The government literally has just over four hours to pass a budget before it faces yet another shutdown. Due to obamacare being on the table this time, I doubt it will be a short shutdown personally.

What are your thoughts about this situation?

First, I'd like to say thank you to an awesome community of members that have made 5,000 posts possible for the community. While I was not able to get some of the planned updates completed immediately after we hit our 5,000 post milestone, I have finally been able to get a few updates in place.

- Pop Up Profiles
We now have popup mini-profiles that show up anytime you click someone's username. If you'd like to go to any user's full profile, just click the "profile page" link on the popup profile.

- Improved footer stats
Take a look. You'll see the difference!

- A new alternative theme
Courtesy of Dreadlord, we now have a premium audentio theme installed. Our current theme will remain the default theme, but the alternative theme is available under "Citrus" in your profiles.

I plan on pushing a few additional updates (including some theme-related updates) very soon. Stay tuned!

What is your least favorite music genre? Is there a music genre that you simply dislike, and don't want to hear any song belonging to it?

www.MyDaddyCool.com is an on-line forum community for fathers to share their tips on parenting and experiences as dads. It is also meant as a hang-out area - call it a man cave if you like...

Dads can start threads on topics they are interested in and contribute to threads started by other dads. MyDaddyCool is a group effort.

I invite you to share your tips, adventures, thrills and spills on your journey as dads. I hope you enjoy the forum. I look forward to hanging out on-line with fellow dads and picking up anything that helps us to be better fathers.

See you on line!

I am a big fan of stealth strategy games. My favorite ones so far were the Commandos series and the first game from the Desperados series.

Have you played any stealth strategy games? What do you think about this genre?

Are you subscribed to any youtube channel? Are there any youtubers whose videos you regularly watch? Who is your favorite youtuber?

The makestation blog was originally intended to be a hub for all kinds of content related to creative arts, particularly technical arts, graphics design, webmaster tools, etc... As many of you know, it has been a bit slow lately, and I'd like to turn things around a little and put some more useful content up on the blog. I believe it really has a lot of potential to become a nice touch for the community, and my goal is to bring it up to 2 posts/week on average.

If any of you guys here at Makestation are interested, feel free to submit a short "application" below! The only real requirement is the ability to write fairly decent posts that will be interesting for readers and fit our niche as a creative arts community, and if you meet those "criteria," you will qualify to submit your application.

Also, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!

Personally, I'm not really a fan in most cases because they can be difficult to moderate, and significantly bring down forum activity in most cases. They can be very nice to have in some cases as well, however.

What is your opinion?

Do you like RPG or mmorpg gaming or are you a roleplayed?
If so, RPG (roleplaying games) lounge is the site you need!
