Yeah I hear you Japo. Running a forum also takes a lot work and constant nurturing and guidance. Really a lot effort and work for someone who has a personal life outside of it. Most people on FM have their own forums, so if their forum becomes in active or they dont think they can keep up with anymore, a lot of people will leave the support forum as well which is fine. A bunch of others may take a few years leave from forums and return at a later time, either by choice, or life simply doesnt allow for it. That happened to me for awhile as well. Glad to be back though after that 2 or 3 year leave.


I just try and help other people grow their forum and learn their way around the ACP, so that way they can better take care of their forum and be indpendent with it. That is all I try and do, I can fix 90% of most issues on my own, know my around the ACP, but what good is that knowledge if it is not being shared with others?

@VicmxD
I think 480p would work pretty well already but even downloading that takes time and it puts on quite a strain the Internet speed for the whole family.
I've heard about the Game of Thrones series but am less interested in it cause of how the people around me have described it, saying that they like how the fights are and everything. But that's exactly what I don't enjoy as much, action. I dunno why I'm really tired of action-packed... stuff, particularly from the media. And I'm also influenced by the sense that its popularity grew way to fast in a short amount of time, which makes me even less interested (I'm really turned off by things if they become way too popular in a short amount of time, I don't know why).
Was just going to start on some Lovecraft horrors, for two reasons: one's that I've heard about things like the Cthulhu (from Terraria and some other place I can't recall), and two of how Haiyore! Nyaruko-san has jokingly took characters from the story as their own characters, with their own spin.

@brandon_g
There are a lot of times when a forum is simply a place where people of common interest gathers, instead of being somewhere where you visit to meet people, and when that interest is a well-celebrated one (and of course, including all other factors like forum mods and other members), the forum will have a lot of potential to actually flourish. At that time, it'll prompt the admins to actually seek for as much support as they can (a forum as quiet as ours here won't need as much support, cause what we need is actually content).

There are quite some limitations to Forumotion, which sooner or later, some forums will want to have the things that FM isn't able to provide, and thus some people will leave FM this way. Another way of leaving is, as you mentioned, their forum dies away and they are busy with their own lives. One more way is what I mentioned earlier, that the admins did not encounter the first two here, but decided on their own that they wish to move on with their lives, to seek the things outside of their comfort zone.

And it's a good notion that you have there, sharing what you know with others. Knowledge is precious that way, cause it must first be learnt by someone before it can be passed on.

Yes indeed!


Your right forumotion does have limitations, but it is a free service, for being a free service, the limitations are actually quite large and big. Whe there things I dont like about FM and never will (such as taking years and years to implement a small number of user suggestions... The suggestions subforum is 12 pages long... 12 pages!), I must admit though that as far as free service goes, it is a good service.


As for the sites like this one and mine not needing as much support, its not even about the activity even, its that both our sites are very lucky to have admins that know their way around the ACP, know what their doing and can fix almost any problems encountered by themselves. Our forums are very lucky to have such experienced and skilled admins, your site has you Japo, your awesome :D. My site has me that is als very skilled, experienced and smart as well.


Granted admins who are not as experienced and good, that are new, are not bad admins, they are new, being an admin is a hard job, it takes time to learn and master. Luckily for both of us (atleast for me) this is not our first time as an admin, that we have had leaves of absences, etc, but it was easier to relearn the ways of the ACP. We were new at one time though, just like most of the folks on the support forum, it took awhile to get as good and experienced as we are now, some of it was trial and error, atleast for me. Thats why I do what I do, so that it may be atleast (hopefully) a little easier for a new admin to learn, so they can learn from someone who already made the rookie mistakes awhile ago, so that way they dont have to make them. That is why I do what I do on the support forum, thats why I help. :D

alright, it's good to have old experienced people to count on when something happens; I don't know anything solid about forums or programming but I would be one that will look and experiment for the answer before asking for help XP, it's easier faster indeed to learn through others (and when one's stuck it can be the only way to advance further), but I believe it's good too to test yourself and your skills for discovering and unveiling the answer, so to learn to stand up for yourself, I think the people who ask too frequently and on not so complicated matters, mostly are used to be given the things easily, doesn't look the answers for their own questions nor have curiosity to step further from their circle of known stuff, still it doesn't have to be like that on most people and I can't say it's wrong, it's just a little opinion of mine regarding some questioners in general, not referring to the inquisitive kind of people whom really are interested and will search for their answers when there is nothing more they can take from the people they are inquiring.

Just to enter the conversation in some way guys XP

And japo, well I read the books of the game of thrones series before the series were even planned, it wasn't that popular, I would say it was a hidden gem, it was kinda known for the readers of the fantasy genre, I can assure is good and it's not that is all action packed, I love is the lots of battles of wit, the strategies and tactics the characters take for fulfilling their wishes, or trying to discover them on our own, and I was always in awe wondering what would happen next, and the characters are always put on defying situations (of course there are "tranquil" ones) in which they don't have much in favor and don't seem capable of succeeding, and lots don't, just defending the book, not saying that you should read it, I wouldn't say it's a must read if you don't like the genre, setting of narrative mechanics.

And I have the lovecraft stories waiting to be read, i haven't but I will soon enough, indeed they seem an interesting bunch and there is people I think, that could have a cult of them.

Paving the way for the young'uns, eh? I get what you mean there @brandon_g, both for the thing that FM is a free service (and yes I don't deny that they are giving pretty good service for the free users) and the intention of the establishment of the support forum. There are still people like us who don't mind bumping into some walls as we try to learn something, it's good in some way, but some people would want to avoid all those things as they'll see it more as a waste of time (perhaps). Some people choose not to be inquisitive, and they're not wrong to do so, cause even though I'm an inquisitive person, I find that there's no end to the source of knowledge. These people can use their time to actually do something else, rather than spinning their heads around (some people don't like this either). So summing it up, you can say we're doing a favor in many different senses even by just doing one thing. I was at the support forum helping people around as well, but that's about 5 years ago now (I just realized that it has been that long). (part of this reply is for @VicmxD as well )

Hmm... Vic, I was given the impression of some gore in the story, which is something that I don't really enjoy. But I'll try giving the first book a shot and see how it may kick off with me

Edit: Am thinking if the text here can be a bit hard to read when there's a lot of text. Any suggestions on what to do? I'm trying out some line-height here (it's at 18px now)

Yep, no end to the source of knowledge, we are only left to decide on what to do or not to do with our time and what kind of knowledge to acquire; and talking about the book, it isn't gore focused, it has some since it involves battles, deaths, the fragility of the human body, quoting a great character of a game hk-47 we are a bunch of meatbags XD, but it isn't over descriptive on that, and another warning would be incest (of little importance to say the truth, it adds some interesting discussions), and it's the least of worries XD, there are some sex scenes, it isn't focused too much, I would say it brings to the ground the character to their mortal flesh, makes you wonder about morality, religion (kinda revolves around it too as a social factor), difference in cultures and epochs, human behavior, and I don't remember quite right, but I'm sure the crudeness of war shows some rape in some moment, but it's rare and not detailed, of course the thinking part is ours, the book just brings it's content and issues for some debate, for me it's quite entertaining, and even if it seems I'm throwing dirt on the book, I just say I'm trying to tell the stuff it has to offer "good and bad", through that warning, the first series of books are soft, but it will show what the rest of the series has to offer in content and narrative, if you still are going to try it go ahead, and enjoy it for what it's XP.

and regarding the text, I really don't know what to say, I have gotten accustomed and haven't had a complain as far as I remember, so what do you feel is off and makes it difficult to read?, the font we are using?, the size and width of the letters and how it combines with the color of the font and the background color?, the distance between words, letters and lines? it may be small or slim but it's ok, with the distances of the words one can clearly differentiate one word from another, and the letters are recognizable sdsd dsdasd dsadsd we are using arial if Im not wrong (or maybe it appears as arial to me), and distance between lines seems enough, but that is just me, I'm incapable of imagining how it could be better, and if it's just me, I would be a little speck on the bunch, but feel free of doing what you want to do if you feel better that way, and we can say if it improved something.

If you have modified the line height I don't know how to compare if the other posts have been modified along with it (or you haven't modified the height yet), hum, maybe I'm too outside-far of what you meant and I did another lengthy post, well, see ya!. I will help with what I can even if I don't know too much about the issue.

Amen to that Japorized! :D

Hmm... Web fonts shouldn't be affected even if you don't have the font downloaded in your system, so long that your browser can recognize them. I'm using Helvetica Neue actually. I love the font, use it anywhere I can sometimes. And yes it's the height of the lines that I've changed. It's wider now, so there should be more free space for each line, on its top and bottom. It was too packed previously, like it's all squished together, like hamburger. And once I make one edit from my source, it changes the entire layout, throughout the forum, so old post and new post will get affected.

As for the book, I may need the some patience and quiet to read it then. I don't think I can calmly read this sort of book when I may get interrupted.

What book are you reading Japorized?

Oh!, hello japorized, =P, well, the line height is comfortable indeed, enjoy the book if you read it (honestly it brought me out of a melancholic state when I was 15, my mom send it to me as a gift and I read it when I was kinda bashing me [figuratively] and taking blame of a bad situation of mine, some sad vacations, and instead of losing my time thinking negative, sad stuff, I took the book and had days of enthralled enjoyment XP, one of the reasons why I hold dear the book, just a little story of mine), and now viewing what I wrote earlier, a great video-game that I really recommend (you should be able to play it on your laptop maybe), is an rpg Knights of the old republic (star wars!), from where I quoted the character HK-47, an old game, but great, for its story, gameplay, the force! and its sequel doesn't fall back, sith lords, it was relaunched just nearly a month ago, and a group of modders reestablished all the cut content! (because of time issues with the delivery), also I'm awaiting for Soma that finally comes out this month .

Hum, I don't have Helvetica neue in here, so I don't know how it is; well, have a good week Japo and Bran =P, rest, read and kick around, have fun, see you around guys.

I'm currently reading two books, one an unofficially translated Japanese light novel called My Teen Romantic Comedy is Wrong as I Expected (known as Yahari Ore no Seishun Rabu Kome wa Machigateiru in Japanese), and the other one is The Theory of Interest (no, a not fiction but about methods of calculating interest, as in interest that we encounter in financial sectors). The former's a pretty good read despite its title, and the latter, well, just me trying to learn something on my own since I'm not in a school anymore. I'm reading em pretty slowly, since I'm taking a part-time job now, and there are 11 volumes for the light novel (currently) while the book on interest will take me a while to absorb.

And oh, I was thinking of playing some PC games cause I've been out of touch for a while (there's only one game that I'm quite seriously into now and it's on mobile ). And Star Wars hmm... I might really give it a shot if I can find a copy somewhere. And it's available for Mac, which is great!

Well, if for studying, you can always pay a course (if there are resources) on some subject, it can be online too =O. Hum, that light novel is in my to do list, I'm now focusing more on the psychology text books, so I unattended a little the novels that I was reading.

So you are having a "quiet" time in your life, good, a little time flowing with the current can be a little relaxing (but too much of it makes me feel bad, like watching my grandparent doing the same stuff everyday, time passing by like a quiet river), if I may ask, what kind of job are you doing?, how were your Canada's plans?, have you thought about working on something your like that involves actuarial sciences or programming?, maybe another project like the one you made with your friends in that competition you had some months ago. just commenting on "Need to do something about my current situation but what?"

Well, for now I just wonder if I will manage to read what I want and do what I have to do when the classes begin, maybe I will focus on some novels now and I will read the others in the next vacations, there is a little feeling of dread inside of me, thinking about the stuff I want to do and that there isn't time to doing it all at once, little by little I will, that kinda gives me a sense of calm.

Cool, are they good books Japo?

Well it's $1 USD to RM4.26 now... A simple $20 USD course easily costs me around RM85.2, which a part timer will most likely have to work for two days worth of work, with overtime. (Yes, wages are bad here)

It certainly is quiet now, but there's current running under the calm waters. I'm really worried about how my currency is dropping like it's falling into some abyss. It might cause me to lose my chance of going overseas. But I can't play the waiting game as well, so I am looking for options, but I don't even know where to start. Some have given me recommendations and suggestions, but they all end up with me being somewhere else and not doing what I want. But if push comes to shove, I might still have to take up that kind of offer.

And I am still aiming for getting an actuarial science degree, but I'm doing little towards that with what I'm surrounded with. I'm taking this month to consider my options and will most likely step out into somewhere that I'm not comfortable with to seek for what I want and need.

And you have Goodreads to help you for books, and maybe MAL to help you for anime, but I kinda still prefer keeping my own list in my notes. I feels different having it in a list, rather than an external database. I would like to setup my own database though...

The light novel's pretty cool as I've described. The other is simply a book about interest in finance

That's good! Finance is a good thing to learn about anyway! :D

Hmm... I'm not reading it up for the sake of banking though I'm reading it for the sake of knowing more math in practice

Hum Currency, mine is down in the abyss and surprisingly it can get worse, good luck with that, I hope Malaysia doesn't have our fate. And I'm sure that if it's by you, you will try everything on your reach to achieve what you want, I suppose you want to get your degree in Canada; it would be interesting then you making your own database =P; and I make extensive use of databases like those to say the truth =o, I spend much of my time reading about stuff I would like to watch, read or play and that I already have read, watched or played, maybe even more than actually reading, watching or playing, mostly as a filter and I like making bigger those list as for always having something to do and I like to read reviews to see others point of view about something I currently read or watched, also I spend too much time looking for music to listen to XP, like this night for example, I went searching for the music I would post on here, then I went through some other versions, songs and found some gems.

Good to see that at least you have a right mix for now, you enjoy yourself, study something and work for the time being, see ya guys, I'm already falling asleep, the night went away in music

Oh forgot to add, quite the thing, the sage came back from the death for a little while it seems, such a shame that I went out of the chat just when he wrote there XD (I wanted to wander and do other stuff before replying in the forum), interesting events in this week indeed.

With two currencies going on and even the government uses both, it's quite hard to have foreigners to invest in the currency to help it grow back up (all other economic factors as well, but no one person can change the economy after all). And mine is quite bad already. Our ratings are bad, and banks in foreign countries now don't list our exchange rate on their counters, and you can only get a quote when you ask the bankers cause it's dropping so badly every single minute. I'm extremely worried if I can even go now. I may really have to start drawing out some contingency plans. There's no guarantee when my currency will go up from here. It's quite devastating, and sadly, it makes me hopeless. I already have two vague contingencies as of now. They're not solidified yet, and I wonder if the later one would be even safe.

Links, links and links Vic. Reading through articles (related to the many things we read) is like an endless activity for me, cause I'd be clicking on the links that are in the articles to check out on what that particular paragraph was based on. There's no end to it, cause those links will have more links.
And music, yes, there's no end to the demand as well

Sage just got back, and that's great, cause we've got another fellow friend now.

And you've just watched KimiUso! Good! How's them feels?

Sorry for being pessimistic Japo, but it can be a lot worse and it may a long time to get better (unless there are some critical unexpected changes in there), keep working on those alternatives, have good solid plan b and c then, good luck on the canada future and do your best.

Yep, links and links , I usually stop when I have seen enough, what I wanted or I recall that I have planned things to do that I deem more important than going on some things I consider are of low importance at the moment (if I don't I won't finish my plans any time sooner), still, a good distraction or a little wandering when there can be one it's good from time to time.

Yeah it's quite active, one can tag other people in here? I wonder if he will join the chat @ILSxSage , hum

Yes I watched it , my hearth was torn to pieces but I enjoyed all the little moments they had, , it was an interesting and great adventure, interesting point of views, I feel a little sorry that I couldn't relate to some classical pieces, it's not my preferred type of music on some cases, but they did a great work on conveying the images and feelings those performance evoked, it was impossible to not feel related and in sync with the last piece, it as all going accordingly, but some other times I felt the emotions or messages the piece was trying to convey, still I couldn't appreciate them fully as part of the classic music isn't a sweet that I fancy too much.

As I said in my status, for me it's really hard to cry on some stuff, but inside I was devastated, amazed and kinda bitterly joyful; in the inside is were all I feel shows and some little in the outside mostly, it was a great bittersweet adventure.

Now I'm kinda jumpy now that classes are getting near, awaiting that this semester comes out good or great, and really the fact that the socio-political situation right now is a total disaster and that the universities announced they are in strike, makes me uneasy, I still have to sign up normally in my subjects and await for the school and teachers to reveal their position regarding all of this, so I can know if I will have classes or not.

In the meantime i Keep reading books, manga and watching anime, only some chapters everyday to enjoy them slowly, that way I think I feel happier than rushing them, like eating chocolate for a week can light up the day instead of eating all in one moment and then getting worried because of sugar or a pimple XD.

That's not too pessimistic Vic. I'm looking at the bankruptcy of a country already
This is getting salty

When you have time to burn, or before you sleep and you come across something to read, it becomes quite endless, and I can only stop myself if there's something going on in the morning, or if I'm just too tired that day that my head is just not taking in anything at all.

And the tagging system is kind of broken, but it's a problem with the software that I cannot solve (cause I don't wanna use the forum provider's notification system cause it puts a bar that's really out of place on your forum).

KimiUso is great in that sense, that it's not the happy ending that everyone would yearn from a romance anime. But it ended beautifully, a very bitter but sweet page of youth of our main male character. It really made him different: his growth as a person is really something wonderful to spectate in the anime. And that last piece seen on stage (Ballade No. 1 in G minor, Op. 23), during Kaori's surgery, was quite fitting, both the name of the piece (that it's a ballade) and Kousei's feelings and visions when he's playing the piece. It was... beautiful. 'D

I've not cried for a long long time, to the point where I almost forgot that I could cry. But I've been on the verge recently. My mind and heart has been running off to places that I don't want em running to (wow... is that even possible?). So yeah, I might end up adding a similar page to my own book

There is a switch for me to actually start crying like a baby, or I feel terribly guilty because I hurt or I did something bad to someone unknowingly and without intention (instant rain), or I feel betrayed in any way (deep betrayal like an emotional one), or if it's a direct social attack like alienation-seclusion (it doesn't affect me that much as If some doesn't like me around them, then simply that person is no good to me) at me or at some friend, I hate injustices, add some emotional betrayal in there (the faucets would start flowing or...) and the rage wouldn't let you recognize me, of course it would be of little probability for me to become physically violent.

So emotions are carrying you away =P?, of course it's possible, logically you want something to happen, things to happen in the way your will wants and you want to control the situation, but your mind and heart may wander into an emotional situation, something that makes you distressed, that even if you know or feel it wouldn't serve to go at it it makes you uneasy, some unfinished business? there is regret involved? it's a girl =P? if you don't want to talk about it that is fine, but your mind will wander even more if you try to block it and if it's something bad or "negative" in any way, your mind will exalt it as the brain remarks those things for being alert and solve or chase away those situations, evolutionary response is a theory. So what is left is to accept it and make peace with it if it's something that can't be changed (have a positive-active attitude perhaps), and if it can be, then equally accept it and make peace, but if there is any way to make things better or solve the issue, then the better (it's really frustrating if it's something one can't do nothing about directly, like our countries situation and our immediate surroundings).

You just left me curious, and started to mumble some open advice, don't follow up if you don't want but have good luck with that, the internet in here has been really irregular, it's horrible to not have internet even if it's just some minutes O_O, well by now I'm watching gin no saji second season, baccano! and shirobako (I finished aku no hana in manga, it was awesome, it really brought up some social and psychological subjects and I finished confidential confessions -it's quite a direct critic unto japanese society in the past decade, not the best writing but attacks forthright some issues with young people, women being the MC in all available characters), it has been great, and I have finished 3 volumes of the hakomari series and 1 of the republic commando series by karen traviss (quite good let me say), I have been reading at a good pace XP.

So many long posts! I am too lazy to read them .

We need to invent a TL;DR system maybe? That's still kinda impossible given our current level of technology.

@VicmxD
And well, yeah, it was a girl (of course, there's also my visa and financial worries along the way). I was just getting interested so I kept it at that level, cause I need to both make sure of my own intentions and if she would, well, be suitable. And as I waited (it's just about 2 weeks), she's taken. " longdesc="109" /> I've known her for quite a while, and I have a vague idea of our incompatibilities (which I wasn't sure, which contributes to the suitability part), but well, she's a good lass. It's a good thing that she's happy, and I'm happy about that. Reflecting on myself, I may be trying to protect myself a little too much from being hurt though, and for her as well (cause I was thinking if it was a bad time too), but there's no measurement to that. But that's that.

Aku no Hana's on my waiting list, ever since our evil bunny friend from AOST mentioned it and I checked the summary out. Never had the time to watch it but it's there. I hope I have the patience watching it tho, given my Internet speed. Or should I read the manga? You know of any difference between the two?
And I've watched Gin no Saji, and I really liked how they portrayed farming life and how tough it is. I've only heard of my parents talking about em during their childhood (cause most people two generations above me here own farms), and how tough it is, but never really seen it. This anime is a good one to give me a sneak peek.
Shirobako's a good slice of "work" anime, and I even have a friend who praises that anime like some clergyman praising his religion. I'm a more slice of "life" person so I was kinda expecting it to show more of the "life" part, but work is good, and the anime really shows how it's supposed to be.

Sorry that I was off for a while. I was too tired for the rest of the week last week, and I barely touched my laptop once I'm home. I'd be sleeping or eating or cleaning my room whenever I'm home now. I'm focusing too much on work, like the extreme kind, and it's kinda hard to control myself from not being focused (to the point where I wouldn't know what's going on around me and how fast time is flowing) and it's just tiring.

Oh and Vic, I heard on the news that your government is doing something about the Columbian borders (can't recall now, I just heard it on the radio through the hourly news), I think it was something to rectify the problem you told me last week.

Hum, life, love, quite complicated things, you will have your moment but in the meantime you can enjoy the ride and maybe some cute passenger will join it XP, I'm quite quiet about those issues right now, I may not want it but I'm quite comfortable (maybe too much), at least you tried and maybe learned something.

I only read the manga, the difference mainly is the art I believe, since the anime tried to make the characters like real persons, I don't know what technique they applied and I believe the main characters are quite different in appearance but still the anime portrays faithfully the manga (regarding some comments where I read the manga), I don't think it shows all the manga so maybe you will jump to the manga once you finish it =P, the manga was great! one sure to leave an empty space in your heart, it may not grip you at the beginning and for some it was the kinda "crazy" substance, but that is part of the point of it all in which you can reflect.

I really enjoyed Gin no saji indeed and I have been enjoying shirobako too learning how works the anime production =P, I begun quite some time ago baccano! it's good too =P reminds me of quentin tarantino style on pulp fiction and I'm beginning with hanasaku iroha (I think you have already watched it), some quiet anime to relax.

I begun classes! yesterday was my first day, now i have classes in the night until really late hours, I believe I can survive without being robbed, but lets be optimistic, my father offered to give my a ride back at least I have that; control japo control!, don't overexert yourself so early don't fall into that vicious circle too easily, try to maintain healthy levels of activity and rest, or exert yourself in a way that doesn't consumes too much of you

And really I don't know anything about that (maybe I dismissed it), I haven't read on it recently and since I don't turn on the tv for the news I really don't know what the government says or the content of their brainwashing channels XP, but if it's something serious or it may be actually happening I will get to know it soon on the social nets, the last thing I heard was that 2 expensive venezuelan special military planes crashed on the frontier with Colombia (in our side of the frontier they say), one may wonder how they fell if they should have expert pilots or if maybe they weren't, or if it was an "accident" or some secret unspoken event like some group taking them down. I will get to know, but I will focus on my studies for now and in my hobbies while I can, like this one XP.

Edit

Yep I read they made a meeting and spoke about it, yet I don't know what they concluded, yet unless santos makes maduro do something (obliged) i don't think something good can come out of it, or maybe maduro will do something to maintain the appearances and tranquility with the Colombian government.
