This Forum Is Not Fucked!!!!!

[preacher]

Contrary to the opinion of X11, many of the linux/unix questions asked here will be answered by those of us who still care about this forum. We might not be as knowledgeable about linux as Void Main was, but we still are smart enough to help.

Linux!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i agree, but with some fuckass changing the titles of the forums and filling the place up with crap posts all the time it's hard to get any real discussion done.

incidentally i refer you to this clause:

in the MES Rules, Policies and Disclaimers page.

edit: you're not going to be able to see those policies unless you log out first by the way, but that's an accurate quote.

I contacted the Webmaster late last night (local time), about this. I've also included a link to the screenshot I took. I only hope the guy sees it.

I also believe that there are people in this forum that can still help the newbies that come here with questions, like The Preacher, Linux User, TheQuirk, Calum and many more. As much as I respect void main, I certainly don't believe that he's the only one that can answer Linux-related questions. I have a six years experience with Linux, so I'm pretty sure I can offer a helping hand as well from time to time.

good for you and i agree.

i fixed the GNU/Linux forum description but i no longer have the necessary access to fix the windows one. refalm, muffin man or stryker will have to fix it (PM me if you don't know how), or the webmaster perhaps.

OMG! What happened there? I just saw this!   :eek:

[Calum]

you're joking! i thought that's what you meant! x11 screwed up the headings of the GNU/Linux forum and also the windows forum, i am not mod in the windows forum (as stryker took over from me) so i can't fix it there. of course x11 can always just fuck it up again whenever he feels like it even if we do fix it.

[Calum]

one other thing i just had to fix, somebody (it must have been one of the moderators of that forum, and it wasn't me) set the dead thread zone up so anybody could post topics and replies, and anybody could use html. they also helpfully set it so that all moderators receive email whenever anybody posts to the forum. pretty fucking useless if you ask me, and i vote that whoever it was stops it once and for all.

you'd think deleting the entire unix forum within weeks of taking up the moderatorly scissors would have taught us all a lesson, but no.

[Refalm]

Windoze OS forum fixed... however, I don't know the original text there, please provide me with an old screenshot.

No,no. I saw the Linux forum yesterday but not the Windows one until today.    :rolleyes:    The funny part is that I actually posted a reply on a thread at the Windows forums before I saw what X11 had done.    :confused:  

PS Oh and many thanks to Refalm for fixing it so quickly.

I don't understand this behavior by X11. Only some n00bish moron would pull BS like that, it's a sign of low intellect. I don't think X11 is an incompetent moron, so he must be the exception to the rule(rare but possible).

[suselinux]

hey there LazyGamer from prince george This is SuSE Linux from Vancouver.  

I have to say.  Some people felt some resentment because some people really like MAC OS.

Hey OSX is Unix based were in the same family, just cousins.  

frankly When Marklar (OSX for X86) comes out I'll be the first person in Canada to buy it.  I'll boot it right beside SuSE, and RedHat 7.3

I think they will get along great, better than this forum has in the past.

Frankly I think things get REALLY REALLY boring when everyone is talking about the same genral Topic (ONLY LINUX, ONLY MAC, ONLY WINFUCKYOU) because
a great chance to get a point across, or to learn something just turns into rehtoric.

heated debate is one thing, but I didn't come here to talk with a bunch of twelve year old children
about the fact that so and so is a CUNT or so and so is PRICK.

I came here to plug SuSE Linux dang it!


I wanna see a clean fight, keep it above the waste
and come out TYPING!

From Vancouver... sweet!  

Ya like Suse? Well if your gonna plug it, then tell me... what does it got to offer over Redhat?  

Besides Linux, Mac, and Windows, what else is there to talk about? Like the lounge is one thing, but these three are extremely broad topics. Perhaps you mean "It's boring to constantly praise Linux+Mac and always diss Windows".

Well I don't think most people here are 12 year oldish, they seem pretty advanced!


OSX for X86... wow! But won't that suffer from incompatiblity? IE:Can't run mac programs(which there is probably alot of by now), can't run windows programs. So it sounds like it's in the same position as Linux. Of course it has marketing clout and user friendliness.

Marklar... isn't that a southpark reference?

Nah, X11 doesn't lack intellect, that's for sure. I know for a fact that he's a very intelligent person. Unfortunately though he is very immature and his demotion from mod to member was at this time something that had to be done.
