That should change after October is over ... or the Astros finish up sooner than you'd like. Don't hope for being coloured too soon dontcha know ;)

Yeah, well.... the Astros had their best postseason performance of all time (all 43 years of "all time" as far as that club is concerned) and I finally hit 80+ bppd since you started teh ratelist on your EGRL.

It's all good.

If you want to fit more, you could try trimming your sig links a bit. Take out the "www." on all of the links, and get rid of the three "&" strings in your last link. Another idea is to do what I did for a while: make little JavaScript "redirect" pages on your server, like http://jfsoftware.com/r2.htm. That can shorten your links a lot, too.

Thanks, hadn't even noticed that & crap. I've spotted it in other people's sig links ... NG seems to be installing them for no apparent reason. It's probably why my original sig link set up worked, but when I tried to change it, it was too large.

Speaking of trimming methods... here's how I do the links in my sig:

[a href="/bbs/topic.php?id=98232&page=33"]pentalist[/a] (2nd) // [a href="/bbs/topic.php?id=107788&page=57"]voting power[/a] (19th)

Just in case youse guys didn't know, if the URL is on NG, you don't need to put anything beyond the path on www.ng.com, so... there ya go. Enjoys, anyone who finds that info useful for cramming more URLs in their sigs. :::nods:::

The problem is that when you update your sig, NG sees the & and drop amp; next to it each time you update. When I ran into sig length trouble before, the Wi/Ht? Members list (only one with a & comment) read

href="/bbs/topic.php?id=64127&page=4"

It's just a matter of remembering to scroll down and clean that crap out each time I change the date.

I'm gald I don't have to deal with that. I supose I could put a pointer to my top 500 user topic. I jsut have teh direct link top my site.

Ah, but you see... I save each sig change I make in text files... and then when I make a new sig, I prepare it in a new text file and I paste the ENTIRE revised sig into the ENTIRE sig text slot in my GG menu. So I've never experienced that ampersand problem you speak of.

I don't make little changes to my sig. I replace the entire thing every time I change it... with selectall + paste. No mess.

Oh, I keep forgetting to mention:

I got Gold on the Saves list for the first time EVAR (not like it's been possible for that long... just since the start of August 2004, basically).

That was pretty nifty. I think I was pretty close back in August, but for most of September and October my saverate wasn't too hot.

But anyway, I dig teh green on the mainlist more than gold on either of the top 50s... too bad there's no green on the top 50s... (cough)hinthintwinkwink(cough)

Trying to get soemone to change their colors. Heck for the first time in a long time I out paced the two ppl in front of me in saves.
Gettign gold for saves is not exactly easy. Since more crap than good stuff seems to be the theme still at ng.

Congratulations. I didn't even realise till I read your post cause sometimes I skim the welcome section. Too bad you didn't join it half a year ago when I would have HAD to notice cause I woulda been doing the welcome section myself. #;-}>

Not change. Just add. #;-}> Just like the regular list once had only blue and gold and Dogma decided to add green... just figured I'd hint at how nifty it would be if there was green on the two top 50s as well. It'd bring more colour to them, yanno? :::nods:::

And yep, gold for saves was tough. I'm happy I got it once. I'm sure I qualified for it back in the day I was doing the list myself, but I didn't have all of Dogma's nifty HTMLnesses, so... I wasn't keeping track and I didn't get nifty gold colours in the BBS updates of the top 50 in this topic, yanno? It just ain't the same. #;-}>

Wahhhh? _redruM_ made the ratio list? I didn't even know he was still active...

did he make it because people ahead of him got too many blams and slipped off the list or something? O_o

Oh wells. Anywho, congrats to all who did cool save-related things this week. :::nods:::

He made the list without doing a single save....

O_o Now, an explanation would be nice :) oh maybe he did one blam so now he's considered active.. is that what you thought gfox?

Nevermind, I checked the normal list. He made one blam. Problem solved.

You're lucky SK isn't on-line right now Regulus. He may have referred to you as a "fucking stooge" for not doing a search first (lol). Irrelevant shit that contributes absolutely nothing to the thread pisses him off. Beware...

Unless of course i am the one doing the shit :o, SK is my home boy ^.^

I fail to remember the last time sk bashed me or corrected me while being mad at me! Sure, the cat is aggressive sometimes but what-can-you-do? It's his online personnality (I'm sure if he is really like that because I never meet him).

He probably did 1-2 times before to me but HEY, we still love the cat.

That's also why I prefer to make mistakes when dogma or gfox are here. They usually respond nicely. I typed "usually", NOT "always" because everyone has some bad moods, right ekregulus? I meant.. O_o

Beautiful, just beautiful. Nah, I only tend to go after people who have their heads firmly shoved up their own asses. Forum regulars usually don't fall into this category, so I tend to leave them alone.

It may be due to the fact that anyone who's got their head up their ass is shown the door in short order, well, led to it anyway. It's definitely a different style of personality that chooses to hang out, and is accepted, here.

I noticed that asdfsdfg was listed as NEW on the D list, so I went to the C list and he wasn't. It then dawned on me that he was inactive for awhile or something. I take it the welcome section for C/D lists is mostly made up of inactives that go active? I'd never noticed before.

It's the only real drawback to the B and D lists (not C and D). If someone earns a single point, not necessarily even in the category the list is covering, they are no longer "inactive." E.G.: asdfsdfg earned 9 points for the first time in something like 6 weeks, so poof goes back to active. He can then earn no points for the next four updates before he goes back to inactive on the fifth.

Debuts on the middle/upper C list are primarily from someone ranking in from Private. NEW in the lower end are usually from other people voting on "too many" blams (Saves list) or saves (Blams list), which easily knocks their percentage down enough to put them off the list.

never meant to create such a stir.

k wait, so maybe I did.

I never realised til just now how close to gfoxcook in terms of exp I am. if only I had decided to come back 1 day earlier >_< (/2days?)

so if I drop a day got vibes to come up from behind and rush me. i find that extremely ironic. yet I am posting all of this in the wrong topic? oh my...

Indeed. Congrats to them on hitting 5000 saves!

But yanno, they're not exactly the ONLY people saving movies, so I dunno why you said just "a couple." They're just the only ones that hit the 5000, 10000, 15000, or 20000 savemarks during last week, that's all. #;-}>

Um... you didn't, really. If I hadn't noticed YOU going from inactive to active and thus being "welcomed" to both the C/D lists even though you were already on the C list (overall) if not the D list (active), I would have noticed it with someone else. You were just a good example in the discussion Dogma and I were having, 'tis all.

I never realised til just now how close to gfoxcook in terms of exp I am. if only I had decided to come back 1 day earlier >_< (/2days?)

Never realised? I'm not sure how that's possible, since you and I were talking about me passing you in exp a few months ago. You were ahead... then you hit level 17 and stopped depositing... then I passed you, then you started depositing again. I've already talked about how close you and I (and Zenxin) are in exp in one of my two list topics, though... so there ya go... although, wait... maybe I made that reply after 8:56 AM on Sunday. I can't recall.
