The Letting Off Steam Thread

Other video games, TV shows, movies, general chit-chat...this is an all-purpose off-topic board where you can talk about anything that doesn't have its own dedicated section.

Any long recaps, best to have Microsoft Word to the side and save it in there as you go.

That's what I usually do. Just this time I wanted to try the 'save draft' feature on the forums.

Not doing that again.

How hard is it to use the "Save Draft" feature? I use it all the time, not once has a draft been deleted for me.

I worked too long on it maybe? I was on the thing for approx. 90 minutes. When I hit "save draft", the thing asked me to log in again and it came right back to the "post a reply" screen, and the text box showed up blank. :? Do the forums log you off after a while?

I'm using notepad again.

It happened few times to me too when I took too long to reply (reading other shite), but that was before using Chrome. When it happens now, I just click Back on the browser.

I just click back in the browser. It seems to save that session in the cache and whatever I have written in the box.

Thanks shadow. (Y) but I'll probably just stick with using notepad.

Postby Doobie on Sun Feb 20, 2011 3:04 am

So yesterday, my ex-girlfriend and her 'best friend' went to go buy massive amount of drugs (since they sell drugs together) and the kid got robbed and stabbed while my ex waited in the car. I am actually happy about this, part of me wishes he would've gotten severely hurt. I know it's wrong, but he is the reason a 2 year relationship with her was ended. After she met him at a new job, she started doing a whole bunch of drugs (cocaine, ecstacy, acid, angeldust) and started selling drugs to support her life. I told her to choose between me and the drug lifestyle and she chose the other one. I don't mind if she smokes weed, or does other drugs sparingly. But it became a daily habit, and she has admitted that if she had never met the kid she never would've been introduced to this lifestyle. Knowing her she won't learn her lesson from this experience, she's gotten robbed before in the same situation. She's also gotten caught by the cops with a ton of cocaine in her car that she was going to sell, but got out of trouble cause the cop was her friends brother. Honestly I'm over her and the whole situation, I gave up on her last summer. But I feel that bad that I am satisfied that this happened to them.

Honestly doobz, in my experience she probably would've found a way to access that culture anyway. He was just convenient. Shame she picked drugs over you but then again, you dont want that kind of girl anyway.

I've heard this from various people as well, but I honestly don't care. I'm over it, I just wrote that mainly to say I feel good something bad happened to them, but I don't think I should feel good about it.

Gah, the damn Video Game Stories section needs some 5 hour energy. We have like 3 Thierry posts, 10 corrupted save files of thatwizardguys, and two College Hoops 2k8 Legacies by me. We need a College Basketball Legacy section (Y)
