  1. I really can't decide exactly my favorite...I've really enjoyed playing all the games that I've had so far.I really like Delta Force: Black Hawk Down - Team Sabre, created by Novalogic. Although they aren't the best game producers, the games are still quite fun.Before Delta Force: Black Hawk Down - Team Sabre was available my favorite game was either Delta Force II or Halo for the PC. Unfortunately, Delta Force II became overrun with cheaters and the problem with Halo is that you don't have the versatility of making and experiencing new maps. It's always the same ol' thing. So my current favorite I suppose would be Delta Force: Black Hawk Down - Team Sabre.
  2. This world has many magnificent places to go and see. My advice to everyone to at least travel twice in their lives, even a short car ride to the other side of your state, there are many things that you've never seen before and can be very fascinating.I very much enjoy Colorado. The Aspen area, particularly during the winter is magnificent. The winter activities are great too. Even in the summer it's very beautiful and peaceful there.I've also visited Alaska a couple times and seen many of its cities and it was simplly awesome. The glaciers are extremely neat as wellInternationally, there are many great places to go.The British Virgin Islands are a beautiful set of islands in the Caribbean. Great for sailing or simply visiting the many beaches.I would also have to suggest London. It's nice because there is no language barrier like some other European nations, but it is nothing really like the United States. It's architecture, history and simply the lifestyle of the people is really interesting.
  3. I agree with what everyone has said. Cheating and hacking simply ruin the game for other players who aren't cheating. I have heard that it can be fun and exciting to cheat and my advice to those people is to play against each other and compete to see who can make the most effective hack, but not to involve those who want a good honest game.Personally, I have recently gotten into game hacking. I'm teaming up with a group of other non-cheat players to hack different parts of the game that we play. Once we are able to get the different hacked codes, we will combine them into a program. This program will detect (when utilized) whether or not the values for a certain item (each hack edits a specific value for a specific purpose in the game) are being edited. This way, we can detect whether or not someone is in fact cheating. We hope to even take this a step further to perhaps make a program that will identify which player is fooling around with the game values. This program will lead to more effective cheater removal. If anyone has made such a program previously or might know something about it, please post a reply of PM me, your help will be greatly appreciated.
  4. There are no ads on your site forced on by http://forums.xisto.com/ . You may, however, set up your own ads if you like for your own revenue. But otherwise, the hosting that http://forums.xisto.com/ provides is ad-less!
  5. Hey, guys. Well, I've been looking around for a good game server host for my clan, because we'd like to have a dedicated server. It was mentioned that Xisto might get into game server hosting, but that turned out to be false. So anyways, if you could all mention some good hosts I'd really appreciate it. My main problem is finding one that serves my game, Delta Force: Black Hawk Down (made by Novalogic). Well, anyways, thanks again.
  6. Thank you for your continued comments. It's really been of great assistance. Does anyone by chance have a link to XMB, several of you have talked about it, but I'm not exactly sure where to locate it, because I think I might give it a try.
  7. In fact, I'm about to go and make one. Because I've seen quite a bit of support for phpbb, I think I will try that one first and if for some reason I am not satisfied with that, I will try a different type. Thank you all for helping and putting in your suggestions. I appreciate your help.
  8. You are wrong in saying that we are not as well off as we were ten years ago for many reasons. Bill Clinton, I feel, was one of our worst presidents regardless of what occurred in his personal life. The only reason why the economy actually went up during Clinton's term was because of the tax cuts initiated under Reagan and Bush Senior. What few realize is that it takes time for these cuts to take effect, so it was not because of Clinton that the economy had been going up during his term. The economy only went down near the beginning of Bush Junior's term as a result of Clinton's poor handling, not his own. Something else that few people know is that Osama Bin Laden had been captured and offered to Bill Clinton! All he had to do was accept him and put him on trial or anything, but instead he refused to take him and eventually Bin Laden was released from prison in Iran. And low and behold, who was behind 9/11? Bin Laden! You also said that our nation is losing popularity due to our "evil troops." I simply find that to be a poor statement simply because the soldiers are not evil, they are people like you and me simply following orders. What they do, or are required to do may be evil in your opinion, but saying that the people who voluntarily risk their lives to help protect our nation and our freedoms is wrong.
  9. Thank you for your comments, guys. I really appreciate them.Does anyone know which font was used to create those words "Xisto.com" on the mainpage of the site? I would like to know so that I can retype them and have them be clearer but it would also allow me to create a transparent button which seems to be in demand for sites with other color schemes. I've PMed OpaQue and am still waiting a reply, but in the meantime, if anyone can figure it out then please tell me. Thanks.
  10. I understand that it's not that hard to get more credits, but it just seems that it should add up to the same price regardless. I suppose it would make sense partially because it takes them some time to have to upgrade your account and stuff. I suppose it doesn't really matter, I personally probably won't upgrade my acccount, at least not for a while, I was simply pointing out that it didn't add up properly.
  11. I think I may go with phpbb, because they gave me a link on their site to freebb.com which seems to be free phpbb without the ads. From what you guys have said phpbb seems to be a strong choice, but Invision sounds nice too, except that you have to pay for it?Also, does InvisionFree have ads or is it ad-free, because if it's ad-free then I might look more into it as well.
  12. Would you be in support of the war if it were sanctioned by the UN? One of the reasons why it was voted down by nations particularly France, Germany and Russia, is because these nations benefitted from Iraq in more ways than one. There is evidence of this and that they were getting money from some sort of program established in Iraq (not sure if it was oil-related or not) that could be ruined should sanctions be brought upon Iraq and the decision made to enter Iraq with UN troops.
  13. Thanks for your help, now are Invision and InvisionFree run by the same group? Is the only difference ads?
  14. He didn't simply gas them, he used other chemical weapons and it was to my best understanding that such chemical weapons were considered WMD's. If not, then I stand corrected. On the same subject, didn't it strike you as odd that Saddam wouldn't let the U.N. Inspectors look everywhere they wanted? That in itself was enough reason to into the country in search of WMD's. I do agree that the loss of life in Iraq is awful and tragic, but I do not disagree with all of the actions that have taken place in Iraq as a result of the US's intervention.
  15. I have a quick question about account upgrading. I'm wondering if it only costs 20 credits to purchase the upgraded account. It seems like if you want to upgrade, you have to pay 30 credits, but to me, this makes no sense. The reason is that, if you collected credits and simply waited until you have the thirty credits then you could get the upgraded hosting, no problem. But if you have the ten credits and then try to upgrade its seems as if you will end up paying forty credits for what someone got for only thirty. I'm not sure if my assumption is right, that the upgrade costs the entire 30 credits, but it was my impression that it did. I'm simply stating that I think that this makes no sense and should be changed, because there's no reason why someone should be charged forty credits for what someone else got for only thirty. If I'm wrong or if I'm missing some sort of important reasoning, then please tell me, but otherwise, my big question is "Why?"
  16. I too would be interested in Free Game Server Hosting. I would be playing Delta Force: Black Hawk Down, a game created by Novalogic. But if this is available, how can we get it and if not, is it an option for the future?
  17. I'm looking for a forum for my gaming clan and I'm not familiar enough to know which would be my best choice. I also think it'd be difficult to go through each one and try to evaluate them all individually. So basically, I'm asking all of you to tell me which forum you like the most. I'm looking for something that's free and preferably adless (although I'm not sure how many of those exist). So please tell me everything you can about them and why you support the one that you do. Also, if you vote 'Other' remember to say what kind. Thanks alot for your help.
  18. Did anyone see at Best Buy and similar stores those lightsabers with fiberglass bulbs. They looked very cool. Apparently you could actually fight with them (hit them against each other) without it breaking. Those cost only about 100 dollars, so forget the 60,000 dollar version that doesn't even glow, lol , go for the Best Buy version. Much cheaper and a heck of a lot more fun.
  19. I too would like to see a Google Browser. I know there had been some rumors before of its existence but it never happened. Right now I'm using Avant Browser which runs off of IE, but I believe that Google could really make something happen with a browser, not necessarily based off of Firefox though.
  20. How would one go about starting their computer in Safe Mode? And how does Safe Mode differ from when the computer is running normally?
  21. You have made several valid points. You also pointed out the very important fact that if they US were to pull out of Iraq now, that would only lead to chaos and more turmoil in the country. In fact, it would not be at all impossible that they get another radical dictator should the US pull out. I do not agree with the statement that Bush altered intelligence to say that Saddam had WMD's. Saddam did in fact have them. If this is not true then how could he have used chemical weapons and other WMD's against the Kurds in northern Iraq. Did they simply disappear? Of course not, he had used them and was in possesion of them. Here is one of the many links about the slaughter of the Kurds by Saddam Hussein. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/
  22. I agree with what snlildude87 said. Although I do not have extensive experience with Flash or game production, I have played a number of them and seen my friends develop them. From my observations, it seems that you would need to be fairly fluent in animation to be able to use it for a game. So just start off with animation and then work up to more complicated works.

    Need Free Ftp Client

    I don't have a lot of experience with using FTP's but I started using CuteFTP and haven't needed to change yet. It's easy to use and makes sense. For the free demo check out their site: https://www.globalscape.com/cuteftp (The demo link is near the bottom of the page.)
  24. I would make it clearer, but as of now the text is as clear as it can get. The only way I can really get it to be clear is if I know what font they used to make their text, because right now, I'm just using the image of the text and that is slightly grainy. That is also the reason why I can't get a transparent picture for right now, because I haven't been able to "render" the text from its background, but as soon as I find out what font was used, I'll be well on my way.
  25. Well, I used the idea of the reflection and here is what I came up with. I hope this is what you guys meant. If you'd like me to change it or try a whole different look then by all means, please mention it. I think that this also might solve or at least help the problem raised by KuBi of color. This slight reflection adds a bit more text (which has color) and therefore makes it a bit more colorful. I think as of right now, it would work extremely well on any general site, particularly those that don't have white backgrounds, but at the same time it could give a smooth feel/appearance to those sites that are based around white. Again, thanks for the ideas and comments so far, but anything new you guys come up with is awesome.
