Thread: The Fortunate Mortal (dando20 and Frogger)

O-Of course! Why wouldnt I be okay? Sophia ran a nervous hand through her curls, which in turn brought a few tumbling down against her cheek. It was frightening For a moment, she thought he was gazing through her disguise, and looking onto her true self. No mortal has those kinds of capabilities though Gods can do such things, but not without effort. Her grey eyes rose up to meet his, only to dance away seconds later. A fresh wave of pink washed over those lovely, delicate features of hers. I found a chicken in the fridge It shouldnt take very long to roast. What else do you think we should have with it? I have a variety of vegetablesbut I dont know what exactly you like in that area Moments later she was back in the kitchen, fridge open, with its cool breath falling onto her arms. It was actually soothing. Mm I have corn, green beans, broccoli Which would you prefer? It doesnt matter to me which we have. Her clothes did wonders for the curves of her body. Though she wasnt the dazzling beauty Aphrodite was, there were still beautiful aspects to drink in, subtle but there nonetheless. Her figure was in the shape of an hourglass, and her breasts were full and lush. There was a sharp, intelligent look to those tumultuous grey eyes of hers. It was rather becoming, especially given her high cheekbones, full pink lips, amongst other features.
Thread: The Fortunate Mortal (dando20 and Frogger)

Odd Dane thought Sophia just dropped the subject like that?..Well I don't want to push the issue if it bothers her....Wow..she's so sexy Dane shock his head, getting the thoughts out of his head. He heard about the choices of veggies and smiled about the choices. Well I do like corn and broccoli. And see if you have any mashed potatoes too..I like those...Umm..I hope I'm not stepping any boundaries or anything..
Thread: The Fortunate Mortal (dando20 and Frogger)

Sophia reached into the belly of the fridge, its chilly breath teasing her skin as she pulled out the corn. I will be sure to look. And no, youre not overstepping any lines. You are my guest. I am just happy that you accepted my offer of dinner, and of company. Sometimes I feel like the walls are closing in Her voice trailing off, she closed the fridge, before taking a look inside a nearby cabinet. Mashed potatoes definitely were delicious with chicken, yet she wasnt quite sure if she had any. Usually she only bought enough food for a week, but if a sale did riseof course she took advantage. I heard you say something about a.anime convention? What is that, exactly? Curiosity entered her words. What did the word mean? Was it animation? If so, why must a convention be held for it? Brewing over these questions, Sophia found several packages of fast mashed potatoes which she can make in minutes.
Thread: Question/Discussion for Parents or Future Parents--- Kids and Money

I just thought I'd ask here. Let's say you're financially limited... we all are. And there are things your kid wants to do or to have, most likely stemmed from the influence of a friend who's family can afford such things, but it is just financially too much for you . How would you feel if your kid's friend's parents started buying and paying for these things for your kid?
Thread: Question/Discussion for Parents or Future Parents--- Kids and Money

I think a lot of factors would very seriously come into play here. First of all, it would depend on the relationship you had with the people who were willing to pay for your child. It would also depend on the stipulations if any that were agreed upon for the repayment for these things--example, do you pay them back at a later time, in a lump sum or partial payments, do you pay them back in other ways that might not require money. It would also depend upon the things themselves that were being purchased--example, do you allow for frivolous unnecessary things to be purchased that your child doesn't really need andor do you allow for things to be paid for that might enrich your child andor possibly help them down the line ie, extracurricular activities such as dance, a sport, music lessons, etc. I think once those are determined, it might be a bit easier to figure out where you'd stand and how comfortable you'd be. I know I wouldn't just take anything from anyone. It would VERY sorely depend on the relationship I held with that person, how much I trusted them and that sort of thing. I also would probably want to be able to do something in return for the kindness. If finances were strained for me and I knew I wouldn't be able to pay them back, I'd probably offer up some other service where possible. For example, I'd offer to watch their kids for them whenever they needed or to help them out when they needed to run errands, something along those lines. Of course, I'd probably still try to find a way to slowly pay them back..... but that is my own personal way of doing things. I'd also NEVER allow anyone--not even family--to buy my kids something overly frivolous. Sure, while young toys and such are one thing, but there will come a point that certain things will just be off limits. Period. And no matter how much they whine, that will be that. And it won't always be a matter of finances either. But I'm starting to digress slightly. So, back on topic. I think if I were close enough to the family my child was friends with and they were willing to assist in something that would help enrich my child's life andor provide them something that could help them down the line with a skill or something that could be useful in college or for a scholarship or something like that, I think I'd strongly consider it after discussing things with them. And yes, I'd have to discuss things with them. Even still though, it would probably be super hard. But ultimately, it would be for my child and I'd have to exhaust all my options and do all I could do first before doing such things. But, if after all of that, I needed the help and it was truly something that would be beneficial to my child, and I trusted the family and was able to get a sense of EVERYTHING after some very serious discussions, I might be able to be persuaded. But boy. It would be tough. But then, I think it would be for a lot of people. However, when it falls to how the life of your child will go and what opportunities your child can have, you will do what's needed to see it done.
Thread: Question/Discussion for Parents or Future Parents--- Kids and Money

I'll use an example then x.x It's just something that doesn't sit well with me personally but eh, I'm not the caretaker. We grow up in a community that is about higher middle class in average income. But my family is not. My nephew seems to be a magnet for charity. Once he went to stay the night with a friend, my parents relationship with the other parents is... neutral? They don't know them very well. Well, after he came back from his sleep over, he had a full new outfit that his friend's mom had bought him from the mall. He had a shirt, pants, and shoes. She buys him clothing quite often now. My mom is beginning to think she's doing it out of sympathy. It's not like he's lacking clothing. Sure, he isn't the most fashionable, but he isn't lacking. He and another friend of his decided they wanted to join a swim team. But it costs a decent amount for the lessons, and the gear isn't all too cheap. My mom told him no because it costs a lot of money and he's already in a few activities band, a youth group, and various sports. So, his friend's parents bought him all of the gear and said they'd pay for them. Now we're having an issue because now, another friend's parents told him they'd buy him a DS because he said he didn't have one, their kid does, and they want to be able to play a game together. It just makes me worry that the kid might gain some self entitlement. Maybe make him think that its normal to just get what you want when you want it and have it handed to you. Just because you want it, doesn't mean you should or can have it. Not to sound mean, but we have a lot of spoiled brats in this area, and a lot of the parents are pushovers who will spend every dime on their kid just to make them happy and shut up.
Thread: Question/Discussion for Parents or Future Parents--- Kids and Money

Ok, see..... this is what I'd deem strange. Like you said, he has the necessities and he's even being provided the extras. It's not like he's being denied. Now, if he had none or what not, that would be an entirely different issue all together. Also, as you said, the relationship between the parents of both parties is neutral. That definitely plays a role and the fact that no discussions were made either is quite strange in my book especially when one can see he is being provided for and given things. I can see how that wouldn't sit well. It wouldn't for me either. That, to me, comes off in rather poor taste on the side of the friend's parents. And I also find it weird that they are broaching into the territory of frivolity with the DS. That is just ridiculous and stepping out of line even more so than they already have.
Thread: Question/Discussion for Parents or Future Parents--- Kids and Money

Yeah, my mom doesn't see a problem. My dad has a problem though, and I kind of side with my dad, but it really does seem like a 5050 thing. On paper its a really nice thing, but at the same time, there's boundaries one has to respect with a kid and also the other reasons for telling a kid no and not giving the kid what they want. You don't want to end up with a spoiled brat.
Thread: Question/Discussion for Parents or Future Parents--- Kids and Money

To be honest, they shouldn't be buying him all these things. Little things like maybe a toy? I wouldn't be super worried about but to me that says they think I'm not doing enough for my kid and feel a need to do more for them just because I'm not giving them enough. It's really not their decision to give my kid things just because of what they give theirs. It broaches trying to parent my own children.
Thread: Question/Discussion for Parents or Future Parents--- Kids and Money

My personal thought on it is that they should've asked your parents prior to just the giving..... I get the whole 'being nice' thing. And it's a wonderful thing for those who are in serious need. People like to give and feel good doing it. Just as people like to see their children get things and smile because of it. But....... thing is this. As a parent, we are ultimately the ones responsible and, in cases such as yours, where your brother isn't destitute and is able to get things and even things above and beyond on top of it, then really these people shouldn't be butting in. It might be different if the family was close to yours or something, but, as you yourself said, they are not. And the stranger part is that they didn't discuss this with your parents. If your brother was showing up dirty, blah blah and they got him nice clothes one, maybe two times and that was it, left it at that, that might be one thing. But to go the extra mile with some of these other things is a bit strange. I would think that if they truly wanted to 'provide', they'd have made it a point to speak to your parents, get to know your family and other such things. Just my thought there. Otherwise it comes off rather weirdly to me. Perhaps it isn't, but I'd want to at least know and would inquire about it and if anyone got my kid such a lavish gift after doing all those other things....? Yeah, I'd be arching a brow.

Thread: Perhaps something that could help

Now, I forgive if this steps on any toes, but given the space constraints that BMR is experiencing, I was thinking that reinstating the ability of thread-authors to delete any of their threads that are really old themselves and haven't seen a reply in some time might help clear up some of the clutter on this site. This way, mods and admins won't be getting bombarded with requests to delete threads and there won't be as much confusion as to what gets deleted and what doesn't. Like I said, just an idea. Maybe I'm missing something that would make this a completely unacceptable solution, but....yeah, I'll stop rambling now, hehe.
Thread: Perhaps something that could help

No, Raz, it's ok to ask about this...... The reason that this was taken away is simple. Members were abusing it and deleting things that they shouldn't and had not right to seriously delete. Just because a thread author created a thread, doesn't always mean that they have the most sound judgment in when to use andor refrain from using that ability. It's far too easy for some to just up and use it and not look at the bigger picture and think about who their actions might be affecting and what the repercussions of their actions might mean. And then, in the end, this actually causes staff more issues because we then get bombarded with PMs from members saying that so-and-so deleted their posts on them without permission, that all of their creative works were lost, that they are upset, that they want it back, etc. FORTUNATELY, these things can indeed be retrieved. But it does take time to for administration to dig through and then re-post. So, you see, that can be an issue in and of itself. That said, in the end, I'd rather get a PM from someone with a simple link saying..... please delete this thread. It requires me to merely scroll down and click a check box and then a single button. Done. No hassle. Two seconds of my time.

Other things that I assume would help include Removing the option of uploading avatars removes the space it takes for the site to host the image, rather than hosting it off-site Removing unused forums PVP is locked, and honestly I think it gives a bad impression of the site, so why not remove it all together? Deleting unused accounts Registered, but never logged in again, or never posted such as the Dust accounts You could also promote the Supporter tags, a monthly or bi-monthly announcement reminding people that donations are appreciated, and give special perks to those who support, like bumping Supporters up to 750 PM's, rather than just 500 that regular members get.

Staff is already brainstorming ideas to help alleviate the stresses of space and quite a number of these ideas are ones we're already considering. But please keep ideas coming as the suggestions are very helpful.
Thread: Perhaps something that could help

Yeah I'm sure a bunch of little things will help. I'm all for limiting image sizes and uploading to the site. One thing I personally think might help the PM issue is instead of when people delete stuff from their inbox and sent box, it's deleted for good... as opposed to essentially moving to what is another folder, simply get a warning pop up that's pretty much says Are you sure? Because once you click yes, these will be gone for good. Or just keep the trash can and make it so that every week or so, it automatically cleans itself out... if that's possible.
Thread: Perhaps something that could help

Another suggestion for how to save space is to change the PM display into something similar to Gmail's conversation style, where you can see the hole discussion at once. Sort of like a private thread, in other words. That would eliminate the need to have numerous nested cites in every single message. The amount of data used to store a conversation would grow linearly instead of geometrically. Also, storing the same PM both as a sent message at the sender and a received message at the receiver sounds like a waste of space to me. I'm not sure that this is actually done, but I suspect that since you encourage people to delete their sent messages. Off course these are just suggestions and thoughts, and I understand that they are both might require some reprogramming to implement and therefore might not be the best ideas.
Thread: Perhaps something that could help

In talking to Vek about stuff, it's not so much space in the traditional sense as it is load. So threads and posts as they are, are fine. But when threads get large, that can be an issue especially when they are highly traffic'd. So threads like 'Random Info' which has exceeded 10k posts and going strong is an issue. Our PM system is also an issue since there currently is no cap though it is coming and is used daily not to mention nightly. Since no one feels the need to clean it out and this includes the inbox, sent box, trash box and any folder you may have created within, etc ALL taken together, it also causes issues. If, while we wait for the cap, people would actually clean out their PMs rather than wait for the cap, that would be helpful. And, if when we get the cap, people try to actually stay below it rather than hover close to its limit, that too would be helpful. Hope this helps clarify some things. I know it did even for myself. I'm no techie, so I found it beneficial even for me.
Thread: Perhaps something that could help

Oh, so it is the same problem as before. FYI, so everyone knows the stakes. Running the forum itself isn't terribly load intensive... What is, is the chat. Now, back in the day, I remember going tooth and nail with Vek over the fate of the chat - I saw it as an integral part of the community, and he saw it as a poorly-designed resource hog. Problem is, we're both right. Secondary problem is that the situation is deteriorating as the site grows and activity increases. There's only one real, long-term solution to this problem. MONEY!!! I don't know what Vek's current link for donations is, perhaps DA can help with that. Also, excuses for why you can't donate are even less then useless. Skip 'em. Nobody's gonna punish you for not ponying up - You'll just have to live with the guilt when the chat is disabled, and one by one, other forum features are stripped out because you just couldn't be arsed to throw a few bucks at the man who hosts a site you use every day, for free, swallowing the thousands of dollars of running costs without a word of complaint. okay that last part may have come on a bit strong. srsly, not being able to donate isn't a big deal
Thread: Perhaps something that could help

The chat is a good way to bring community together, but it does hog up a lot. Can't the chat be linked to, elsewhere? A free service, or something? I'm not sure. Not every knowledgable with these things. I do know that there is a huge difference between people who can't donate, and people who can, but don't. A lot of people live on fixed income, and don't have anything to spare. Others can, but don't. So instead of getting a large double mocha latte from the coffee shop - get a small, pocket the change, and give it away. Give it to people who deserve it, like this site, for providing you free entertainment and a place to come together. Five dollars a month could be spared, if you think about it, for those who can but don't. And I will, as soon as I get paid tomorrow, and if I can get that donation link because I can live without McDonald's for lunch for a day. McDonald's isn't going anywhere. But this site will, it'll be going and gone, unless people step up and support.
Thread: Perhaps something that could help

We tried free alternatives. They're universally awful, and none of them operate in the always-open topbar, which was a stringent requirement of mine. Having the chat -always there- instead of behind a few clicks makes a lot of difference in actually getting people IN the damn thing, and once people are in the chat, they talk, which keeps them online for longer, which drives up site metrics. At least, that was my logic at the time - It's no longer up to me and current management may make a different call.

Has cbox.ws been suggested? It's a pay-for service, but for what you get, I think it's pretty good. Includes user integration, which I'd assume is a big thing here, ad-free if you pay for it, works at high capacity. Ah, hell, here is the features link . It's 2 a month, flat rate, discounts given if purchasing for more than a month at a time. While it doesn't come with the tab at the top, you can easily do so with html coding to add a tab that opens and closes it.
