I'm still [theoretically] one of the moderators of a Usenet group... But we (the moderator team) gave up over a decade ago as there were hundreds of spam and troll posts for every legitimate post.

*nods* Made a lot of friends on Usenet (esp the s.s.* hierarchy) back in the day. Still friends with many on FB, Twix, etc...

Indeed. r/bookbinding and r/icecreamery are both pretty laid back and helpful. It's fun to hang out in r/whatanime and help ID anime people are looking for. It's *amazing* to hang out in r/whereisthis and watch people help find locations from the tiniest damm clues. (I once found a location for someone because I'm a railfan and recognized the unusual model of locomotive pulling an excursion train.) Etc... etc... Yeah, there's subs that are cesspits - but they're not the whole of Reddit. Not by a long shot.

I both agree and disagree... There's certainly some very awful communities on Reddit, but there's also a large number of useful and interesting ones.

Sometimes yes, sometime no.

Unlike other servers, HC has no official presence on r/cityofheroes. The haters and the mods rather inconsistent enforcement of the "no server drama" rule as well as general reddiquette are why.

One... Piece.

There are no fewer than five alignments in the game (more depending on how granular you want to be Goldside). One of the things everyone has to do when they join a new community is learn to sling the lingo. And saving them from learning this one teeny bit isn't actually all that useful.

Sure, the ability to go underwater was introduced in whatever Issue Cimerora was introduced. The problem is likely that every single body of water in the game would have to be entirely redone (as the underwater landscape almost certainly doesn't exist) in order to enable this functionality globally.

The increased speed is noticeable and appreciated. The appearance of "No History Found" is greatly reduced, but not eliminated. I did not encounter the lag spike noted by @strix_.

Which is exactly the point of the bio window, a quick introduction and summary of your character. It's not intended for short stories, let alone novels.

There were two Kronos just outside the tram station on Talos/Excelsior last night...

Moused over to see if you did what I think you did. And of course you did. Not gonna click because TVTropes is worse than Wikpedia... i

The downside of being immortal...

Delete the email and move on.

Going through and updating all my keybinds to the new scheme and setting the command that pops up the third tray.

Truthfully, I've never seen the movie (and now I'm disinclined to look) so I have no idea what you're talking about... 🙂 I do have a song stuck in my head, but it's this one:

Hunting Council in Steel has been an exercise in extreme frustration ever since the return of the 5th Column... as spawns of 5th replaced practically every spawn of Council.

Thank you!

Here's another great thread for awesome bios:

I do. And I got two different unsolicited compliments on the toon I'm currently playing.

Three of my favorites... Snow Belle Ice/Ice blaster (Inspired by a character I PUGed with - Snow Bell, an Ice/Sonic blaster.) Miss Mechanism Bots/FF Mastermind (Inspired by a story I saw one day about a girl with a paralyzed arm who'd built a robotic one for a high school science project and planned to go into robotics research.) Shirudo Momoji Fire/Shield Tank (Her powerset was inspired by an anime character, her bio comes in part from a different anime character. Her look, bio, and name took the most research and time I ever put into a character.)

I just tested this and combined with animations on (for powers not displaying a timer) it's a thing of absolute beauty. @Number Six, or whoever added this option, if you're ever out in the Seattle area... I'll buy you a beer. (Or a latte, or a bubble tea, or whatever reasonably priced beverage warms your heart.)

They show up on my desktop, but this Gen Jones took a while to find it because we're used to people putting content and links in the message body, not the sig.
