That's probably because (I'm assuming) the sign-up date gets stored as the number of seconds since the Unix epoch (midnight on 1970-01-01); for a deleted user, the date returned is probably -1 (either literally or as an constant supposed to indicate an error that just happens to have that value), which falls on this date - 1969-12-31.

11k blams. That took way too long :(

I liked the save movie. The blam one was, as you say, rather basic, and could do with some cool new innovation to bring it up to par with the redesign.

Well, maybe they need to redo it, as it was a little old, with the icon, which has changed for Flash over the years. I'd like to see a new one, but similar to the original

Just so you know, it's not the best idea to backtalk Coop when he has any weapon on hand.

I do know how to use it. You, on the other hand, may need some practice with those nunchuks. Just be sure not to hit yourself while practicing. Lawl.

Hey, using these nunchuks (nunchucks?) are harder than it looks. It's not my fault I tend to enjoy swinging them around, and sometimes, one of the rods ends up hitting me in the face. Or is it?

Hmmm....

At 7/19/07 04:18 AM, Coop83 wrote: Just you wait another month, then I'll have more stars!

But that's still a month right there. I still have time to mock you on your excessive use of the things. Although, I may, no, scratch that, will pay for it in the end. I really don't know what I plan on doing right now.

Maybe I'll go train a little with my weapons, just so PenguinLink will have less reasons to mock me.

Crowbars aren't ranged weapons. Besides, it's more of a penguinbar :P

Yeah, but that doesn't mean that you couldn't use it to deflect some of the stars. I mean, you could, but the weight of the crowbar (or penguinbar, in this case :P) would make it a tad difficult.

I just found that out :P The problem is, I still have no clue of what could cause that. I would gladly fix it, you know, but I just don't know how...

A good idea might be to have a look at the flashes that were present in the Portal on the moment PG stopped working. I didn't manage to do it when it just fell out for me, but if you ever manage to have a look at the Portal little after it stopped, it would be kind to mail or PM me the source code of the UJ part of the Portal. I know that's not easy, but you're the person to which (I think) this has happened most times.

My thanks to Shanus, PureLionHeart, Odyssic, PenguinLink, Coop83 and X-Naut.

After checking out the new level icons I can easily say I have four favorites (and they're all ahead of me experience wise). Levels 43, 45, 46 and 56. The double-bladed skull axe (level 46) would be my first choice out of the lot.

Thanks Pure. The new layout seems to have energized the site. I love all the new features, particularly the auto deposit. Now if I can only remember to log in when I'm voting. The revamp reminds me of when I first joined. Took some time learning where everything was, how to quote a post, how to score blam points (which was different back then). Hey, if RG gets up and running can I have all your money? >_<

I agree, although in my opinion, the most ridiculous ones by far are 58, 59, and 60. I just laughed when I saw them. I expected them to be cool beyond the realms of cool; powering through the barriers of the mundane; exceeding everything in a manner that screams 'fuck you' while simultaneously politely demanding your respect.

Needless to say, I was utterly disappointed.

At 7/20/07 07:28 PM, alrd wrote: I was quite dissapointed with those too, aswell as with the new designs of the metal gauntlets they looked SO much better before.

I can't agree more with you on that one. They look a bit silly now.

I also miss level weapons from the levels old levels of 19, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 28 and 29 they were pretty much abadonned.

19 and 26 always eluded me in the sense that I was never quite sure what they actually were.

21 and 22 were awesome axes, but they have been replaced by the orgasm of a level icon that is the level 46 axe, so that makes it slightly better.

23 I never really liked. It just looked too fragile to be level 23 out of 30.

24 was a nice little sword, but there are 4 or 5 swords in the new system. I reckon the level 42 and 51 swords should be switched though.

25 was just amazing. I guess 47 has replaced it, but it looks nowhere near as cool.

28 was the sweet golden axe, I believe? But again, axes aplenty.

29 was ok. No real opinion on it.

I just get the feeling that they ran out of ideas for the last 3 icons in the new system.

Same here man! I just logged on to deposit for my accounts a couple of days ago and BAM! Redesign! Well, it may be more than half a year late, but it sure does look nice.

I have to agree, if you remember, when I used to post, I opposed the idea of new levels. But they way they did them, and locked them in place, I gotta say I like it too. And then there's the rest of the redesign which is als extremely nice.

I installed WoW on my laptop today. Prepare for my absence :P
And that meant I only got 50 B/P instead of my usual 80 :(

Mods and admins get an aura the color of the background on the NG tank.

Why is it so tough to reach lvl 60. Even Pimp has a hard time.

My geuss is so that the highest level can still be special, but so that the old user scaled system can go away at the same time.

Level 25 and base voting power of 6.66! :D ... and very close to .. supreme commander.

Although the tank with wings doesn't really do it for me.. meh, oh well.

Only a level 2 here. Fear my... lolipop?
