wow this forum is still alive

Post by Jayen »

so a google search for name brought me back here. (was trying to prove a point to my cubemate.) i'm surprised this forum is still alive and kicking. how are people doing these days?

p.s. is there an rss feed?

Hiya Jayen! Hope Australia's treating you well.

From what I can tell, Jonathan hasn't gotten around to supporting an RSS feed since he pulled it many moons ago (related link).

It would be handy though! I already use RSS to follow new threads on another forum (bluegartr rss thread started by me) so I'm pretty sure I'd use it for here too. However, I'm not sure how a private RSS feed for the private forums would work, or if it's even possible without significant custom code.

THIS FORUM WILL NEVER DIE

Did you prove the point? OR were you denied?

We're frequently the most relevant site for mohtalim related news and discussion on the internet. It's nice, in a creepy sort of way.

I died. Twice!

australia's treating me okay. doing a phd now, not sure what i'm doing or when i'll finish.

private rss feeds work fine in akregator, since it integrates with konqueror for cookies and other authentication mechanisms. thanks for that link. i see some things never change. (i keep wanting an rss feed, otherwise my visits become quite occasional.) a discussion about rss feeds for phpbb here at my new uni: https://forums.web.cse.unsw.edu.au/supp ... 2926#34405

yeah, i proved my point. he was talking about fame or something, so i was googling our names to show something or another about results for me vs. him. i don't remember anymore. i just remember winning.

PhD of awesome sauce. I think my cousin went to that university... he actually moved to Australia to not have to join the Taiwan military service. Wussy asians!

Not needed with robotics, amirite?

/me attempts to sidestep that diversionary land-mine by noting that Battle Athletes Victory (Anime News Network) had an amusing idea to resolve all conflict with sports!

Good find. I'm liking PHD Comics so far.

It also reminds me that I should watch more mythbusters for lulz!
