Lol, pretty much all of the Admin team speak finnish as a primary language, so that shouldn't be a problem :)

if any area of the forums are being "neglected", i think the members/seniors/and addicts are just as much to blame (not that anyone is being blamed). It is everyone's resposibility to the site to use the "report offensive post" feature so we can get to it and deal with it in a timely manner.

- spot on comment by the young darth. Before i was mod i used to hit that button like every 5mins. i had no idea what the mods saw when reports were made/whether it made life easier or harder, but i don't see things wrong and just ignore them. now i see the reports and they're an excellent help. However we need much more stuff reporting, this means ppl need to help us help them more by hitting that button as much as they can. Us mods do spend a lot of time actively searching/weeding out the idiots/misdemeanours/genuine mistakes etc but because a lot of members just 'turn the other cheek' there's only so much stuff we can sort out.

I Wasn't slagging you mods off or anything, i was thinking about the psp forum in perticular but creaky went in yesterday and edited everything.

- gonna repeat some of what i've said above i guess. Lately i myself have been venturing into some of the console forums and while a big part of the problem is the age group of a large chunk of the posters, a huge problem in the threads is that some members ignore lots of email posting/abusive language/behaviour instead of reporting it or just mention it to the person who's done those things. In those kind of forums it only takes one poster to post their email addy or start abusing someone and the whole thread degenerates. Like the other mods i swathe thru threads/posters like a grim reaper but there's so much crap in there that's not reported to us, that it feels like an impossible task. Every time i visit the forums, whether as a mod or as a contributor, and back when i was a member or addict, every single time i saw something wrong i reported it, we just need more ppl to do the same.

@Creaky, that makes me feel a whole lot better, I thought I was just being a Whinger each time I hit the Offensive Report button. Cheers.

Well said Creaky,

Point taken.

I didn't see this job opening till now. Im a unemployed paralegal with great understanding of digital video, movie backups, P2P etc....I also can type rather quickly. If you don't have anyone lined up I'd be glad to send you my info.

thanks

I suppose I could cope with the English part but I think that in all fairness I ought to have a more indepth knowledge base in some areas which I'm rapidly gaining by perusing the various forums. I will take on the challenge sooner than later. I'm sure that whoever is chosen will without a doubt be a suitable candidate and will perform with the distinction and professionalism which this Admin has.

God Dang it! If would figger that this has been filled by the time I get to see it.

Hey, I used to work for MP3.com... Give me a hollar, if your guy does nto work out. I wrote a good portion of the FAQ that they had up on site: What MP3s were, how you made them, what client software was the best, and how to get around various problems.

I usually work per article... If anyone is interested, just PM me.

I'm, not 15 years old though, so maybe I do not qualify?

Krikes!

It figgers, I would make a TYPO posting that! Just make "nto" = "not"

Poop!

Lethal... I know, but the <img src="http://i.afterdawn.com/v3/f_edit.gif"> button ain't showing.

(is that html code gonna work, hm...)

the button ain't showing... Test Test

Usually I get a preview too, but I am not... Ah, it must be the Quick Reply button or something. Ahaha!

EDIT: I see... I was posting a reply through the ARTICLE. I am in the Phorum now... and now I got de button.

Ah I do not know... I am only good at figuring out how to use DvD Decrypter and DVD Shrink these days. Bfahaha!

I was on cutting edge when we were figuring out the ins and outs of MP3 files... But now everyone and their mamma knows how to use WinLAME to make good MP3s.

What is Afterdawn.com all about anyway? I usually come here to talk about DVD Decrypter/Shrink or other programs for enforcing our Digital Home Recording Act Rights.

I am pretty familiar with software, and a I know how to make a good maching from spare parts- But I am not too clear on these new 64 bit processors and OS's.

Cos, my Atlhon 2400+ XP is still running just fine, I have no reason to upgrade to any Hyperthreaded Bullpoopoo yet. Plus, nobody even KNEW that when they were buying thier 3 GHz system from Wall-Mart, they were getting ripped, cos XP Home Ed don't handle the memory the way Pro does. Also, they bought a 3 GHz HP or Gateway, but the actual speed was about 1.8 Gig, cos they did not have Dual Channel configged correctly.

I take it this place deals with hardware and Software and the best combos thereof? All I know is that this was the last bastion of Freedom, the only place where we could obtain a copy of DVD Decrypter, until Macro-Pissin "enforced their Intellectual Property Rights" and forced AD.com to stop allowing DL's of DVD Decrypter.

Honestly, I do not see HOW they can claim ownership, as LuK literally GAVE source code to the Public. So, they can NOT claim IP on DVD Decrypter.

Anyway, L-UK is still making stuff, and I am sure there is a lot of "private" under the table sophtware, that Macro-Vishna has no IP claim on and never will.

Ah, glack, don't get me started on this shi-ite, it is my pet peeve. Nobody tells me that I cannot enforce my G-d and State-Given right to protect the stuff I BUY. M-Vision can K my A.

Ah Well:

Yah. I have not been in here since November or something. I came in here, to post my rants about DVD-D being pulled off the serverz here.

Too bad, cos it's what I am best at doing, I used to beta test software, compare it to other software, then write about it.

See, the shite of it is, that the companies who make the stuff will pay you a lot to be a shill and write all kinds of favourable reviews about software that stinks, in this case, the Windows Media Format (ASF/WMx)-

Remember this?

"Windows Media Files sound better than MP3's and are half the size!"

Meaning, a 64 Kbps ASF file is of course half the size of a 128 Kbps MP3 file. Well of course it is! And is sounds like poo too!

Considering that 128 Kbps is NOT industry standard for MP3s... 192 Kbps is web-site standard now... But 320 Kbps is the actual standard for people who work on music- In the business, I mean, movies are made and some of the soundtrack has been transferred on I-Pods like that.

So, my newest peeve is WMA and all that DRM crapola. I have found about five different ways to make certain content play.

But the whole point is: WHY bother breaking DRM on content that is by default inferior? There is no reason to do this, yet people spend hours and days breaking into DRM.

See, that is what I fear about the future of Software: Everything will be DRMmmed to deth. I have a friend that bought Pinnacle. I re-installed it into his machine for him. The program did not work until it connected to a website and activated. What bunk!

My goal in life is to see DRM done away with, and to see the day when people buy a product, they GET the product. I have no problems buying software, DVDs or Audio CDs- I'll even pay a high price for stuff I need. But I will NOT pay a high price for anything that has some kind of crappy LOCK on it and I cannot USE it until I have proved that I bought it 7 different times at 7 different DRM sites.

I think the fact that I had forked over a few pieces of paper with Ben Franklin's Face on it proves I bought it, do you not agree?

Nuff Sed... Sorry about the Tome, Haha!
