How To Post On Knowledgesutra [resolved] Old versus new members
anwiii replied to Eza's topic in General Discussion
she was relating this post to a response i gave her when she posted nothing but 5-6 videos without any content whatsoever :)funny you mentioned inea because the more and more i think about it, the more i believe eza's account is a dup account......someone hiding behind another accountalthough i disagree with her that i feel like i own the forum, i DO take a personal interest in it and will argue my points where i see fit. everyone should have a right to their opinion wether postive or negative. the difference between that and what eza is saying is that she is saying it because she doesn't like other people's opinions. this is a VERY subjective mindset coming from a new user. almost reminds me of bikerman who is also very subjective in the way he thinks calling anyone who believes in god or wants to defend god's existance, a "troll".to verify who is really behind this account, all a mod has to do is compare ip's. i will bet $ that this is a dup account and 10-1 that it is inea's. any takers? eza? :)on a more serious note, i love seeing new users. they bring a breath of fresh air even if i don't agree with them. it really is ok to disagree as long as people can respect each others opinions. eza is off to a bad start in respecting other peoples opinions and trying to give others a bad name indirectly.my advice to you, eza, is to post some ORIGINAL content or learn to if you don't know how because just posting multiple videos in multiple threads doesn't cut it. i don't own this forum, but if you keep talking nonsense, i will own YOU -
sorry, but Xisto isn't youtube and youtube isn't Xisto. you offered absolutely ZERO original content. sure, videos should be allowed and posted, but it should directly relate to the post itself. since you posted nothing but videos, not only is it spam, but irrelevant. just because the videos pertain to the topic title you personally wrote, doesn't make it any more relevant.if you have knowledge to share on Xisto, please share your knowledge. normally, i wouldn't have said a thing if you only posted multiple videos in one topic, but you did it more than once. if people want knowledge from videos, then they will go to youtube directly and search for what they specifically want.if all people did was go in to each topic, start a thread, write a topic title, search youtube for semi relevant videos, and post nothing but videos, this forum would turn to crap. again, this is not a video site. this is a forum where people post in and read from. not a place to spam videos.even if you limited the # of videos in your posts, there would still be no content displayed in the search engines where people could actually search out your posts. the only people who will really see what you posted is the members.lastly, if you think for one second someone is going to sit at their computer and view all those videos you posted, i think you are fooling yourself.now if you have any opinions on to how to get a boyfriend, please post them, otherwise, YOU are off topic which would be the pot calling the kettle black.

stop spamming video links. we are looking for ORIGINAL content here on Xisto.

The Future Of Knowledgesutra What do the members want?
anwiii replied to Eza's topic in General Discussion
i agree with you eza. i don't know if you are a new member or just an old member with a duplicate account, but you have hit on something that most everyone has been recognizing for a while. especially the members who have been here for 1+ years. you sound more like an old member with a dup account.the ideals are correct, but realistically speaking, there is more to it than that and it's going to take everyone working together and there has to be a plan in place so everyone is on the same page.i also agree that the atmosphere needs to be uplifting and positive for others to want to feel comfortable to post. on the other hand, things have sort of gone down hill so much and over a long period of time, that positive and uplifting atmosphere will be harder to re-create. i believe something drastic needs to change and the admins are unwilling to take drastic measuresi've been meaning to post in the vent about what's been going on and offer solutions. unfortunately, some people will take it negative. sometimes being polite doesn't accomplish anything. sometimes being polite can get you ignored or walked over. sometimes having a soft voice wont get you heard.sorry if i brought a negative tone to a relatively positive and limited topic. for things to be objective, all sides need to be heard. but i did very much like your post and the tone you brought to the topic. i will be posting my more specific views at a later time and in another thread. -
well i believe in fate 100%. i don't think all experiences in life are determined by fate though.... only the experiences that fullfill a unique purpose. being born and dying are the obvious ones in my mind. i believe there is a unique purpose to why everyone is born. since death is connected to birth, i believe fate will determine death. another experience i believe that is predetermined is soul mates. in other words, meeting your other half. most of our lives however are determined by free will. as i believe in fate, i also believe in the tests we are meant to go through to fullfill our own purpose and destiny. just because i believe in fate doesn't mean i believe everyone completes their unique purpose in life. that is decided by free will and how we use our strengths we are born with and how we learn from our weaknesses through the mistakes we make.my thoughts go a lot deeper than simple statements of opinon, but i just wanted to state my opinion in simple terms. i think it's a shame when people can float through life choosing not to be accountable for the choices they make using freewill as an excuse to do whatever they please. i also think it's more of a shame when they don't believe in anything higher than themselves and don't think they were born with a unique purpose in life and waste their lives doing something that isn't fullfilling themselves or helping others. they ignore the clues and become creatures of habit so to speak or what i call lost souls.if i were to believe in science alone, then i might as well kill myself now because it's an undisputed fact that technology and the people support it without any given thought of any higher purpose is killing this planet. i wont see it in my lifetime, but because there is fate and a purpose for the living, there is also a fate and purpose for this world we live in. because of that, the "believers" will be recycled wiser and stronger to guide and protect where technology will eventually die or in a more realistic view, be controlled better.can i prove a thing called fate? nope. nor can a prove something i feel deep down inside me that is real. almost like my soul is talking to me and any energy connected to it is guiding me. i am really sorry that other people don't experience certain things in their life or pay attention enough to know there is more out there. it's sad whenever i see someone floating through life without knowing their true purpose and refuse to believe in the possibilities. those are the people who will teach their children that it is not true that anything is possible. that is a shame because that belief alone limits themselve and those around them who are affected by their blind beliefs

to be clear about the mycent system right now, it is working. i don't post that much anymore, but the last time i was credited was on the 6th of novenber which was a couple days before the post in question. when i was posting a little more, i noticed i wouldn't get credited right away, but the mycent system would credit once every three days or so. so if you see no change, just be patient. everything is being tracked and recorded, and WILL be credited

yes. you will have access to cpanel and are able to use it within the limits of your hosting plan. it's the same as if you bought a domain.

i just want to expand on what soviet said about keywords. it's really not about keywords anymore, but keyphrases. there is way too much competition on any one or two keywords. for example... "games" is not a good keyword. "playstation games" is better but still not good. "playstation action games" is better but could be more specific. you don't want to target people buy using keywords, but keyword phrases.for every web page, there should be 2 keyword phrases you are targeting at the MOST. this is sorta old news but relevant to the topic. soviet was half right in what he was trying to convey.

My Best Friend My best friend is depressed
anwiii replied to NeedAdvice's topic in General Discussion
first, i would like to say that tracie did a really good job in answering this issue without assuming too much.i would like to mention though that people have to feel comfortable with their psychologist or counselor so that they can be fully open to get the help and advice they need. if she doesn't feel comfortable, it's important to find someone else who is better suited to break down those walls gradually. also, she needs a really good support group right now. since it doesn't seem she is getting it from family, she will need to get it from friends who care enough. i think she is lucky to have you where you are going out of your way to seek advice for your friend.if at all possible, maybe you can get her to sign up here and post about her problem personally. there is a lot of people who care here at KS and who are willing to support her and guide her and lift her spirits. also, people can get a better sense of who she is and her real problems. normally i am good at offering advice and being supportive but it's when i am talking to the person directly to get a better sense and where my intuitions can kick in.for the most part though i think tracie did a good job in answering. i would re read what she wrote and make sure you follow her advice with your friend. it's good if you can take her mind off things, but that would only be a temporary solution. also, she may not be suicidal and just reaching out but as her friend, i advise you not to assume that and take her words seriously. if her depression gets worse, she may have to visit with a psychiatrist to possibly get on some depression meds, mood stabilizers, and possibly anxiety meds as depression will cause a chemical imbalance. as her loyal friend, you would probably be able to help her guide her in that area the most in what may be neededi can tell you one thing right now though. her family being distant and not connected as a "normal" family isn't the problem. people don't get suicidal over those issues. it is something more personal to HER. i am curious how old she is and if she is going to school and what her grades are like.again, i think you are a good friend. maybe you can convince her of signing up here and meeting a few of us. you can't have too many friends ya know. she may not like it though that her personal problems are being spread publically. it could just question her loyalty towards you but i would really like her to speak for herself and open up a little to those who are willing to listen like myself.if there are other issues you can't really talk about in public feel free to shoot me a pm. i don't like hearing about people who are depressed or suicidal. i have fought depression all my life and there have been a few times where i have been suicidal. also, sometimes it's easier to talk to strangers than people you know about certain problems so i think it might be advantageous for her to share her story herself. plus, writing and talking about things is a way to release.now on a more spiritual note, everyone feels weak at one point in their life. but even when a person thinks they have hit rock bottom, they will always hold an inner strength that even THEY don't recognize sometimes. it's up to you as a friend to help her recognize her inner strength and and also why she may have to go through what she is going through right now. with every negative situation, there can be a positive to it. you as a friend have to help her see the positive and why she was born in the first place and what she is meant to do in life and not waste it. you are her friend for a reason. tell her why you are her friend. reinforce the good qualities you see and how it would be a waste if she can't share those good qualities with other people in the future if she continues to think suicidal thoughts and act on them. her problems are on a personal level so help her on more of a personal level in who she is beyond the depression.also, if she wants to talk to someone who has been depressed all his life and has had those suicidal thoughts, send her my way. although her situation is unique and i wouldn't be able to fully understand, i can relate and i know i can help. more than i am willing to say right now. i wish the best for her and i wish the best for you as well because i know you are worried and you don't know fully what to do or say to her. i can tell you though that as a true friend, sometime you don't even have to say a word. just being there is enough. -
xisto charges 13 dollars, not 10. what makes it a better deal is the fact that you get it free if you post in the forums here. if you transfer it to another company, you will have to fork over your hard earned cash. to specifically answer your question though, yes. you can transfer your domain to another host. there will be no problems in that area so no worries. just be prepared to fork over cash every year rather than get it for free by posting in the forums

move on for right now. it sounds to me that she is too busy for any sort of relationship with you or that she isn't as interested in you as you originally thought. she seems to be what i would call a "social butterfly" and you are just one more contact for her when she's bored. if she was interested in you, she would find the time for you. it's that simple. if you have to call her more than once, that is too many times.my advice is simple. end all communication with her. if she calls you, talk to her. if she texts you, text her back. just be friends right now. nothing more. you have done enough of the initiating. put the ball in her court if she wants to talk to you. just consider her another friend or aquantance. nothing more. if she frees up some time for you, then maybe you can think about asking her out. until then, just assume she isn't interested in anything more than being friends.so if she is in deed interested in you right now, she sure isn't showing it and she's playing a game that i personally wouldn't play. it's very controlling and it would just be a start of a controlling relationship where she would be calling the shots where nothing is mutual. it doesn't feel good when you call someone and they can't even call ya back. just think how you would feel if you started going out with her and she showed the same rejection patterns? not a very good feeling bud. let her go for now....

Chat Culture When does fun turn into harassment
anwiii replied to Paige's topic in General Discussion
welcome to Xisto, paige. you bring up a good point and question. i've been communicating with people on the internet for 25 years now. i see the same problems today as i did 20 years ago. in some ways it's getting better, but in other ways it's getting worse because more and more people are coming online and haven't learned chat etiquette and respect for others online.now for the most part, the reason things turn in to harrassment is because some people who come online to chat don't view the internet as "real life".also, everyone has different personalities and it's hard to judge those personalities online when you don't see any feelings or emotions or expressions or tone of voice, etc. which makes it hard to communicate appropriately. so what i tell people is you have to take the good WITH the bad. if it gets really bad, you can always leave for a while until the abuser or harasser is gone and come back. that is the alternative. it's not good to engage anyone who harasses people in the chat room. you don't know who they are and they can be capable of getting a lot worse. you can do more harm than good if you engage people who are abusive. sometimes people come online to vent and the first person who doesn't like what they have to say become targets for those people. it's best to ignore them 100% or leave the room.some people will be so absusive to lower other peoples self esteem and make it look like they have problems if they take anything seriously when it is the person who isn't taking anything seriously that has a MAJOR problem. it's easy for some people to vent like this online because in person, they know they wouldn't get away with it. on the flip side here, those people who are hurtfull online are human beings like you and i. again, they do what they do because they are hurting themselves or outcasts in some ways in real life. what they really need is a friend. people don't try to understand them because they are hurtfull. but if a person can take a step back and ask themselves why some people act the way they do online, they will notice that these people need attention and probably feel misunderstood. so if you were to meet someone like that in real life, most likely, you would try to make them feel better rather than ignore them. the problem is, people can be whoever they want to be online and it's hard to get to those types of people online because they have a lot of barriers and walls up for anyone to get through to them so it's almost pointless trying.i hope this helps you understand better. i haven't covered everything but most of the more important stuff.... -
that's funny because in my original post, i was gonna say aim for bikerman but thought that would be too cruel to say....errr.....ummmm....as a joke ofcourse. it WOULD slow the car down though in all seriousness, i have heard a lot of good suggestions like using the emergency brake and down shifting and leaving the engine on. i have also heard some horrible suggestions like swerving left to right. i think it all depends on your situation and where you are. but the best advice i heard so far that would include ANY situation is to "stay calm". when i was younger, i started to play a game with myself. wherever i was, i would imagine something bad happening and i would ask myself what i would do to get out of that situation. i still do it to this day. it's sorta a sick game, but it can save your life one day if you are aware and prepared in any given situation. if you do play this game, it's also important not to start getting paranoid that the worst will happen. this will cause unrest and you WONT be calm if something DOES happen. the person who lost his life on the freeway in california a couple years ago because his accelerator was stuck was a police officer. someone who was trained in how to maneuver a vehicle and survival insticts. now in that situation, if the emergency brake and down shifting isn't slowing the car down enough, there is a concrete divider on almost 100% of california's freeways(not including highways). some people wouldn't think of slowing thier car down by merging in to the divider because it would ruin their car, but that's one of the first things i would have done if the accelerator was stuck knowing downshifting or the emergency brake wouldn't slow the car down enough for a safe "accident" to completely stop the car. so everything just depends on the circumstances. there is no right answer to this question because the circumstances for one person could be different for another. but again, staying calm is the best advice under ANY circumstance so your thoughts stay clear and untainted by fear and emotion where you can make the best decisions under your specific circumstance.

6 Cool & Useful Google Chrome Tricks Historys Fastest Browser
anwiii replied to deadmad7's topic in The Internet
that is in fact an interesting feature. for the most part, people download to one directory already set in their browser and then apply it to the appropriate folder after the file is saved or unpacked. with this feature makes it easy to be more efficient when you can drag the file directly to the folder you want. interesting. i don't use chrome but am willing to download it just to see how that feature works. it efectively illiminates one step in the organization process of files on the computer that most everyone does. if a person only downloads a file a month, it may make no difference. but if someone downloads 10-20 files a day, it might be a real time saver. especially for those lazy people who waits until their desktop is full before organizing or waiting til their download folder has 100 files in it and forgets what each file actually is. -
Removing Illusion Ii Stepping stones to enlightenment
anwiii replied to TheSeeker's topic in Health & Fitness
bikerman, he was talking about society in general, not groups of people. get a clue, will ya? what does your post have to do with spirituality. it has more to do with psychology. now on topic with your post and the people YOU don't know, what do you call a person who doesn't have any friends to belong to any group who will be there for them? in my opinion, you would label this "group" of people outcasts. you know....the ones who try to make up for their own disability to think they "know it all" just to try and fit in. sound familiar?your response to a spirituality post wasn't even an argument or debate against it. i was surprised. i think you actually thought you could talk about spirituality. -
oh good for you. you couldn't trust the car you almost died in so you sold it to let someone else die in it. what character! i guess you got lucky. unfortunately for everyone else who has ever met you....they got UNlucky.... i thought this was a how to stop a car thread.....not how to stop a moron who doesn't know how to drive....
