  1. I personally use Photoshop and have used quite a few of those before. I have tried out Good Tutorials and they are pretty good. I do think though that you should probably add http://www.pixel2life.com/ They really have a ton of Photoshop tutorials. Currently 8500 and growing each day. Pretty nice list you have here and a lot of sites I haven't seen before. I am going to have to check them out the next time I need a tutorial.
  2. That sounds pretty cool. I would like to try it although I don't really use Gmail because I don't have a need for it. My current email provider is more user friendly for my needs and I don't really need 2 GB of space but I guess if I ever need to start mass email that would work. I thnk it's nice to have though just in case.
  3. If wappy has been getting hacked though he might have a keylogger on his computer and that is how the guy continues to hack him. If he continually gets hacked and he is getting threats from a guy then it may not be Xisto that is getting hacked. I don't know I'm not gonna continue about this anymore though. All I know is that why would 5 out of over 100 people be getting hacked as well as those on the other servers with Xisto.
  4. There are many people out there that haven't had trouble with having an easy password will continue to use an easy password until they are hacked. Not the server, them themselves. If that person hacked the server, why didn't he take down other sites? Xisto doesn't even have 5 servers anyway. If a hacker hacks a server they are gonna take down everything they can and it wouldn't be just one account or just 5.
  5. Well no where does it say you have to do that you can have a good time that was your decision. The rules state that you must quote copyrighted or any information for that matter that is available to the public. In the 5 minutes it took you to type it all out though you could have also just summarized it into your own words. Plus you can't expect the script to find what's in a book and you typed out so that it can just cut the credits in half, and it can't tell when things were copied and pasted off a web site to give them no credits. Basically you could have spent the 5 minutes summarizing instead of copying it. You knew the rules before hand so you can't say you didn't know it would happen.
  6. Trap17 isn't making you quote things because they are copyrighted. I mean they are but it's more then that. You are getting hosting credits for the work that you didn't do. Sure you typed it all up out of a book but you didn't take the time to research and put it all together. You could have summarized it and then get the hosting credits and wouldn't have gotten into trouble for that in the first place. As for the servers being hacked. I have never heard of that occuring before. I have heard of threats and attempts and failures but I haven't necessarily heard of them being hacked successfully but I may be wrong. You may have heard of sites ran on Xisto servers being hacked but that is just poor password protection on the owner of that site.
  7. lol Ya like Cebral Stasis said there are dragons out there. And if you think about it they might have ancestors as well that could probably be considered dragons. Of course I the Komodo might not be the dragon you guys are thinking of but you know there might have been dragons in the dinosaur age or relatives to them. I don't know if they are around today with the big wings and what not breathing fire like you guys might think but dragons themselves dragons do exist and the Komodo is an example.

    New Games

    Well if you are into war you can head over to https://www.americasarmy.com/ I play this game a ton. It is like Counter Strike so I hear but this you go through the training for the army and then go to different maps and work with your team to defeat the other or obtain the objective(s) If you want racing you can go to http://www.nittotire.com/ and check that out. You start with a civic and can make money to buy others or you can win them in pink slips verse another user. I think a game called Street Challenge is like the same thing.
  9. You really have to be able to affiliate and exchange links with sites that are some how related to your own. Otherwise no one will come from that site because they are probably looking for something else if they aren't related. It takes a lot of time and hard work to get it going. Submit to top sites that are ranking those related to your own as well.
  10. Well you know I feel the same way. I don't see a point in buying an Ipod when I can get the same thing. That is what my brother did. I figured if I ever need one I will buy one but I can just stick with a CD player. Even cheaper except for buying the CDs to burn music.

    Msn?

    I have been using Msn Messenger for probably 3 to 4 years now. I have enjoyed using it and it's features. I like the interface and it looks more advanced then AIM, especially before Triton. I guess what I enjoy is the ability to change your ScreenName and add a little something to it and then the nudge and emoticons. It sort of fits. I now have Windows Messenger Live...just upgraded to it last week. I like the offline message system because if I need to ask my friend something I but he/she isn't online they will get it when they are. I think I'll probably stick with MSN til the end. I just wish you could personalize the away message.
  12. lol Ya I think I saw Bill Gates in an Ipod/Mac commercial (or who was supposed to be Bill Gates) I think that Zune really isn't a good name but if they compete PC wise why not music player wise. I think they should just incorporate Zune with Windows Media Player in fact I think WMP would have been a better name but you know it is unique I guess. lol I don't know all the details of this player and even though I don't have an Ipod I think Zune is gonna have to come out with something rather advanced because Mac has already taken off with this one.
  13. The only problem I think that might occur with the <center> tags around the code would it would center all text and maybe make it look a little funky. It might not work right because it might not be valid HTML. If you haven't already go to http://validator.w3.org/ and check that url to see if it is all valid and if not it will show you any errors that might have caused the problem. I noticed that if everything is valid it works fine in all browsers. If it is valid in HTML then check the CSS as well.

    Noob Talk

    Normally when I talk with my friends and what not on any instant messenger I will still shorten some words like Be Right Back, and I don't use the correct capitilization or puntuation marks because I sort of felt no need to and I still don't. Unless I am talking to them on a higher level or to someone of a higher level I won't use correct sentence structure. Of course when I started using forums two years ago I did type like I would on IM and it was also a Free Web Host site, I quickly learned to start typing normally on Forums and have gotten used to it although I in the shoutbox I don't. It really sort of seems to me like the situation I'm in. I know when it is ok to shorten sentences and when not to because I too think it's annoying to read run on sentences in a forum when someone is typing with no structure.
  15. Well I have had a keylogger before that game unnoticed and it isn't a treat. Luckily you warned us about this because I hadn't heard anything but I also don't normally go around downloading powerpoints anyway I just make my own. If any of you guys do seem to catch this keylogger I would recommend using Webroot SpySweeper to get rid of it. It seems to find everything including the source files so it doesn't come back.
  16. Like Johnny, I use SmartFTP to upload my files especially when there is a lot of them. I just drag and drop the files into the directory and it starts to upload them immediatly. The only time I don't use FTP to upload files is when I am on a school computer and need to upload a file I need at home because I don't have FTP on there but I can still access the Cpanel. I do use Cpanel for anything that doesn't have to do with file managing of course but with FTP I can edit the files, upload, delete, move, etc; so I use that a lot.
  17. This has been announced many times and the moderators and staff no this already. If you have a topic to report or any post, make a link to the topic in a private message as well as any information regarding what you are reporting and send it to a moderator. If you want you can look at which ones are online first to get the report in faster.
  18. Very nice tips. I plan on using Google AdSense to fund a new website I am going to be putting up soon and that will help out a lot. Who would have though that the higher CTR the more money but then again you should. It is obvious that if you make Google more money per visitor then you will make more money.
  19. Well I don't really speak spanish but here is what I do know how to say "You don't have the right number." Usted no tiene el numero correcto. If you want to just look up what you want to say at an online translator. http://yahoo.com/
  20. I am just going to stick with my Playstation 2, because eventually the PS3 will grow old as the PS2 already has. I think it still gives me enough entertainment mixed with the television and the computer. If anything I would put the money towards upgrading my computer for even more entertainment because my computer will provide me with alot more than the PS3 even though it is like a computer.
  21. They have Pac-man already for the Playstation 2 but I guess Xbox 360 is even newer. I am sure that a lot of people will buy these games considering people still do at arcades. I love Pac-Man but I never really did get to play the others like Frogger and what not. Please make sure to quote things that you have taken from another source. You can find this article all over the web including here http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/
  22. There was a great game called Rocket Robot on Wheels that had some games within games. This you can play on Nintendo 64. I still have it I believe. I know there a ton of others but it is sort of hard to pick them out. I don't think they really do that that much anymore it was really only done in the Nintendo 64 games that I can recall.
  23. lol Well when I go to my high school and try to buy lunch it costs me $2.50 to buy a box of pizza. (Personal Pan Style) And then of course all the drinks cost a $1 each including soda, gatorades, or water bottles. You can buy those little packets of lemonade (regular or rasberry) to add to your water bottle for 25 cents. Then of course you have your chickens, salads, PB&J sandwiches and what not.
  24. Ya that is always a good idea to keep people from robbing you of your bandwidth. I think if people want to view things they should go to your site to view them so you can maybe get a few more customers out of it or visitors atleast. I don't really have a reason to do this though at the moment but I like the idea.
  25. Ya but what happens when your tv breaks and you need it to be fixed. I don't think that will be a big hit because then kids will be watching the television during school. Wouldn't you think though that you would see someone watching tv in their eye? Their eyes would reflect something or something would happen. I don't really think I would like the idea of having it in my eye in the first place.
