My walls are buzzing.

There's a surprising amount of stuff that has to be fixed when you convert forums.

Fixing bugs! This should be fun.

Nah, it's definitely a problem on vB's side. Do you see it now?

You can see the list of member titles and how to achieve them here:

http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/104-user-titles/

It's automatic and based on post count. Just a note, though: not many people will see comments posted on your profile unless they specifically come looking. Status updates (posted above) are displayed on the right of the front page, though.

To post in the Politics forum, you have to have at least 30 posts and have been registered for 10 days. It's to keep people from signing up just for Politics.

What do you mean? You can delete your avatar and user information yourself if you so desire.

When you visit someone's profile, go to the Friends box on the right and click "Befriend (name)".

It's definitely me. Surprised?

The reasons for the closure of your thread are here: http://www.scienceforums.net/forum/showpost.php?p=524860&postcount=6

iNow is not killing your discussions. He is not a moderator. He is simply an active member who reads most threads on this forum, and so he notices your threads and happens to disagree with primal therapy. So he responds.

The old username was simply "Zolar V". You can try logging in under that name; if you don't remember the password, there should be a link saying "forgot my password" that will have it email you a new password to your @aol.com email address. (If that address is no longer functioning, I can change it for you.)

Scientific-sounding gibberish is still gibberish.

And egotistical gibberish is still gibberish. Look at what you write. To anyone who is not you, it looks like utter garbage. Learn to write and explain yourself.

blike started the forum, I just joined in on the fun

Regarding politics, philosophy and religion -- it's not that we believe there is a different level of thought that goes into them, but that they very easily devolve into anger and rhetoric. We were forced to remove our original philosophy and religion forums years ago because of this, and the restrictions are an attempt to prevent that from happening again.

I hope you enjoy SFN!

I'm afraid we've never done a large role-playing game on SFN before, but you could certainly organize a round in the Lounge. Just start a thread asking for participants.

Regarding your post in "So you've got a new theory": I believe it's here:

http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/10298-so-youve-got-a-new-theory/page__st__40

The confusion may be because there are two discussions with the same "So, you've got a new theory": one in Speculations and one in Other Sciences, where you posted.

Testing for a vBulletin bug. &   blah blah blah ablahdfajelf ^*$

My apologies. Looks like cabinintheforest came back.

You go up in the ranking "ladder" as you make more posts. The list is detailed here:

Sure. You can look back through the announcements forum for old announcements and news about changes on SFN. If you have specific questions you can ask me and I'll try to answer them for you. I've been here for four years, so I've seen quite a bit of SFN's history.

You'll probably want to make it an extra post. I'd have to disable the global edit time limit otherwise.

Right now we're kind of putting GUTs on hold. I'll get back to you when we've sorted everything out.

Fixed, in a fashion. I thought I'd leave in a detail or two so people would know where it had gone.
