Re: Ask The Staff 'Anything'

All I know is that he has the wyoming area code.. 307 I think.. Who knows..I could be misled. I guess I'll have to try and look him up in the phonebook. Wait.. I forgot his name.. Crap. :'(

How does banning work is it permanent, dont get me wrong I don't want to get struck by a bolt of banning:) Just curious suppose:)
You're banned. Get out immediately and leave the pot plant behind. The rest of your things will be forwarded to you in an email containing several viruses. Have a nice day.

Oh the hilarity etc. Well, my gorgeous husband already covered it pretty much - if you are a lickle bit naughty you may get banned for 24 hours (sometimes for your own sake if nothing else!). If you are just plain nasty and unwilling to follow rules or sort out a current situation which you are involved in, then we unfortunately sometimes have to remove that person from the boards on a permanent basis. Thankfully this is very rare and it would take an awful lot to push one of the staff into that sort of situation. Filthy little spammers are banned instantly if they manage to slip through the mod we have to collect spambots and idiots.

@Angel thanx, so pretty standard then, I was also wondering why when some threads are closed, they still get posts. Is it a mod thing? :)

We are sneaky...

Nah, all staff have the power to mess with a thread after it is closed and we can post in them as well so that we get the final word, if necessary. Sometimes one of us will forget to put something and another of the staff can just post the extra info nice and easily.

Or, if it's me closing the thread, I'll often say "thread closed" and then forget to actually do it so people get extra posts in before I remember...or more often the case, Andy, Tsuyu or Steve close it for me ;)

I can't be sure that you guys will know the answer, but what the hey! :D
I gots Fable, again, for the PC.. And the guy said it's not gonna work on vista.. I was all like :realmad::':)realmad: (In that order) when i got home and discovered my comp was Windows Vista home premium. I put the disc in anyways, hoping to defy the laws of gaming. Yeah, I have a problem. And after it downloaded and everything.. IT WORKED! I was all like :unsure::w00t::wacko:o_O:wub::cool::ninja: (Also in that order).. Any ideas as to why that happened?.. (No, not my weird reactions) ^_^ Don't get me wrong. I'm happy it did work.. Just thought it was out-of-the ordinary.

And actually, I think I may have asked that before, too. It's just that I was rereading the Wikipedia.

It does work with Vista for the most part, just sometimes needs an update to work. Guess you were one of the lucky ones.

What, you mean you don't want to be a state? I'm shocked... And here I was thinking all of the UK was clamoring for statehood. [grin]

Re: Ask The Staff 'Anything'

Well, technically speaking you ARE a state, just not a state as in "political division of the USA."

State really just means a organized territory and people with recognized borders and government; at any scale and of an size and sovereignty.

Could Andy single-handedly take on the ENTIRE Chico State Drinking Team?

Re: Ask The Staff 'Anything'

Chico state? I've heard of them. I was doing a speech on St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and I was researching it, and stuff on their... I forget what it's called fundraiser came up.

At first I wasn't sure they were a real college. Where's that name from?

Also, apparently my Human Geography teacher went there.

Why is it okay for a black person to call a white person a cracker when its not okay for a white person to call a black person the n word? Also black call each other the n word yet when a white person calls a black person the n word its a hate crime.

Chico State is in Northern California, and they do have an unofficial drinking team.
