Phoenix.Illusion

You can see Ash-bashes warn log? Really? Why can't I see that? This is so weird...Yeah, I actually think -Sky- should also be in the vote for being a mod too, but not if he doesn't want to be one.
He's pretty active and quite helpful as well. smile.gif

Well -Sky- would like to be
Ive seen his warn log both of them before yes.

Phoenix.

I use to use AdBlocker for Firefox but I now dont, For obvious reasons, I now use:Adblocker:Right-click on a banner and choose "Adblock" from the context menu - the banner won't be downloaded again. Maybe even replace parts of the banner address with star symbols to block similar banners as well. Or you select a filter subscription when Adblock Plus starts up the first time, then even this simple task will usually be unnecessary: the filter subscription will block most advertisements fully automatically.

I would of course like to be a moderator however If I do enter myself into the Poll it will look greedy. I would only do that if you guys where Ok with it.

Somehow no offence of course but im not sure you woul get moderator with your warn log.
Well its always worth a try.

*Whispers to -Sky-*

Well I think the exist yes. But im not sure many people in my family would agree to be honest. They think its just made up and everything. If I talk about ti to the family the conversation would go on for ages.

Here is a little something I found that may explain it:

Frank Drake, in the early 1960s, came up with an equation (called the "Drake Equation") that calculated the possibility of extraterrestrial life. He determined that there was a possibility of 100,000 to 1,000,000 extraterrestrial civilizations in our galaxy (the Milky Way) alone. With so many complex and huge solar systems across the galaxy, the Earth cannot be the centre of the universe. Because if it is then what is the purpose of the rest of the huge universe?
Water is the main source of life on Earth. Taking a clue from this, European scientists, using ultra cold orbiting telescopes, have discovered unimaginable volumes of water in inter-stellar space. This discovery raises questions about life elsewhere in the universe. Scientists were astounded to find water in the freezing atmosphere of Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Saturn (and its moon Titan). They have even identified a cloud of water, less than a light year across, in the constellation Orion.

A year after the US dropped its Pathfinder lander and its rover on the Martian surface, some scientists claimed that Mars could have some sort of life. There is evidence of an ancient world that was warm, wet and possibly hospitable to life long ago and a dry rocky world that has changed little in about two thousand million years. About three thousand million to 4.5 thousand million years ago, there was fast flowing water which deposited some boulders on the Martian surface which the Pathfinder recorded and beamed back to earth.

Many people believe that research on UFOs and aliens is not intellectually respectable and there are those who think that making myths the basis for research is unscientific and only leads to mystical speculation.

As a researcher once remarked: "If they exist, they have shown little willingness to cooperate with human investigators. There is even evidence suggesting that they deliberately try to keep humans in the dark about their activities and nature." But then a large number of human-alien encounters have left hard evidence - photographs, instrument readings that have recorded the flight of UFOs and human experiences that has been scientifically examined. Based on those evaluations Dr Walther Riedel, once chief designer and research director at the German rocket centre, said: "I am completely convinced that they (flying saucers) have an out-of-the-world basis."

This statement was based on four vital observations: "First, the skin temperatures of the ships operating under the observed conditions would make it impossible for any terrestrial structure to survive. The skin friction at those speeds and at those altitudes would melt any metal or nonmetal available; second, think about what the centrifugal force, in a few minutes of the high acceleration at which they fly and manoeuvre, would do to the crew and their blood; third, there are many occurrences where they have done things that only a pilot could perform but no human pilot could stand; and fourth, in most reports there has been lack of visible jets. Most observers have reported that such ships have been without visible flame and no trail. If it would be any known type of jet, rocket, piston engine or chain-reaction motor, there would be a very clear trail at high altitude."

The Earth has and still undergoes anomalies which have neither been justified by historical standards nor explained by science. The one-mile long carving of a human-like face on the surface of Mars and the presence of nearby ruins of a pyramid and city strongly suggest that at one point in time, there could have been some ties between the Earth and Mars.

Alan Alford is of the view that as the pyramids and the Sphinx at Giza, Egypt, have been dated back to around 10500-8000 BC, it proves that a highly advanced but unrecorded civilization existed at that time. The exact alignment of the Giza pyramids to the three stars of Orion's Belt reflects the interest of that culture in astronomy. This is also supported by the findings at Stonehenge, where it has been established that wooden totem poles, dated as far back as 8000 BC, are a sort of astronomical marker, a forerunner to the stone observatory built in 2700 BC.

The school of thought which believes in the existence of extraterrestrial is of the view that these wonders were built by people from some other planet who were advanced enough to have travelled to Earth and make it their station. After gauging these structures in relevance to the history of the evolution of man, it just does not seem possible that they could have been constructed by humans. It's not just the astronomical aspect alone which supports this thought but also the aeronautical advancement influencing such developments. The best evidence in this respect can been seen at Baalbek, Lebanon, where a huge platform was constructed in ancient times with stones weighing hundreds of tons - an accomplishment very difficult to duplicate even today with all the modern technology. Mythology links this sacred site of Baalbek with the sun god Helios, who parked his chariot on this platform. There are the Nazca Lines in Peru, properly visible from the air, which also tells of a similar legend. All these structures and their similarity to the ones on Mars lead to the question whether the aeronautical technology of the gods included space travel. In 1976, an American author, Zecharia Sitchin, gave proof that the gods were indeed space travellers and also that the Earth was once visited by the Anunnaki (literally meaning "Those who from heaven to earth came").The evidence as to where these aliens came from continues to point to the mysterious Planet X, the tenth planet of the solar system. Despite various governments' attempts to disregard its presence, many astronomers believe that it exits because of the anomalies that have been recorded in the orbits of the outer planets. Due to its highly elliptical 3600-year orbit, it has not been possible to visually confirm the existence of Planet X. In his book The Twelfth Planet, Sitchin deciphered an ancient clay planisphere from the British Museum, which presented a route map of the people from Planet X to Earth. Their journey through the solar system to the earth was commemorated in an ancient Babylonian ritual called the "procession of Madruk." It was only after thorough research that Sitchin realized that Babylonians had named Planet X as Madruk, and after that he was able to decipher their route map.

Contrary to popular belief, there is no evidence to suggest that any of the Egyptian pyramids were meant to be used as tombs. The dating of the Giza Pyramid to 10450 BC brings in the possibility that all the later pyramids were poor copies, made by the pharaohs after discovering that food and human bodies don't decay in them. John D. Miller, in his article on The Pyramid of a fallen god, concludes that: "The Great Pyramid is undoubtedly one of the oldest structures in Egypt... there is no record in Egypt itself of any gradual development of architectural knowledge and skill. How did this exquisite technical knowledge and skill displayed in this vast structure suddenly make its appearance in this mysterious land? We might even ask the further question, which, indeed has been asked before. Though the Great Pyramid is in Egypt, is it of Egypt?"

It is interesting to note the connection between the five-sided pyramid on Mars and the Great Pyramid at Giza. Alan F. Alford in one of his books has demonstrated how its chambers, passages and shafts could have formed the functional component of a hydrogen gas power generator, fuelled by water after being split into its basic elements. It has now been scientifically proven that Mars also had abundance of water in the bygone era. So it is possible that both the pyramids of Mars and Earth were huge energy devices with multi-functional purposes.

Pyramids stand out in a lot of ways and have astounded scientists for ages, allowing research to focus on them. But besides, this wonder, many parts of the world are sprayed with remnants of alien or strange people. A mysterious rock carving near Navai, Uzbekistan, estimated to be 3000 years old, has images of men wearing respirators. Could the object with rays be a space rocket? Then, in the ancient cave painting in the Prince Regent Valley in Kimberleys in Australia, a figure wearing a helmet with antenna is shown - an alien? Nearly all myths and folklore are full of tales of flying objects. Even if it were all pure imagination, they would have had to get the notion from some where. The story behind the rise of Dalai Lama and where he got his powers from also talks of extraterrestrial transferring their knowledge to humans.

We live in a three dimensional world with time being termed as the fourth, but why should we suppose that any living being in any other planet has to be in these dimensions only. Maybe there are more dimensions, complimenting their existence in their world. The probabilities are endless.

In spite of all the research, first hand experiences and beliefs about the existence of extraterrestrial, there is one aspect that confounds me. Why is it that the people in the subcontinent mostly encounter jinns, the presence of which is verified in the Holy Quran, and those living in the West mostly encounter aliens and their ships. There have been media reports suggesting that various governments, with the USA topping the list, have been trying to hide and cover up the presence of extraterrestrial from the public. It will probably take some more time and more public reception and participation to determine the truth. If there are extraterrestrial, then we have already lost a lot of time by not accepting their presence. There's truth waiting to be discovered outside the circle of our compact lives. If only we would open up to the possibility that we might not be alone in this huge universe.

Hi guys just to let you know I have now added a Poll to the first topic please make sure you vote! You can reply as well if you would like .

Thanks I have voted.

It's good you didn't specify WHO should be staff though, I wouldn't have voted otherwise as I wouldn't know who to vote for. (As I'm new and only know a few people here)

Even if Ash-Bash added what moderators I would not of voted as something bad could happen .

For all the advertising FireFox did about their ultra fast firefox 3.51 from my initial testing it seems not only slow on XP, it's but slower than 3.0! It still opens up slower than almost every app I use which is my normal experience with FireFox and not too different slower or faster from 3.0, but I noticed a serious decrease in tab switching speed. I have no idea why as I never noticed any delays when switching tabs in 3.0 but with 3.51 it takes about 1-3 seconds to change the focus to another tab. It's so annoying I'm thinking of going back to 3.0 even though I was pleasantly surprised most of the extensions I use were already updated to support 3.5. I'm using Tab Kit and never tried FF 3.5 without it to see if the tab switching was laggy-- but I don't want to disable it. I like Tab Kit

Well actually I haven't noticed its faster. I suppose they have tweaked it to load web pages up faster but that's about it here is what is new:

More Secure
* One-click site info: Click the site favicon in the location bar to see who owns the site and to check if your connection is protected from eavesdropping. Identity verification is prominently displayed and easier to understand. When a site uses Extended Validation (EV) SSL certificates, the site favicon button will turn green and show the name of the company you're connected to. (Try it here!)
* Malware Protection: malware protection warns users when they arrive at sites which are known to install viruses, spyware, trojans or other malware. (Try it here!)
* New Web Forgery Protection page: the content of pages suspected as web forgeries is no longer shown. (Try it here!)
* New SSL error pages: clearer and stricter error pages are used when Firefox encounters an invalid SSL certificate. (Try it here!)
* Add-ons and Plugin version check: Firefox now automatically checks add-on and plugin versions and will disable older, insecure versions.
* Secure add-on updates: to improve add-on update security, add-ons that provide updates in an insecure manner will be disabled.
* Anti-virus integration: Firefox will inform anti-virus software when downloading executables.
* Vista Parental Controls: Firefox now respects the Vista system-wide parental control setting for disabling file downloads.
* Effective top-level domain (eTLD) service better restricts cookies and other restricted content to a single domain.
* Better protection against cross-site JSON data leaks.

Easier to Use

* Easier password management: an information bar replaces the old password dialog so you can now save passwords after a successful login.
* Simplified add-on installation: the add-ons whitelist has been removed making it possible to install extensions from third-party sites in fewer clicks.
* New Download Manager: the revised download manager makes it much easier to locate downloaded files, and you can see and search on the name of the website where a file came from. Your active downloads and time remaining are always shown in the status bar as your files download.
* Resumable downloading: users can now resume downloads after restarting the browser or resetting your network connection.
* Full page zoom: from the View menu and via keyboard shortcuts, the new zooming feature lets you zoom in and out of entire pages, scaling the layout, text and images, or optionally only the text size. Your settings will be remembered whenever you return to the site.
* Podcasts and Videocasts can be associated with your media playback tools.
* Tab scrolling and quickmenu: tabs are easier to locate with the new tab scrolling and tab quickmenu.
* Save what you were doing: Firefox will prompt users to save tabs on exit.
* Optimized Open in Tabs behavior: opening a folder of bookmarks in tabs now appends the new tabs rather than overwriting.
* Location and Search bar size can now be customized with a simple resizer item.
* Text selection improvements: multiple text selections can be made with Ctrl/Cmd; double-click drag selects in "word-by-word" mode; triple-clicking selects a paragraph.
* Find toolbar: the Find toolbar now opens with the current selection.
* Plugin management: users can disable individual plugins in the Add-on Manager.
* Integration with Windows: Firefox now has improved Windows icons, and uses native user interface widgets in the browser and in web forms.
* Integration with the Mac: the new Firefox theme makes toolbars, icons, and other user interface elements look like a native OS X application. Firefox also uses OS X widgets and supports Growl for notifications of completed downloads and available updates. A combined back and forward control make it even easier to move between web pages.
* Integration with Linux: Firefox's default icons, buttons, and menu styles now use the native GTK theme.

More Personal

* Star button: quickly add bookmarks from the location bar with a single click; a second click lets you file and tag them.
* Tags: associate keywords with your bookmarks to sort them by topic.
* Location bar & auto-complete: type in all or part of the title, tag or address of a page to see a list of matches from your history and bookmarks; a new display makes it easier to scan through the matching results and find that page you're looking for. Results are returned according to their frecency (a combination of frequency and recency of visits to that page) ensuring that you're seeing the most relevant matches. An adaptive learning algorithm further tunes the results to your patterns!
* Smart Bookmarks Folder: quickly access your recently bookmarked and tagged pages, as well as your more frequently visited pages with the new smart bookmarks folder on your bookmark toolbar.
* Places Organizer: view, organize and search through all of your bookmarks, tags, and browsing history with multiple views and smart folders to store your frequent searches. Create and restore full backups whenever you want.
* Web-based protocol handlers: web applications, such as your favorite webmail provider, can now be used instead of desktop applications for handling mailto: links from other sites. Similar support is available for other protocols (Web applications will have to first enable this by registering as handlers with Firefox).
* Download & Install Add-ons: the Add-ons Manager (Tools > Add-ons) can now be used to download and install a Firefox customization from the thousands of Add-ons available from our community add-ons website. When you first open the Add-ons Manager, a list of recommended Add-ons is shown.
* Easy to use Download Actions: a new Applications preferences pane provides a better UI for configuring handlers for various file types and protocol schemes.

Improved Platform for Developers

* New graphics and font handling: new graphics and text rendering architectures in Gecko 1.9 provides rendering improvements in CSS, SVG as well as improved display of fonts with ligatures and complex scripts.
* Color management: (set gfx.color_management.enabled on in about:config and restart the browser to enable.) Firefox can now adjust images with embedded color profiles.
* Offline support: enables web applications to provide offline functionality (website authors must add support for offline browsing to their site for this feature to be available to users).
* A more complete overview of Firefox 3 for developers is available for website and add-on developers.

Improved Performance

* Speed: improvements to our JavaScript engine as well as profile guided optimizations have resulted in continued improvements in performance. Compared to Firefox 2, web applications like Google Mail and Zoho Office run twice as fast in Firefox 3, and the popular SunSpider test from Apple shows improvements over previous releases.
* Memory usage: Several new technologies work together to reduce the amount of memory used by Firefox 3 over a web browsing session. Memory cycles are broken and collected by an automated cycle collector, a new memory allocator reduces fragmentation, hundreds of leaks have been fixed, and caching strategies have been tuned.
* Reliability: A user's bookmarks, history, cookies, and preferences are now stored in a transactionally secure database format which will prevent data loss even if their system crashes.

Thanks to firefox for providing this information.

I take it you mean Command & Conquer: Generals Zero Hour

That game may not be compatible with Windows Vista as some games are not.
But, When you say "moderator" what do you mean?
That can range from all different kind of things.

Transferring some files to Central Gaming? That's an FTP Drive, no? It's a bit different from a virtual drive as it accesses the website, etc. Also, yes, Vista & Virtual Drives can be *BLEEP* sometimes.

Oh yes I know, I must of had a memory & brain wipe out completely.
I managed to set one up the other day I just hated it.

Johnny DeppVincent D'Onofrio
Gary Oldman

Totally I agree with you!
I must add one more to the list that actor out of faulty towers. The Spanish fella.

Phoenix

well; I have this error when I try to import a database estructure and data from other BD. I find in other sites and I no have responses, I increase the limit of memory in php.Ini, but the same error follow.

You will need to contact you host to see if it can be changed.
In most cases they cant change it without and upgrade of a small fee.

I have realized that I am in the NEGATIVE on myCENT. I'm not sure why this has happened.Yesterday it was in the thousands,

There is currently a topic open asking for redesigns of the Xisto website. Take a look, design one yourself, offer suggestions to people and see if we can come up with a good website.
OpaQue and BuffaloHELP are active most days, but doing other things that keep Xisto running, and therefore Xisto running. The admins don't really have a lot more power over the day to day forum stuff than moderators do, so an active team of moderators works just as well.

Well actually I have seen that and thinking of entering it.
But yes I now think the admins keep cool here now.

Yes you will be able to get out of that by posting.

When you say "one-liners," what are you referring to? What does Xisto count as a one-liner?

Something like

Just over an hour ago I had about 68 MyCents. Now I'm in the negatives....

Yeah, i heard some good things about Joomla as well. and i guess integrating joomla with SMF will be a good option. i'm going to contact SMF & Joomla support forums for this before getting started to check if i get prompt response in case i get stuck in next few steps. I'm not sure if Wordpress/Habari can be integrated and i guess it'll be pain if i added wordpress with SMF cause there are lot of updates for it these days. So going with Joomla,let's see if it works on test machine will try it finally then.

My problem with Pretty URL MOD is that i installed it and when i rewrite .hta nothing was working. every URL be it login or threads. all are screwed up. will try asking this on SMF forums soon. but is it necessary to apply this MOD earlier i mean i've got more that 300 posts on forums. so is it too late to apply this MOD ?

Yes, for themes i've few mockups in my mind and i've made it on Photoshop as well. Looking for more like professional theme(like appbid.com site's look )your help for themes in this is appreciated. Do let me know if any theme or designersite pointer for this.

I dont actually think that is a good idea.
For a start they are both easily hackable and I know they are and there are probably 100 hackers on here that know how to hack.

We are just awaiting upon the admins!?!

For a start the quality of your posts are bad and 1 liners.Now have a look at mine at the right << (If you call that bad!)All you have to do is post some good quality posts and that should go down in 1 post.

Even though I have Verizon, I would have prefered to go with AT&T. They have the ability to use SIM cards (meaning you can use old phones without having to go and register them). Plus, they have the iPhone. Verizon's support has always been VERY bad for me, and I think that the internet prices are bad, and I don't like how you can't use a WiFi PDA without a data plan. Post your thoughts.

Well... I couldn't possibly say or comment but what I have heard from people.
That At&t is the best.

I really don't know how all this really happened! I recently introduced my brother to the Xisto forums. He registered just yesterdaty. He has a good grip on spirituality and was going to post there today. But I don't know how - my session (as 'kasperooney') was still active even though I remember pressing 'log out'. So guess what happened? The posts that he wrote with great effort came under my account and I got a hefty amount of myCENTs for that! I am hardly active in the spirituality section and it was kind of amusing to read one member's post appreciating my brother's views but thinking that I wrote all that....
I remember reading somewhere that myCENTs are not transferrable. But is it possible to make an exception in this case? Btw, I'm not making this all up!

Hello kasperooney and thank-you for your question.

At the moment myCENT can not be transferable in your case. Other people will say learn from your mistakes!
Many-thanks, Hopefully that helped.

The last book I read was of course:
Harry Potter.
Did anyone else read it and what did you think about it.

QUOTE (Tramposch @ Aug 20 2009, 09:27 AM) *I think what they are looking for is a person who has been posting here for a long time and is a very old member because they then now how trusted the user is.


Sorta like you, eh.

It's good to see that some of the forum is starting to get updated. Seems to be alot to do. I suggest pruning topics that are 1 year or older, and also the members. Also update the free hosting methods and deleting the old methods just so people don't get confused. Oh and we need a selection of forum themes biggrin.gif That will keep things interesting. ARGH hope these changes are made.

Actually yes, This is what I would like to see around here:

New website
New forum theme
A admin that can keep active most days (no offense)
Free hosting methords need upgrading.
Maybe upgrade to IPB 3.0.2 when most of the holes have been patched.

I may not of been here longer then any of you lot and I may have more/less warnings then you or even none.
But I do totally agree with you guys that Xisto needs a new staff team.
The moderators listed above are active but I haven't even heard of the others.
I have PMed OpaQue and still awaiting a response!
BuffaloHelp also seems to be inactive

That's really sad. Just leave the guy alone, he's gone now let him rest in peace. As Michael Jackson once said in one of his songs "Just leave me alone".

Well I can not possibly comment on that but now it seems the media has calmed down abit on MJ.
They are now focused on the doctor.
But yes I think they should just let him rest in peace.

Well he is no longer coming back to Arsenal

The same goes with Toure he has also left.

Well I wish them good luck at there no club!

 

Dark Archer

Yes, I also agree thank you Ash-Bash for posting the topic.What do others think?

Well I don't live in the United States of America but no you cant get arrested.You have just said it ;)Ive said it loads of times!

Yeah, I made my own Custom Error Pages for my site. Pure HTML and PHP. I've made custom pages for everything on my site.

Yes, -Sky- has and I love them. He once made me one that I could customize ect.
But yes hes the one for pure HTML and PHP
