    Are you accepting Crypto payments

    I’m an Elder Millennial, any belief that I would ever be able to afford to retire disappeared around the same time I got ousted from my former workplace at Lehman Brothers.

    Are you accepting Crypto payments

    And now you just summed up why I have no investment vehicles.

    Are you accepting Crypto payments

    It’s not about the risk/reward for me. It’s about the ethics and sustainability of the thing. See also how many crypto currencies are, and continue to be, active scam projects.

    Are you accepting Crypto payments

    I didn't. I made a conscious choice not to get in on this in 2009 when I absolutely could have. The only mistake I made is assuming the bubble would get this big before the inevitable happens. This is why I don't use it for anything.

    Your Most Recent Purchase

    I ordered two mugs from Very British Problems as a cheeky Christmas present to myself.

    Are you accepting Crypto payments

    I’d rather accept Monopoly money sent to me in the mail ahead of any crypto currency.

    Ever received a questionable PM?

    I’ve had emails just like that for XF and told them if they were legit they could buy it themselves and not need me!

    Superman coming in 2025

    James Bond has 25 official films, 2 direct knock-off films, and a litany of other media. It's never been entirely clear if it's the same person or not, but it's loosely implied both to have been, and not been, the same character. Then of course we have Doctor Who which is essentially 300+...

    Superman coming in 2025

    I will be controversial, I don't like it. I don't like where it's going for the obvious reason that it's still taking a leaf out of the MCU playbook. What I really want in a superhero movie, at this point, is the mood of something like Superman - the original 1978 movie. Where it's not about...

    What are you nostalgic about?

    Google debuted in 1998, and by 2000 they'd already started doing their 'Google Doodle' stuff, I remember seeing a Dilbert one in 2000. And Google was a proper gamechanger in that era, compared to AltaVista etc. Though I remember some of the early attempts to fix the search engine landscape...

    XenForo XenForo 2.4 coming soon?

    The problem with making it a clickable option is the mechanics underneath of how you actually store that preference. Yes, XF has per-user preferences but it's actually a whole set of subtasks for 1) loading that preference and turning it into CSS efficiently, 2) exposing a UI for that toggle...

    Case Study Building Cafe Creative

    I've been trickling content out a little bit - I'm still getting used to Invision's take on TipTap and the little before-after arrows threw me for a loop to start with. I'd put in a quote box to put some quoted content into, put the content in that, and wasn't immediately sure how to then write...

    XenForo XenForo 2.4 coming soon?

    Not sure I agree that the 'putting things at the bottom is better on mobile' but I'll wait to try it before reserving judgement. Interesting how much 'we don't want no Markdown' has produced, especially since MD will by the looks of it be the default experience with no way to disable it. No...

    Customization Does a shoutbox kill a forum?

    I didn’t mean search traffic - I meant human traffic. People tend to visit the chat, do their social thing and not visit the rest of the forum. When you don’t have a chat, people visit off-topic sections to chat in between other posts.

    Case Study Day 1 Forward- Something new

    It can absolutely, but the reason I point it out is because I think I remember going to your site when you first posted and I remember seeing something about flat earth. (Correct me if I'm wrong but you seem to have cut that section now) Something like that is an area of discussion my natural...

    Favorite domain provider?

    They should be. They are, however, not at all equal. Putting aside the domains that have specific registrars where you can't get the domain except through specific companies (you aren't buying a .ly from Namecheap), there's some registrars that take the proverbial with pricing. For example I...

    Case Study Day 1 Forward- Something new

    I have seen this niche tackled before but I think this is the most professional take I've seen yet. The thing that I can't quite wrap my head around, as someone who is deeply, deeply cynical is whether this is more about popularising discussion for the purposes of legitmising or deconstructing...

    General Annoying things about other forums

    Unless you're so desperate for numbers that you leave some of it there!

    General Annoying things about other forums

    Sure sign of a newbie admin, or very possibly a very old school admin back after a very extended hiatus. Though it's fair to say that roleplay does lean slightly harder into this by using boards as locations to post in and sometimes a more expressive board list implies where people can set...

    What is the creepiest thing to have ever happened to you?

    I've always been a night owl, do my best thinking well into the tiny hours.
