Currently, I'm active on around five or six forums. I've seen some who have been able to actively participate on 20+ forums, and I just don't have the time to be quite that dedicated these days.

How many forums are you active on?

Personally, I've had some mixed feelings about it. I like sidebars when they are done right, but I'm not quite sure it really "fits" here quite yet. It also looks terrible on smaller monitors, so there is that to consider as well.

Anyway, I've decided to put it to a vote. What is your opinion on it? Be sure to vote in the poll!

I stumbled across this on the internet recently. There are quite a few funny lawsuits in there. One of them even is a lawsuit against google maps for incorrect directions.

I somehow managed to stumble across this on Youtube, and couldn't help but laugh. Romney seemed a bit embarrassed after the performance.

(Around 1:30 is when it starts to get interesting)

What is your preferred client for transferring files? I like Filezilla personally, but have noticed a lot of weird oddities. Sometimes it identifies "weird" files as folders. It also seems to have problems if a filename beings with a space. I'm not sure if this is a bug in Filezilla or the FTP/SFTP protocol itself.

I currently have around 700 or so songs. I'm starting to fill up my 8GB micro-SD card.

How many songs do you have on yours?

There has been a lot of discussion about IP.Board 4 on the official developmental blog for IPS services. They haven't release too many details, but generally people are expecting a release in early 2014.

So far, they are saying that a considerable amount of their codebase will be completely rewritten, and they will completely overhaul the entire file structure, plugin system, etc... Personally, I've always liked IP.Board as it is now, but there are evidently a few things that could be done more efficiently, and to hear that they are working to deal with some of those issues in the new version will be nice.

IP.Board has also promised a more modern look with their new software, which will be intersting to see, and the software suite will now be called "social suite." Honestly, I'm not too much of a fan of the new naming and branding, but IP.Board seems to be pretty confident that it will be a good change.

Anyway, so far, IP.Board 4 looks like it will be a very interesting release. What are your thoughts?

Currently, the three main contenders for paid software are vBulliten, IP.Board, and Xenforo. Burning Board seems to have its own user base, but it doesn't really seem to compete well with the other options out there, at least at first glance. vBulletin has gone downhill a bit too ever since the release of VB5, but recent updates seem to be recovering the product a bit.

Personally, if I were to choose to go for paid software, I would probably use either Xenforo or IP.Board. Xenforo seems to be more "progressive" as a forum software solution, but IP board has a reputation for a very complete product designed for professional communities. Of course I'm quite happy with MyBB at the moment as well. MyBB's customization is difficult to match, hands down.

Anyway, as far as paid software is concerned, which is your personal favorite? Be sure to vote in the poll!

Here are some funny videos I've found lurking around. Feel free to share some of your own findings in this thread as well.
