It's not as much commercialism as it is, as I stated, the weakening of the religious meaning to the day. Friend of mine is a Priest, and even agreed with me on a few points I had before. My grandparents went to church everyday. We're highly religious, and still are. My mom went to church all the time as a young child, but less and less as she got older. Me, I have never been to church, and only stepped foot inside of one once in my life. But they still celebrate easter (We went over there today) even though me and my brother's don't have much meaning for it, we eat dinner and such with them. And such that tradition will continue, as I will do with my children with my parents, and possibly grandparents and so forth. It'll slowly lose the meaning, but it'll still be a tradition to sit down on easter and have a big family meal. Thanksgiving is truly the same way. Some people give thanks, most others just use it as a reason to get together and have a big dinner together. Not to be thankful for everything they have, even though being together and with their love ones they may think it quietly. It's just become a tradition amongst families. Christmas was to celebrate the birth of christ, instead everyone gives presents. It was a tradition started many years ago, and has continued on and on. I knew it was the birth of christ when I was younger, but I didn't know christ was the son of god til I was maybe 10 or 11? So to me it was celebrating the birth of some old king (songs say the newborn king), and we for some reason celebrated it by giving out gifts. !@#$%^&*, religion itself is a tradition. It's stories and teachings passed from 1 generation to the next on their beliefs of how people we're put on this earth. So don't be so !@#$%^&* bitter about people celebrating their traditions, cause I can just as easily say your tradition is dumb and pointless, as it is to me, but instead I respect it, as you should mine.

People just wish each other a happy easter, because, well it's easter. It's a holiday. It's like wishing someone a happy friday, except it's Easter. Christianity has become weak, not trying to start a huge religious battle or nothin, but it truly has. Most people don't know what the christian holidays are really about anymore, yet they just celebrate them because it's what families have done for hundreds of years. It's just like what keeps most religion alive; the passing of traditions from one generation to another. All that said... Happy Easter.

the problem is, this forum has basically gone to the !@#$%^&*hole with the avg IQ of it's posters being at the level of a 9yr old. Just somewhere we can send all of their useless crap to be posted on. I could however just turn off new topic posting in spamnation, and make it the place where spam/pointless/flame threads just go to die. Maybe that could be an idea?

I'm not the skin guy, but i'll look into it.

DONE

Try a different name. Your name is probably taken, especially if your trying to login as Celtic, that for sure is gone.

DoCk would be the man in charge of the server. So need to bring it up to him.

already talked to on aim

Re-Added Bro

Fixed.

Get me their IP. I'll block em from the server.

moved to tech support.

Uh huh... Moved to Admins Office

Just another case of a few ruining it for many.

I still don't like Bush, it's just there is some things I agree he had no part in and gets the blame for. It's just the personal family issues that make me still hold a grudge on him.

Yes, because you know I have a whole stock pile of nukes in my backyard that I sell like christmas trees. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Watch Uncle Suddam sometime. We helped him rise to the top, and then gave him weapons to wage war on Iran. Rather then us doing it and having the blood on our hands, we decided to let someone else take the blame and do it for us. It was around the time that Suddam's family began doing crazy things that he began losing it. His brother-in-laws and one of his uncles (or cousins, can't remember) were the ones that began all the killing and torchering. Suddam just never tried to stop or fix it, !@#$%^&*, never had the time with the US always on his back, so he ended up with the blame of it. Suddam just kind of lost it cause his entire family basically began turning on him, and even went as far as locking his own wife away. Just like Bush, anything other people do, even if you have no part in it, you end up with the full blame of. But we just can't see that from another point of view until we take our heads out of our !@#$%^&*es and really think about it.

xxxxxxxxxx's would be Swift's. lol.

Well, they need to be a bit more stickier then.

i have the same problem, except there is like 3 different numbers. Any help?

Since the last one got kind of screwed up.

True That. Fixed.

It's a given fact, most newbs copy their favorite zone. Think bout it, if EG or TW Announced they were going ASSS, then so would a lot of smaller zones just so they could say they use the same thing as them. But if they hear that EG and TW won't use it cause it can't support them, then it will make some people look less upon it, and turn away from it. I'm not saying it'll make or break it, I'm just saying it will decide which will become to more dominant server software. The more dominant one will obviously get more support from client updates and other software.

Yes, but if it can't handle a large zone, it will chase most newbs away from using it, and we all know who creates 90% of new zones.

Because it keeps that MacID and IP net-banned. Doesn't mean he still has it, but it's just the principal of it all. Tombstone is an EX-SysOp / Current SMod in EG, when he had it, he might of just banfreed himself. That's wrong. A zone may banfree anyone locally they want. So it was someone in the zone who lifted it, not a billing op. Only Swift, GS, Plat, BD, or Priit would have access to go into another zone and lift it, and I do not see them doing that. I have many names I can't go on, but that's life. Why do you want to play as Sage386? I see no point in it really. Maybe not expecting, but hoping.

Extreme Games is preparing to do a day trial in the next couple of months, maybe not even that. Was talking to Junky about it. So I think that will prove or break the chance of ASSS becoming the dominant server.
