I never actually owned a computer, (I use a laptop now) I used to just randomly borrow my parent's computer to do homework or something. I haven't really entered the world of the internet until about 3 years ago. And I've been using this computer (laptop) since then.

I don't see why people have to "smoke" "drink" "have sex" at such an early age. It's not like you'll miss out on all of these 5 or so years later. Waiting only makes the rewards taste sweeter than when you have it early. I personally am against drinking at all. (Can't say I'll still agree if for whatever reason I decide to take up drinking though...) It doesn't help me at all, all it does is waste money. It doesn't taste good. And drinking it will only hurt me more than it will help me. Sure, it might help me fall asleep faster (psh) or forget my troubles, but it seems kinda redundant to me.

It depends on how you see it. I saw somewhere that describes every decision that we make as a different universe. Basically, you start with an object and everything that can happen to it becomes an alternate universe.Let's take a human for example. If we use the theory we mentioned above, every moment of our life is an alternate universe. Because the above made no sense, I'm going to try explaining it again. Think of it as a tree. A tree starts off as a small seed and it gradually grows. Every branch it spawns is an alternate universe that is just exactly like ours, except it's slightly different in terms of what happens. And there is an infinete amount of branches.And because I suck at explaining stuff, I'm just going to say, if you want to know more, delve your mind into the depths of String Theory. It's really interesting.

Music is basically a string of sound waves that your brain percieves as a catchy tune. Think vibrations of frequency and all that stuff, and you'll get the idea.

I use Azureus, mainly because it has never failed me. And if anyone says that this BitTorrent client gives you faster speed or whatever, they're lying or not too smart. The type of BitTorrent client you use doesn't really matter, it's the torrent that you're using that affects the speed. (And also your ISP of course.)Azureus a bit of a computer resource hog, so if you don't have a fast computer (like me...) then you're better off without something else. BitTornado isn't that bad.

Let's try to explain this in simple terms, assuming he's new to the internet. (Not meant to be offensive)Hosting requires servers, servers requires money to pay for. And that money comes out of the pockets of the owners of the servers. To get money for the servers, the owners either charge YOU money for it, OR put advertisements on every page of your site, thus earning them money, OR they put advertisements on their own site and find a way for you to visit it. By posting on the forum, you're meant to visit the forum, thus generating revenue for the owners.Note: I'm aware that Xisto wasn't meant to be making money off the people that visit the forum. But I'm pretty sure the ads ARE there to make some sort of money, right? ;

I probably won't use up my million dollars... But if I had to say, I'd probably buy the things I couldn't before. But not like cars or houses, that's just a waste of money. Then I'll probably donate some of it to people. I'm a nice guy, and I like to give back to people. Like Xisto for example. And speaking of Xisto, I'm definetely getting myself some paid hosting on Xisto - Web Hosting :)Then finally, I'll probably bank it or something... I can't see myself going on a shopping spree everyday until I eventually run out of money.

What do you expect? It's Japan that's making all of this, so it's obvious they'll get it first. You can't just hold Japan off until the US gets their hands on it to release it there. :)And if this is true, then the PS3 will probably lose against the Wii. And if things continue to go downhill like this, the Xbox360 will probably beat it too. Sony's in a tough situation now.

I really wouldn't suggest making your own private server unless you know what you're doing. For one thing, it's going to waste a lot of time and you need a really good server to use or you'll be experiencing a lot of lag. And if you don't know how to handle a private server, you'll probably get taken advantaged of.But...a tutorial is a tutorial.

I don't like the idea of going to people like for a free domain. It seems very risky to me. They might take advantage of your info or something. I don't understand why everyone sees having a domain name as such a big deal. Sure, it's better to have one if you can, but it's not that big of a deal. It just makes the site look better, and it's easier to get to it, without having to type all the subdomain info.If anything, .TK should be good enough.

Seriously, people need to look at the date of when the topic was created sometimes. And I don't mean topics that can be revived at anytime because it's available for everyone to add a comment. I'm talking about help/support topics. I mean, obviously if a topic was created back in February, then the problem was probably solved because the topic creator never replied back. [Cookie for anyone that knows the topic I'm referring to.]And of course, there are the people that are basically rephrasing what everyone else is saying in the topic. Sometimes, you'll find that in a topic (new or old, but usually old) there will be multiple instances of the same reply only rephrased in a different way. So please people, try to at least see if the topic still deserves a comment after half a year before making one.

Well, we have a partner site/forum just for that. And I don't think it would be wise to link the credits to the Arcade. Eventually, people will find out how to manipulate it. And plus, it'd be kinda hard to code it with the Credit System and it just might bug up the forum. As Saint Michael said, it'd be best to stay away from ideas that have anything to deal with the credits and stuff. I myself personally want something that want to do with Writing. Some sort of contest maybe. I know I'm not the best writer, but I guess it would be kinda interesting to have a contest where people submit their writing. And then we could set up a poll for people to vote on their favorite. And then people could put up reviews or something. There IS a section for this, but not many people use it sadly. (The Creativity Forum) Also, I don't think anyone even uses that forum to put Writing. All I see is songs and stuff...which isn't very interesting in my opinion because you can't really feel it unless you hear the song.

A few things came to mind, some serious, some silly. Wasn't there some kind of way to remember the order of the planets? M.V.E.M.J.S.U.N.P. <= something like "My very * mother just * * * * pie" (someone fill this in for me. I never really used that before...) or whatever. Wouldn't taking Pluto out of the system totally kill that way of remembering the order of the planets? :DAlso, yeah, it sucks to be Pluto. I find Pluto to be one of the coolest planets in the Solar System. (yeah, even more than Earth << >> ) It's so small yet so mysterious. And then there's also the fact that it sometimes treads pass the path Neptune uses to revolve around the sun. It makes me think that what would happen if they suddenly collided one day. (yeah, i'll be dead by then.....)Also, I heard that they were going to add another planet into the solar system to take place of Pluto. The guy who discovered was going to name it "Xena" after the TV show "Xena warrior princess" or something...I find it insulting to Pluto that a random object is going to take its place. Sure, it's be bigger than it. But everyone knows that it's Quality over Quantity. And I find Pluto to be much more interesting than this Xena. I mean, how long will it take to reach it with a space ship? It'll probably be a few more decades until they try to launch until ship to Xena. (Wasn't there a ship heading to Pluto too? They better NOT change the course of the ship to head towards Xena or something...)

Don't hundreds of people visit the site/forum everyday? All of them are interested in getting free web hosting, but they'd rather not work for it which leads to them being a guest and not registering. If you've noticed at all, there're almost always more guests than members online. Sometimes there're some anonymous members too.And if I'm not mistaken, sometimes, there can be multiple instances of the same IP. If you access Xisto with two browsers, the other one will be a guest. (unless you've logged in with that browser before and you stayed on) Sometimes, people like to alternate between browsers, which can lead to two of the same IPs visiting the forum.Also, you can't really expect every member that've joined to be online at the same time. Some people are seperated by timezones. So while 1000 users can be online now, the other 1000 (assuming there are 2000 users using Xisto.....) will be sleeping or doing something else.

You're kidding. Back when I was still using DSL, it gave me problems every week. It has been to point where I had some technicians come over to my house at least once every month only to have the same problem return everytime. I hated my ISP (Verizon if you're curious). I used to call them at night a lot because they're help service is online 24/7. And not because I wanted to annoy them, it's because I don't have a lot of time in the day.
