Interests
I'm am currently a council member in a Neopian guild that has not been able to open due to lack of a website. The overall layout is almost done, I just need a service. I am also addicted to kings of chaos. Neopets and Kings of Chaos. What a life huh? And, I would like to add, that Maxis did a great job with The Sims 2! Hope that I become a good forum member. I'm trying to keep up with the one post a day thing on my profile, but I don't know how far that will go. I get on probably every other day because I have so many posting credits. I like to stay safe. PM if you'd like to talk, cause I can talk your head off! LoL!

Okay, I've had experience with both windows and macintosh, and I prefer WINDOWS! You have a lot more control over your computer with Windows and its really easy to use. I have yet to find any apple/mac product that could perform a task as well as windows can. The only thing I like about iTunes is that you can play almost ANY file and in Windows Media Player they are very picky and won't play anything unless it's top quality. Which I guess is a good thing. Plus, I believe that the look of Windows is much better than mac. Yeah, the buttons are round, wooooooooo, who care!?! They're hard as yet to use!!! I support Microsoft/Windows completely! I honestly believe that if you switch over to mac from windows, you will be extremely dissapointed. If you're really concerned about the outcome though, ask a professional. I wish the best of luck to you!

Who Is Your Favorite Game Character? Please give details of why.
wykked_dreamz replied to iGuest's topic in Computer Gaming
I love Yuna off of Final Fantasy X and X-2. She is so awesome. I've nevver really played the game personally, I don't own a ps2, so i watched a friend of mine play it. The only games I've ever played for real would have to be lion king and paper boy on sega genis (spelling?). Yeah, that's a WAY back isn't it!?! I currently have an XBOX, but I've played it maybe twice in the past two years and I believe it was harry potter and the chamber of secrets and quidditch world cup. So yeah, I don't get to play video games very often and when I do, it's not the most exciting game in the world. But still, Yuna rocks. I'm really in love with Final fantasy and Kingdom Hearts at the moment. I WANT a PS3 soooo bad. -
Honestly, I'm the type of website designer who likes to create their layouts from scratch. I like plain coding. I don't enjoy programs that give me a template and let me put together the webpage as it's a word document like frontpage. I do however enjoy the program Hotdog, It lets me see my website as I'm typing in the code. So if I forget something stupid like a letter here and there, I can tell real fast. But with Hotdog I work with the code and the code only, so I really enjoy. And it has a script library incase I forgot something. I usually use notepad 2 for my programming though, cause I recently switched to php. I'm the same way when I make graphics. I like to cut them up in paint, blow them up and edit them in psp7, put them all back together in paint, and then convert the bmp file to a gif file using another graphics file that makes it real easy to do. I go through several steps and several programs. I use gifworks to add transparency, and I use gif animator 1.0 for animations. I know, I can all these things in one graphics program, perferably PSP7, but I tend to have less problems when I use all these different programs. What!?! I'm special. *smiles* Plus I haven't worked with PSP7 much so I don't know how to do ANYTHING! LoL! Maybe that's the same reason I don't use web designers, I'm not really sure how to do them, and it's easier just to type in the code. Wow, what an excuse.

It's not that I don't like Linkin Park, its just that I'm not a big fan of Jay Z. Plus I love Eminem. I adore the song Numb sooo much that it irratates me that they messed with me. You don't mess with a Linkin Park song. It's not right. Therefore, I cannot possibly vote for it, but I must vote against it. Sorry, but I felt that I had to explain myself. Besides, Just Lose it is a funny music video, and I think its funny that you can vote more than once. hehehe, I'm getting evil here. Happy voting to all of those who are patient enough to let the site load and then vote.

How Can I Get/make A Website Forum ? one of these.
wykked_dreamz replied to coconut_ddd's topic in Websites and Web Designing
If you just need a forum for your site, then I would use proboards or invisionboards or something of the sort. These are forum host and they allow you to create and edit your own forum. You can add the link to your site or put it in a frame or something so that it looks as if it is still on your site and not on the forum hosting site. That's a cheap way to do it, and isn't very effective but hey. The forum work well though I was using proboards for a little while. It was running pretty well. I only had about 20 members though so if you have a couple hundred to a thousand I don't know if it would start charging fees aor it would run worse than it did for me. I dunno, I haven't really played around much with forum board host. However, if you are trying to make a forum board from scratch, good luck to you. I don't know how to do that either but I am still attempting to learn. Just like I am attempting to learn php (LoL, I've only read the introduction). Good luck to you though. I'm sure their is a good tutorial out there. Do a yahoo search on it. ::NOT GOOGLE:: -
Astahost's New Look... The forums new look...
wykked_dreamz replied to Tobias's topic in Websites and Web Designing
I dunno, I don't pay too much attention to the look of the forum, just the post. I always click on the View New Post section anyway so I guess nothing really bothers me. I'm a blue fan, so I guess I kind of enjoy it. But I must say, it has this flat blocky look to it. Kind of like you're looking at a piece of paper. I'm a fan of curves and shadows and highlights. I like lots of detail. hehe. I thought that when I got on today it looked different, but I wasn't sure because I haven't been on for about 6 days now. The font still looks the same, which is a plus because I really enjoy the font. Like I said, the color scheme is pretty. I'm not too picky of a person though, so you all are probably picking out every problem and I'm just like, okay, sure. But I always think that their is room for improvement. So Xisto, do as you may and do as you must. <~ Wow, that was corny sounding. -
Sims 2 Content "Worse Than Hot Coffee" Jack Thompson is at it again.
wykked_dreamz replied to Koel's topic in Computer Gaming
Okay, grrrrrrrrrrr! GTA:SA only had the scene that got it the AO rating from an illegal download. So you had to download that clip illegally to even make it AO. I swear, if he messes with the Sims 2, I'll go off. The Sims 2 is my baby, I love playing that game and you could download the same type of skins with the Sims. Tim has worked so hard to make it a T rating. The whole crew was just trying to make sure that the players had fun with it, but they didn't want to add unessacary detail like what Jack is flipping out over. If you download the skins, its your problem, and the sites that contain these downloads should have an AO rating on them so that teens know what they are getting into. Most download sites have you register now so that they know your age, and they filter out all the AO stuff so you don't even know its there. Therefore, you don't know what you are missing out on. I honestly think that this is a good idea. This still pisses me off though. This reminds me of accusationg on Harry Potter, saying that the whole book had words in it refering to drugs. The only people who can find such things in books and games made for children and teenagers should pull their minds out of the gutter. I don't think that anything is safe as long as these perverts are out there. Next thing you know, they're going to say soemthing about Blue Clue's and Dora the Explorer. I understand that people make stupid little cartoons or innocent kid show characters and turn it into something perverted, but these are not to be blamed on the creators of the show. The same should go for games. If it doesn't come with the game, then the game should not be held responsible. The only person who should be punished, if any, is the one providing the download. I'm with you all, Jack Tompson is a complete idiot. The Sims 2 is far from being a porn offering. -
Hosting Credits, Days To Credits
wykked_dreamz replied to sickgrrl723's topic in Web Hosting Support
Honestly, I would check your post number. Once it says 30 post, you can probably get the upgrade. But honestly I wouldn't worry about the upgrade until you need it. You can always upgrade you know. Also, please keep in mind that your post should be of decent link. A sentence or two per post is not going to get you the upgrade. Make sure that when you post you're actually saying something. moonwitch brought this to many member's attention when members were getting rejected because they had cruddy post. Honestly, if you feel the need, rant. You can always post a decent post if you understand the topic and can explain yourself a little better. I honestly hope this helps. Also, if you set this weird goal like I do, and say to yourself "I'm going to try to keep my days to 15 so that I don't have to panic if I miss a day, or a week or something" then before you know it, you'll be able to get the upgrade. Just make sure that you have a comfortable amount of post before you ask for the upgrade. Good luck to you and if you have any questions, just pm me okay? -
Personally, I think that light colors are too bright for a computer screen. I like black backgrounds because I believe it gives your eyes a rest. I usually have blue, purple, or pink graphics/text, depends on the topic and the look that I am going for at the moment. For instance, my Hogwarts site is black, purple, and gold, while my dairy is black, blue, purple, and silver. My neopets guild site on the other hand, is black and maroon. So yeah, I'm a huge black background fan. I approve of dark colors. However I am not sayiong that light colors are a bad choice. They don't bother me during the daytime, although thats when I usually sleep so staring at a white screen at 2 in the morning is not very appealing to me. LoL!

20 Years From Now... Where do you see humanity?
wykked_dreamz replied to Kyle Perkins's topic in Science and Technology
20 years, wow, not too much time for improvement but enough for some drastic effect to occur. I dont believe that all wars are pointless, but I think nuclear bombs are for pansies. If you want to fight a war, then FIGHT it, dont throw things around and kill innocent people/children. I think that everything will be portable, and I believe that people will still fail to notice that our ozone is decomposing (basically), that our rainforest are dying from our obsession with lumber, and that endangered animals that probably have a purpose in scientific discoveries yet to come will become extinct because nobody understands their importance. 20 years from now is just another 20 years for man to destroy this planet even more. Have you ever noticed that man is the only animal that has to adapt this drastically to be able to survive on earth? I'm beginning to think that man is the least intelligent species because or WHAT we've done to this earth. deers dont pollute the air and birds dont kill trees. Sorrie, I must sound like a "Save the Whales" person right now but, these things get to me. I'm not saying that the world will be destroyed, just that I think we'll improve, just the environment itself won't. If that makes any sense. -
World's Smallest Website the smallest in the word
wykked_dreamz replied to iGuest's topic in Websites and Web Designing
I think its brillant. I love pointless sites like that. I enjoy visiting things that people work that hard on. I think I need to start bookmarking these sites because I think that they are funny. I have visited the most annoying webpage too. I has I believe 150 pop ups, but its really funny when you go there and you have a pop-up blocker and you automatically go to the second and last page of the site. Someone must have been really bored, devoted, and patient. Who ever created this site has reason to be proud of themselves. I know I would be. Heck, just getting a site up without borken links makes me proud. I agree with some of you though, it is a little hard on the eyes. And if you've been staring at the computer screen for a couple of hours, it might make it almost impossible to read. But I honestly think that the text is the biggest part of the website. Hey, i am honestly curious as to how much space their website takes up. Wouldn't be amusing if it was some huge file because they had to make it so small. -
Well, you're hateful now aren't you. I think its amazing how many people look at this post and think, wow, here's an easy way to get hosting credits. You go on about anything. Of course, the only thing I can tell you is that your computer must be pretty old so its really slow, or your just not very good with computers. If the first condition is your excuse, then the only solution is MONEY. Buy yourself a new pc, you can get good pcs for less than $800 right now. GO DELL! If the second condition is your excuse then practice makes perfect. Use the internet more often and you'll get used to it and it won't be so bad. Also, I would appreciate it if you would not insult the only thing my life revolves around. School and work are boring, so this is my heaven when I come home. I am also a comfortable member of Xisto, which I love with a passion because they are the best hosting service I have ever used, and I adore neopets with an even bigger passion. Because I've been on since december of '99 so . . . I've seen their amazing achievements. I love my internet, and I pray that it never fails me like it has obviously done for you. My deepest apologies for your discomfort.

Its beautiful but I can tell you right now I'd drop it. No matter how careful I am. You should see my cell phone. I buy cheap cell phones for a reason now. LoL! Its pretty coll though. No doubt, my Dad will waste his entire paycheck on it the second he sees it. Grrr! Is it wrong that I'm more of a desktop person? I'd rather have my computer with me tower, keyboard, mouse, and old flat screen moniter than have a laptop or this portable pc. Honestly, I'm not sure, but it looks smaller than a psp. I kind of enjoy my computer being in one spot and one spot only. Even when I'm tired and want to lay down while I'm on the computer. Something rubs me the wrong way when I think about my main computer following me everywhere I go. But, I will admit, that I have wanted a laptop for the road. Just to work on my website when I have long road trips. But if I ever got a laptop I'd still have to have a desktop. Just to assure me that I could always find one of my computers! LoL! I misplace everything.

Free Starter Domains? ...
wykked_dreamz replied to coconut_ddd's topic in Websites and Web Designing
There used to be this site where is you refered so many people, you got a free domain name of your choice for a year. I was considering it. You sign up, then advertise with your special link, then once 50 people sign up through your special link, you get a free domain for a year. If you want to keep it though, you have to get 25 sign ups through your link within your year, and you get a year added on and so on. But if you ask me, 50 sign ups would take FOREVER, and it would probably just be easier to pay 7.99 a year for a domain name through godaddy. Thats the only thing I can think of that was free. If I were you I'd just go for a short sub-domain, but make sure it has good service. -
Honestly if I were ever to get a domain name I would defiantly choose godaddy. I have been looking at domains for 3 years and I have heard the best results from those who choose godaddy. Plus I think they're really cheap and reliable. So I guess you could say I'm a godaddy fan. Honestly I've never heard of registerfly, maybe I should go check it out.
