THE PACK Message Boards

I mostly agree with you there, Matt. There are some policies out there that make it easier to slack off in poverty. I have friends that are still doing it with Social Security, and it does make me feel bitter that they wont better themselves and make a living. However, I have read (in my company's l...

Lets not have any more personal attacks. I don't mind some finely detailed debating as long as it stays friendly. We all went into this politcal race with ignorance, but with some conversation and reading, anyone can have a carefully decided opinion that wont cause more painfully violent reading. Ba...

I think that as long as we have enough moderators that the boards are checked once or twice a day, it should be enough. I'd definately feel more at ease too.

Most voters didn't see it coming, so blame someone else please. No offense, but are you sure you just didn't want to see it coming? Bush and Cheney were talking about making it illegal to speak against the government way back in 2002 -- seemed pretty obvious what would happen from where I was watch...

Eff anyone that gives half a crap about Bill Ayers or Reverend Wright. Eff anyone that calls Obama a "terrorist," "Arab," "socialist" or "foreigner." Eff Bush, Cheney and their flunkies for putting us in this s--thole situation. Eff the people that put Bush, ...

There are admins that have been absent for half a year or more. I think that would be considered excessive. Of course we can keep Mr. Brownrigg on as an admin. He's the founder after all.

I know I'm gonna be flamed for this but i don't care!! Obama winning the election is nothing to be excited about. The people he allied with and/or associated him self with freaking scares me like the domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, and the racist reverend of his. His socialist agenda is gonna destro...

On a side note, and extending from Baphnedia's idea, I think we should have board-specific mods, because then we can make a lot of people happy without giving too much power to a small group too soon. There seems to be a lot of people that deserve to be moderators, but some may be more suited for c...

It must be infuriating that Aussies have to deal with that. Well, on the brighter side, they can just mod their system and download the games off the internet. Then, BOOM! You own contraband!

What I think makes a good moderator encompasses traits that can effecitvely combat elitism. - Fair non-biased sense of judgement with no favoritism. - Never using admin abilities for pratical jokes or personal revenge on members. Only to enforce rules. - Mature, level-headed/ down to earth, and rare...

Some games make me so frustrated that I could end up being one of the whiners, which for me means I don't play those games. This includes any games related to Racing, Guitar Hero, DDR, arcade style shooters, and most MMORPGs where Player-Killing is allowed. I typically stick to social MMOs, simulato...

Austrailia already holds the record for most video games banned from a country.

We don't really know, but here's the difference: Melamine contamination in chinese milk products was killing thousands of Chinese babies per month (and found to be the Cause of Death). Food poisoning across the US, last I recall, is only about 9,000 across all age brackets. The official story says ...

Probobly. I've been waiting to hear what other Pack members would think of me doing so, but only have answers from a couple so far.

Fox bought the rights to make a Joe The Plumber sitcom.

Went to a friend's apartment for a party. Had a grand total of 2 trick-or-treaters.

Melamine is also a metabolite of cyromazine, a pesticide. It is formed in the body of mammals who have ingested cyromazine. Cows that eat feed that was treated with cyromazine can develop the chemical in their bloodstream, and even in their milk. Larger animals are less likely to show effects of Mel...

I decided that we'll do the 3 strike your out deal as Kaebora once did for another thread. Lets please try to keep it cool folks :P Whatever system you feel works best for the situation. Politics always seems to light fires here. :( Note to everyone. If you can't laugh at yourself (or your politica...

It's a win or lose kind of show. Some episodes are hilarious. Others are just trying too hard and aren't worth a laugh. I never laughed so hard during the farting contest episode. The Flatulence Assisted Rectal Tubing (F.A.R.T.) just took it to a level of funny that floored me. :lol: Take a look... ...

Yay!

('course, I have no money to buy it.)

In hindsight, you could have saved the money for it in anticipation of the release date.

The mere fact that people do that to me when I'm away from home from 7am - 5pm at work during the week... means they have 10 hours to do whatever they have to do regarding internet before I get home. If I come home and want to hog the connection with XBox Live (it saps the bandwidth) I should have t...

Indeed. We're mostly discussing improvements for the web design side of things. Personally, all I would change is the "online status" text colors for verified users, moderators, and admins on the index page. Admins - Blue Moderators - Yellow Verified Users - Gold Unverified Users - Dark Vi...

Can we get an idea of your general location, state, or city... to decern just how crazy it is? When it snowed three to four feet here in the desert of Albuquerque in 2005, THAT was crazy. It looked like the Siberian wastelands.

The strange but true fact is that numerous countries ban games for various censorship reasons. Violence, cruelty, sexual content, and even portraying a country as the antagonist can trigger such a ban. Take a look at this list, and lets discuss. List of Banned Video Games One that they failed to lis...

Games made after movies typically suck. Movies made after games typically suck. Comics made into movies or games typically rocks everyone's socks. Reason? It's a storyboard and a whole mess of concepts all rolled into one. To be honest, Uwe Boll doesn't strike me as the kind of person that would pla...
