...I'm 6'0, 275 with little upper body strength (legs are strong as hell, though) and I can do 10 without getting sore dude. :P


I have strong legs too, long ago I was a great runner, but I had fluid in my leg and since then I cant run worth crap, even though it cleared completely up. Worst feeling I've ever had too. Would rather go through appendix surgery again than to have fluid in my leg. I was basically disabled. I had to get a doctors note for PE so I didn't have to do tough stuff, and a letter to all my teachers in middle school so they would know I might be late because I could barely walk.

I've never had much arm/hand strength. I need to start building muscle, but I'm too lazy.


I'm pretty much exactly the opposite. I took being academically gifted as an excuse to get unfit. Looking back, as I come from a family with terrible heart problems this probably wasn't the best idea. Recently I've been more enthusiastic about getting fit and building muscle than ever before. I have poor upper body strength but great abdominal strength.

Why do women think they are better than everyone else? Keep reading to see what i am talking about exactly, before jumping to conclusions etc.

My town that I live in has 3 types of females: Chavs. Obese. Old.

Whenever I'm out and about, doing whatever, there is always multiple females walking (which is obviously fine, free country and all).
What's annoying is that no matter how wide the path is, they are side by side, they will never move out of the way so you, 1 person, can get by (this is when they are walking towards you).

Whether I am alone or with 100 friends, I will ALWAYS move out the way for ANYONE to get past so they don't have to walk/step on the road. Guys always even seem to do this when I walk past them, someone will always move, whereas females NEVER move out the way, even when hogging the entire pathway. It really pisses me off, because I then have to literally step on the road.

The worst offenders are actually the older women. I think they think they have lived on this planet long enough, so WE (the younger generation) owe them and they have earned the right to not move, and we need to show them some respect and all that crap.

Ones that are almost as bad - and really do annoy me - are any aged female with a child (so they are using a push chair, buggy etc). If there is one of them, then I don't mind because obviously they can't help it, but so often there is multiple of them all in a row, and not one of them will budge a slight bit.


End of rant? Yeah :P


I get this a lot, too. But I've found a really good way of dealing with it; you'll need a sub-machine gun and nerves of steel. It's not for the lighthearted or those who dislike loud noises and the colour red, though, so I'm warning you here.

Text Color: 000000
Link Color, Active, and Visited Link: 006bd0
Category Text Color: FFFFFF
Windows Background 1, AND 2: DFDFDF
Board Highlight, and Thread Highlight: DFDFDF

Everything else, leave it alone.

Breeze by SilentDeath


I'm trying to install this for a friend on his proboard as he is proboards illiterate, but the instructions here are throwing me off.

I enter in exactly what you say and leave everything else blank, but I get this:

The following errors were found:

* One or more of the colors entered had errors. All colors must be entered in proper hex format. If you need help with the colors, you can click the button next to each form field to have a diagram of some colors you can choose from. Make sure that all form entries that require colors are filled out (none may be blank).


Help would greatly be appreciated.


I think Silent is assuming you're installing this skin on a fresh ProBoard. Therefore, when he says "everything else, leave it alone" I think he means leave the other fields on the page as the PB default colours. What you have done, however, is delete all the other values (the ones that he does not tell you to change, i.e everything but Text Color, Link Color, Active, and Visited Link, Category Text Color, Windows Background 1, and 2, Board Highlight, and Thread Highlight). They need to be left as the PB default colours.

Has anybody else noticed how depressing the woman's voice is? It seems to be saying 'There is no possible chance these tribes will survive the next decade. They're totally fucked.'

This might have to go in The Lit Corner, but I didn't post it there because I feared the first time anybody would read it would be mid 2020.

So. Anyone particularly good at it? Anyone in the midst of writing something? Do you have awesome plot ideas that you just want to put out there?

I have an awesome idea for a visual novel, but there's no way in hell I'm going to be able to find somebody good to do the art. So that's my current writing-related side project.

It's uh... pretty ugly. There's way too much inner glow and drop shadow, neither of which should be needed on a game title screen.

Some suggestions for a game title screen might be (depending on the type of game): to use a single enticing screengrab from the game and place the text unobtrusively, to make a slideshow of screengrabs from the game (each fading gently into another) and place the text unobtrusively, or make an illustration depicting elements in the game.

I'm actually pretty sure I'm paranoid: at night, while I'm trying to get to sleep, if I hear any creak or bump, I jump out of bed, heart pounding, to search my house and make sure all doors/windows are locked before I go back to bed.

Recently, it's gotten so bad that I actually have to sleep listening to music. D:

I only count steps if I'm not in a hurry and there are a lot of them.

Is this... Junior High, by chance? The last recess I've had in school was in 5th grade, no offense. Things are probably just arranged differently where you go to school, but recess just reminds me of elementary. xD

...please tell me you don't go and play on the swings during recess.


Recess is only a name.
