            <description>Sometimes I am left wondering what runs through peoples minds... Honestly I didnt even want to make a post on my hub because I didnt want to start some huge issue with people that I know are putting a lot of work into the website and program so that we can keep on having fun on our games BUT!&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
There comes a point where you got to put down a foot. BYOND cant watch everything this is true and I can't blame them but they could try taking steps to cover as much ground as possible. BYOND has always been about its community however what do you do when all the retards flood the community and drive the good people away... One would thing you ban the retards but most of the people dont even get a slap on the hand on byond.. It is rather rare to even see it happen.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
The help section of the website from what im understanding at this point is run by the community but if thats the case why not have some of the community be put on the staff to help mod the community rather then keeping it limited. It be easy to hire a few hands I mean hell most games on byond do it you dont see anyone on byond being paid to help staff and mod a game... They do it for free not because they need to but because they want to.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Now many of you reading this might be wondering what the hell im talking about... Well im talking about the comments left on my hub here. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.byond.com/members/Ac19189?command=view_comments&amp;post=38804#comments&quot;&gt;http://www.byond.com/members/Ac19189?command=view_comments &amp;post=38804#comments&lt;/a&gt; Now yes I can ban him from my hub and delete his posts but then this dude gets off free with only a ban from my hub.. I dont know how many of you would act but if it was me spamming I could care less if I was banned from a hub if I really cared about going to the hub I wouldnt have spammed it to start with how is being banned from something you dont even plan on coming back to a slap on the hand...&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
It isnt an from what iv seen people that get reported only get reported because of a racist comment other then that all other comments go ignored even if the persons spamming up hubs with cursing or other stupid crap.. How is it people can go on a hub leave a page long post of nothing but the word FUCK YOU and get off free like it never happened but the one person that leaves a comment thats racist such as I dunno &quot;I dont like jewish people&quot; gets banned from the website for a few days because hes racist against jewish people what the hell is wrong with that... I dunno EVERYTHING...?&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
If anyone wants to join on in feel free to comment this post or my good friends post or even our fourms... &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.byond.com/members/Perpetr8rthePerpetu8r?command=view_post&amp;post=45872&quot;&gt;http://www.byond.com/members/ Perpetr8rthePerpetu8r?command=view_post&amp;post=45872&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;

            <description>It really makes me mad when you host a game an give everyone a list of rules to follow in attempts to make your life easy. An they totally ignore you thinking they have some ungodly right to play the game your hosting. I mean clearly they are ignoring you an the rules an your so busy you dont have the time to be on the game every second of your life yet people think you should be. I was hosting PRPR then I got busy with other things so I went on an worked on getting it done checked in on PRPR every few ten or so minutes an every time I come back id have atleast a list of ten people breaking the rules that I just clearly yelled into there ears ten minutes ago!&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
I makes me mad that I need to shut down the game just because some idiots have a mental deficiency to anything doing with the rules but I dont have time to GM an people are crying that im not doing my job. Its sad when you think about it but not much I can do about it with the lack of GM's PRPR has now a days I can't just call in staff. An I havent seen to many people that would really be a good GM. So here we sit with no staff on other then myself. I was hoping things might turn out ok but shortly after going afk it was clear how well that was going to work out.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
So yah I guess thats the end of my rant... Seeing as I have clearly said everything that needs to be said other then the fact that most people are freaking retards. Half of the idiots that are sitting there being stupid wouldnt go out an break the law so why in the world do they sit there an break the rules just because its a game. Rules are made for a reason not just because people think its something thats fun to wave in peoples faces its ment to keep order. GAH!</description>

            <description>I guess I just feel like posting don't really have a topic in mind. I happen to see that rarescar is for the most part leaving the internet. I mean its possible it wont happen but it's to early to say for sure. It seems my week is just getting worse hope I get to the end of this week soon. It's times like this you want to sleep the week away but then remember you have people that will wake you up. Arg curse the evil people! I also see byond updated the members page by adding some little bar to the top of the page.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
When they had just released the update the bar was all messed up on my ie but worked fine on firefox but it seems to be fixed now thats good. Another thing I happen to notice last time I posted my message never hit the front page of the byond members home. I wonder if it was a bug or if they have a new system that they select what blogs show up on that or maybe its views based. Who knows....&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Let's see what else is knew lost my cell an just got the replacement yesterday. That sucked lost all my numbers an what not so I wasnt to happy about that but I did take the chance to upgrade the phone to a newer model. I guess that counts for something? Anyway is it me or has there be a huge popup of Pokemon games on byond an most of them use PRPR's ideas.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
I find it annoying how people steal one anothers ideas now a days there isnt a thing on byond that hasnt been stolen at some point or another. I guess thats what you get when you are in a free type community I guess it makes the job simple for them. Meh though im sure many of them would get mad if someone stole something from a game they made. So it just kind of rolls down hill.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
I could go on for hours about how its bad to steal but everyones heard it before so meh its pointless to repeat something thats been said like a half a million times. Also changing topics again im sure some of the people that were not in game at the time are wondering why the game is down.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Well to be honest I just don't feel like hosting it at this moment in time I will no doubt start hosting it maybe in one to two days from now. It won't be down long im sure many of you will have nothing to do but thats how life is at times. Let's talk about the new Link Park cd that just came out like four or five weeks ago aka Minutes to Midnight.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
A few people I have sent it to have said they don't really care for it personally I like it so meh. LP said they wanted to step away from the normal type music they make aka like rock/rap type music an try something a bit new for the cd. An if you ask me it worked I think its a great cd I think its better then the ones they released before it anyway.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
The other ones were just meh dull they seemed like they were trying to hard to sell another huge hit rather then make a good song. Anyway if you got the cd let me know what you think an feel free to give your point of views on it. Let's see not really much else to talk about so I guess ill just wrap it up an post unless I can think of something else to talk about in the next few minutes.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Meh guess there is nothing else I really want to rant or talk about. I mean yah sure I have more going on but I don't really feel like sharing everything that an you would be here reading this post for hours just because I wouldnt shut up about things like politics, law, etc etc stupid freakin doctors &gt;:! *shakes fist* JUST WAIT ILL GET YOU ALL! &gt;: BWHAHAHA lolol *runs away*</description>

            <description>Well as you guessed from the title of the post here. There is nothing at all to freaking do! You know it's been a good amount of time sense my last rant. Meh.. I might be posting because im just down in the wind a little bit but I just thought of a few things I can rant about so here we go!&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
One thing I find funny is how iv seen people come in a game an yell at people for commenting there blogs on byond not because of something they said but because they are not friends with this person. To be honest I think its a bit funny to watch someone yell at a person in game for posting on there blog an not being friends with this person. I guess some people might want it that way so I guess in a way it might be a cool idea to make it so you can set your blogs private an only people who are on your friends list can view it?&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Just an idea though. There are lots of things that could be changed in the members area that would make it better but it always comes down to money an time. Another thing I want to rant on is to the &quot;to be continued&quot; BS OF DOOM ON ANIME! I swear it drives me crazy! It almost be worth waiting two to four weeks to have one long release of the anime with no to be continued bs! Now I already know alot of people are going to call me stupid for saying something like that so meh yah.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Another thing I hate is when you pay for a program an then it says free lifetime updates an upgrades. Then a few years down the road they stop releasing builds an release a new version an then want you to pay for the upgrade! I just ran into a program that did that to me I find it rather annoying I paid 25 bucks for it a few years back then I go to upgrade an the new version costs 25 bucks new but the owner wants me to pay 19 bucks for an upgrade version! WTH?!?&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Grah so annoying! Then hes like well the upgrade package you got was updates an upgrades for a lifetime on version 3 an he just released version 4.... So gay..... Speaking of gay MSN IS GAY! God I hate it with a passion now a days if its not allowing me to use my avatar its screwing up an not sending files at full speeds or some random shit like that. &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
I dont know how people can release programs like that with bugs I mean sure I can see it if they like are a one to ten man crew but msn is like made up of MILLIONS of people they should be able to release a bug free RUNNING version of a program an have updates or patchs for it inside a day of finding some bug with that kind of staff.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
It seems like the people are paid to sit around an do nothing if you ask me. I dont know... Is it me or does all music now a days sound the same for the most part atleast beat wise I mean sure the lyrics an beat are always something new but the basic beat behind it is always the same. I want to know when someone is going to make something worth hearing! Ok im done ranting I could go on alot more but I think ill save you all the pain an shut up. LOL</description>

            <description>Well I just happen to see that the amount of comments on my post have been going down an down some more. XD I find it funny because its like really just going down not out of order or anything. An the most commments I got were during a heated war with another game an the topic was like all over BYOND because of the huge deal everyone made out of it. I mean sure its true that I do post alot an most of you dont want to waste your time reading page after page on crap you dont even care about.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
However I dont even see the point of this blog fad. To be honest most people dont give a crap about your life an the few that do are people you talk to on msn or something. So why do people even have blogs on top of that why is this area called a blog when all people use it for are news they find on the net or just to share some random usless bs...? Isnt a blog ment to fall under talking about one person or one thing or some what in a limit range of what the blog was made based on or something like that? I guess what im saying is why is it called a blog if all its used for is a few links an images?&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Last I looked most blogs have someone ranting or talking about them selfs or something to that effect not just posting a youtube link because they think its funny or randomly making stupid posts such as a simple &quot;LOL MADE YOU LOOK!&quot; or something to that effect.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
I dont know maybe im just weird. Whats everyone else think...?</description>

            <description>Well as most of you might have guessed im posting because im bored. To be honest I really have no idea what to talk about but meh. I guess I can rant on a few things.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
You know I got some funny comments on the rants before an one that stuck out was people selling myspace accounts. Why in the world would someone buy a myspace account... Much less just for the friends on it. To me that seems rather stupid has anyone even seen a myspace account being sold on ebay before? To be honest I dont even see how you could sell something like that...&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Lets see... I just got back from running around town an while I was in town I saw a good deal for a flat screen 47&quot; plasma tv an im thinking about buying it just for the hell of it. Still trying to make up my mind anyone that has one feel free to throw in some comments.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Also got done changing my images on here kind of got bored with the one before. Seems to be a rather busy week. Then again really what week isnt busy now a days huh? You know I was looking at some of the new computers out for sale today an I saw most of them came with vista an when I asked if I could have vista removed an XP installed they said no. Turns out the hardware doesnt work with anything but vista you know to me that is just the dumbest bs I have ever heard! Really alot of people are saying vista is awesome but I think its total crap as is I think sp2 is crap.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Im running windows xp home sp1 now im happy with it so I dont know why people cry about it plus you know people said windows me was a buggy os but to be honest I had less issues with ME then iv had with XP so I dont know. In all fairness windows 98se hardly works with anything now a days an windows xp is just buggy. Windows ME ran great for the most part ever now an then id get a issue but nothing that couldnt be fixed. Now before you all flame me for bashing vista I have installed it an I have used it. Honestly I had errors right out of the damn box. I started the damn thing an what do I get errors. Now im sure it hasnt happen to other people an it was just a one in a million thing but even after I reinstalled a fresh copy of the os it ran slow an bugged up easy for me. To be honest vista uses more cpu an ram then windows xp.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
I hate how the stronger computers get the more the os an other things need more of that power. To be honest I think its bs I rather run something with lots of power an then run an os that uses little power an get fast speeds with less options then something with more options but runs slower. I guess im just the type that doesnt like to wait for the computer to catch up. &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
I guess im done ranting I could go on an on but I dont think many people want to listen to me type like five pages of rant after rant.</description>

            <description>The start of this whole rant is here &lt;a href=&quot;http://members.byond.com/?command=view_post&amp;post=27670&quot;&gt;http://members.byond.com/?command=view_post&amp;post=27670&lt;/a&gt; after posting it I thought of some more stuff I could rant on so I started typing another post.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
I just thought of some more stuff I could rant on so heres another post because people are already reading the first one an I dont want to edit it so they need to go back an read it all over again. That just be evil if I did that...&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
I remember reading a heated topic about relationships on our forums aka game forums. An well I thought I should bring it up an share my side of the whole thing. Im not trying to point fingers or anything im just speaking in common terms.  Anyway the whole thing that caught my eye an made me post my mind about the topic was the fact that someone brought up the fact a relationship should be over if there is no sexual intercourse after three years to be honest I dont see how anyone could think that way but then again its a few world an everyone can think however they want you know.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Someone pointed out that it just means the relationship is going strong I agree with this I dont see a need to have sex just to be in a meaningful relationship id really like people to post on this so I can get some points of view because if you ask me a relationship is something that allows two people to be emotionally connected to one another an have your partner support you in your time of need or just to be there for you an to have someone to spend your life with. I honestly dont see how sex comes into the whole mess I mean sure its part of a relationship some ways but really relationship more or less means two people being emotionally attached to one another it doesnt mean anything physically.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Just a throw in note here for everyone reading im not just speaking about sex in general on this topic its just one example I think there is more to the physical side then just sex...&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Sure you are all more then welcome to correct me if im wrong about it but thats how I see it im not calling people that think a relationship is just about sex shallow or self centered or anything dont get me wrong im looking at it from both sides im just saying to me it means this so dont start a flame war on me if you dont see eye to eye with me about it.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Shifting gears big time here is it me or has anyone else notice that google an other big time websites have been going down every now an then. I wonder whats up with that because its not really normal for that stuff to happen. Another thing everyones already heard about it an its really old news that google is trying to buy up youtube atleast thats what I heard my question is why in the hell would youtube even think about selling from the start?&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Seems now a days all you here is google, youtube, myspace its getting rather annoying I mean the internet went through that asl bs faze you open a chat with someone an it was A/S/L? Now its more along the lines of hey you got myspace? Its rather annoying it makes me ask myself when the hell will this myspace faze end because honestly its freaking annoying. As many of you know I was ranting on about myspace in the topic before this so yah.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
You know myspace an stuff like that have websites that supply custom made themes etc so whens BYOND going to get its own website where people can go browse themes avatars an what not. One would think someone would have made something like that but you dont ever see anything about BYOND outside of well BYOND so yah it seem though the player base is large its still not well known.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Its kind of sad because BYOND has a load of good games just not many players to play all of them. Then again BYOND would just die if the load got much worse. It seems like it has a hard time just managing the amount of users it has now. Though I guess they are doing well the website doesnt lag to much of the time an most of the time its working good so meh who knows maybe at some point they will have better stuff to better the site for all of us.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Lets just hope BYOND doesnt go out on us because if BYOND packed up an closed its doors... Who knows what most of us would do with our free time I know I have no online life outside of BYOND I mean sure I have a normal life but when I get online all I really do is talk an talk on BYOND games an time to time play a game. That reminds me of a post I made a while back though I dont support adult games on BYOND it never hurts to be open to the idea so with that being said I dont see why byond doesnt make an adult channel for 18+ users that go into there profile an change it to adult thus giving them access to this channel an the games in it.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
This would allow the few people that want some kind of porn game or whatever you wanna call it to have it on BYOND without the risk of BYOND having to deal with legal crap I mean because lets face it even after the games go down they still get loads of users. As perverted as it may be they have a player base. I would never get caught in a game like that but still I could understand some people playing it an really having an adult channel would open them up to having more members because it would draw in a older player base aka people with money to spend. So it kind of works out for both BYOND an the people with enough nuts to make the game.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Again it was just an idea I dont really support the idea but it never hurts to bring something up right? Anyway shifting gears yet again I see alot of people are talking about vista to be honest I would never use it much less upgrade to it. As is im going to stick with windows xp home sp1 until hell is nuked. If you ask me vista is just more crap no one really needs the only reason microsoft released it was to keep ahead of everyone in os releases but the os is just lame it does nothing better then XP so why are people even using it.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
I mean sure some people like to stay up to date with the newest things but I dont see how switching to new stuff that runs a higher risk of breaking from an old version that you know works fine. So maybe someone can explain just why they would do that. Who knows some people might have a vaild reason I know some computers come with windows vista now but you know when you are at the store you can pick to have them install windows xp rather then having vista hell you can go as far as asking them for your copy of windows xp home when you are buying a new computer because when you but that new computer you are paying for a copy of windows xp. &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
I guess im done with the rant now maybe ill add more but one things for sure I doubt it will happen tonight an if it does ill no doubt edit this one.</description>

            <description>I guess its random news who knows... Changed the layout because I got bored out of my mind. I like it rather simple but works well so ill no doubt keep it until I get bored with it again. On another note I hear that sirus just found out his uni started this week and not next week so hes already missed three days of school.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Now I dont know about you guys but I find that funny. I guess my humor is a bit twisted. It also seems things are calming down in BYOND around the Pokemon area of it so thats always good. Seems like every other time we turn around we are at war with our own staff members or some other game or at a friends neck with a knife for some reason or another...&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
I really havent had to much time to make a bunch of posts on here or just rant about random things then again now a days there isnt much to talk about. Atleast not for a long post I mean sure you have a random rant like this that you can smash like ten rants into one long post but it seems rather dull to do something like that. An it seems more of a waste of time an space if you dont atleast have the post atleast long enough you need to scroll a bit. I mean I go on some of the blogs here around the BYOND members area an every now an then I see blogs that have a post thats only one or two lines long. I dont see how people can post so little an be happy with it.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
If your going to go on a rant or post atleast make it some what long so people dont waste there time coming to your blog. I mean after all every time someone posts something the blog area on the memebers homepage shows that someone posted something. If you ask me that really isnt what should happen but you know who am I to judge the system. If you ask me the people that are active posters an blogers should maybe get posted up there but in most cases it shouldnt be up if people want to listen to you rant on an on they should be friends not random people just looking for something to read on the homepage of the members area... &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Then again I guess it could be worse it could be forums an not a blog but that would be hell... So yah also I saw that proboards now has a built in chat system I thought that was kind of cool because now you dont need to like load apps into your forums to have chats but it be just as much of a pain to switch over to it for some people so I guess for people starting off its kind of a cool option. I wonder if at some point BYOND plans on adding a members chat area or something to that effect to make keep people from like bloging random lame posts.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Though you know what really qualifies as a lame or short post. I mean if it makes you laugh or something then I guess it got the point by the person if they laughed right? However I still think blog posts should atleast be longer then a few lines. Atleast a paragraph maybe three that to me seems like something worth posting but meh I guess we all have our own way of doing things.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Jumping gears here I think BYOND needs to come up with a better way of doing the layout an what not I mean sure its nice to have an adv user option for people that want to waste time editing the css an what not. Though if you ask me I think BYOND needs some kind of browser based cgi or something that allows you to click the bar or area an get a list of options. Like example you click the header for this main menu box.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
It give you something like Text color, Font, Background color then also give you a few options like maybe transparent, border etc.. Something that would make it easy for people that dont know anything about css much less hex colors to even do it them selfs. I mean sure they have a few things down near the default css that explains it all but stil if you ask me its just being kind of lazy in not making an interface that is user friendly with almost mindless editing.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Then again im sure they are not done with the members area an might plan on doing something to that effect later on when they have more time an are not so focused on the client update. Im sure if someone wanted to make a stand alone the BYOND staff might even use it to help out users never know. Stuff more odd then that has happened before for example AOL is now a free client so long as you have an internet connection. Now who would have thought a company as large as AOL going free? Then again I guess with sbc monopolizing the internet an taking over most of the internet with the 12 bucks a month for dsl internet would cut back on AOL's funds.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
All I know is AOL accounts are free now an so is the client. Not that id ever download an use that crap. I mean sure some tools in AOL are not that bad like the computer fixy thing isnt all that bad.. I cant remember the stupid keyword so shush.... Anyway that seemed to work well an back when I was on AOL I liked the IM option but the thing was so damn slow an took up so much cpu. I liked AOL an I hardly disconnected unless I was flooded. In most cases it ran great for hours on end but as soon as I updated to dsl an had the option to still run AOL I uninstalled it before I even ran it again. To be honest AOL's client is way to much of a cpu an ram hog to run on a computer an if you have a pick between not running it or running it an could pick without it effecting your internet in most cases you would go with no AOL.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Again shifting gears here the new MSN Live I dont know about all of you but I think it sucks more then AOL. Why you ask? Simple iv ran into a few little bugs with the new 7.5 MSN Live for example if someone with an old version of MSN an MSN Plus sends you a message over the char limit of MSN it will crash MSN. What in the hell kind of BS is that? It doesnt stop there oh no now with this great new layout comes a 100meg more ram jump an a 5 to 50% more cpu jump from the old 7.0. I myself run 7.0 an have the install files so I never need to switch to live. I was happy with 7.0 even if it had the nudge bug to be honest it was one of the best versions of MSN I have ever seen come out yet.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
So I dont see whats so great about the new MSN Live.. With more bells comes more cpu an ram usage an even if your computer can support it like mine can not a issue for me it still sucks to be bumped offline because someone sent you a long message im sorry but that just doesnt fly with me.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
It seems that this post that once started off as a bunch of small rants turned into a few rants an a few that are short but mostly all of them are long. Its odd when you start typing you dont really know what to put but then you get going on a few topics an next thing you know your typing five pages on a few rants an for the few lucky people in this world they can get on any topic an rant about it for pages just because they are good at blogging an ranting. I wish I was like that but im not. I honestly tried posting atleast once every day or every other day on some of my old blogs an it blew up in my face because I never had enough to talk about. So I tried it every week that again blew up in my face.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
It seems the only time I ever really rant on an on is when I come on to really rant about something so I kind of envy the people that can just start ranting about anything random right off the top of there head I think its kind of cool. Then again most of thoughs people spend hours on myspace an what not just writing loads an loads of posts etc. Honest I dont see whats up with this myspace trend....&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
I myself have no myspace account an have never been on myspace for longer then ten minutes to read something im being forced to I have maybe been to myspace like ten times last year an maybe twice this year. I dont see how something like that can really take off becuase sure you can find people to talk to an stuff like that but unless they are really interesting its boring as hell to talk to them an in most cases people on myspace are kids or teens. An well both kids an teens are more into flame wars then talking. Plus I dont see a need to sign into some random page to hear about this girl an how her life sucks beyond words.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
My life sucks as is I dont need to here about someone elses life an how it sucks in most cases what they think of as sucks really is just because they dont get to have something there way. Then again some people have vaild points on myspace an what not so yah I dont know I just dont see how sitting at a computer for hours on end is a good way to meet like billions of friends you will never get to see face to face. Why not just hang out after school or find some friends around town it seems more fun to me then again im kind of an outgoing person even if it doesnt seem like it a good amount of the time.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Why is it there are never any good games online anymore other then the few you have already played? It seems every time I go looking for a new game to play an get into its something I have played or its just flippin retarded. I mean sure you have the few games that are like cool to play like matrix online an what not but they want 23 bucks a month I dont think so... For that much you can just go buy a damn movie to watch or something. Yes iv tried runescap in fact I was playing it for a friend like yesterday night that crap is so boring I almost passed out playing. Its like listening to grandma complain to you about how you need to put your shirt in your pants an then not letting up on it because you wont do it so you hear it for hours.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Oh also on some other news BRI was disbanded so yah I wish them the best of luck with whatever it is they plan on doing now seeing as it almost seems like they have just stopped using BYOND all together then again I guess that kind of happens to most small type businesses you just never hear about them. Though most of the time they shut down because lack of funds or something in this case BRI shut down because its owner just didnt want to run it anymore. So I guess it was a kind of odd shut down in a way who knows they might come back at some point...&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Anyway I guess im done typing im sure I killed someone with this post knowing most people they stopped reading it because AOL signs in faster then they could read this whole post... o.O....&lt;br/&gt;

            <description>Well ok I don't make many posts for public blogs much less anything else. However I thought id bring forth my comments on a few matters. Well for starters many of you know me as the host of PRPR well a few days ago I doing my hub scouting ran into a game with a better rank then us.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
So I moved to check it out. To my shock it was no only a rip but the person had been using a src that a friend of mine released to the public just because he cant work on it anymore. Now sure im totally cool with everyone trying for there own games. Even if it is a rip... However I think bribery is rather low... You know its times like this make you wonder hey why doesnt byond step in?&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Sure everyone has the right to use byond how they want so long as its within the TOS that well byond doesnt really even have at the moment. However if you tried to use bribery on a cop or to get a job. You not only get your ass back handed to you but you also might face jail time if its a cop. So my question is why doesnt byond step in?&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
I mean sure I think its fine to give byond members something for paying for byond but I think a rule should really put in place to stop people from telling users they must add them to the top three of there fav list in order to get something? LAST I LOOKED! Byond setup byond membership so that people that pay can get something extra if the owners see it fit not bribe members for rank... Like heres a good example goditz's game if you remove the game from your rank he will delete your save.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
If you ask me it seems like the members are paying money to be forced to do things because power hungry assholes want rank... I mean sure this byond system is still in the starting stages however the biggest mistake byond has made was taking the voice from the mass and only giving it to people that pay for that voice.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Then again what can you really do you know? I just hope that the byond staff can manage to work out a system that more or less runs better. You know a system that is something like the newgrounds system wouldnt be bad. Its based to keep a balance an make the voice of everyone heard but the ones that speak out louder are the ones that have been around longer an more active.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
I mean sure I dont mind paying for byond but some of the games in the top ranks wouldnt be there if the public had a voice. As is the games that make it to the top are rarely good or even orignal however some are ill give some of the games that but alot of them are there just because the owner has money... I dont think thats really fair but really who am i to fight over it im one person in the millions of people on the internet this is mostly why my voice will just go silent just like the others before me that gave up.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
So what does everyone think about this I mean really leave a comment tell me what you think... Does anyone find it really fair in the end?&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
On another topic PRPR is going to be giving out a free byond membership as an event but we dont really have a set date or event planned yet. However you know just letting everyone know so as many people as possible can get a chance at it. As a note this event is being sponsered an paid for by the people over at Bloody Rose Inc you can find more info at the Bloody Rose Website here. &lt;a href=&quot;http://bloodyroseinc.web-freebies.com/&quot;&gt;http://bloodyroseinc.web-freebies.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
It should be a fun trip they people from Bloody Rose seem rather fun an what not so im sure we will see many years of collaboration. Also on the side note ill more then likely be hosting my own byond membership event.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
I have been thinking about holding one for a good amount of time but a few things always stopped me because you know people join games play for a few months then leave it be some what annoying to pay for someone that joined for the membership then left after they got it doesnt seem fair to all the people that stick around you know. Anyway we will see how it rolls down hill.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Shifting gears again. I been working on a file information project that im hoping will be some help to the mass population of do it urselfers that are out to find out how to fix their computers. Though its starting off slow im hoping I can manage to add a good amount of files to the list of info soon to start it off.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
ONCE MORE! Changing the topic. Yes I know I have alot to talk about but this should be the last one. It seems more an more now a days I see rips popping up like weeds. Games that are ripped from released src codes, stolen src codes hell now we even have staff members taking the code of a game and because they think they can do better claiming it as there own. Now im not going to point fingers but they know who they are an im rather mad about it. Some of this stuff even starts because some idiot jumps the gun based on what they think or heard an find it pointless to even try talking it over. This alone is just stupid as hell. I have friends iv known for ages turning on one another because they are to stuck up in there power hungry world to talk about it.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
I can say that I dont plan on helping anymore games in coding of any kind from this point on unless its under a legal contract. Mostly because just how people abuse the kindness of people. Like im sure heres an example say you spent a good day fixing an recoding a game to help someone then one of the staff turns around removes your gm an all the owners gm an changes the name an a few other things an claims it for there own.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Then on top of that giving ZERO (0) CREDIT TO WHERE ITS DUE! Honestly thats just enough to piss you off an to make matters worse its not even why you are really pissed. Yes im talking about myself but im not going to point fingers people know who they are so no point in going past that. Whats done is done but as a note for everyone. Dont burn a bridge then try an go back over it. Meaning think before you do something because it could be the wrong thing to do.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Back on the topic of rips I think byond should really force out most of the rips honestly if you didnt code it then you shouldnt be able to publish it without DIRECT PERMISSION from the person that did code it. Then again there is alot about byond that could be changed but nothing is ever going to be done so im done ranting have fun bashing me or adding comments etc w/e...</description>
