I posted this to see if was worth anything... Meaning is it a good PC. He sent it to me stating that I was selling it and I wasn't allowed to post anything forsale.

That's the way I understood it. I didn't see anyone else in that thread saying "look at me!" Mayne said he liked to say "bastard" a lot, and the OP of that thread certainly used it a lot there. :eek:

Another thing I came in to add.....before seeing the Ars link and getting distracted was when I first was trying to find a computer forum to get help on back in the day, I just couldn't do [H]. Although it wasn't because of Kyle, the moderators, or the users. It was the fact after reading that dark layout they loved to do everything in, when I switched back to any other site my retinas about burnt out. :p

I tried the new dark theme here for about 5 seconds after the forum update because of the same reasons.

Does anyone here ever visit HardForum? I haven't been on there in a couple of months, but Holy Hell, they've installed some wretched new forum software and its totally fucked up now.

Who's the giant leaking douchebag that used to run that thing? I remember back in the day that he was a complete asshole who didn't know shit about tech. Most of the articles on hardcop or whatever he called the site were a joke. Does he still own the site, or has it changed hands?

XenForo is much better than the ancient vBulletin software still in use here (written by some of the same people too).

Now, I agree that the skin isn't great there!

I disagree. I don't care for the way you have to do things. phpBB is a hell of a lot better and with the use of extensions it's even better.

I suspect there hasn't been any change in feelings toward XenForo?

They have a light theme if you pick it at the bottom... however most users aren't aware of it and sometimes they format their posts assuming everyone uses the dark theme and they end up looking terrible. Not common, but funny when you see it.

The H is also extremely conservative. The majority seem to have Democrats and are total Trumpets.

Edit: "have" should have been "hate"....

100%... What has he done in the last 2 years that was bad for the American people?
Click to expand...
  • "Fake News" is straight out of the Nazi playbook. So he has specifically attempted to turn the people away from paying attention to the world around themselves and rely on him for the "truth" when he has been found to have lied more frequently by a HUGE margin than past presidents since that was kept track of.
  • "North Korea has denuclearized" makes the US look like complete idiots on the world stage.
  • Installed industry lobbyists as head of the EPA to remove all environmental protections which also pads his pockets.
Its actually fairly easy to come up with a list of how his actions negatively affect the American people.

I don't see it your way... Let's keep politics out of here. It never ends well and we'll get nowhere.

....Was that just...some political related posts where there was a disagreement... and people weren't butt-hurt?

...and the argument ended in a civilized way? I need to screenshot this shit.

I know, right? There's a first time for everything apparently. :cool:

A political disagreement that didn't end with someone either insulting their family members, questioning the person's intelligence or mental health (and many times their sexuality), or wishing that they would drive into a tree head-on.

Maybe there is hope for P&N after all? Although I'm not holding my breath on that! ;)

P&N has its own specific set of rules/tolerances. I'm fine with compartmentalizing.
