I'm tired of trying to justify outages. If we're going to get shit all over by people like UN for providing a free service, then so be it. Yes, UN. We're terrible people.

I think the site does pretty good for a 10-year old, non-commercial, volunteer driven site.

Thanks for the free beer!

I personally appreciate the free service you provide. Greatly. And I appreciate your willingness to provide it in the face of ungrateful wretches like me. But I do have an opinion on the image policy, and if feel that my voicing said opinion is "shitting all over you", then I'm sorry you feel that way, but you're wrong. I just prefer my images to be hosted from where I host them from.

Perhaps the new feature could be purposefully written to exclude re-hosting of images from imgur.com and min.us?

Feel free to upload images to imgur seperately all you want. If we redowoad those images and they go poof chances are the thread will go poof too, so your argument is pretty much moot. If you don't want content hosted here for copyright reasons then you should not be posting it on public forums anyways. You just like making noise for the sake of making noise.

Fucking rough six months.

Revolution Smile II suffers minor setback.

Well, yeah, the site crashed, was down for over a month, and I lost all game data I ever had and had to start over. On a scale of 1-10, at the very least that's rough enough for me to complain about it, I'd say.

Why do people keep bringing up join dates in arguments, is that the cool kids thing to do? It's fucking retarded.

And is "Revolution Smile" supposed to be "Resolution Smile?" :)


No it's not. This is a second run at something from well before your time. I think it's from earlier than your earlier account too.

EBWOP: I just want to echo the order sentiments that you should be thankful for the times this site is up, not bitching about the times that it's down. The donate thread exists too, just letting you know.

From my point of view, to use as an example, I will use pics for the song contest. Band pics. To make it easier for Matias I generally try and find something that is close to his pixel recommendations. I obviously don't want to hurt ms in a way but if I do, its not me doing it deliberately. To get punished for it seems a bit unfair.

I think my solution is pretty elegant, in that we wouldn't need to penalize people for linking images from potentially dangerous places.

I'll likely implement it eventually, in the meantime this policy is fine. Reupload the image if you are worried about it prozac.
Taking a break from the site.

Without being impatient about it, and I know more than likely what you'll response will be, that can take time.
