Can OmnomIRC come back? Maybe we can't type/talk in the channel but view #omnimaga, since eitherway people can read it in the logs.

Not sure if you agree, though.

After the dramatic events of the past few days, I went to the member list page (Misc -> Member List). And kind of analysed it by sorting it in several ways. I was surprised when i scrolled alphabetically that there were many users with 0 posts. So I pressed sort and what came up was at least 440 members had never posted! (it was all 0s until page 5, then 1s and 2s). This might be ok, but if you consider the trolling events going on and half of our members not even posting (600 had 5 or less posts), kind of questions the quality of our members (may registered this year and 2nd half of last year). Do they program? Do they know about calcs? And for the ones that do post (and are fairly new members), are they posting the stuff that we have seen over the past few months?

Sorry if i am taking this too critically, but this could be a relationship between the trolling and the members or something.

I doubt (answering the last question), but I can't understand why people create accounts and never post :S

If the Google ads are discrete, less people will click on them and you will get less money. Besides DJ_O said that you don't earn much with that.
Paypal donation probably will come, but if we get a cheaper hosting plan its even better.

You get a few cents per click, all we have to do is click

I agree with a cheaper hosting plan too, and I don't mind having to archive older parts of the forum (threads really old)

If you look around the old portions of this forum, you'll notice a user named allynfolksjr  Thats Nikky, he's pretty much a troll who doesn't like Omni.

yunhua's right, he's always cursing Omni on Cemetech :S

Nice. I'd suggest calling that a "base converter" though -- a "unit converter" converts units, between mPa and atm, for example.

EDIT: Oh, and the navbar looks great

Thanks, I changed it to Unit Converter now.

I also like the navbar

EDIT:

In the Products section:

There is a new type: Online Databases:

• TI-83+ Series Assembly BCalls List;

• Casio PRIZM Assembly Equates;

• TI-83+ Series Assembly Instructions Opcodes

well, one way yuo can make the movement downwards faster by let's say 2 pixels per frame is by moving and collision detecting by one pixel each time, rather than moving down by 2 then checking.

That seems doable.

I hope he finishes Metroid first, since it is such a good project.

Oh gosh, 2011 is turning out to be a disastrous year, and it's only March!
First there were the disastrous floods affecting Queensland in Australia (and also the state of Victoria). Brisbane, the capital of Qld was very badly affected, but Gold Coast was Ok, just phenomonal amounts of rain. Also there were the Brazilian floods which only appeared once on the Australian News (Australia's floods appeared 100s of times).

Then Christchurch, that was pretty serious considering there was one last year already. And now Japan! This one has got to be really serious, all the financial markets plummeted over the last few days. Not to mention the tsunami that it caused. And of course the radiation.

Also we must not forget the beginning of the series of revolutions in Africa and the Middle East. Started with Tunisia (ending with the President's resignation on my birthday), then Egypt and the leader Mubarak, (also Jordan was having protests too at the same time), and Libya (Gaddafi). The difference between Egypt and Libya is that Egypt's was mostly peaceful and created an overwhelming sense of euphoria when Mubarak peacefully resigned, while in Libya there is a leader calling his own people enemies and engaging in civil war.

Given that this has only happened in just a few months, the forecast doesn't look good for the rest of 2011!
And we all know of the December 21st 2012 threat, could these events lead to this?

EDIT: 2008, the financial crisis marked only the beginning...

I think the year could get a turning point, but yeah it's an awful year it seems.
