Alright, so I've started my new forum; it's with InvisionFree, which is a free board provider (I want to see if this project gets anywhere). It's called Open Source, but it's not like you might think. I called it Open Source because my forum is for sharing web design knowledge, as well as computer know-how and other such things. I have many forums already set up, as well as some sub-forums. I've also set up a skin for it, so, in other words, it's going well. However, I need some help. As I've posted before (and gotten some feedback), I need others to help me with staff positions, and others to lead forums for programming types for which I have no knowledge of (such as C, C++, etc). In some case, even both. The URL is: http://s13.invisionfree.com/Open_Source or OpenSourceForums.uni.cc If you would, register there (preferably, using your Xisto username), and be sure to post here to tell me of what you're knowledgeable in. For instance, I also need (perhaps) another Admin, so if you're are very good at Invision Board, I would probably set you to it. So, register there and post here, so I could see what I'm up against.

Update! So, I've got my board set up; it's called Open Source, though it's not as it sounds. No, I'm not hosting projects or whatever, I'm using it to imply the sharing of programming knowledge, and other such things. For those who have posted here thus far (and any others): Go to S13.InvisionFree.com/Open_Source (BTW, I'm not giving myself a PLUG; I just wanted to inform those who were interested for helping me for staff to know the URL) P.S. Some topics that I have currently up... well, I'm not knowledgeable in. For instance, I'm not so hot at Javascript and I barely know C and C++. So, I need some staff who can lead those forums, and other such forums as I may need it. If you are knowledgeable in those as well, definetly don't hesitate to tell me or register, so I can set you up. I will be willing to give you guys (who posted) Moderator positions, and even Admin, depending on the circumstance. Thanks, guys.

Great update, m^e!Oh, and I already registered; gave you guys a head-start...

Hmm... favorite band, you say?Well, offhand... offhand, uh... you know, I can't really think of a favorite band OFFHAND; I guess that's 'cause I don't have a favorite band, per se. I don't like music according to genre - I like music according to THAT music. I don't neccessarily like a band; I do like a song that band makes, and in that sense, like the band.Simply put, I like music that is good. The best way to put it, really.

You know what... you are SO right! iPods, in my view, are a ridiculous waste of metal (or whatever they're made of) and money. And, it seems to me rather strange that Apple can keep coming up with new versions, oh, just every other month! If you ask me, it looks like a marketing point to get people to continuously spend money just so they have to spend money again to get the newer version. And, they're apparently addicting, so it works. But all that says is that there are consumers gullible enough to drop money on machines so small, you could swallow them. Hehe... you know someone's got to have tried it...

Well, as a matter of fact, I could use some help from you, if you know how.Firstly; as of right now, I am using a free InvisionFree board; I have had it up for a bit more than a month, and it's going well. I haven't promoted, and already I have nearly 20 members. I could get into the premise of the board, but, for the purpose of it, we'll say it's for an MMORPG that I play every so often but my brother plays quite a bit. I'm setting it up for my brother and his guild (it's my guild too; I just don't frequent the game much so...), and so far, many of the game's guild members have joined. I also already have a logo, created by myself and my brother; it's simple, but snazzy.Now, the preposition; the InvisionFree boards don't have mods, and skins are created manually via CSS and HTML write-ups. As it is, it would't be much of a problem setting up a skin as such, but for me, it's a lot of trouble to work throught it all; plus, I'm not very proficient with CSS - and, if you must know, I don't have the patience to set up my own skin.So... if there's anyone willing to set up a skin for my board, that would be great! I will be sure to give you much credit, and advertise said "credit" throughout the boards. Also, in the least, if you wanted, I could manage some moderator position.Ball's in your court.

ruben, Thanks for the extra tidbits! Yeah, as you notice, I didn't post every META tag, mainly due to the fact that I find some unnecessary, and some - I don't even know of. However, you spoke of how the CHARSET META tag is not necessary; however, in a sense, it is. See, for a website to be properly validated - for instance, XHTML conformed, etcetera, there needs to be a few mandatory tags; one, being the CHARSET tag. The CHARSET tag can properly identify the encoding for the browsers, and so it can be properly validated. In XML documents, one can include the XML doctype, but this does not remove the need for the CHARSET META tag. For more info, please check out validator.w3.org Hope that helps!

Google's slowly trying to creep into AI, is it? No, seriously; there is actually a much more established search engine program for that - it's called BrainBoost. I've talked about it a couple of times on here, but perhaps it hasn't generated much feeback... BrainBoost uses AI to calculate the best possible answer to your question. Sometimes, it may not be THE BEST, but it does a good job nonetheless. Check out http://www.answers.com/topic/brainboost-1 for more.

The image is alright; I'm not too fond of the color, but that's a personal view.Also, I REALLY could care less for Star Trek; all the series, the movies, etcetera. I perfer Star Wars, even though there's not much correlation...

I'm gonna have to say Wired Lan, just due to the sheer amount of trouble with disconnections I've had with wireless lan. Also, the range seems shorts; although, that may vary upon providers and such.

Man, and the website?! I mean, jeez - you'd think with all the stuff, they could come up with a more suitable website with the times! ...it's just basic, is all...Hey, who wants to bet they don't get past development/beta stages?

While I like to browse eBay every now and then (and by that, I mean it strictly; I've reviewed the eBay web pages, oh, no more than 3, 4 times), but I have never bought anything, and I really don't care for it. Not that I dislike eBay itself, I just could care less for the whole idea of online bidding. Hell, I've barely been to Amazon.com as well! I am really not interested very much in online shopping, I suppose.Who knows; maybe I'll come around... become one of those eBay junkies, eh?

Hey Vyoma; welcome to Xisto! I hope you enjoy your stay around here. BTW, be sure to keep your posts and credits up, especially if you want hosting from us; we need to see that you are actually contributing to the forums and are liking it. However, it seems from your post that that won't be a problem... Have a good time, HTML_Guru

troykid, As a matter of fact, I do. My two favorite choices would have to be Stone's WebWriter and HTML-Kit. While Stone's WebWriter is slightly outdated, it is a much more "ease-of-use" tool than HTML-Kit; a much better choice for beginners. However, both are free and can be downloaded. The download page for Stone's WebWriter is: http://www.webwriter.dk/english/download.htm The download site for HTML-Kit is: http://www.chami.com/html-kit/download/ Hope that helps! P.S. From now on, try to keep questions and suggestions to a more relevant manner; just a heads-up, that's all.

My five cents (I only had a nickel; I'll need three cents back!):Here's the thing; while PCs are much broader tools and are rather customizable, the consoles have only one purpose; one subject - for games. And, the fact of the matter is, the consoles, being game-oriented, are much easier to control the games - playing-wise, at least.Nonetheless, I'd have to say that I would rather get a PC, probably with a good sound card and a good video card, and online capabilities - default.What's after Xbox 360, you have to wonder? Xbox 360 2 (squared) - !
