Maybe she was able to get the front page or booty. There are pockets there that they are up, though I haven't tried in a few days.

if you click on front page no image, it says switching servers, and there is only a forum link here. I dont know how long that they have been doing that.Caedre booty not avalable right this minute, looks like we're getting the new server could be wrong, once they switch it then you click on front page, and you can access it there.With server issues its been wigging in and out, to not available.

At home I get get on about 2 threads and then it times out. Wait 5/10 mins and do it some more. Times out. Do it again.

I'm at school at the moment. Aside from not being able to see any pics or avatars, it works brilliantly.

You guys are lucky that you can access the phorum. It's down 25/8 for me. And up for like 20-30 minutes each day.


Title: Hooray!!!
Post by: Soup Parrot on 2007 January 15, 13:38:41
Have not had any problems with the phorum. It slowed down a little last night. Wiggs out on rare occasion, most the time it here. Cant be bad, we are still picking up members, lots of lurkers reading out there. So they see it. Last night at one point there were 36 people in the phorum.  Now if a few more would step out from lurking and join in. :D --hint hint

Post by: marjoree on 2007 January 15, 13:41:34
I got into the phorum yesterday morning but for the rest of the day, no such luck.  I can't access the phorum about half the time... I'm always amazed when I finally do get back in, to see that plenty of other people were able to get in & post.  I'm pretty stupid about computers, but howzat work?  Some people can get in, some people can't?


Title: Hooray!!!

Post by: Captain Feathersword on 2007 January 15, 16:28:43
The phorum is fine for me, every now and then I get a hiccough but apart from having nothing useful to say I have no problems here. MATY is a different story. If I'm lucky I'll get the main forum page to load but that's pretty much it.


Title: Hooray!!!
Post by: Twinkie on 2007 January 15, 16:49:55
I've got no problems with the Phorum or with MATY. However, loads of CC sites are being very wobbly, especially MTS2  :shock: Very odd.


Title: Hooray!!!
Post by: Soup Parrot on 2007 January 15, 17:34:01
Twinkie, thiking what I've been thinking...Suddenly sites running smoothly start wigging out like MTS2. more people either got pets and sims or I dont know. if the game is getting more players, wonder what the jump will be when seasons come out, new game players joining us. Hope they find us awfully quick before getting pulled into Paysites web.


Title: Hooray!!!
Post by: Tchannie on 2007 January 15, 18:48:44
MATY's lovely for me. Never had a problem. But I don't have an account there...no, wait, I do. ^^ I think I've posted like twice or something.
Would you believe that when I wrote that comment it timed out on me?? Oh the irony.
MTS2 hates me. I can't get it to work at all.


Title: Hooray!!!
Post by: Doursim on 2007 January 15, 19:02:30
The forum moved addresses while I was on vacation, but I was still posting here.  When I first got back, my bookmark was still paysites.mustbedestred.org/phorum/ it worked for a while then suddenly wouldn't work anymore (after I got home)

When I realized this about an hour later, I changed it to phorum.mustnotbenamed.org and it's worked fine since.  I havn't had any problems on the server side.  My internet reliability on the other hand...


Title: Hooray!!!
Post by: Soup Parrot on 2007 January 15, 19:15:05
I just go to my history bar, click on phorum gets me here. If it wigs out its generally going to another thread or trying to reply to one. But thats very rare.


Title: Hooray!!!

I lost the Phorum last night also. It wouldn't load for me. Thought I was going to have to go torture some people today if it I wasn't able to see it. Desparate? Hell no. Just like to have a good laugh.

Incidentally, I almost never have problems with the phorum these days. I did a few months back, but only occasional badness now. :D

The last 3 days I have 'needed' to find, no less than 6 things that after hunting for where I saw them last, realized it was here or MATY...
Then everytime I went to find something on MTS2 they were down. I was about ready to scream.... now I have none of it, and/or can't remember half of it, and what I am left with is a single question I need to check MATY for... funfunfun... not

*cough*It was my fault; I call it the "ACR incident": I was tinkering with ACR code and forgot to turn it off before playing.
The result was a hot sudden woohoo on the sofa, just between Pescado and Jfade chatting about wheather.

I didn't include that pic in the story because it was REALLY creepy, but I took it anyway 'cause I laughed out too loud  :P.
The censored version (http://www.fantasiadomain.com/sims2/snapshot_censored.jpg) maybe may help to figure out how much was creepy the original one.

Ahhhh Darla is a cheater!
In Weivtnasaelp she's constantly playing kicky bag with Malcolm Landgraab IV, except when woohoo'ed by male Marisa Bendett on community sofas around (ick  :? ).

And the PirateBooty's True Love™ was Heaty Changee, not Darla. Ehm, more precisely, Heaty was... *cough* cowplant incident, you know... er... sorry :oops:.

Being killed by a Hippo sounds pretty embarrassing.
I'm sure it's horrible too.
But still embarrassing.
I suppose it's because we don't really have hippos walking around here killing people.
We don't see how ferocious they are.
I remember a cartoon I saw long ago of a hippo wearing a tutu.

It might have been Fantasia.
Thanks for reminding me of that.
That was one of those movies that my friend made me watch when we were little.

Post by: Captain Feathersword on 2007 January 21, 10:13:17
It really is true about hippos. They kill more people in Africa every year than any other animal. It's partly because most people are too dumb to be scared of a wild animal just because it won't eat them, and partly because they're bad tempered buggers. The size of them helps too.
Cartoon hippos in tutus make people less afraid of them but stupid people dying isn't such a bad thing.

Post by: Doursim on 2007 January 21, 10:20:07
I liked Fantasia.  I still do.  Didn't care for the second one though.  Like all disney things from the last 10 years, it completly lacked heart.  Or maybe they all do and I am only defining "heart" as "my childhood fondness and thus nostalgic qualities of".

As for hippos.  They ARE dangerous.  They overturn boats, that's what makes them so dangerous.  First they overturn, or even give it a good enough bump to knock someone overboard, then maul to death.

It's even more insulting because they don't bother to eat you.  At least if I'm killed by a lion, wolves, or some other carnivore I feel like I'm helping the system.

I remember hearing about how hippos have a tendency to interrupt alligators  (or crocodiles? I'm not sure which ones would be in Africa, at the moment) that are doing their "death rolls" on their pray.

The alligator is just rolling, and trying to kill its prey, and rolling, and-- HIPPO. Just bumping into it and throwing it off.

And the alligator is all like "ARGH WTF MATE" and the hippo is like "Yeah. I did that. You wanna make somethin' of it... punk?" And the alligator goes, ":( n--no sir..." And just has to try again.

Those hippos interrupted my death roll, once, too. It was a sad occasion!
(Is this my admitting to being an alligator or crocodile? Who knows?)

Its like Polar bears, people love them remember the ones in the Coco cola Ads, they look so benovolent. They are very dangerous.

red you couldn't pet a lion, he'd spring at you so fast lunge at you get the picture.

i think we get confused by how wild animals are portrayed, and how they really are. hippos always I seen represented as docile. Rhino dangerous. Even wild deer is dangerous, they can kill a person too, they have sharp hooves, and if a buck horns that are dangerous.

All animals are dangerous.  Havn't you ever seen the "WHEN ANIMALS ATTACK" series on TV.  That show cracks me up.

one of the clips is about a woman who brought her chihuahua into a convience store with her (in her purse)  Well, the convience store had a "pet" cat that lived there who didn't care for the dog.  So the cat lept down from a shelf or something and scratched the living daylights out of the lady.  I'm serious, it looked pretty bad, and I think she had to get stitches.  

That doesn't sound funny, but the voice over uses the most dramatic language and inflection to describe the events.

The ENRAGED feline FLUNG itself at this innocent shopper.  It proceeded to carve into her face with it's RAZOR sharp claws....  

lol, makes me chuckle just thinking about it.

Personally I just remember the ones from the TV show "Lost". My youngest brother saw that, then refused to go to sleep until we checked his room for polar bears and convinced him that they're not native to England. >:D

I've heard that Koalas are actually quite nasty of temperment.  I've also heard that they are so lazy that they always use the same hand for eating...  Something about conserving brain energy or something.

Koalas are vicious bastards with very long, sharp claws. They spend their lives stoned hence the lack of brain. If you want to go near one, make sure you have the right sort of eucalyptus branch, they are very picky about which ones they eat.
Drop Bears are not koalas.

Its like these dummies that have exotic animals for pets. I remember reading a man in Ohio kept bears it was feeding time, the bear escaped saw a neighbors kid followed him into the house and started mauling the mom. The owner killed him. Or pet cobras and boas. No thanks. And look at Sigfried and Roy cant remember which one it was during the show ione of his white tigers gragged him by the neck . You remember that. Theres always some stories. Even dogs can be dangerous, and killers like pitbulls.

I'm going to have to defend pitbulls and say:  Any dog can be a killer. Pitbulls have a bad wrap because the majority of people who own them (sorry to pitbull owners who are responsible) are irresposible people who simply want the dog because of it's image, but don't know a damn thing about keeping dogs.  Much less about purebred dogs who take a bit more handleing.  Plus most dog owners (about 95-99%) have no idea what is and isn't appropriate dog behaviour.

Some people think it's cute when dogs put their faces on your lap, or sit and whine for attention while you watch TV.  Cute is subjective, but what is definatly is:  A lack of respect from your dog, which means your dog does not think you are the leader.


Sorry about that little rant.  I just can't stand people pegging dogs as being "bad", when in reality the "bad" in the equasion is the owner, not the dog.

You would be too if you were smaller than most predators and easy to catch.

I've never heard of that (too lazy to look it up :o ), but I do know that they and Pandas (also nasty bastards when riled, same giant bark-stripping teeth) don't get much nutrition out of their respective leaves and shoots. That's why when you see them they're usually either eating or sleeping.

Quote from: "Soup Parrot"

Some people never learn that just because something is pretty or cute doesn't mean it lives that way. They think "Domesticated" means "Lives in a house", when it's thousands of years of intentional breeding programs that got our domesticated species to stop trying to eat us on a regular basis.

I'm actually a bit peeved at EA for including wolves as tamable pets (not letter-writing furious, just...unhappy.) Wolves and wolf-crosses are incredibly dangerous, and so many people have romantic notions of them.
Take all the dog problems you've ever heard of, combined, and then include "can snap your bones like a twig", "thinks you're food", "unearthly stench", and "even if you can get them to like you, will always wait for your guard to go down so it can challenge you for leadership."

Of course, I know this sounds silly when you're talking about a game that lets you burn people to death, but the consequences there are well-represented. :?

While I agree with you to the extent that it's not the animal's fault for what it is, calling it dangerous is justified. All dogs are hunters, but pitbulls were intended as fighters. They were intentionally bred to attack, hold on, and never let go.
Given a level playing field- all dogs yes, but pitbulls more often.

Fun fact: The majority of dog breeds are totally unsuited to living with children or other animals. One of the worst offenders? The oh-so-lovable Dalmatian.

Pitbulls are like bulldogs and many other hunting and fighting breeds. They have genetic predispositions that make them suited for certain environments and less suited for others. Unlike say, English Bulldogs or Bull Mastiffs, the Pitbull gets an even worse reputation because they are often bred for illegal dogfights, and the owners terrorize and abuse the animal until they are vicious and erratic.

When I was young we owned a Pitbull named Popeye, and she was for the most part a spunky, energetic and fun dog who loved the family and loved to play. On the other hand, she did have certain breed characteristics, like the fact that she was extremely distrustful of strangers around humans who she considered part of her pack. She also had to be watched like a hawk around smaller animals, and at one point got loose and killed a neighbor's cat. She also had several litters of puppies, and they did require special handling as well, since they were too young to understand how to open their jaws after they would lock on to something (or more often, each other).

So yeah, dogs have certain breed characteristics and traits that make them unsuitable for certain environments, they all do. Chow chows are often mean and ill tempered, and not recommended for children (ours was a stupid cuddly pushover though), dalmatians are intelligent but highstrung and bad around kids, most small terrier breeds are very bright and high energy but tend to start destructive and self destructive behaviour if left alone with nothing to do for extended periods of time.

I think that in most cases, problems with dogs and animals in general is because humans don't take the time to understand the traits and personality of the animal. I'm a total cat person (like dogs okay, but vastly prefer cats), but I still make it a point to educate myself to interact with dogs and know what to expect.

Believe me, I know about breed traits.  We have a English Bulldog, Sumo. This dog is SO DUMB.  I have never met a dog that is as dumb as this one. Worse than dumb though, he's stubborn, and very dominant.  Even as a puppy we would go to the Bark Park and full grown dogs would lie on their backs for him (submit).  He's a total jerk at home.  90% of my husbands and my interaction with him is asserting our dominance (or having him stare at us blankly while we try to teach him a trick).  Those are all breed traits though, stubborn, imposing, dominaneering, easily alarmed by loud noises.  Bulldogs are NOT good around children because they need calm to stay calm.

He's a bastard and I can't stand him.  I would much rather dote on my cat, who is an angel, and can do no wrong in my eyes. lol.

And I'll agree and reinterate what I first said:  Most dog owners have no idea how to keep dogs :)

But's she's HUGE and fear-inducing.
Maybe half these dogs aren't scary, or evil, it's just the way they look that's the frightening part?

It has nothing to do with scary or evil. That would be more convenient, actually.
And there will always be exceptions, because each has its own personality.

Let's put it another way- would you try to keep an Irish Wolfhound (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_wolfhound) in a tiny apartment as an indoor lap-dog?
He might be the soppiest lovey in the world, but he needs to run, needs to chase and romp. He wouldn't mean to destroy your house, but he would.
He's just not intended for that life, because he was bred to hunt wolves.

In the exact same way, Pitbulls (and similar) were bred for fighting. They can be nice, and sometimes they don't even mean to hurt- they just play too hard. But their instincts compel them to dominate.

Post by: Doursim on 2007 January 22, 01:20:21
I heard a story by a friend of my mothers, she used to have a wolfhound.  Lord knows why she had it in the car, but she had to stop by the grocery, she was gone for like, 5 minutes but when she came back the entire interior was destroyed. lol.  

Any dog can become destructive though, any dog can become disrespectful.  As an owner you HAVE to know how to assert your dominance over a dog, you have to curtail bad behaviour, and most importantly, you have to KNOW what is bad behaviour.  Like running to the door and barking.  Bad behaviour.  If you don't, then your dog rules your house, and you end up having to put him down because he bit the neighbors kid or something.
