This is very cool duke, very well designed. I can't believe you did it all in MS Paint too! Patience is indeed important when working with paint. I was going to get into pixel buildings, but after building one line I figured that I would give up because it took too much patience. Patience I don't have...esspecially with computers.

Wow, I'm so suprised that there are so many people applying. I'm sorry though, but ATM there are no host positions available. I have compiled a list of all the applications and will go down that list in order if we need a host for a show. Thanks agains. Be sure to tune in for the first podcast coming soon! Yeah..ther preview was a bit rehersed, but don't worry, Epi. 1 will be much more casual and not as stiff. Hopefully...

Ghosts: Yes, but not the kind that haunt houses and try to scare you. Aliens: There has to be, I mean come on. Heaven/Hell: Yes, but it is not like what we think it is. Reincarnation: No God: Yes, but in a different way. Parallel Universes: Not sure. Government Conspiracies: Of course, haven't you heard of the time machine? That pretty much sums up what I believe...

*Opens door and slowly walks in* Umm..hey everyone. I guess I'll join in.

LOL! I hear nothing..honestly. Well, I kinda hear a window opening and that's it. Funny...

What the heck, I guess I'll join. Let's keep the spam down..ohh, wait, fanclubs are spam.

Ohh, cool its back. Glad to see everyone is on the same page and has the same understandings about GeoVisitors.

I've got a few more days to go before I've been here 2 years...amazing.

Date: 12/7/2005 6:09:08 PM Author: vidioman Aww, you think you and barbula have strong opinions that's cute! This forum hasn't seen my opinionated wrath! And it probably wont. (there's actually a member called barby, so that nick name wont work..)quote> Actually I wanna a Political Forum really bad...I wanna debate. Anyway, the person doesn't HAVE to be non-biased, but just has to be fair.

Date: 12/7/2005 1:14:26 PM Author: vidioman Date: 12/7/2005 1:00:55 PM Author: dev Date: 12/7/2005 12:44:48 PM Author: vidioman Off Topic should be divided into several sections Off Topic in general Hobbies/food etc. Architecture forum History/Politics/Current Events Computer/Technology Forum games Community goings-on they'd get people going to them. Itd keep the whole thing more organised. And we dont need a politics section, if it wont work. It would require constant moderation. We're just to immature for it I think the architecture forum should be moved into the off topic seciton, though, since I never look at the simcity part anymore, I only post here for my BAT thread and off topic, and the occasional spammy post elsewhere. It wouldnt amke it a ghost town, it would show thqt there is more happening in off topic. We have 100,000 members, it should work. I know forums with only 6000 members that have giant off topic sections. I think allowing political debate would be a very good thing for SimTropolis. As long as moderation was fair...(example...Conservative Mod, Liberal Mod) I think it would be a good addition to the site since politics is my favorite subject. I would become and addict to a History/Politics/Current Events forum...I wanna see that happen!dont bring conservativsm and liberalism into this either. If thart were the case, we'd also need a libertairan, fascist, anarchist, communist, and authoritairian mods,too. We just need someone that can stop a diuscussion when it gets too flame-war-y, and curb extremsim. I agree, we would need a non-biased person like me! ...or like Barbula. But. I'm all for the political forum. SYSTEM WARS THREAD!

Yeah..about that thread I bumped...yeah. Sometimes there's a time to be funny and have fun. I actually rarely bump threads at all, but just the other day I had this urge to bumb a 2 year old thread. Once won't hurt, but many times will. On another note, not everyone likes to leave a post on every threads. I mean, that would be a pain. Only 5% of the threads I read get a comment, but that doesn't mean I don't like them...(double negative?)

Alrighty guys! Just thought I'd update you all. The Episode 1 Podcast is gonna be awesome!!! Wicked! Sick! Totally the hip thing! Okay, you get the point. Its something to look forward too. All the hosts are set up and ready to tape. The script writers are currently writing and are busy hard at work on the show outline.

Hmm..I wasn't at all freaked out about it. Actually there is a better site called: www.frappr.com What it does is allows people from a website to put there point on a Google Map at their own consent. It would be nice to have that, I would certainly partisipate. But, IMO Geo Visitors is much more secure.

Date: 12/2/2005 5:24:17 PM Author: MayorTim I don't really think usernames make all that much of a diffrence. There are some real idiots in the world, and while I don't think there are any on this board, experience tells me there is a chance a couple visit as guests from time to time. Nonregistered users can access it too, and we get nearly twice as many of them as we do registered users every day. If an idiot sees that, say, someone who visits Simtropolis lives 10 minutes away, there is a chance they will decide to go pay a visit. I am still strongly against Geo Visitors. I do admit the chances of anything happening because of it are low, however since I can't find any real purpose for it, I think it should go. EDIT: Villarule, you will be, GeoVisitors takes a while to figure out you visited. I visited the site 3 times in the last hour (2 telephone calls and a snack break ) And it didn't add my location untill the third visit.quote> I can see your point now. *ding dong* Hello Yeah, I'm from ST and I saw you on Geo Visitors WTF? Yeah, just thought I'd say hi Yeah, well. Leave NOW!

It doesn't really matter because your username isn't shown on the Geo Visitors site, there no way someone can identify where you are located. If it showed your username with the address that would be a problem.

Thanks for all the great comments on the podcast! We have something awesome planned for the first episode, trust me, you'll think it is totally uber! Stay tuned for more news on the podcast. On another note, we are still looking for writers. PM me if you are interested.

The Simtropolis Podcast Teaser by the_new_simman & GingerBlokey Download Here: http://corporate.imgcity.net/STPodcastTeaser.mp3 Comments are welcome, but remember this is our first try. Hope your all hyped up now. Date: 11/29/2005 7:15:51 PM Author: brtim2 What is meant by the 'Current Events/News' and the 'Roundtable' portions of the show? Current news around the world, or only from the SimCity world? Roundtable like political discussion or something like that?quote> The Current Events/News will include SC4, Simtropolis, Spore, and regular news. The Roundtable will include ONLY Simcity 4 Issues, Special ST Event Coverage, and General Discussion about gaming. NO POLITICS.

Date: 11/29/2005 12:12:29 PM Author: villarule talk about a quality post what form will this podcast take? to reach the biggest audience would it be a good idea to include music and current affairs aswell as SC4 and SimTrop stuff? just an idea....quote> Form meaning content wise or file wise? If you are talking about content here the lineup: - Introductions - Current Events / News - Round-Table Discussion - Reviews (BATT, MODD, CJ, MAPP, and Game) - Interviews (People from far and wide will be interviewed - I have a few in mind already) - Conclusion / See you next time ...if you were talking about file format it will be available in the almost universal format of .mp3.

Get well soon MsD! You'll be walking out of there in no time, perfectly fine. Trust in God or whatever you beliefs may be.

This is very good! Congratulations! Hope you don't mind me asking, but what publisher? EDIT: Be sure ot link us all when the book is released, I may consider picking it up!

Ohh! Hacker! Well, at least it was for the better of ST. I still don't like the idea of someone hacking to tell us this security vunerablity. That's why there's PMs young children. j/k.

Thanks again for all your comments. I've gotten all of the programs needed to produce, record, and edit the podcast. Expect an introductory podcast in the near future; all I have to do is set up the other Hosts. The hosts of the show have been decided and are: Dusktrooper, JohnB, Simman, SC4Meister (Unconfirmed), and GingerBlokey. Right now we are still looking for some writers. These writers would create the scripts, reviews, and interview questions. We would be needing up to 3 writers. Please PM me interested. Trust me, this show will keep you coming back to ST for many months to come. Expect some very cool interviews, very cool.
