Have A Question?

[UNRATED69]

 

I have a question. Why is there flood control on the search?

Might be way off the mark here, but might have something to do with spambot prevention etc?

It's for the servers, to many people searching many times slow down the forum.

Ah, that's kinda what I thought. Thanks.

Obligatory Question: When there's going to be New Year's Eve, which country passes first in the next year?

Parts of Kiribati, because they fall under the UTC+14 time zone, which is just west of the International Date Line (Longitude 180). Basically, whoever is in UTC+14 celebrates the New Year first.

I think Australia is one of those countries too, who celebrate first. As far as I know they're GMT+12?

In comparison to most of the world, yes, but for the Kiribatians (probably not a word ) in UTC+14, they celebrate the New Year two hours before the Australians in UTC+12 do.

Yep, that clears up about everything I wondered. Thanks.

Why's everyone got to hate on the Hippys? In another similar question... I know no one here has an answer, but I did detect some hate or misunderstanding

[_Rob_]

I'm gunna hazard a guess at South Park and it's influence on kids.

[Icarus]

Why's everyone got to hate on the Hippys?

I blame Richard Nixon. He was pretty anti-hippie.

[trip]

Why's everyone got to hate on the Hippys?

Because most hippies are posers.

Unfortunately, the poser hippies really hinder the real hippies.

And the poser hippie sub-species, hipsters, which are as far as I can tell the love child of emo's and hippy posers.

[Slamman]

Well, I was just watching my Woodstock stuff and enjoying Jimi Hendrix, it's somewhat amazing how the Peace and Love movement really marked a near decade in US history and other concerts in the same spirit across the seas. I just don't see there being a hippy movement so much in the modern era. Many grew disillusioned throughout the 1970s.

 

For me, it's hard to say what they are in the modern era.

 

At the time of the late 60s, it seemed like an entire generation of young adults were questioning the status quo and that became known largely as the hippy generation.

Ohh I was a little hippie when I was 14/17 years old, good times

[matajuegos]

questions? ok, I need help with this equation, i want just the explanation of the process

 

-if -(x+6) = 3x+2 find x

 

 

please, give me the full explanation i'm stupid at math

Edited July 13, 2011 by matajuegos

[AndyGanteks]

-(x+6) = 3x+2

-x-6=3x+2

 

-x goes to right side, 2 goes to left side.

 

-6-2=3x+x

-8=4x

x=-2

Really? Do tell....if we can here? There's a question or two.

 

I've been accused of being a hippy and it strikes me as strange because I'm a Metalhead I like to think. Though I do wish for a kindler, gentler thrash and bash mentality

Jeskola Buzz.

Modular plugin system with downloadable synths, drum machines and all manner of other nice things.

[cidamelo]

Slamman oh I used to wear hippie clothes, my hair was very long and curly.............I still have some clothes of that time, and some of them I use, like in a boho style

[Slamman]

Hmmmm. For me casual attire is where it's at, T-shirt, jeans, tennis shoes and I took to wearing short athletic socks, so there's never some need for high fashion.

In my youth I had conservative kids clothes but I've always been averse to wearing anything with a lot of buttons

 

As for Questions, I always feel I need to have one.

 

What do you do with your "old" computers (cause I will take them!)?

[cidamelo]

Slamman nowadays I am used to wear casual clothes too, it's more pratical And what is an old computer for you?? Because my oldest is from 2000 and I still use it to play some games

[Andrew]

C'mon guys the Have a question topic isn't a place for a conversation, please take it to PM!

[Lurch]

Question: Why did they make Andrew an admin?

Edited July 13, 2011 by Lurch

[Otter]

I suspect he's extremely good at coding. Or perhaps he helps pay for the server. Maybe it has something to do with the modding areas.

 

I don't know. Go ask your dad.

[Lurch]

While I'm at it? What's this big minecraft thing everyone seems into nowadays? Young whippersnappers and their newfangled online games.

[Otter]

Ah. Your father wouldn't know anything about that. It's a "game" "played" by "people" where you "build" "things" out of "blocks".

 

The "blocks" can be "interacted with" in a myriad different ways. One dude even "built" a "computer". Within his computer. Cool, right? Well, it was cool, until another player showed up and enslaved all his sheep or something. It's all very dramatic.

 

Kind of like Kindergarten with more rules.

[Lurch]

Lastly, what's the difference between Network Admins and Forum Admins? Is their some sort of Admin hierarchy?

[Miro]

 

Sure, let me try to make it clear.

• Network Admins - The people in this group have the same administration power on GTAForums, but they only take care of the GTA Network, not the forum. Still, they visit this forum. This is a brand new group.
• Forum Admins - Here are the ones who take care of GTAForums doing a little more than the moderators. They do ban, delete, edit, etc and also access all possible sub forums.

 

 

The main reason why the groups were created was because of the fact that most of the network admins aren't very active on the forums and therefore while they retain admin permissions most of their work is in the coding of the sites that make up the network rather than the day to day running of the forums. That's why the Forum Admin group was created. So that the users know who to PM regarding forum issues and also so that the Network Admins have more time to devote to the making of forum additions (V2). Incidentally there was a group called the developers for a short time before they were taken over by the Network Admin group. I believe it comprised of fred, Suction Testicle Man, Tank and possibly Luke.

 

Hope this helps!

cant answer the previous question, but another question about minecraft, whats so fun about?

[Miro]

As far as I know it's a world where you can create anything. Houses, animals, anything. It has no great graphics though, but it's still awesome. Well, someone who actually plays the game can answer better.

[Lurch]

So why are the Forum Admins needed anymore than the moderators?

[Xboxless]

 

cant answer the previous question, but another question about minecraft, whats so fun about?

That could be asked in the Minecraft topic.

 

Minecraft is fun cause it allows you to be creative, and it has bits of adventure in it.

It has no direction so it is all up to you on what you do, make a massive castle, computer, super amazing mob traps.

 

The possibilities are ENDLESS!

In reality, it's as fun as you make it. I do sometimes get bored of it, but I always pick it back up.
