another point made by Marco is worth considering, namely that the old "classics" (what's your favourite movie/band/song, etc. etc.) tend to put people off because they've seen it all before. It's not because we've all seen those before, it's because those are enumerate topics. Every topic is basicly a list where everyone adds their own favorite movie/band/whatever and after everyone has posted the topic dies out. Topics like that also usually have no discussion value at all, although some topics, like the Song Lyrics topic, are an exception in this. Another reason why topics like that die out fairly quick here is because we don't have enough active members to keep topics like that alive. That's also why those kinds of topics usually don't get more than 2 pages of replies.

As always happens, i've yet againfailed to do what was intended(taking care of LTS). Going back from Milan was a mess with the roads all closed, more than 4 hours in the car to do 150 kilometers. And the PC for the client i was working on decided to go screwy (the bad kind of screwy, the ones that makes you go "what the hell is happening here, why now and why to me") right 5 minutes after he phoned me and me saying it was all right and tomorrow i would have brought it back (accorded the price, the hardware changes, everything).
I know it might seem like i'm always making excuses and it' so frustrating to imagine many of you will probably think "hes just lazy". This is not true... sadly, i've always felt "unlucky" and these constant problems i have every week are just the proof of it. I don't reall ytrust in luck, just "wrong fatalities at the wrong times". I have them a lot.
*groans in frustration*

Coming out of the woodwork for a second here… Marco, I’m sure that every one of us would rather see LTS slow down, or even lose it for a bit, than have it add to another load of stress for you. I know lazy, and you’re not it.  Non-Internet life has a nasty habit of getting in the way, but again, I'm sure we realise that. Good luck with the various fatalities.

SimpReal I wasn't helping either, considering that I abandoned LTS for several days once again. Sorry... I'll try to make up for that. And about separate Offtopic board - maybe it will help, maybe it won't, why not try it anyway? It won't make things worse for sure. I'm for such a board, I'm even ready do create it and sort out threads for it if someone gives me my admin privileges back. -_-

SimpRealWow, this is definitely a change!  I logged on today and was greeted by a completely different forum appearance than the one I've been used to. Nice job separating things though Marco, this could really help clarify things after adding a few finishing touches.

If this is an indication lazy!Marco's dedication, I'd fear that active!Marco would work himself to death  . Anyway, new layout's looking good to me, the offtopic threads seem much better not mixed in with announcements/etc.

Marco, how are your moderation settings in your profile set?
If you go to Profile > Look and Layout Preferences > Show Quick Moderation > Checkboxes
You can check off each topic you want to move around with a check box when viewing the MessageIndex (topic names) then use the drop downs near the bottom of the page to move them all in one go to the designated new board in one go rather than having to go into each topic individually.

I like the changes, really. George's right, the forum looks almost brand new. Good job with new sections' descriptions  Marco did a good job, hopefully posting on LTS will be a bit more pleasant and convenient now.

I'm gonna get back on topic in this post...
This week has just been hell for me. A few things to do with my life have not gone the way I planned them to, my teachers have been loading massive heaps of work on me, and to top it off, today I randomly came down with a vicious illness. This morning I woke up fine, but in the middle of the day my throat began to hurt very badly. Now it's 3:40 in the afternoon (or 15:40), and I'm sitting here literally shaking. My head feels like a train ran over it, I have such a massive headache. I seem so groggy, I feel burning hot and ice cold at the same time. It hurts to swallow. I've taken medicine, but that'll take awhile to kick in, plus a raging fever like this doesn't just dissipate in a day. More than likely I'll be staying home tomorrow, it's that bad.
Ugh...

Lol... ~_~ I wish i had knew this sooner  Thanks anyway! GH: Oh... i ask forgiveness, i wrote the things in the song lyrics thread not knowing you were phisically sick. It sounds quite like when i had a strong attack of sinusitis, so i understand how it feels. You'll go through it, and remember that these things never go away when they seem to have gotten away.... so keep yourself in control even after you'll be alright.
