I think it's for the best that we can't be searched and spied on by Outsiders anyway :/

They reached me today. Is that even possible?!?!?!? that's less time then it would probably take to get it from within NZ.

I used to get books that fast from Amazon then I moved to Dunedin and they started to take two weeks. Moving things around NZ obviously sux.

Posted a random comment to a 'stuff' article (http://stuff.co.nz/4636468a11.html) to see if they check them for validity...

Guess not.

CCS · 31st July 2008, 14:11

That's perfectly valid!

Gentl e · 31st July 2008, 14:12

Did you read the terms and conditions...

http://stuff.co.nz/static/html/blogs...onditions.html

Guess not.

Draco T Bastard · 31st July 2008, 14:18

ATM, Stuff isn't talking to me. All other web pages are fine though.

And?

Gentl e · 31st July 2008, 14:21

I'll post the salient points then:

Perhaps they thought it was satire?

Gentl e · 31st July 2008, 14:59

Checking every single comment for validity is just stupid, the T & C was created to pre-empt anal little shits posting crap and then get their panties in a twist because stuff didn't pick it up for what are extremely obvious reasons.

This is just another shit attempt at someone trying to troll the newspaper websites for doing their job, its actually getting pretty old now. Let's see your attempt at something similar that works as a business model - front up or fuck off.

Agreed. Gentle was popping his o-ring like this when I was having a go at the Herald for their shit 'SWAT' reporting. Is he some sort of defender of journalism or something?

JP · 31st July 2008, 15:28

Is nzgames the fastest loading page for anyone else? I'm guessing its hosted in NZ, but even then, it's just really fucking quick, even on slow as shit work internet when everything else loads so slow.

CCS · 31st July 2008, 15:29

Surely if all it's loading is text, which is the bulk of this site, it would load quicker ?

But then, I am not a nerd, so what would I know...

Haydos · 31st July 2008, 15:31

Forum wise, the lack of avatars and images in the signatures would make this forum far more snappy than most.

JP · 31st July 2008, 15:32

Yeah true that. Fuck forums that allow users to have 1 meg .gifs as their avatar or sig.

Redneck · 31st July 2008, 15:32

most let you switch those off

Lightspeed · 31st July 2008, 15:34

Yeah, but that usually means you have to sign up. If you want to lurk or just pop by for a looky-loo, avatars in forums are super lame.

Most don't switch them off, therefore even if you do, you're suffering because they're hogging more of the server bandwidth, making the page slower.

I thought you were referring to
"If you place reliance on material posted in the comments areas you do so at your own risk, and you indemnify us (and our related entities) from any liabilities, claims, costs, loss (including consequential loss) or damage suffered or caused by reason of your reliance on any material posted in the comments areas."

Yep. Avatars are stupid. Thumbs up for not having any.

Sp0nge · 31st July 2008, 16:30

I dont think i've ever seen a storm affect so much of new zealand as these last two have done

...it must be costing insurance companies million$

Beccara · 31st July 2008, 16:34

It's funny since its not really a huge storm, atleast not from what i've seen in wellington, its a fairly normal storm for us, Upper Hutt gets fucked and SH1 out of town is affected, nothing major at all

buckies · 31st July 2008, 16:46

I wanna know what nerve was struck too

CCS · 31st July 2008, 17:02

I think Gentle is too busy at work. You know, taking bookings for classified ads.

The olds lost $45k worth of trees and shit in the storm apparently.

Reformed_Quint · 31st July 2008, 17:35

I just designed the best damn roundabout in the fucking world.

And no one will ever know it was me *sniffle*

CCS · 31st July 2008, 17:50

Yeah? Did you manage to make it perfectly circular this time?

crocos · 31st July 2008, 17:56

I heard it was shaped like a klein bottle

Gentl e · 31st July 2008, 18:04

So, whereabouts will this amazing roundabout appear?
