TronRP Posted December 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 (edited) Is it just me or does it appear as though some commercials are catering to "anti-family", self-serving" children this holiday season...

The sad thing is there are too many children who think this crap actually works. Parents really need to check what children shows and their channels are trying to teach their kids.

Troy Spiral (13) Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Before I think even gameboy existed I remember seeing a news article about how kids didn't "go out and play" all that much anymore. They showed kids sitting at home, watching G.I. Joe and Barbie and such just sitting around with their toys. I'm not sure the gaming commercials are "anti family" they are just "anti social" even though they pretend to be social. Similar to say, commercials for fried food showing people in great shape jumping around and having a good time. Cigarette commercials are illegal for the same reason these things are bad, they encourage behavior that is bad for your health. Not that I'm one to talk, i play video games every damn day. Fortunately or unfortunately the concept of freedom / free speech seems to apply on a sliding scale , its hard to know where to draw lines at.

TronRP Posted December 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Is it just me or has anyone else noticed how all the Christmas Specials this year have nothing to do with the true meaning of Christmas... ...at least that's what's showing on all the "Toon" stations anyway...

TronRP Posted December 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 Is it just me or has anyone else noticed a strange counting method with the forum's keeping of the "Total Posts" count? For the past few weeks, whenever I post, the count goes backwards...and just now, I made a post and the count held fast at 761,835 for two consecutive postings...does this mean post are falling off after a while or is this an administrative move?

Thats a good question. It had something to do with how low priority the "global_post_count" function is. It probably runs dead last after every thing else that the board software wants to do runs, and sometimes never runs at all. I don't know all the technical details behind it but I know some things are considered high priority due to 1. being used a ton (like things that display this text box i'm typing in) and are low priority due to how much system resources they hog up. That one might be low priority for both reasons, and give an inaccurate number in the short term for both reasons. But... thats all BS, as even though that WAS how it worked in years past, the count has been fubared for awhile. Probably has something to do with some really long database process just not having been run at all for (maybe) months. Ill have to put in a ticket to get an answer for this one.

TronRP Posted January 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 OK...is it just me or has anyone else noticed their photos being renamed and overwritten by other images? Granted I know I'm a photo hog here on DGN with nearly 1000 pics in one album, but I find myself constantly having to fix images I've posted. I do have to say, thank goodness for the image moderation button or a lot of my posts would make no possible sense whatsoever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TronRP Posted March 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Is it just me or is Disney trying to Disneyfy their own villain "The Dark Fairy Maleficent" by making her into a likable character so you will feel sorry for her? Disney's Maleficent - Official Trailer 3 ...it would have been better to just give the movie an entirely different name and appear to have come up with a totally new concept...in my opinion...

TronRP Posted May 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 Is it just me or is anyone else still in awe at the associations we have come to know as standards in this ever growing age of basic technology? In an effort to complete the build project I am currently doing for a bedroom, I decided to research distributors of sky blue wallpaper. Upon doing a Google Search, the following image displays the results I received: ...my how times have changed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
