My brother went on an ISO-CD-image download-fest and exceeded our cheap ADSL's 5 GB download limit over the span of yesterday and today. Thus, any additional bandwidth we use comes as a surcharge.
So, until the next billing period -- July 5th -- I'm going to be using the internet as sparingly as possible. I'll still check e-mail, but otherwise I'm leaving my pager off, not perusing the forums (grr), not browsing the internet (grr), and not checking Lexy's progress on Hedgerow Hall (grr).
If anyone asks, direct them to this post, please.

Posting to the BYONDscape forum requires very little bandwidth. Come, let us amuse you!

ok! we'll miss you during the HrH testing on the 30th! :) What HRH testing? | |
Sariat babbled:
What HRH testing? You don't crawl out of your hole much, do you? :) http://www.digitalbyond.org/hrh/viewtopic.php?t=534 | |
http://www.digitalbyond.org/hrh/viewtopic.php?t=534 Maybe he just doesn't crawl into that hole which is plagued by many eyesore features :P. | |
eyesore? ok, granted the graphics aren't the best (roleplaying skill is more important than eye-candy at this point), but so far Lexy is one of the few developers who actually builds functional, enjoyable (for most, not everyone of course) and popular games in this community. can't knock it for that.

I really enjoyed her Black Ball Line game, it'd be cool if that could be player hosted. I would even give her some space on my webserver for the hub package if she needed it. O.o

He's back! And, though it extends beyond the realm of fathomability, he has discovered that it is actually possible to survive without the internet for a time!

I think he was talking about the forum colors. Not only that but signatures, space wasted on pointless information and images, and no nice apparent thread view :P. The BYOND forum is the only decent forum I know of that isn't cluttered with a bunch of crap. | |
Hear hear! The BYOND forums are the best-designed forums I have ever seen. phpbb probably comes a close second, and ezboard.com maybe third. (Except that ezboard.com has literally dozens of ads on each page unless you pay them.)
UltimateBB has to be the worst forum system ever invented, though. Yuck, yuck, yuck, just YUCK. | |

I don't see what people hate so much about ezboard, but you're probably right about Invision. I don't use it that much, so I forgot about it. =)
