on*

Red said he couldnt get one
@  furrykef : (24 July 2015 - 11:25 AM)

Also I still have to figure out how to set up our e-mail accounts on the new host.
@  furrykef : (24 July 2015 - 08:19 AM)

As soon as I figure out how to restore it. Sorry, I know I said it'd be done by now, but I didn't expect to have to put up with this DNS crap and other issues that popped up.
@  Uncle Ben : (24 July 2015 - 07:56 AM)

So when's the black theme coming back??
@  Uncle Ben : (24 July 2015 - 07:56 AM)

"Should"
@  furrykef : (24 July 2015 - 07:27 AM)

That DNS took longer to propagate properly than I thought it would. *Now* we should be back for good, though.
@  furrykef : (23 July 2015 - 08:48 PM)

Or it might be because Bluehost *finally* got around to that server wipe (one week after we'd asked for it) and that wiped out our DNS settings. I'm not sure which and I don't really care. In any case, we've severed our last ties with Bluehost, so this will not happen again.
@  furrykef : (23 July 2015 - 08:08 PM)

Looks like Bluehost yanked our DNS since our hosting account expired. That's why the site went down a while ago. But as you can see, it's fixed now.
@  Misk : (23 July 2015 - 04:55 PM)

No, they do not.
@  furrykef : (23 July 2015 - 04:27 AM)

The goggles do nothing?
@  Misk : (22 July 2015 - 05:50 PM)

My eyes.
@  furrykef : (22 July 2015 - 12:24 PM)

Looks like forum uploads might have been broken since last night. That should be fixed now too.
@  furrykef : (22 July 2015 - 01:33 AM)

Heh, whoops! Server went down for a few mins when I borked the config. Looks like it's back up now.
@  Uncle Ben : (21 July 2015 - 09:09 PM)

It looked like a napkin
@  ILOVEVHS : (21 July 2015 - 09:04 PM)

Fan-fuckin-tastic.
@  furrykef : (21 July 2015 - 08:25 PM)

As for the beaver picture while the forum was down, I think Tim drew it. On a napkin.
@  furrykef : (21 July 2015 - 08:24 PM)

No kiddin' about that "Finally!", Shadow. I am *so mad* at Bluehost for never responding to our support ticket. I submitted it early Friday morning and they *still* haven't answered it!
@  Uncle Ben : (21 July 2015 - 06:37 PM)

Maybe he did that himself
@  Shadow : (21 July 2015 - 05:25 PM)

Say, who made the cute picture of Beaver Chief?

#83407 What Do You Think?

Posted by btstlouis on 16 February 2012 - 09:39 PM

Something has been bugging me lately. It's the reality that seemingly all people think they can tell you that you shouldn't care so much about something. By the way, I am speaking from a hobby/passion standpoint (examples: cars, sports, music, video games), not from life's overarching themes (relationships, religion, ect).

In my example, it's sports (or any type of competition really). I love winning, I love getting better at things, I love everything about competing against other people in different areas. I'm not a jerk in competitive situations, I just always play to win.

It seems that most people like to play "for fun" over playing "to win".
That's fine. Really, I don't care if you're not competive.

But it doesn't go both ways. You can want to play for fun, and I won't judge you. So why is the reverse not true? Why am I judged and berated for trying my best and always playing to win? Who are you to tell me how I should go about it?

Our society is so inconsistent with this. Certain things are okay to be passionate about, while others are condemned. Take music for example, no one criticizes another for being obsessed with improving their guitar skills. But if I want to be awesome at Halo, that is largely just seen as a complete waste of time and you are wrong for putting so much time into something so trivial.
