Well today really opened my eyes, heres my tale of sorrow and realisation, or something like that.Friday just gone 4 of my friends ground up some E and took it in school (its called dabs round here when taken like that).So any way, me + 2 others said they were stupid for doing it in school, they had a good time on it and nothing more was thought of it.Monday (today) rolls along and first thing this morning each of us gets called up to the deputy heads office, one after the other followed by a few other people.As soon as we get a chance to talk we comfirm the fears, its about them taking drugs in school.Now luckily enough I didnt take any (and god am i thankful for that), but they are all shitting it.Not only that, the kid who deals them got busted to, he had 35 pills on him and was seen being taken away in a police van.One of my friends is relly *BLEEP*ed, he has had 3 convictions with drugs before, one assualt and was expelled from a different school because of drugs. He is basically heading straight to juvie, although nothing has been decided yet.The other 3 are more than likely going to get expelled, not only posesion of but taking class A in school, there isnt much hope for them :)So thats 4 of my closest friends, gone, because of drugs. We are all just hoping that they dont all get permenantly expelled, maybe just like a few weeks or something.Thing is, it is blatantly obviouse that someone has reported all of this, the teachers know to much to be conveniance. Now as much as i am sorry for my friends, i fear for the kid who reported it (somehow a name leaked out), he has just got one of the most well known + loved kids and a pretty huge dealer arrested. He has lived a sheltered life and has no idea what he has got himself into, i'm not exagerating when i say he should fear for his life.Any way, so i'm going clean. Not because of all the *BLEEP* about it damaging my health and all, *BLEEP* that. But because of the risk. If they had been found on the streets thats a 5 year prison sentance, in school and they are expelled just before there GCSE's. Drugs have basically destroyed there lives.So yea, i'm a nice ol mixture of pissed off, sad and a heap of other emotions right now, sarcastic comments will really not be appreciated :rolleyes:Ahh well, guess i had to learn the hard way, i always was a *BLEEP* when it came to breaking the rules.Discuss.

Sharn - it is all but impossable to OD on weed, you would green out long before you take enough to die Me + co have thought about acid before, decided it wasnt the best idea. As you said, it is supposed to be the most intense halutionagenic you can get and we thought it would be best not to dive straight in on that. We probably will eventualy try it, but not until we are 100% confortable with other stuff like shrooms. Thanks for the info though

fair enough, I didnt think people on this board would do that though :/ and as for doing an extreme sport, i do, i am an avid BMX'er, mainly street or vert skating. And yes, you are completely right, the buzz you get from dropping into a 12 foot high pipe is much better than any drug i have ever tried. But i dont do drugs to get "the happy feeling", sure i've tried a few and the feeling of happiness is pretty awsome, but those arnt really what i would choose to do. I'm a big fan of halutionagenics, i doubt thats how you spell it but its close enough and to the person who was saying about how your body can create the feelings you get from drugs naturaly - if there is a way to make you halutionate naturaly, please do share it, I would definately be interested Also the thing about going out and robbing someones house while under the influence, yes, that does happen. But not for weed. Dope is dirt cheap, people dont rob houses for it, or mug people, or anything like that. People steal to pay for harder drugs like heroin + cocaine and if you read my first post, i believe it was something like "people who choose to do those drugs deserve everything they get". Also, weed is nothing like alcahol, not in the slightest. People are saying "oh you'll go out and rob a house wile your stoned", no you wont, at all. With alcahol you can be persuaded to do things really easily, being stoned is nothing like that. You still have a clear concept of what is right and wrong and generely when your baked you dont really want to move, let alone break into someones house I wouldnt say i am addicted (although if i was i guess i would be biased heh), i do drugs maybe once a fortnight and i quite often turn them down And given the choice would rather get drunk than stoned any day. I still enjoy life, i still love the rush i get from BMX'ing and do a lot of walking, so am pretty healthy. Lots of people do soft drugs when they are yuong and turn out fine, in fact quite a few do. There are of course the ones that feel stupid enough to try harder stuff, and well, more fool them. Oh, and dont for a second think that i am saying you should all go out and do drugs, not at all. I respect that people have different views and am fine with that, i just dont want you all getting the wrong idea about me Wow, this picked up interest, always good to hear people views, fire away

Excelent, so with those posts put down, time to spark up the debate :rolleyes:I am whole heartedly for drugs. Me and the group i go out with were talking about it today, there hasnt been a weekend in about 3 months where we havnt either got drunk, done drugs or both.But, dont take me for an addict. I dont crave drugs i just enjoy them. i dont NEED them, i just like the feeling they give. Its kind of hard to explain, i think recreational use pretty much sums me up.Now, why do i agree with drugs?Well i would say the main reason is, contrary to popular belief, trying something once or twice wont kill you. Yes i know there is a very small percentage of people that get completely hooked / OD / screw up completely on there first try, but it is a very small percentage."why take the risk?" is s pretty much pointless argument, you take risks every time you walk past someone smoking, cross a main road, leave the house. Admitedly these are higher risks, but no more than getting drunk, in fact probably less.Please bear in mind that when i say all this, i am talking about softcore drugs, (dope, salvia, ecstacy etc) if you are stupid enough to go and skag up then you deserve everything you get.i'm typing this as thoughts come to my mind, so you'll have to put up with it being a bit disordly :)But yea, people say "why do [drug]?"bottom line - its fun.the feeling of being so stoned you can barely move and yet are laughing so hard at nothing.The feeling of being completely unstopable and the happyness that E gives. People say "oh thats pretty sad that you need E to make you happy" but seriosly, once you've felt the happy i get off it you would understand.So yea, "you're damaging your health!"yea i probably am, but smoking a few J's once a week f*cks me up less than getting completely wasted at parties and what not, so i think i'll survive.to the post above - why? the guy is causing no trouble in his own home, he isnt going out starting fights, he is just quietly stoning in his own home :rolleyes:One last thing - dont take this post as me saying weed doesnt hurt you, it definately does. But, it is better for you than tobaco and doesnt dmg the body as much as binge drinking.It is however, a gateway drug. What i mean by that is you will do it saying you'll never do any other drugs at all but somehow it will lead you onto other *BLEEP*.

Well, topic says it all.I'll let a few pople post there views before i throw up mine, purely because i think it will make the debate a lot more interesting. + i'm late for meeting people :)Any ways, post away

The knifes i'll go with definately, i hate the constant fear that someone could start a fight with me and stab me :S But, the no "painful street-fighting moves" depend on the situation. If you're fighting in school then yes, this should go. But on the streets, not at all. You'll do anything neccisary (within reason, obviosly) to stop the oponant, if that means breaking an arm then so be it. You have to look at it that if they were willing to start the fight then they were willing to get hurt And about the knocking someone out, again, in school no, on the street, yes. Purely because its easier than you think, strong punches to the face and most people are out. Around me, all fights end in either being knocked out or running off. Yea i live in a pretty bad area

I would say yes, but i'm quite a violent person thinking about it.The way You have to look at is generally in schools, if you dont start a fight, you wont really get in trouble for it. Well thats how it works at my school any way :rolleyes:Not only that, but if the entire school sees you kick the *BLEEP* into some smart *bottom* who thought you were some *****, you get a lot more respect.I've tried and tested this theory, people pick on the kids that they know wont fight back. Just trust me hehAs for fighting in the streets, if you have ever had a street fight you will understand how amazingly fun they are. I know this sounds bad but yes, the rush you get from them is better than any high i've ever had.But, with all that said, i dont go around looking for fights. If some punk wants to start sh*t with me, then thats his problem and im not going to back down from that. I am not, however, one of those irritating kids that thinks they are harder than bricks and can start on who ever they want.Bottom line - Yes, fighting is definately worth it, just dont get gripped by the pigs

Thanks for all the help people, but it kind of dawned on me today that for what i'm actualy using this site for, its not worth wasting space, bandwidth, time and all that.I will how ever stick around the forums, it seems like you've got a good thing going :)Thanks again for your help but yea, its just not working out.

Yea my school is pretty screwed up, there is a pretty huge drugs market with known dealers of year 11 + 10.Every friday roughly half the school gets drunk at lunch to help them "relax" for the last lesson lolmost common drug that gets done in school is EThings are always getting stolenGraffiti is a pretty huge problem, about a month ago someone went on a rampage one night and hit up all round the entire school.there are distint groups of people that hate each other, rarely comes to a huge fight but when it does, its amazing :)fights are pretty common, one every 2-3 weeks or socant think of anything else, but yea, UK schools, gotta love em

Wow, that looks awsome! if any one has any info on the PC release of this, please PM me!

That looks awsome :)can you show the original image so we can compare?

still no luck, when i try that format with IE i get: And when i try it with firefox i get an alert box with: 421 unable to set up secure anonymous FTP :S Am i supposed to be using a FTP program rather than a browser? Notice from BuffaloHELP: All copied words should be in QUOTES

Ok so i just created my account, all is up and running fine. I tried to click the link at the bottom of the creation page (white background, text saying all the details, that one ), tried to log in and it wouldnt let me, i tried the password i had set for it and my forum pass, no luck So any way, i clicked on the FTP link just underneath it and the page cannot be found :S I went to the homepage of my site and saw the thing about going to cpanel, tried it again there and it still wont let me. It says on the page that i should check a PM, but i havnt recieved one :S Whats gone wrong? any help would be appreciated! *edit* its taken the credits, so im presuming its done its thing =/ *edit again* doh, got it sorted, someone please delete this, so sorry for the waste of time *edit once again* read this bit the FTP is still playing up, what should the address be for the FTP, tried the usual sitename.trap17.com and ftp.http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/with no luck, what should this be?

for those who havnt played the game, you can't understand how easy it is to get addicted :)Me + a friend were complete WoW junkies for about a year, never going out, never seeing any one, all we talked about was WoW, weekend involved 20 hours of solid play, grab a few hours sleep, 20 hours of play.Grades started slipping, i lost contact with friends, basically became a complete looser, as did he.Luckily i actualy stopped and looked at things one day and realised how bad they were, stopped playig the same day :rolleyes:My friend didnt, he still plays for 40 hours each weekend, gets home at 4 and plays till 12 then gets up at 6 to squeeze in a few hours before school. WoW has basically completely destroyed him :rolleyes:So yea, dont play wow heh, its a great game, but far to addicting.

Hey all, only just notced the introductions thread, seems a bit strange having it all the way at the bottom of the main page :)Any way, I'll keep it nice and short;I am a fairly creative person, i like to animate, create 3D models (bad ones at that ), draw, the usual things.I have a passion for film and the creation of, you'll no doubt see my latest and greatest creations somewhere around these boards in the future :rolleyes:free time usualy involves going out with mates, hitting up parties, doing one of the above listed things, i'm not sure of the average age on here so i'll leave it at that :rolleyes:Any way, hi and all that.

http://www.ciao.co.uk/ Any of you guys tried it out? I went through a spell a while ago where i wrote quite a few reviews, got about Ł30 in a month although they have to be decent reviews. The surveys are where the real cash is, they send out 1 roughly every 2-3 days, normaly about Ł1.50-Ł2.50 a survey, thats the only reason i got Ł30 in a month If you've got the time i would definately recomend it, takes a bit of work but pays off in the end

Hello all, first post here, nice idea you've got going with the whole credit thing So i thought i'd do my bit and write up a quick tutorial on what i've found with my time on the net. Before we start, i'd just like to say that when i say 'blog', dont think of a site where all you can do is type up your life. No. What I mean is intergrating a program into your site that allows you to post news with ease while still still being able to keep the site open to other things. If your not clear on what i mean, read on and things should clear up. Now i'm not going to go into a great deal of depth, purely because i have found 2 programs that work briliantly for 2 different options. Why would you need more? Option 1: Using MySQL / MsQL I would say that you're better off going with this option out of the 2, but generaly speaking you will need to fork out some cash to get a hosting plan that allows a database. Any way, for this one you're going to want WORDPRESS. If you didnt understand what i meant by 'blog', hopefully browsing around that site will clue you in I can personally vouch for WP, my site (PHROST) runs on it and as you can see, it is much more than just a simple blog Why is WP so great? Well for a start it is very simple to use, you might have a bit of trouble getting it all set up (i did heh), but the forums are extremely helpfull. After that it is just a case of click "new post" and type away! Not only that but you can addons, allowing you to put galleries in (like the one on my site), intergrating adverts, putting in radios, the list goes on. Also you can get new skins for your site, meaning you can have it up in seconds. Or, if you're like me and prefer the creative side of web design you can take skin and mod the graphics to get your own completely custom site. Oh, and the "proudly powered by wordpress" thing at the bottom is optional, but i thought i should leave it there, purely because they are so helpfull Option 2: Using PHP Not as great as option 1, but still quite nice. For this one you're going to want CUTENEWS. Again i can personally vouch for this as it is what my site ran on before wordpress. I'll admit its been a while since i used this, so my memory might not be spot on. Basically it is like a simpler version of WP. You can post, edit, delete posts, the comments system is all taken care of, its all there. Also it is VERY easy to install, pretty much just copy the folder to your site and go to install.php and follow there instructions, thats it. You can sort of get skins, but you'll need to code them yourself. By this i mean you can completely edit how the news is displayed and they give you templates to work off, but you'll need to know your way around HTML + a bit of CSS to edit them really. Not much else i can say about it, i think ive covered most of its features. Well there you go, i said it didnt go into great detail, but those 2 programs work brilliantly, so i see no need to Hope this helps!
