  1. I don't think so hahaThe other day i was talking to this austrailian guy. he said appearently everyone gets laid aat around the age of 15,16 and everyones freindly..people are very open minded about sex and there are parties everyweekend :l and appearntly only 10% of the population goes to post secondaryschool haha


  2. I think there's a drop in the rate of postings because most people have piled up enough myCENTs to last them for a while so they're not posting with the same speed and zeal that they did when they joined the forum. And in the case of new members, well they do try to keep up the posting rate but most of them fall back sooner or later. But I'm not worried because we'll always have enough new members to keep the forum active and the active old members are a handful too. So don't worry about the rate of posting :)

    I don't think so
    If you look at the amount of members we have and compare it against the average number of members online the ratio is like 1:10000000
    barely anyone comes on the forum :/
    if you wanna see a real active forum go to places like mpc forum or gamerzplanet

    now those are active

    Xisto however is not
    unfortunately

  3. The survival of the human race will ultimately depend on us colonising space in one way or the other...
    The dinosaur were wiped out and so could we. Whether it was diseases, asteroid strikes or another catastrophe, what killed them could and probably would kill us too. On top of natural disaster, there is the fact that the human race can't seem to be able to stop fighting among itself. If Nature doesn't get rid of us, we would surely do the job for Her...

    Space, and the possibilities that are out there, is the only way mankind will survive.

    Then again, I'm not convinced that mankind should survive...


    Colonizing space?? That's a loong loong time from now you know?

    Yeah, I honestly think that the human race would probably be wiped out by a disease, asteroids, or global warming, or by ourselves before we even get to colonize space.

  4. artiseer has MANY MANY limits..For if you look at the general layouts artiseer offeres you'll notice that it's all a box with or without rounded corners sitting in the center of the screen. and every page that artiseer generates is using the same layout so you can't really have a different layout for different pageson the plus side it does save alot time


  5. Why you don't believe in me? They lie. Make your own website and start selling places for banners instead to get emails full with spam/scam and just destroy your email without earning nothing.You waste everything...Other way to earn money with is the best way to earn is to make very good website and promote it.After very much visitors sell it.There are lots of ways to build business.You say that you earn 10 cents per email.Can we have deal,if you get 100 cents from 10 emails for 2 weeks,i will give you 1000 cents :) This is just wasting time i think.And in your topic instead of saying that they send ads,say that they are spamming

    Well, in order to make money with your own website ; you need a site with lots of traffic.. and really I have no idea what kind of website could get alot of traffic :/

  6. Posted ImageIt is important for the human race to spread out into space for the survival of the species. Life on Earth is at the ever-increasing risk of being wiped out by a disaster, such as sudden global warming, nuclear war, a genetically engineered virus or other dangers we have not yet thought of.

    These are from the words of the world-renowned scientist Stephen Hawking.

     

    But do the risks of space trully out weigh the risks of our home?

    So much can happen out their. There is Space Debris, a result of human activity in Space, it is one of the greatest dangers. Previous missions have left behind great amount of debris. There are an estimated 10,000 man-made objects larger that 10 cm in orbit and probably tens of millions of fragments less than 1 cm. the risk of collision is high. Collision with such debris could be extremely damaging leading to dire consequences.

     

    Then if you manage to pilot your way through all that junk, their is much more to worry about past earths orbit.

     

    Now you must worry about solar and cosmic radiation, this could kill everyone in an unshielded craft. Then their are micrometeorites (small bits of rock and dust) this might puncture a spacecraft hull or an astronaut’s pressure suit. Loss of air is fatal in the vacuum of Space and serious accidents might happen as a result of this.

     

    All these could damage or destroy the space craft, or cause death to the astronauts. But what about smaller, more overlooked effects.

     

    Astronauts that returns from space shuttle missions have experienced temporary, or sometimes, permanent hearing loss, even after a weeklong mission. Both temporary and permanent hearing loss has been documented as a result of long term spaceflights. The noise level may be up to 75 decibels in the space station.

     

    Then there are the Psychological Effects of being in space.

    Traveling with a small crew isolated from the rest of the world for long periods of time often causes heightened anxiety, boredom, depression, loneliness, excessive fear of danger, and homesickness. Manned missions require crews to spend large amounts of time in close proximity. Because space is extremely limited aboard a spacecraft, privacy is often unavailable. Longer missions, such as to Mars, take roughly six months just to get there. During long missions, crews become easily irritated and often withdraw. As a result, tension between crewmates often builds, and the risk of miscommunication and other mishaps occurring increases

     

    Although problems between the crew may not occur, the feeling of isolation from the rest of Earth may be detrimental to the immune system. Research has shown that the stress of isolation may damage the body’s ability to fight infectious disease. Studies in Antarctica indicate that those isolated individuals have a decline in T-cells, the immune system's "killer cells". In a small capsule high in space, hypochondria becomes more common, as astronauts have felt they were suffering from diseases that doctors could not diagnose.

     

    Although the psychological effects of space travel are often not considered an eminent danger in space travel, its presence is very evident in some cases and should not be neglected.

     

    This is just a taste of the risks associated with space travel.

     

    But are these risks really worth it?

    As President Kennedy once said, space travel is the "most hazardous and dangerous and greatest adventure on which man has ever embarked." No flight into space is ordinary, only the functions and goals of those flights have become ordinary. Space travel has the ability to transform nations, to capture the hearts of the entire world, to demonstrate unparalleled scientific achievement, and to carry our dreams farther than the eye can see.

     

    Not only does space travel capture the hearts of the entire world. It comes with technological break troughs that were only a tinkle in a scientist eye at the time, because with challenges, brings new technical advancement.

     

    If we had never had the will to launch man into space, we would never have discovered it, much of the daily things, such as satellite TV for example, would not be in existence.

     

    Then there is the possibility of colonies far away from our planet.

    A permanent human colony on the moon would represent a significant step in human development for example.

     

    There are possible benefits aswell that would help us, and our planet.

    There's the issue of resources. We as a greedy, spoiled, society. We mine resources to the point were the earth will eventually be barren of materials. We take so much, that there is not enough time for the earth to renew the resources we take. This brings me to my last benefit of space travel, and that is mining in space. In 2004, the world production of iron ore exceeded 1,000 million metric tons. In comparison, a comparatively small M-type asteroid with a mean diameter of 1 km could contain more than 2,000 million metric tons of iron-nickel ore, or two to three times the annual production for 2004. The asteroid 16 Psyche is believed to contain 1.7?1019 kg of iron-nickel, which could supply the 2004 world production requirement for several million years.

     

    Although this may sound like an ambitious Sci Fi future, this would be possible. We have proven there is nothing us as a species can't do if we put our minds to it. Once again, this is only small taste of the benefits we have reeked as a society because of space travel. Although the risks are evenly balanced with the benefits, but then again, is anything without risk?

     

    Now discuss, or share with us some more insight.

     

    Please try and stay away from one liner responses. I'm not just interested in knowing yes or no, but also why. Posted Image
