Not really. There are certain animes for children and certain for teenagers and others for adults. The story lines can get rather matured, depending on the age group it is targeted for. Maybe the first impression you get is that they are cartoons for kids, but once you start to appriciate it and get to know it, you'll think in a different way.

ya..its abit too simple.Your words are not striking enough too. You should do something to make your words(your nickname in this case) stand out form the background.Your border is a little to thick and your sig shape should be more rectangle.

Good one there.I would like to add that usually the only reason the admin needs your password is when he need to modify your account or troubleshoot it.So far, admin has never asked me for my cpanel or forum password although I have been with Xisto for quite some time already.admin usually won't ask you for your account password unless you approach him about something like say maybe something wrong has gone wrong withy our account and you approached him to help you. Other than that, he won't ask you for it.Yes, properly structured and planned 'social engineering' attacks can be seem very real. Thousands of people have fallen for it before on bigger issues such as credit card passwords. These people are generally wealthy adults who are very smart. And yet, they fall for these tricks. Don't look down on these atackers. They are smarter than you think!

Over here its Singapore $ 0.05 to send an SMS, which is 5 singapore cents...I think it smore or less standardized throughout the world...anyway, SMS are quite common and phone operators are waiting to make money....

Not to be a wet blanket but yeah, CZ is not really worth buying. The graphics are good but there is a free community upgrade known as CS Realism update. I tihnk its about 50 megs. Its really cool and it upgrades lots of stuff such as the graphics and sounds.Although CZ may be interesting to play, it really is not worth spending money. My advice is that you guys hold on to your wallets and wait for CS:source to come out.

There has already been a thread about this: http://forums.xisto.com/topic/111-tv-tuner-card/ Please look around the forum before posting. This forum is quite big so it is highly possible that what you want to post aobut has already be posted. THREAD CLOSED

You probably spoilt the disk with all that. Basically from what I read from your post is that it is a hardware failure. The motors don't kick in. This usually means that the hard disk is getting old or something. However, the data inside is usually safe. You could try something like this, but its extremely risky and i shall not take any responsibility whatsoever.... You could buy the exact same hard disk. So now the new hard disk we shall call it A and the one that died down on you B. You can try to open B up and take out the discs and placing them in B, exactly where it should be. This is just a suggestion, and I think you should understand what I mean. Anyway, its really risky...

You guys are getting confused between the different classifications of games. Starcraft is an RTS.Counter-Strike is a FPSDiablo 2 is a RPGIf you are looking for a nice action game, you should try Grand Theft Auto : Vice City.If you want something with a cross of RPG, action and adventure, you should try Quest for Glory 5Anyway, it really depends on what you like and your hardware limitations.By the way, this thread is too full of spam. Watch out spammers!

Thread Closed. This discussion is getting no where. Onizuka, don't double post.The rest of the guys, the question is:How realistc became the new games compares to 3D solutions? And I don't understand your question at all. anyway, 'realistic' is spelt wrongly.Please put more effort in your post.

No problem.I can see that a fair bit of effort has been placed in creating the banners. However, there is still lots of room for improvement.The lettering font should be slightly more formal and the colour used should be more contrasting with the background. With the top part of the words almost white, it is displeasing to the eyes. You should either try putting dark orange or use total white for the first one, and doing away with the black at the bottem and reduce the shadow effect. For both banners, the background makes it look like a clan banner. You should try to use a single, uniform colour or you can try using 2(or maybe up to 4, depending on how many colours you are comfortable with and how it turns out in the end) colours mixed with a graphical effect. A picture as a background could also do the job. You should also re-think the colour scheme for both banners.However, it really depends on what is your aim of the banner and how it turns out. What is written here may not apply to you. You should only take this post as a guideline to improve. One man's meat is another's poison. But what I have written here is what I feel applies generally to most situations.-Shackman

I can't see the image too. It is probably because you linked the image wrongly. If all fails, use image hosting. http://www.imageshack.us/ after you upload the image, copy and paste the code there in your post.

I like your idea. admin, you should consider implementing this, although I know it may be confusing to update everthing so often. I think you should give a bandwidth to space ratio at 30:1 respectively. That's quite reasonable. However, I like the 4th package, which is 150 MB and 3 GB BW. Its quite good. IF you do plan to have a 5th plan, you could probably consider having 200 MB space and 5 GB bandwidth. Just my opinion. Anyway, admin still has the final say.

MSN messenger is good and I would prefer it to any other messengers. I have not tried AIM yet but i have used Yahoo messenger before. Yahoo messenger is quite impressive too. I like the feature of being able to send a message to an offline contact and the contact will recieve your message when he comes online.However, MSN is very simple and can be very functional is you know how to use it. It has a clean user interface, not like Yahoo messenger whose interface is very cluttered.Another thing I like aobut Yahoo is that the Yahoo e-mail inbox size is 50 times more than Hotmail

I can agree that they break our hearts and hurt our pride unconsiously. They think they are 'cute' but in fact they do things that break our hearts.I am not really complaining but some girls are really too much. They are very bossy and feel that they are masters. Some even go to the extend of beating boys. Boys can be prosecuted if they hit girls in Singapore here so we can't really do anything about it. The worst things are that they take your identification cards or other stuff and put it in their breast pocket... omg...that's the worst thing I have seen...Not girls are bad though. I have met some girls who are really kind and gentle. However, these girls are much sought after and can be sometimes very fickle in their relationships.

$70 ?? That is really cheap. What currency is that in? US dollars? In Singapore here a 120 gb HDD costs about 120 to 150 SG$. By the way, what brand is it? Is it a generic one or from someone like Maxtor or Seagate? I haven't caught Haibane Renmei. However, I just finished Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien. It was really smashing. I enjoyed every bit of it. I also watched Onegai Teacher recently. I wrote a review about it in my forum. Go check it out. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ The middle part is the anime section.

What the heck is this about?Please be more specific and don't post just to gain points. Post only when there is an opinion you would like to voice. Please do away with all these 'unclear' posts. Give more details. People may not understand it as you do so try to be more explicit.THREAD LOCKED

I have https://www.americasarmy.com/ as my homepage. I don't want to use my forum, http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ as a homepage to save bandwidth. Anyway, more than often, I don't usually look at the homepage. I just open up the browser and type the URL I want to go to and that's about it.

I haven't tried .co.nr yet but uni.cc is good.So far I have not have any problems with them yet. However, DNS takes quite awhile to propagate. UNI.CC is quite good. It also easy to remember too.:UNI.CCSee? Its quite easy to remember. Anyway, its free and the features are quite good.

The url to my site is http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ and the url to download skin_topic.php is http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ ... This is line 240: Can someone please help me? I think I know what's the error. I think its because you added a mod/hack or something like that. Because you are using a theme other than the default one, your mod does not read it and thus cannot render images under your new theme. You will have to manually configure the mod/hack to work with your theme. Either this, or your theme is not installed properly. It is also possible that the theme was not properly made. Anyway, your forum theme(stlye) is quite queer. Forgive my bluntness, but do consider changing the theme.

Thanks alot for the pointers. By the way, how did you know I was from south-east asia? I do agree that some ugly fights do break out and people sometime get upset. However, as an administrator of the forum...I still feel honoured that they used my broad to quarrel! Joking joking. But anyway, what do you think keeps people coming back to a forum? Do you guys have any personal experiences you may like to share? From a persoanl perspective, I don't think its really much on the quality of articles. Probably its like me coming back to Xisto because I know that its constantly ever changing and new stuff can be found often. However, there are lots of forums like Xisto too, which are very active, but why do I not feel a pull to them? There are also forums that have very interesting articles but after visiting once, I usually don't return. Anyone cares to share?

Ermm....microsoft c++ visual studio is a commercial C++ compiler. I know its really ver ygood but I don't have the money.If you are thinking about pirates...its hard to get any in Singapore. Devc++ is not really what I am looking for. However, it does make coding easier because it has a better interface than notepad. If you guys do find more software that compiles C++ source codes which are free and almost equivelent to microsoft c++ visual studio, do post here. Thanks

I have 2 hard disks. 1 40 GB and another form my old computer, 3.4 GB.By the way, how do you even attach 5 hard disks? I thought the maximum is 2? Of course, exteral hard drives are another thing but for internal ones there can only be master and slave.Unless, you can have more than 1 slave?Please tell me aobut it. My HDD is barely holding out...I need to add a new HDD...!

It depends on what type of Operating System you are running too. Some digital cameras can't run on certain operating systems.If you are looking for something that takes photos for fun or jsut want to explore the digital camera world., I suggest you get a cheap generic digital camera from your neighbourhood computer hardware store. In Singapore, this usually costs around SGD$15 to SGD$30. From your post, I can infer that you have never owned a digital camera before? Or you are not too 'into' the world of digital cameras? You should do some research on your needs (such as classy designs) and your wants(certain functions that yo umay need) to add to your critera list. You should make a critera list before you go shopping.Finally, don't believe the salesperson 100%. He may not be wrong, but most sales people tend to 'tell you the good and hide the bad'. Make sure you do alot alot of research, by going into digital camera forums, asking them aobut it, ask your friends, go to the company's website....-Shackman

I think censorship hinders creativity. Lots of books are being censored. I mean, they should at least give people the choice to buy the 'censored' or the 'uncencored' version. For the 'uncensored' version, they sohuld warn what type of content is to be expected. I think that would be okay.However, it responsible for the society to disallow material children can't handle. Its not too healthy...I feel that we should be given a choice if we can to see the 'censored' or 'uncensored' version, be it books, movies and so on...

Poor admin. It must be a bad experience....Don't blame you anyway. I know how hard and stressful it can get when it comes to hack/modding forum scripts. You have to do everything in precision and if you screw up anything...its gonna be hell.
