What's with all the double threads ???
They even have different number of posts ... and I know they didn't start like that !!!
This is wierd !!!
CClark posted 11-20-98 05:14 PM ET
You must have had too much of that watered down stuff Americans call Beer. It jsut isn't healthy for you DJ. Stick to Molson or Labatt!
There is another thread deveoted to the double-nexii. Based on some observations, I think it might have something to do with thread contents not updating when you check a thread. (eg. the thread has 7 messages, but only 4 show up and it looks complete.)
When you hit the "refresh" button though, the other messages show up! This has happened to me twice.
Hopefully they'll fix it. It's kind of annoying.
DJ RRebel posted 11-20-98 05:19 PM ET
That problem has been happening for a while now !!!
I see several threads have posts that aren't there until you refresh !!!
DJ RRebel posted 11-20-98 05:22 PM ET
The double threads are only in the system once, because my post count didn't change at all .. it should have gone up by at least 20-30 for the duplicate threads if they were actually in the system twice !!!

DJ, talked to a computer whiz here on campus, all indications are that this whole damn forum is gonna crash, eventually. Maybe Firaxis knows this and is preparing to put back the new or old forums. The system is being "weighed down" or something like that. I don't know all this technical jargon but start saving your data!!

It's pretty obvious that the designers did not forsee such heavy usage. Either that, or we're unsuspecting beta testers!
Of course, it probably wouldn't be so bad if we didn't have so many people posting useless stuff just to run their post counts up!
And since this is one of DJ's threads, there is something I just have to get off of my chest.
:0 >
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
There, that feels a little better. Wait...

Okay. Much better now.
If you read this, my apologies Maya.
BTW, Maya and DJ, any plans to meet in real life? I mean, you're both in Montreal, right? (Or is it one Montreal, one Quebec City?)
DJ RRebel posted 11-20-98 05:38 PM ET
lol .. maybe one day I guess we'll have to .. I think I'll plan to meet her .. distract her ... then steal her quotes .. I think they're awsome !!!
As for her meeting me .. lol .. the obvious question arises .. when ???
She's always studying/working/K-Boxing/joging/makingsuperlongpostshere
although she seems really interesting though !!!
Yo_Yo_Yo_Hey posted 11-20-98 06:47 PM ET
Kick Boxing?? Wow, I should watch myself when I visit family in Montreal!
The only one remotely close to me is Domk, I'm afraid me, or no one, wants to meet him. So I'm stuck by myself in CT waiting for SMAC

The forums are working just fine, as they always have. There is, however, some very bad acid in the water supply.

AU runs up to the resoiver, hacking, sneezing and coughing along the way, and pours several hundred bottles of nyquil into the supply.

Spoe posted 11-20-98 07:38 PM ET
Yeah, about 75 miles south of you, DHE.
And also, Montreal is a good city; I visited there fairly often when I lived in NY(Lake Placid, about 1 1/2 hours south of Montreal).
Shining1 posted 11-20-98 07:39 PM ET
*Ahem*. Talking of remoteness - I don't suppose anyone is planning to visit N.Z soon...

Shining 1:
Actually, one of the people I work with is there now. It was a 30-year dream of his to visit N.Z.(South Island). We just got a postcard from there and he said he has had a perfect visit.
Yo_Yo_Yo_Hey posted 11-20-98 09:56 PM ET
Yeah, I am pretty close to you guys. Lets get together & have a keg party(orange juice for SnowFire)when SMAC ships!
Then again, I wouldn't trust my car to the otherside of town, I sure as hell wouldnt trust it to NJ!!!
Your faithful & hell-bent NIMadier general,

DJ RRebel posted 11-21-98 01:08 AM ET
LOL ... we should all take a month off when SMAC comes out and hook up our PCs in one massive network !!!
As for Montreal being great .. aside from the economy ... it is !!!
Really great city .. if you ever plan to visit though, come in the summer !!!
In the summer we have the world's largest Jazz, Comedy and Fireworks festivals !!!
Night life is good and diverse !!!
DJ RRebel posted 11-23-98 10:24 AM ET
Can anyone tell me what's happening to the forum ???
Roland posted 11-23-98 10:34 AM ET
My best guess: it's transcending to NIMhood. Reminds me of Voyager. You know, the strange things happening to Kes before she transformed into an energy being or some crap like that...
Seriously, I have no idea. Only a new observation: First, I had thought it has only problems with the date, sorting posts correctly by time. But just one of my posts landed behind one that was about 10 minutes older. And the multiple threads are fakes: they got the same URL.
Only possible help: threads not older than 24 hours - maybe they are unaffected.
MikeH II posted 11-23-98 10:35 AM ET
All the info I've got is in forum diagnostics.
DJ RRebel posted 11-24-98 02:01 PM ET
OK ... cool .. thanks ,, things seem to be somewhat back to normal !!!
What do you all think ??? Is it ???
Gord McLeod posted 11-24-98 09:31 PM ET
I can't remember offhand if there are any other Torontonians around here... if not, that probably means DJ and Maya are among the closest to my location. I'm about 5 hours away from them.
DJ RRebel posted 11-25-98 12:00 AM ET
Gord ... that's not far enough .. I can smell the stench the Maples Leafs have collected over the years from here !!! lol
Anyways, I think I do remember someone else from T.O., unfortuanately, I have no idea who it is what-so-ever !!!
But let me know if you ever decide to make your way over here !!!
DHE_X2 posted 11-25-98 12:38 AM ET
Its just a hop to the left.
And a step to the right
lets do the time warp again.
DJ RRebel posted 11-25-98 12:48 AM ET
I wonder if SMAC will have any wonder in time travelling, even if it's impossible !!!
I hope not ... that would really mess upgame play big time !!!
DJ RRebel posted 11-25-98 12:49 AM ET
LMAO ,, did I say wonder ???
I meant secret project !!!
oooops !!!
Yo_Yo_Yo_Hey posted 11-25-98 03:25 PM ET
FIRAXIS is getting very angry at your constant comparison of SMAC to CivII!!! They're 2 VERY different games!! It's secret project now, we have new technologies, you aren't researching 'fire' anymore!!!
YYYH, FIRAXIS spokesman
(Don't take that too seriously, I was kidding, because FIRAXIS always seems to hate comparing the game to CivII, for fair reasons I guess.... )
CClark posted 11-25-98 05:07 PM ET
Gord, DJRR,
Glad to know I've made such an impression...
I guess that explains why I never get mentioned in any posts for anything. Anyway, I'm in Toronto. Technically Scarborough, but a nice part of Scarborough. Right next to the Rouge Valley, down by the lake.
Ah.. here's something that will get you to remember me - I'm a Canadian who actually isn't a hockey fan! Unbelievable, I know, but true nonetheless. The Leafs are having their best season in my lifetime (I think, I'm 29) and I couldn't care less.
DJ RRebel posted 11-29-98 11:53 AM ET
CClark ??? You don't even like hockey ??? I'm not a fanatic about hockey, but being born and raised in Montreal, it's imposible not to not like hockey !!!
Mind you, you had the Leafs, so I guess that excuses you for not liking hockey !!!
Anyways, why do you think you didn't make an impression ???
CClark posted 11-30-98 01:33 PM ET
DJ, I think it had something to do with Gord saying "I can't remember offhand if there are any other Torontonians around here..."
I guess my problem is that I don't post a whole bunch of useless little things. I just post every once in a while when I think I have something to say. Not that you don't have anything to say...
DJ RRebel posted 11-30-98 01:56 PM ET
LOL ... ok then .. point taken, what does the C in CClark stand for anyways ???
DJ RRebel posted 12-19-98 07:05 AM ET
So CClark ???
What does the C stand for ????
CClark posted 12-19-98 01:34 PM ET
Heh. I never saw the question the first time around. It's for Chris. My full name is actually: John Christian Clark. But my parents liked Chris better than John, so there it is.
Actually, it's kind of funny, but it seems like half the programmers I've ever worked with have used their middle names. First place I worked there were three programmers, and we all used our middle names! Weird, eh?
LEmpereur posted 12-19-98 02:26 PM ET
Holy Canadians Batman!
Just when I thought I was the only one. Nice to see us conquering a part of the board for ourselves...
That's it for now.. as i'm too busy salivating in anticipation..
Nappy

DJ RRebel posted 12-19-98 02:50 PM ET
L'Empereur ... I think I speak for everyone when I ask ....
What the ____ are you talking about ??? LOL
Roland posted 12-19-98 04:14 PM ET
I think what he means is essentially this:
"If one examines textual appropriation, one is faced with a choice: either accept postcapitalist discourse or conclude that language is used to exploit minorities, given that Saussure's analysis of the cultural paradigm of consensus is invalid. However, the subject is contextualised into a subtextual nationalism that includes narrativity as a whole. The subject is interpolated into a Mensongean sexuality that includes consciousness as a reality.
The dialectic, and thus the fatal flaw, of subdialectic modernist theory prevalent in Erotica emerges again in Sex.
Postcapitalist discourse suggests that reality may be used to entrench the entrenched hegemony of the status quo over society. But the main theme of the works of Burroughs is the role of the artist as
reader.
The subject is contextualised into a subtextual nationalism that includes sexuality as a reality. In a sense, Bataille suggests the use of the cultural paradigm of consensus to challenge and modify class.
Any number of desituationisms concerning postcapitalist discourse exist. It could be said that several discourses concerning the difference between sexual identity and society may be revealed."
That's a quote from Jane L. P. von Ludwig: The Genre of Class: Postcapitalist discourse in the works of Spelling
I think her comments are right on the money...
Gord McLeod posted 12-19-98 04:21 PM ET
Sorry CClark, I guess you didn't throw your Canadian heritage around enough for me to catch it.
DJ, Re: Maple Leafs
I'm with CClark on this one, but I'll take it further. *Despite* having been born and raised for 6 years in Montreal, I hate hockey with an absolute passion that borders on being a phobia. And to dig myself in even deeper, I also hate baseball and all other major league sports, AND I hate beer, and ... while I won't say I hate this, I am at least not very fond of Canadian bacon.
(Now Maple Syrup... that's good stuff...
Gord McLeod posted 12-19-98 04:25 PM ET
Roland:
I'm going to have to re-read that passage sometime when I'm not feeling quite so much like someone stuffed cotton into every available space inside my head. It's flu season and I'm dearly regretting not getting my shot. What does all of that mean? I was able to get some interesting hints out of it but not much more at the moment...
Roland posted 12-19-98 04:38 PM ET
Just reread it; it's a bit out of context but it reveals the futility of discourse under differing paradigms...
