a choice of style, so in my opinion it depends on whether it is being used as a crutch or a tool. What's your opinion? Be sure to vote in the poll!

  What are you listening to?

I am listening to How To Love by Lil Wayne.

It's the only song I like by him cause he doesn't talk continuously vulgar in this one:

This game is pretty simple. Each post simply adds four words to the story. I'll get us started.

  Are you a grammar nazi?
Posted by: Darth-Apple - May 31st, 2013 at 2:22 AM - Forum: Creative Writing - Replies (20)

Yes, I must confess that at times, I can be one myself. I'm not sure that it's really fair considering my grammar isn't as good as it could be either, but I love English, and that says enough. Tongue

So, are you a grammar nazi? Be sure to vote in the poll!
