This is for you...

I'm a photoshop God...

For all you big thinkers, science and space fanatics (or if you never really thought about how vast the universe possibly could be)... Here. http://htwins.net/scale2/ Side note: It would probably be a perfect thing to watch when stoned or drunk. I'm not either of those but I'm putting on my favorite ambient/spacy track in the background.

I hate working with people who bullshit. Instead of doing something simply they big it up with technical terms and over complicate the process so they can show off at the end.

Although I'm the new guy, I thought I'd add a couple things. These are only my opinions, so do with them what you will. Regarding YouTube, I wouldn't count on earning any money from it (at least not for awhile). I believe it's ridiculously hard to get enough views to drive a check from YT. One of my gaming friends has three times the viewers I have, way more hits, and hasn't seen a penny. Certainly, I wouldn't discourage YT. In fact, I really want to boost my channel and get it active again. YT and videos are way fun. I'm just saying that it probably won't earn income. The ads might work (never had a site with Adsense, but it sounds a lot easier to earn money than with YT), but to drive legit clicks you'd need to bring people here with content. Content is king. I like the blog idea. It gives content, it would be constantly changing (hopefully), and I don't think they take a ton of programming to set up. Seems like there's lots of software to do it, and I know PowerBoard has their own module for it. For my money, I think the server idea would be the best way to get people here. Certainly, I'm looking for a BF4 server. Seems logical that lots of people will also want to find a good server and not just use random ones. If you have a server, people will also want to go to the forums to meet others on the server. Presto - new people becoming members and contributing. However, I know servers cost $$$. You may want to think about a donation page/button. Maybe some of the dedicated members can pitch in a few bucks each month. May not cover all your costs, but it would help. Ultimately, and this is just my opinion, I wouldn't do anything that you can't afford to do on your own. I'd figure out how much you're willing to spend each month just because you want to do it. That way, you're not going to be upset if the money doesn't start coming in. If there's anything I can do to help, let me know.

I`ve gotten kicked out of the strip club

Right, now that I'm content with the way the forum looks, I'm going to start investigating and researching the next stages of my plan. First off, I want a "portal", which will be the vanilla URL, with the forum probably moving to www.forevergaming.co.uk/forum The portal will direct to different parts of the site. A few ideas I have is a blog, written by gamers for gamers. I'll be recruiting people to write for that too, so if you think you have what it takes, I'll give you your own page and you can write down whatever you want. Another option I'll be investigating is a shop. I'd like to start selling things like shirts, mugs, stickers, keychains, all that kind of thing. Would you purchase anything like that? I'll also be appealing to you guys to design some stuff for this. This isn't to make money, but rather just for the hell of it, and it's promotion, something we need to start doing. Another idea I've got is to host some servers. I'll probably start off with a Minecraft server (Feed The Best to be exact) and if it takes off, move on from there, perhaps a DayZ server or even a BF4 server, if there's enough demand. I'll also need someone to set up a FG Youtube channel, which I might monetize to help cover the hosting fees for servers and whatnot. These are just a few ideas, throw in some feedbak please. Not just "sounds good" but actual feedback. This will be a massive project on top of my work and private life so if I'm to go ahead with it, I'll need people I can rely on to help out and I'll need to be 100% sure of what I / we want before going ahead as I don't want to go to al lthis effort only for it to be a waste. Thoughts?

I'm trying to keep the board as clean as I can, and things on the sidebar are starting to get cluttered. I'm thinking of removing the status updates, especially as it won't be used much by newer folks once they start flooding in. Thoughts?

I'll kick it off: I own pancakes. Been perfecting them for over 12 years. My pumpkin pancakes are particularly devastating. Base recipe: 2 cups milk 2 Tablespoons lemon juice 10 oz flour 1 Tablespoon sugar 1/2 tsp salt 1 tsp baking soda 2 tsp baking powder 3 Tablespoons butter 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 1 egg Mix the lemon juice and milk together first and set it aside. The acid in the lemon juice "sours" the milk, making it more like buttermilk. Then whisk together the dry goods in a mixing bowl. Never measure flour with a cup, or I'll find you and cut you. Get a cheap digital scale; your life will improve 10,000 fold. Melt the butter in a separate bowl. Don't get it ripping hot, just melted, otherwise it will start to scramble the egg. Add the vanilla and egg to the butter and whisk together. Now, nuke the milk/lemon mixture in the micro for a minute, just to warm it up. If it hits the butter cold it will cause the butter to solidify which leads to an icky mess. Add the warm milk/lemon to the butter, egg, and vanilla and whisk it all together. You're griddle is ready right? Don't add liquid to the dry unless your griddle is hot and ready to receive. Dump the liquids into the dry and whisk them together, no more than 10 stirs, count 'em. Whatever lumps are left leave 'em. Over mixing leads to chewy pancakes, we want light and fluffy. Use a measuring cup or laddle to scoop batter onto your griddle and you should be able to handle the rest. Now, for variations to the base. 1 apple, diced, I like to spread the fruit evenly on top of the batter once I've finished my ten stirs. I like this a little better than stirring the fruit into the batter. 1/2 tsp cinammon added in with dry goods additional 1/4 tsp of vanilla is optional One banana, diced, spread evenly on top of batter fist full of walnuts, chopped, spread evenly on top of batter with bananas 1/8 tsp ground cloves added with the dry goods (clove + banana = win) 1 cup blueberries or diced strawberries spread evenly on top of batter 1/4 tsp extra vanilla 1/2 cup pumpkin puree, wrapped in 6 or so paper towels to dry it out some, add this to the butter, vanilla, egg mixture. 3/4 tsp cinnamon 3/4 tsp ginger 1/2 tsp nutmeg 1/4 tsp cloves 1/4 tsp allspice spices added to the dry goods Adjustments: If the batter is a little too thin (I like it pretty damn thick) reduce the milk by 1 once (2 Tablespoons). Have at it.

Well, I for one like the status updates. Things tend to get pushed out of view quick on the shoutbox and it doesn't allow for commenting. The thing I could do without is the recent posts / topics since I just click on View New Content. It's redundant.

The #1 thing that grinds my gears by far is dumb ass drivers. Dickheads that go under the speed limit in the passing lane and refuse to switch over to the slower traffic lane no matter how many people are riding their ass. Another one would be the dip-shits that sit at lights texting long after it has turned green. Then when you give them a little beep to say, hey, it turned green 10 seconds ago, they give you a dirty look. That's the kind of shit that's going to put me in jail someday. I'm going to end up having road rage and beating someone's head into their car door, mark my words. It will happen one day. One more thing... fuck you to all the ass holes that seem like they're in such a hurry they pull out in front of you, then they proceed to drive under the speed limit. There's no one behind me for miles, yet you chose to pull out in front of me. You could have waited an extra 5 seconds for me to go pass, then you've got the entire road to yourself, yet you chose to pull out in front of me at the last second. Fuck you. People who text while driving. Fuck you. People who simply suck at driving. Fuck you. Fuck all of you shitty drivers.

People on the phone while in line at a store or restaurant. GET OFF THE FUCKING PHONE ASS!!!

Euan who the hell gave you the idea to get it digitally, they should die a slow and painful death.

Not needed as you have Shoutbox. Or Moanbox in my case. Or Woe-is-euan-box.

You could take over Chris' team. You couldn't do any worse!!!

I like all of this Dave, I really do; however, I'm a little concerned that we will try to bite off more than we can chew at once. I think we need an outline/game plan for priorities. Which item first? I think we need to take them on one or two things at a time. I don't want to see us spread ourselves too thin. With that being said, I'd love to see this place grow and you've got some great ideas on how to go about it. Why start a new YouTube page? Can we just convert yours (Diddusm Does Gaming) into Forever Gaming? Merchandise would be really cool (and nerdy!). I'd love to have a little something that says Forever Gaming on it.... but, I would of probably got something that said FPSH on it too back in the day... now I'd be stuck with it. We need to be 100% certain that this is it before we start printing shit off. KnowWhatI'msayin'. Anyways... I'll help out anyway I can, you just let me know what you need. I'd like to participate in the blog aspect, but I don't know if I've got what it takes. I'm not a writer, I've never done a blog, and I don't think I could put anything out consistently, but I'd be willing to do something occasionally. I'll reply more later when I'm not feeding two little monsters breakfast.

I have Franklin's Buffalo all did up. Also, whilst playing as Franklin, I had to fix Amanda's car and without realising, spent all my cash doing in up. Bitch didn't even say thank you. Pictures will be posted later........maybe. I'm busy up in me cousins gaff and also playing GTA. I JUST WANT TO PLAY NOW BUT I CAN'T!!!!!!

The vanilla URL is www.forevergaming.co.uk From there, we'd have to have sub-URL, or subdomains, for example www.forum.forevergaming.co.uk or www.forevergaming.co.uk/forum. Of course the vanilla would have a portal with links and stuff so it'd be easy to navigate. These are obviously huge plans and will take a while but it'd be nice to get the ball rolling. Merch will be a good idea to raise funds to fund this, hence why I'd like to do it sooner rather than later. This is going to cost a few pennies too.

Sounds good Dave Having got the cheap laugh out of the way, what is a vanilla URL? I agree with Cal about saving the merchandising until forum numbers are up but maybe have a core set of designs ready to roll as it were. Perhaps have members submit designs and then run a poll? I'm with Cal on the grammar aspect as well!

Bump. More people need to look at this thread and give feedback and suggestions, for it effects the entire forum community as a whole. So do so!

LOLZ Saw this thought of you all

I tell myself every season I want to get into fantasy football. But I always forget. Damn.

Stop going on about the last time, you used your teeth too much, it hurt.

Euan you would complain about a blow job

If peopel are going to be lazy and just post links from now on, I'm deleting those threads. Sort it out, it takes 5 seconds to copy and paste. No excuses.

I'll volunteer for writing some bloggies. I think you should save the shop idea for when the community grows. I know a lot of the lads here would chip in but it would probably go stale and you'd be left with merchandise for an unseen amount of time. 0.02 BF4 server sounds brilliant. Minecraft server sounds brilliant (although the last one kinda died ) I won't comment on DayZ cos I don't have that game innit? I can do that when I get home and give the details to chosen members. Although anyone can do that in the next 5 hours. Well, deliberately or not, you spelled feedback wrong. You see there, you spelled feedbak. Unprofessional and I'm very picky who I associate myself with. I know you have members here willing to help, Address the grammar situation and I'll be one of them. Grand Theft Auto V

I like it dude! Think it's perfect for the look of the site and ANYONE who thinks it's says caminc needs to GTFO!
