Jonping: I AM!! heheh no I'm not. but I am on a new computer that's awesome!
Foxy: Guess who's rocking a 15 inch macbook pro now?
M&M: Merry Christmas ACE!
Jonping: How about a little Holiday cheer around here! MERRY (still early) CHRISTMAS!!
Jonping: Bummer!
road_block: So I will be pretty sparse through december
road_block: Wont have internet access regularly for the next month or so. I'm doing some electrical work in my parents basment and have to keep shutting off the power which had made some issues with the verizon fios box.
Jonping: Aww.. sorry to hear that Fox! will be praying!
musik: Oh my, Fox...Will definitely be praying.
Foxer: Serious prayers needed for a lady friend, please. Three of her family in the hospital, two possibly dying.
road_block: SOTW winner is up.
Storm: Greetings. Been without my PC for a bit. Should be back in action in short bit. Ironically, I as well, have a good size photo update for you guys.
Skip: Hey people. Should have a new batch of photos up soon. FINALLY got to use my Nifty Fifty for the first time. will try to get those up today...
NeoJabez: I'll be a little scarce myself for the next few days, I'm an actor at the local haunted house through Halloween. I'm Jason Vorhees, cuz I'm 6'3"...
noname875: sorry about my absence, ive been busy with stuff. i have some new pictures that ill be uploading soon though. ;)
musik: Sorry I've been scarce lately. I was just at Disney for the weekend, and I've got to catch up on my work. I'll be posting again soon as I can
NeoJabez: THAMYRIS! WOOT!
Thamyris: well... nothing work related anyway i hope lol
Thamyris: im on vacation whoot! got a whole week to do nothing
Jonping: I think Neo fixed the post confirmation page whatever it is
Jonping: ahh okay. No I don't know what redhat is but I think I get the basic idea. lol
road_block: yup, its linux. its the free build from redhat (if you know what that is, but its basically redhat without all the plugins and stuff). I'm using it because it requires a ton less computing power than windows.
NeoJabez: A Linux OS, as far as I know.
Jonping: what is fedora?
road_block: I recently put fedora on my laptop to try to extend its life. Site works/looks great on it!
Jonping: It's fine Neo. It will get us all back into going through the galleries
NeoJabez: The Profile galleries are back. With ONE SMALL PROBLEM...All artwork from all members was erased. Start uploading again, I guess...*sigh*
NeoJabez: I'm going to try reinstalling the original version.
NeoJabez: I have a feeling it was, yes.
M&M: was it because of the update to the galleries?
NeoJabez: Profiles will work again now. However, all of our user galleries are currently down. The gallery was somehow causing the issue.
NeoJabez: I have no idea why these small things are breaking. Trying to find a cause...
Jonping: User profiles are all broken for me now.. :(
M&M: Im not sure if it happens to me everytime or not. Ill have to watch for it more.
NeoJabez: Jonping: I've noticed it too, I'm not certain what the issue is, but it's not just you.
Skip: Yay our WoT rating is good again
Jonping: I noticed that every time I post a quick reply, the "confirmation" page or whatever it is, it is broken. I get a white page with my avatar and some links like Home Forums etc. Is it just me? or is it something that has broken?
M&M: New Contest is up!!!
musik: 
Storm: Awesome news!
Smaz: thanks guys she's still around and at this point she seems to be doing better but doctors have no idea she's a tough one.
Storm: Praying for you guys, bro.
musik: I'll definitely be praying for your family, Smaz.
Thamyris: JIBBER!
Smaz: Hey guys don't have time to post a thread at the moment but earlier tonight my mom had to go to the hospital with my great-grandmother who is 94. She was given 12-24 hours. Prayers for my family are much welcomed. On the positive side she was a believer so she's going home. Thanks everyone.
musik: why hello there, skip
Skip: Rwar! hello peoples. of the peoples of the peoples of ace.
NeoJabez: Wish I could help, Jah, but I'm nothing but a brain fart lately. heh
kyriake: hey its me jibber ere, but anew name for a new start
jahwarrior: Help me. Need ideas for the next classic Sig contest! having major brain fart
Thamyris: lol @ Fox
road_block: been gone a couple of days for the jewish holidays. I'm back now! Looking forward to getting to know the new members
Foxer: I love how the censor wont let us say compeCENSOREDion because it has a slang word for mammary glands in there :P
musik: I was going to submit a sig to the compeCENSOREDion, but I ran out of time and I'm still busy :( I'll try later
M&M: I did
NeoJabez: Just a few more days for submissions to the Classic Sig 2 (Collage!) contest. I got mine in! How about you?
road_block: sounds good. Post a link to the screens in a forum post or message me with them, and I'll take care of it for you sometime over the weekend.
Stormsworder: I'd still like it. I want to find some tutorials to follow for making sigs, but imageshack is blocked at college, so anything uploaded there I can't see if some tutorials are hosted there X-x
Road_Block: Well, let me know if you want me to render it for you. I dont mind.
Stormsworder: Actually, wait... I must be so utterly braindead to have read the contest rules so wrong. This is what happens when college fries the ole gray matter. Hm... I wonder if I can still make something good looking though, but considering my lack of Photoshop usage lately... >>;
Stormsworder: Well, it's a character from a TV show. I found some screens taken right from the episodes themselves, but they're not the best quality and stuff... http://buffy.wikia.com/wiki/Doyle
road_block: what do you need rendered. I can make time.
Stormsworder: Yaaaay they unblocked ACE! ...I wonder if I have time to someone to render a screenshot from me for the compeCENSOREDion. I'm so overloaded with school but I want to try and participate ;-;
musik: :( sick = sad
road_block: Uggh I hate being sick!
NeoJabez: I guess it was Jibber/Kyriake.
M&M: cool site NJ. who did it?
Dragonfire20: I like using freeforums, it's what I used for the 1st version of my guild website.
NeoJabez: FYI, Jibber has changed his name at CCG and here to Kyriake! Oh, and check out UMA's latest site: [
www]
Thamyris: well.... sometimes on Friday
Thamyris: no
cat in suits: are we allowed to hack in this server!
Jonping: Yay! can't wait to see it!
NeoJabez: You'll get there, Musik!
musik: So I'm working on a sig for the ACE contest and...it's been a long time since I've used gimp O.O
Jonping: I finally dled a program to extract the .rar file for Vivi's contest which has the loops for me to work with. So hopefully I'll be starting on my entry soon
Road_Block: congratulations! I wish you guys only good things.
Storm: Big congrats, mate!
M&M: good to see you Gen! gratz on the kid! my brother and sister-in-law just had their first.
Gen: Greetings friends! Hope that you are keeping well. Long time no see life is crazy but good. My wife a I are having our first child on Feb 14. Hope to chat with all soon. God Bless
NeoJabez: DF, got it back last night. heh
Jonping: Rawr...!! ..okay back to school lol ;)
Dragonfire20: Maybe if you ask EDAC nicely you can get DB access back.
Storm: aaaand we're back
musik: yay! it's back
M&M: thanks NJ.
NeoJabez: We had a database error that I could have fixed in seconds in the old days, but I no longer have database access. : So, we had to wait.
Stormsworder: It liiiives!
Jonping: lol okay.
NeoJabez: It goes by what they entered on their sign-up. Most are right, just a few put in strange numbers for privacy.
Thamyris: i believe its one age they have in their profile... as far as LOLly being 2011 yrs old. i think thats about right...
Jonping: Umm I noticed in the "View These Profiles" sidebar; Fight has 111 years, and LOLly has 2011 years. If this is how long they've been here, I highly doubt that's right lolz. Not that is relaly matters, but just fyi
Stormsworder: There we go. Although apparently on my big screen, the quality of the video images is fairly poor. XD; Can't read the text. Oh well. When I get the time, I'll probably try to follow some tuts. Maybe we should do something where there's an easy to go through gallery of tutorials instead of just in random forum posts? I dunno XD;
NeoJabez: Storm, do you see the toolbar at the bottom of the webpage? Dark grey bar, with icons on it? (If you don't hit F5 to refresh the webpage.) If you DO see it, Click on the icon that looks like three little photos, it's right in the middle...
RoadBlock: Up in NJ for the day... maybe I should try to find stormfire
Stormsworder: Uh... how do I get to the ACE1 gallery? And hrm... I know I had a sig request a while back, but may either bring that one back up or do a new request..
Dragonfire20: They all work. P.S. Have you seen that administration video, it was really informative.
NeoJabez: You could never get the video tutorials in the ACE1 Media Gallery to work? It's in the toolbar thing at the bottom...When it comes up, go to my name and look for Video Tutorials and tell me if those work...
Stormsworder: Er, CS4 Extended Edition actually. Mom got me the whole suite with everything >>; I still need to learn Dreamweaver in the future X=x
Stormsworder: Ah... CS4. I'm not sure if I wanna leave it on my laptop at school or uninstall it and put it instead on my computer at home. Still deciding that.
NeoJabez: I can try putting some together, Storm...I've been looking for inspiration for a while for some video tuts anyway. What Photoshop version do you own?
road_block: -we'll, I'm not a big photoshop person (I've just stuck with gimp even though I have photoshop). I can look for some tuts for you.
Stormsworder: Ah, well... hard to really explain what I'd like in a tut *shrugs* Just... different ways the sig makers get their effects and something, I dunno. And how to do basic things in Photoshop like resizing properly and all that.
road_block: Stormsworder, I can work on some tutorials. Find things you like and I can try to put together some tuts of things your interested in learning.
Stormsworder: Er... not quite a book, but... XD; It's a Zelda fanfic
Jonping: Wow, you wrote a book on the forums! lolz. I don't have time right now as I"m getting ready to go camping over the weekend, but hopefully soon I"ll get a chance to read it all.
Stormsworder: Heh, sorta around. If I can ever motivate myself to bother getting on my laptop, I might try making sigs again... if I can find some tuts I understand XD;
Jonping: Hey! Nice to see you around again
Stormsworder: Hey, we have a shoutbox, huh? Cool... And uh, oiy, I need to get back into Photoshop... >>; I've been needing some basic beginner Photoshop tutorials, then some sig ones to follow... and a good place to get renders. Planet Renders got confusing a while back... (Also, yes, I am alive. Barely. Blasted college)
Noname: i might be able to try writing a "starting gimp" tutorial series. im sorta busy finishing something else though.
musik: thanks! I've got a bit of schoolwork at the moment, but I'll look at that soon as I can
road_block: If you have an questions musik, I can help you with them.
musik: Yay!
road_block: posted a tutorial on my new lp, take a look.
M&M: lol give me a sec Ill photoshop a check for ya :P I can see it now. :P check from M&M AKA steve Jobs to NJ :P
NeoJabez: I read it, Mickey...If it is true, about doing what I say, I would now like you to give me $1,000,000!
M&M: I posted a blog :P just for NJ
road_block: I will work on something if I have some time. I know there are some good basic tutorials out there that I used when I was learning
NeoJabez: I've asked our GIMP artists around here to make some ACE tutorials for a while...Anybody want to make a very basic, just getting started tut for GIMP? Things like, how to resize a render, copy/paste properly, etc?
road_block: I finally got my desktop fixed and set up again!
musik: I actually do have gimp (for photo editing). If I get some free time (hah) I'll try to find a tutorial or something.
Jonping: Gimp ftw! Especially for being free! I use it, I recommend it. And you definitely should give this a try. I think sig making is a great way to start out. Hopefully see something from you soon?
Road_Block: Most of us are using gimp (which is free), you should give it a go, there are a lot of good tutorials out there and I'm sure everyone would be willing to help out when they have time
musik: I wish I could do cool sigs like you guys. they're all crazy awesome.
Road_Block: ...working on sotw entry!
NeoJabez: I just spammed Mickey's! But...He hasn't left any profile BLOG posts yet!
NeoJabez: You familiar with Joomla? Ya want something on the site? Let us know! By the way, did you know that everyone has their own (Facebook-like) WALL in their profiles? You can go and leave funny messages on their walls!
Storm: Thank you EDAC. We are indebted to you sir.
M&M: Yay EDAC
NeoJabez: Facebook-like chat is back! First thing back up and running after EDAC did a great fix for us on the website's backend! Everything is humming right along again! THANKS EDAC! SO MUCH!
NeoJabez: Now that the backend is kind of working properly again, I'll see about getting that set back up, ASAP.
NeoJabez: Thank you EDAC! Sincerely, sir!
Jonping: He broke it, all the way. :P
Dragonfire20: I think EDAC might be working on it, unless he broke it :P
Jonping: umm.. I'm missing the chat thingummy.
Road_Block: Sounds really cool Neo, I cant wait!
NeoJabez: Having a few odd administration issues we're hoping to fix soon. As soon as these problems are handled, I should be able to do more with people's profiles, and some more interesting stuff for the front page as well. Patience, please, everyone.
Storm: The SOTW forum is now unlocked, in case anyone was having trouble. All users should now be able to post in there.
jahwarrior: Just wanted to Shout. Thank, that will be all
Road_Block: uggh,, I wish my computer was working right. Got damaged by a flood at my house :(
Road_Block: yah, you can chat with it too. cool!
Skip: hey it works
Noname: woah! new users online thingymajig :O
M&M: works fine for me.
Foxer: Seems to be ok now. Before it was squished, I could only see half of folks names
NeoJabez: Can you guys show screenshots? When there's no one on, it says so...when someone is, I see their name. (And a toolbar)...Maybe you guys aren't seeing the whole thing, and it's something I can fix. heh
M&M: then theres probably no one else on.
Foxer: There is. but it doesnt get but a tad bigger than when its mini
NeoJabez: There should be a little maximize thingie.
Foxer: Cool little facebook style chat thingy. Mine is squished though. I cant read whos on
M&M: thats kinda awesome. am I blind for missing the other stuff? good work NJ
Dragonfire20: Not anymore, now there is a nav bar at the bottom
NeoJabez: Yep, but that's not all it is...
Dragonfire20: Users online box in the corner, is that it?
NeoJabez: See anything new?
NeoJabez: REFRESH (F5) the website!
Jonping: I rember when in game admins could play short songs for fun, it was one of them. Twas my favorite. Along with the NFL theme song
Jonping: NeoThemeSong by Thamyris is the best!
NeoJabez: Storm, I'm pretty sure all of the 'blog, wall' profile stuff already works, people just need to try it out, I think.
Dragonfire20: Looks good +1
NeoJabez: Keep checking the mp3 player, I've been adding more tracks, slowly but surely! Also...If you *REALLY* like a song, (Like one of Tham's cover songs), you can hit the RSS link button next to Tham's playlist, and get download links for each song! Yay!
Jonping: Happy bday Skipperz!
M&M: Happy Bday Bro!
Road_Block: Happy Birthday skippy.
musik: Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy biiiirthday dear skippy! happy birthday to you
NeoJabez: And Happy Birthday, Skip!
NeoJabez: I've been able to copy over a few songs, please CLEAR YOUR BROWSER CACHE and review the mp3 player.
Foxer: Ohandi'mfirsttosayhappybdayskipper
Foxer: 3 am and folks still online. amazing
Thamyris: yah, a lot of stuff was changing there when my old pc was turning to stone, EDAC's fault i got ya.. hehehe :P
M&M: NJ if you need help with anything just give me a PM
Dragonfire20: Blame EDAC, it's usually him :P
NeoJabez: The Remository download directory is completely empty, I DID NOT do that. Don't know what happened to it.
Jonping: Whoa! six people on!
Jonping: yay! the shoutbox is back!
NeoJabez: I have no idea why it isn't working, Tham...Unless it has something to do with EDAC making some ftp changes about 8 months ago.
M&M: same thing here thammy.
Thamyris: Is the download section not working for anyone? i just stay a blank screen when i try to go to the download section... hmm... is it just me?
Thamyris: yeah the bg can be any size really. depending on one screen resolution will determine how much of it they see, but know it is always top center alignment, on what ever size you use.
NeoJabez: The current one is 1600x1000, and it isn't showing all of it...Try 1280x1000?
NeoJabez: I'm lookin' now...
M&M: whats the site's background size?
M&M: Would you look at that. its Fox
Foxer: Not bad at all, good fellow
Shoutbox: Quite well, sir. How about you?
Foxer: le gasp! Shoutbox! How have you been old friend?
ChIk3n NuGG3t: School does not block this
NNugget: Hello
Noname: Horray!
(P.S. its just a little big on my screen.)
M&M: Thats hot!
Storm: Boss
musik: Oooooh. Fancy
Road_Block: Woohoo!
Thamyris: =]
NeoJabez: The ShoutBox has returned!
