You can't see server-side source code, and you probably know that as well as I do.
I suppose if I knew that I can't see it then I don't waste my time viewing the source. Don't you think? And I don't even find my need into getting a code that forces people to read the rules before having the account activated. The people at PC here don't even waste their time knowing that you shouldn't spam,advertize,flame,etc. Because it's original in a community to not support ads,flames,spam,etc. unless you're a newbie in it.

That made absolutely no sense, and I believe I speak for everyone when saying just drop it.

I honestly don't see what the hell you are trying to fight with her about. She called you out on a lie, and your trying to turn it around and I don't even know what your trying to point out.

Wow... moving on.

Has anyone noticed a change in the CPanel logo, since I heard they did get bought out quite a few months ago.

Yay me!

Short-Version:

Not everybody was supposed to know they can't view vB php code.
n00bs won't waste their time reading rules if they probably will just scroll all the way down like I did.

I personally read the rules on occasion, I will admit to ignoring them if it is just another basic/generic forum.

I mean most don't take advantage of making their own rules.

I dont' think that PC is even that strict. The only reason most sites have rules like PC is to accomidate all members, young and old.

But I think that it doesn't matter rules or no rules, I think it just matters about the members on the community. If alot of them are easy to talk to then by word of mouth with the help of search engines they become more and more popular.

You said "I have my ways", implying that you knew some "secret method" of viewing server-side source code. Then you suddenly say you just never knew you couldn't view server-side source, even though you said you "had your ways" even after being told you couldn't view PHP code by viewing source.

And the thing is that n00bs don't know that they need something on the rules page to get their account validated in the first place.

(Admittedly, people like you make me lose faith in humanity. :/ How the hell can you be so bent on not reading forum rules that even when you're at the rules page you scroll to the bottom to see if it has the way to get yourself validated? Rules are really something that's generally a very good idea to read, validation code or not.)

The reason I originally made the validation thing? I was sick and tired of people going "I didn't know that wasn't allowed!" as an excuse for breaking rules. If I force everybody to read the rules, I can allow myself to be harsh, because then I can reasonably assume that people who break the rules do so in full awareness that they should not be doing it. (It's how terms of use for programs work - sure, people never read them, but you have no right to say "I didn't know you couldn't do this with the program!" because they specifically clicked a button to state that they had read and understood the terms of use.)

Is it just me, or do I get back and see flaming? *sigh*

Dragonfree, you should hide the activation code somewhere in the middle of the rules. XD For example, hide it at the end, but then put lorem ipsum after it so people who just scroll down won't find it.

Blah. Back properly in a couple of days.

"What science can there be more noble, more excellent, more useful for men, more admirably high and demonstrative than mathematics."
Benjamin Franklin

"Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty – a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture, without appeal to any part of our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trappings of paintings or music, yet sublimely pure and capable of a stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show."

Technically, I should put the real activation code in the middle of the rules and then a fake one at the end, which when entered will give you a page that says "-_- Go read the rules for real." :P

You've read my mind Thomas.:)

So I've been hearing that my ISP codetel.net.do actually let's you host your own server,if you have a static IP. But,I have to set the right ports before I can make it work. This probably explains why I can't host a NetBattle Server as well.

Why are you trying to host a NetBattle Server? Just for testing or actually something decent?

I am over netbattle, it was good at first, but after Diamond and Pearl come out we wont need it anymore. Since the Nintendo Wi-Fi connection will enable us to play with anyone not just people four feet away from you.

I'm trying to host a NetBattle server to see if people can connect to my computer. And if it works then I might be able to set it up for my website. If I can't then I might get somebody to host a server for me.

EDIT:

Somebody rate this layout. I also need suggestions on the link colors:

At first it looked great, but then I thought: "Doesn't this look a bit plain?" so...maybe a little LESS plain? Or maybe it's just the fact it doesn't have a banner. Anyway, codewise, it looks great. It looks similar to ryux.net.

I cringe at things I've said here in the past years.

Well who cares about that forum, the moddies are psycho over there!
That's a stupid question, considering it should be common sense that I care about it. Duh.

And they're not psycho. They uphold the rules, OMGZORZ.

How many mods have done that so far? One? --; I hate sweeping generalizations.
