One of my friends got the new Harry Potter book. He finished it this afternoon. After that, he downloaded the e-text, then went and got the screenshots of the spoilers that were leaked.

None of them are the same. The leaked pages are fanfiction.

This was actually one of my theories: someone leaked fake copies. Maybe it was a publicity stunt? Who knows.

Guess none of you had anything spoiled, after all.

She's got over 1.7 hojillion dollars, she can do whatever the fuck she wants with the series and get away with it.

My point is that she doesn't need to make money. She already has money. She sleeps on a bed made of money in a giant money house where her robot money butlers brings her a delicious breakfast of money every morning, as the beams of solid gold light pour in through her polished diamond windows.

She could end the lives of two hundred million mortals with a wave of her hand, why would she worry about doing the marketable thing when it comes to the fate of a fake wizard?

Yeah, 7chan can get a bit hairy at times. When the site was hacked a while back and it forced you to redirect to the FBI homepage, I about lost my ever locing MIND.... never mind that I am not anonymous or one to venture into certain questionable parts of the site, I was freakin' out.

If you'll excuse me I have to go drink until I forget what you said

Sorry dude. ;-(

I'm just going to pm people who have any further questions about the book, it was kind of an assholish thing of me to sit here and give out the spoilers of the book without any kind of prior warning.

I knew it before the 7th book came out... It's not really that important, what I was talking aout was the lives of Snape and Dumbledore.

Tonight I'm going to watch Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain and cook something out of Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking. Perhaps I will drink wine. But don't worry, this little foray will not lead to me ceasing all hygiene.

And my boyfriend bought a copy of the new Harry Potter, but he hasn't read the sixth one yet, so apparently I get (have?) to read it first. I don't know when I'll get around to it. I read the last one in one afternoon, while cat-sitting for my sister, so I might go ahead and plough through this one in one day as well.

Oh, and there's a new All-Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder due out on Wednesday, as well as Batman #666, and I are excited. I mean, come on! He's the goddamn Batman!


He followed me home, can I keep him?

Skunky,

Why am I at a 25 level, when I used to be a 13 or a 14?
And JoS is at a 3.

I can't find a post or some sort of history explaining if the levels changed...
Thanks amor for helping.

There are now 2 levels for each of the old levels, totalling 60 in all. Thus how I was able to go from being level 15 to level 30.

The upside is that Tom did away with the old sliding scale of experience points (i.e.; for every 10 points the #1 user deposited, everyone else had 2 points tacked onto their levelup requirements), and now you can just stop depositing and not have to worry about levelling down.

I would buy HumanTarget52 a beer, if I felt bad for him.

I can't find a post or some sort of history explaining if the levels changed...

It wasn't announced as part of the redesign, I don't think. I may be wrong.

Hey!!!! STOP WITH THE POSTING OF SPOILERS WITHOUT A WARNING!!!!

We're banning for it elsewhere and I'd be banning for it in here too except that Proteas is going along with it. I know this is supposed to be a closed sort of topic and it moves quick, but if we're banning people elsewhere for this (and we are) you shouldn't do it here because your creating a harder to explain standard for us mods. Thanks.

(1) I realize I did wrong by posting that here, but if you paid attention, you would have noticed that I apoloigzed to those I upset by posting those spoilers and said that I would carry it over to the pm system for thos who wished to discuss it further. NON-CRISIS AVERTED.

(2) What happened to that whole "we're not supposed to ream each other out in front of the users" deal, hm?

I was just making sure the people who might still decide to post things understand it's gonna result in action now, I don't want to, but it's not fair to people who are being banned if there's examples they can point to and go "why aren't they banned?"

(2) What happened to that whole "we're not supposed to ream each other out in front of the users" deal, hm?

I didn't take it as reaming you out in front of the users, I was typing stuff in all caps to make sure it got people's attention and it was read. Didn't mean to make you look bad or anything. Sorry :)

I was reading the book when Proteas let the spoilers out, but I was quick enough to stop reading his post, and lucky enough to already know the firsts deaths he mentioned.

Apparently, we're World Champions for the 6th time, so um yay.
We're more than the Brazilians of the U-20 tournament.
Congrats to Empanado for the 3rd place.
It hasn't been big news, I think because the U-20 tournament overlapped the Copa América, so nobody paid attention to it, specially since we made it to the finals in it.
The thing that made me smile was when the players acted sloemnly when receiving the medal, but the second they got it, started jumping, and looking at the fans there in the stadium. It made me smile widely.
The light blue and sunshine contrasted with our grey and wet Buenos Aires.
