I Don't Think New People Can Sign Up
« on: 09 Feb 2010, 22:27 »

at least, several people I know have signed up to join these forums, and they aren't getting verification emails.  Trying multiple email accounts and asking the forum to resend the email multiple times doesn't seem to work.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Is that a thing? Do people say "hey I'm on this forum you should join too?" I think that's weird. The people I know on this forum are the only ones I would recommend it to. And they were here before me.

well I wouldn't recommend it to people I know in real life I suppose, but I go to another forum besides this one, and I'd mentioned it to a few people I know there.

the email system is screwed, and this happened when the forum software was updated. So you don't get any email notification, and when people join they don't get the email with their password or activation link or whatever. Other people have brought this up, and I have talked to est about it, so he knows about it. He PM'd Ashton (the other admin) about it, but the dude hasn't gotten the email saying he has a PM about the email issue.


So yeah, there is a problem, yeah new people aren't able to actually post, but there's nothing anyone can really do about it.

How about a wall of ballistic towers surrounding the community.

To make sure they never make it here in the first place we could tick them as an allience, build ballistic towers in their commuinity and once we've built up their trust (and our towers) we untick them and let the towers obliterate them.

Also works in age of empires!

Quote from: Dr. Strangelove
Dr. Strangelove: I would not rule out the chance to preserve a nucleus of human specimens. It would be quite easy...heh, heh...at the bottom of ah...some of our deeper mineshafts. Radioactivity would never penetrate a mine some thousands of feet deep, and in a matter of weeks, sufficient improvements in dwelling space could easily be provided.

Muffley: How long would you have to stay down there?

Dr. Strangelove: ...I would think that uh, possibly uh...one hundred years...It would not be difficult Mein Fuhrer! Nuclear reactors could, heh...I'm sorry, Mr. President. Nuclear reactors could provide power almost indefinitely. Greenhouses could maintain plant life. Animals could be bred and slaughtered. A quick survey would have to be made of all the available mine sites in the country, but I would guess that dwelling space for several hundred thousands of our people could easily be provided.

Muffley: Well, I, I would hate to have to decide...who stays up and...who goes down.

Dr. Strangelove: Well, that would not be necessary, Mr. President. It could easily be accomplished with a computer. And a computer could be set and programmed to accept factors from youth, health, sexual fertility, intelligence, and a cross-section of necessary skills. Of course, it would be absolutely vital that our top government and military men be included to foster and impart the required principles of leadership and tradition. Naturally, they would breed prodigiously, eh? There would be much time, and little to do. Ha, ha. But ah, with the proper breeding techniques and a ratio of say, ten females to each male, I would guess that they could then work their way back to the present Gross National Product within say, twenty years.

Muffley: Wouldn't this nucleus of survivors be so grief-stricken and anguished that they'd, well, envy the dead and not want to go on living?

Dr. Strangelove: When they go down into the mine, everyone would still be alive. There would be no shocking memories, and the prevailing emotion will be one of nostalgia for those left behind, combined with a spirit of bold curiosity for the adventure ahead! [involuntarily gives the Nazi salute and forces it down with his other hand]Ahhh!

Turgidson: Doctor, you mentioned the ratio of ten women to each man. Now, wouldn't that necessitate the abandonment of the so-called monogamous sexual relationship, I mean, as far as men were concerned?

Dr. Strangelove: Regrettably, yes. But it is, you know, a sacrifice required for the future of the human race. I hasten to add that since each man will be required to do prodigious...service along these lines, the women will have to be selected for their sexual characteristics which will have to be of a highly stimulating nature.

Russian Ambassador: I must confess, you have an astonishingly good idea there, Doctor.

Do you realize that in addition to fluoridating water, why, there are studies underway to fluoridate salt, flour, fruit juices, soup, sugar, milk, ice cream? Ice cream, Mandrake? Children's ice cream!...You know when fluoridation began?...1946. 1946, Mandrake. How does that coincide with your post-war Commie conspiracy, huh? It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual, and certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works. I first became aware of it, Mandrake, during the physical act of love...Yes, a profound sense of fatigue, a feeling of emptiness followed. Luckily I-I was able to interpret these feelings correctly. Loss of essence. I can assure you it has not recurred, Mandrake. Women, er, women sense my power, and they seek the life essence. I do not avoid women, Mandrake...but I do deny them my essence.
