Thanks for the suggestions contactskn - I've already tried out most of them though

I found this on their official site: The game size is around 160MB if I'm not wrong, so burning to a CD isn't practical and not even necessary I like this game for the fact that it has a Linux version included. Not many developers do that! I still have to try it out though...

I think Sega's out for good. They're concentrating more on the games now rather than on consoles and frankly, that's a good thing. They're better at making games and they should stick to it. Okay, so even if they do come out with such a console, unless the games are really good no one would get them - I mean, most of today's games are available for all consoles, and the games which are attached to a particular console (Halo, for example) have to be really good in order to maintain their popularity. In the case of a Sega console, I don't see that happening any soon

I feel that the pace at which T17 is going right now is just about right. Imagine if we suddenly got a lot of new members and all of them demanded hosting at once - that would be too much for the servers and would ultimately affect us all. The rate at which new members are coming in right now seems just right for the good of the whole community and I feel we should just move along for now. There are some changes required over all, but as you said, in the coming 3 years, the admin/staff have to decide which ones to implement. For me, t17 is cool right now - I would definitely say yes to some changes in the future, but wouldn't want them to be too hurried.

well in some cases redirects are essential, aren't they? Maybe those cases don't apply here but if properly used redirects are really helpful. @Nameless_ I thought you were just adding the scamproof domain as your add-on domain - didn't realize you were trying to redirect it to a particular folder again. (it says so in the title but maybe I'm blind ) well it does seem to work now - I haven't seen the site in detail yet - just visited the home page - will do so in the morning. Keep up the good work!

OpaQue pointed out correctly that simply having more support staff won't solve the problem, because each and every member of the support team needs to be intelligent and skilled enough to solve the issues that our members run into. And I know most people who are skilled won't readily take up a job like this because they may be having more opportunities elsewhere. But anyway let us be a little patient about this - the current team is working really hard to solve the problems and only a few take a lot of time to get solved and that too if the member isn't able to explain the problem clearly to the support staff.

Er...his name is Nikhil - Nik's just a nickname!

Once I met a lady from the US who was visiting India for the first time, and she said that in Spain the driving is really outrageous and they simply whizz through everything. And here I was thinking only Indian drives are too carefree!

Thanks for the link rmlls - I'll check it out and report back if it works

Well my friend once tried installing SP3 and he too wanted to install Visual Studio but remained unsuccessful. I think the best solution would be to go back to SP2 (try a different CD) or choose Windows 7 - both worked for me in the past

Wow Baburaj thanks for clearing up a lot of things I gave those replies based on limited knowledge but you seem to be a music enthusiast - it was good reading your lengthy reply. Hope to see you someday on the forums...

That's one cool looking site A good job done and just some minor glitches as mentioned above so won't be repeating those again. I would love to learn to design such sites someday....anyway, thanks for the link this one's really useful!

I downloaded a clone sometime back and it wasn't a really exhilarating experience at all. Well hope this online one proves to be good..

congrats on making the move - it's a good name after all :)After you add scamproof as an add-on domain in your cPanel (takes only a minute to do so), it will get it's own folder and if I'm not wrong, you can access it in multiple ways: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ http://www.sexyxxx.com/ http://www.webcam.net/ Now that's convenient

I used support 6-7 times over six months and most of the times only Nikhil Patil was the one who replied. And the response was timely and supportive, just as it was meant to be. But I did begin to wonder about the size of the support team because everytime only one guy replied Well in the end it's OpaQue's decision to choose to hire more support staff, but even if he does, it'll take a lot of time to train them and make them efficient

Well on some aspects they should listen to what the community says and try to implement it - Empathy isn't a popular choice for the default client, but I think they included it based on this support thingy?

Wow yet another one! I agree with rvalkass that we shouldn't get too involved with social networking sites. But then some of our friends may get disappointed if we don't accept their requests. So what I did is i joined Facebook and Orkut, on which most of my friends are, but I never put anything on my profile - no photos, no videos, no status updates, nothing! I only communicate with my friends when required and just leave it at that. This way no outsider can find out about me and the same time my friends also will have my company. I think this is the ideal solution and is safe networking

I stopped at SP2 and then moved on to Ubuntu, but a lot of people gave some negative reviews about SP3 and that was enough to make me stay away from it! I think the debacle for MS started from SP3. First that and then Vista......well things look to improve with 7, but let's not go away from the topic.@nirmaldaniel: I actually had problems installing Visual Studio in SP2 I couldn't install it at all until I got the Windows 7 RC. I don't know why that happened though...

Well the fact remains that I need to use MS tools for some of my college work, so this is a blessing in disguise, but I would definitely prefer to use Linux tools over MS anyday, even if MS decided to go open-source someday!

I don't know why I'm interested in mail clients now but i want to try using Thunderbird for a while and see if it's good or not. However I don't want to use my regular gmail account for that, and yahoo doesn't allow free users to use mail clients. So my only option is to use my google apps account (for one of my domains). But how do I configure the settings for this? I'm confused by all the server settings that it mentions Any help?

You have ATM charges? they were removed here some time ago - now there are no charges for withdrawing from any bank's atm - the nasty limits still remain though

Hmm so no fans of Internet banking yet? There are supporters for ATMs, though! well it seems not everyone has embraced the no-going-to-bank concept yet. It's still going to take a while, I guess

Welcome LoZtLord, to the Xisto forums. I see that you haven't made any new posts yet, so better get started to bring in a lot of myCENTs! You will have to make more than five posts to activate your myCENTs counter and after that it just keeps ticking with every post you make. The others have already pointed out the important threads you should read so I'm not going to give them again - just want to say: Have a good time!

Thanks for clearing that one - I think it's error 17 - saw that quite a number of times...
