Didn't he make it?

[Reply #203 on:]

These are fake accounts I thought it was just fanboys from Ontopic.

Gentlemen, and ladies. I propose we Banish ontopic into oblivion, forever! So then we wont have to suspect Ontopic-ers are fakers.

[Reply #204 on:]

I think we have a new spammer on the General Disscussion thread. Fry=$$$ is his/her name, I believe. Posting and creating threads at every possible moment.

[Reply #205 on:]

See this?


You have a problem with someone who you think is breaking the rules, use it.

[Reply #206 on:]

Beside, that was just his first few posts, and threads here. I've seen worse members in their first hours.

[Reply #207 on:]

Being new, possibly bored new members get excited when they first join; I think we should give them some time before judging.

For complaints about another member please use the alert button at the bottom of the offending post.

Thank you and good night.

Did you know that Adaware recognises the Peel cookie as a data miner?

[Reply #210 on:]

Adaware has done that for ages 

[Reply #211 on:]

You CAN tell Adaware to ignore it.

[Reply #212 on:]

I wish It wouldn't I cant tell which ones are legit cookies and which ones arent. Or would they all be?
I have pro edition, come to think of it. I should have gotten the idiotproof one.

[Reply #213 on:]

Hmm... with these new frenzied rumours couldn't the classic ep bit be finally done away with and replaced with any updates?

[Reply #214 on:]

Is PEEL slow as frozen molasses right now, or is it just me?

[Reply #215 on:]

I'm no good at figuring out PEEL time, but reguardless of whatever time it is now; yes.
Timed out three times before i got here, and now things are indeed as slow as a snail with a hamstring injury.

[Reply #216 on:]

Peel has been off for about 2 hours.

Due to a crash, or was it the extensive usage of bandwitdh, caused by to the good news regarding Futurama?

[Reply #217 on:]

CGEF was Slashdotted, and PEEL uses the same server. Codey was making some good server-pancakes in the chat, you should've joined us.

[Reply #218 on:]

Thanks aslate. 

Codey you say. Damn, why didn't I ask him per AIM.

I was just about to install nettalk again. The install file was corrupted however...

I really should join #fc once upon a time.

[Reply #219 on:]

what is the good news about futurama?

[Reply #220 on:]

That there is a chance for a direct to DVD movie.
Read it here: http://www.peelified.com/cgi-bin/Futurama/1-004150-1/  and on the following pages. And on CGEF of course.

[Reply #221 on:]

Crap, that scared me.

Thought the forum had crashed again...

[Reply #222 on:]

Crashed, slashdotted. It's the same thing.

[Reply #223 on:]

So what's this big problem with the servers everyone's talking about? I've been away for a while, and I think I've missed something.

Yesterday, PEEL was down, not allowing anyone to get on. Apparently, it had to do with too many people attempting to access the site, but that's just what I've heard. I'm still waiting for official word from [-mArc-]

 http://www.slashdot.org  front-paged the news article on CGEF about Futurama straight-to-DVD. As a result of this, thousands of nerds clicked the links to CGEF, causing a nice server overload. It's known as the Slashdot Effect, taking out servers linked to from Slashdot.

PEEL and CGEF are using the same server, CGEF fried the server, so PEEL went down with it.

[Reply #226 on:]

Well, it's nice to know the non PEEL Futurama community is still alive.

[Reply #227 on:]

ANy chance that you can change the raging Bender episode thingy on the top right to a different episode to vote on? thanks, its gettign annoying seeing it.

[Reply #228 on:]

Don't hold your breath. People been asking this for more than 2 years now and, well you know the result...

[Reply #229 on:]

I have a Complaint.

N00bS that name is so annoying

[Reply #230 on:]

The "N00B" tag has been discussed numerous times here on PEEL.

Yeah, and each time there has been no serious point to banning the use of that word. So yeah, either a PEELer is stuck with it until after 6 months or until the PEELer stops spamming.

[Reply #231 on:]

 

Originally posted by aslate:
 Some people consider it by date, others by post count, but most consider a "n00b" by their attitude, regularity, if they fit in or how they post. There's no official definition.

That's me disagreeing with your discription slightly.

My complaint: Ontopic, more specifically the Random Question-Answer Thread, has become a pointless Spam Haven. Which is very annoying, for me at least.

[Reply #232 on:]

Yeah i've read it in the in The Fry Hole - Peel FAQ

[Reply #233 on:]

Pasty! Please! I am this board's official anti-usage-of-the-word-n00b-spokesperson (I need a snappier title). There are plenty of decent points to banning the "word" n00b.

1) It is always used in a derogatory sense, or could easily be taken that way.
2) We shouldn't be encouraging the use of words with numbers in them
3) It's a smug, stick up your arse that certain cliques like to use to attack, well, everyone.
4) I said so
5) The designation of six months fails to differentiate between a decent newbie who has lurked and understood the rules of the board, and experienced members who still act like PMT ridden jackasses
6) I've been here longer than you, I can beat you up
7) There's a perfectly good word. Newbie. It's neutral, doesn't use numbers, makes sense.

Just hit the alert button to email mArc and walk away. It's that simple.

[Reply #235 on:]

it wouln't be just about pressing that button as the button just alerts [-marc-] of one post, Krokei wants [-marc-] to be alerted of a thread. maybe there should be alert buttons to alert [-marc-] of threads as well as posts.

[Reply #236 on:]

The alert button doesn't warn [-mArc-] immediatelly. It opens your mail client in which you can send him a mail, containing what you annoyed in that post or the whole thread.

[Reply #237 on:]

No, we don't need that. Just alert the first thread post, and type in the message that spam needs to be cleared throughout the entire thread. It's not that hard.

Besides, the "Alert Thread" thing would have to be implemented by hand by mArc or slimmy, and they wouldn't do that anytime soon unless we REALLY needed it.

EDIT: Beaten by GFF while I was typing this.

[Reply #238 on:]

Since no-one has argued against my case I guess I win. Ha, Pasty, you just got owned!

I owned a Dave Gorman lookalike. This is my proudest day. 

[Reply #239 on:]

Meh, I'll make it a point to kick your ass tomorrow at the PEELathon.
