I've also been having a bit of a problem lately with the number of topics that have been made here. For me, it's usually trying to find something original to say or add to a discussion. I have to think twice and search before starting a new thread because chances are that topic (or anything connected with it) has been talked about already.

I also went through that horrible acne phase when I was in high school. It was mild, but it was a problem for me. I tried stuff like Oxy 5, but it didn't work...so I turned to prescription skin medicine to get me through until my early twenties. Later on, I also tried witch hazel to clear up/dry the skin as I figured this was a much simpler solution..plus eating the right food.

"Swim across the Atlantic Ocean." That's a good one! Perhaps if they also gave several travel options in the directions it would probably tell you how long it would take for each. I wonder how long the swimming option would take?

My favourite sport is hockey. Exciting to watch and you never know when the change in momentum during a game is going to happen. And although the NHL sometimes gets a bad rap at times, they're still a great league that boasts probably the oldest trophy of all professional sports. So here's my breakdown...Favourite team: Ottawa Senators (What other Canadian team has made it the post-season for ten straight seasons so far?)Favourite players: Sidney Crosby (Pittsburgh, youngest player to win the Art Ross trophy...and he'll only keep improving), Daniel Alfredsson and Ray Emery.

Having played the rock, paper, scissors game a lot over here, I have some really good rounds (which causes some people to say I'm really good) and some bad rounds. None of the options is really a safe first move. Paper can wrap around the rock (so I've learnt), otherwise it might be considered as a fairly weak move. All trial and error really.

For non-active/retired players, I'd pick Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, and Charles Barkley to be among the best players over the past twenty years (although I'm sure there are many more out there).My favourite active NBA players are Vince Carter (first star player of the Toronto Raptors before he went to New Jersey) and Chris Bosh (current star player for the Raptors)

I have several favourite teams - one is the Toronto Raptors (since I'm from Canada) and the Boston Celtics in the East, and Phoenix Suns in the West.

It's a bit of a difficult issue, to be sure, but since the philosophy for many people in America is to "live by the gun", how would you go about changing things? I can only speak for Ontario (the province I grew up in) and in Japan. As far as I know, Ontario does have a gun law and it requires a hunting licence - and they're very strict about that as well.

I was wondering how many people do you know bite their fingernails every day...and I mean people biting them to the point where you can barely see any nails left. Would it be out of boredom? Out of nervousness/anxiety? What do you think?

Although I've never owned either, but I'd consider myself more of a cat person. As much as dogs are more "social" animals, cats are more independant, quiet, and the owner could probably leave them in the house without fear that they'll destroy the furniture.

Interesting that I found this topic on bullies. Over on this side of the pond, bullying (called "ijime" in Japanese) has become quite a hot topic in the public school system. Aside from the countless meetings held by the teachers and PTA on how to handle the issue, I don't know how else they'll approach the affected students. Sure, you could say have a word with the parents...but what if the parents of the bully (and the victim) don't care or if the father's never home to do anything about it? It'll be interesting to see how this comes about. For sure, the bulying issue has led to quite a few suicides by those students who were constantly bullied.

The site's down right now. I take it their changing servers, adding more language support. I personally don't see the need for that much space. Google already had a lot of excellent services that go with Gmail - inlcuding calendar, docs and spreadsheets, reader, and the list keeps growing. What can 45gigs offer that Google can't (aside from the space)? And is it secure?

Hi, scan06disk, and welcome aboard!I'm one of the "veteran" members of the community and think you've found a great place for your hosting needs - not to mention that there are many firendly and helpful people here on the forums. If you encounter any kind of problem, I'm sure at least the moderators (or admin) can help you.Hope you enjoy your stay here, and we'll see you on the boards!

Er....didn't the final version of Mindows Media Player 11 come out with Windows Vista? Maybe there was a minor update / security update that cropped up recently.

Okay, some of this has been mentioned before, but I thought I'd add my voice to the feedback on your site.Given that you built the website in 30 minutes, it's not a bad piece of work but it could be a lot better.I agree on the header - try for something other than dark grey for the colour and/or change the banner/header image and slogan so that it blends in. As it is, the logo sticks out like a sore thumb. No need to have the words "online site". We already know it's online, so why state that in the header logo? See if you can come up with a better name description of the site.The scrolling marquee and other widgets (clock incluced) have got to go - nuff said.Create more professsional sounding link titles.Most importantly, have a specific focus for your site rather than include a bit of everything. Similarly, change your use of language on the site (words like "stuff" are too colloquial, vague, and unprofessional for a portal site).Overall, perhaps change the entire colour scheme to something more subdued and not flashy

I think I agree with some of you in that women are indeed complex...and cunning. I also find it difficult to read a woman's thoughts and actions, yet there are many times when that woman can figure out - by intuition - what's going on in my head - especially if I did something bad. Might as well sum it up in that famous old adage: "Can't live with 'em, can't live wthout 'em"

Most of the time my room is messy, but it's not like a total pig sty. I DO sometimes clean and organize everything if I have a lot of spare time. After that, the room (and desk) stays clean for a while until school/work starts to bulid up to the point when I can't catch up and clean the room at all. Then, I start to leave clothes on the floor, "forget" to hang up my shirts/jackets, leave documents somewhere EXCEPT in places where I should put them. So...in short, I'm not the most organized person in the world when it comes to keeping my room/desk clean.

Eh...not a bad package (I've seen much worse), but it still doesn't compare to what Xisto can offer. Good on you to come across it though.

I'm also interested in web design, although my focus would be more on graphics. The trouble is that I need to build up a portfolio to show what I can do to prospective employers. Of course the other difficulty lies in finding the time. What I'm trying to do is get started on sites like Get a Freelencer and the like...so perhaps something like that on a regular basis each month and you could make some supplementary income.

The sigs are not bad, but they could use some improvement. I take it you might be new to making graphics. Something about the "white part" in one of the sigs just doesn't quite blend in well with the background.

Love the design...not sure about the colour. That's just me, though. If I remember correctly, there's a sig section on this forum where there are lots of other Xisto sigs made by other members of the community. UPDATE - I think this is where you want to show your work or art.
