Actually, all you have to do is copy/paste the code ;) AIM: SmarterChild Write To Me Here I think it all started with the Declaration of Independence -- the idea that we had the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That pursuit is what took America from the revolution to the computer age in 200 years. But the progress has come at a price. The obvious being the people that were exploited to make it possible; the not so obvious being us, the first group of people that were given no obvious frontiers to conquer. We hear stories about the good old days that don't seem to apply anymore. It's a generation gap that leaves us without role models. But the bright side is that without role models, there are no roles. Maybe that's what the 60s were all about -- getting rid of the roles. But what do we replace them with? Without any guidance, what do we replace them with? Without any guidance, the choices become overwhelming. Sometimes it just makes everything feel hopeless. So we destroy our bodies in the search of an ideal. Try to salvage relationships that don't work. We feel we must do something, instead of doing something that we feel. It is the prison of self-imposed momentum, and the sad part is that we get used to it. It reminds me of a song I heard the other day. It's called "The Going Nowhere Fast." But the people I have met here have shown me another side of Nowhere. They've pointed out the beautiful irony that stagnation makes it easy to stop and smell the roses, if we just let it. What would we be if we had nothing to rebel against? Well we could finally be ourselves, the first group of people who stopped looking for the answers long enough to appreciate the questions. And all we have to do is to make our own Declaration of Independence. We can embrace the right to life and liberty by simply realizing that happiness exists -- not to pursue, but to accept. After that the only challenge would be to make sure with the rest of our lives that we weren't just another fad. I don't know, it's an idea. What do you think?

O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00	Well, as most of you have probably noticed, I've been busy as hell on the board because I'm bored as hell at work and coding the board LOOKS like I'm busy cause no one knows what I do. Anyway, got a few things done.... Default fonts/colors for members' posts Auto-forwarding: Login page now produces a "Thank you for logging in" page that forwards you to the page you came from (this makes the cookie work). Replying to a thread gives you the "thank you for posting" which forwards to your post in the thread. New Topic forwards you to the forum you posted in. Big one for the admin tools - I finally added ALL of the functionality I had promised months ago into the Member List tool. Any more ideas? New AIM, y'know.

Donâ€™t get me wrong, I am not fighting to uphold the restraints that give protection to rights fully accrued upon facts so nearly permanent as to be substantially impervious to change, rather I am for the supervision of changing conduct or conditions and are thus provisional or tentative.

O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00	you might want to consider a pop-up or some other kind of list of fonts/colors with samples (not "blue/green/red" but those wierd ee33e3e names) for people who aren't as familiar with internet typography. I know.. it's just trimmings.. but it's an idea. No! I am NOT a Goth Dude!! "You don't know what it's like, you don't have a clue If you did you'd find yourselves doing the same thing too!!"
