SEO is Search Engine Optimization Really basic explanation At the top of every page you can set a series of key words, or tags, that describe the page When search engines spider across your page, they are actively look at all the words that make up the page and then sorting out how to insert them into the search results. With those words clearly defined in the top portion of the code, the spider can see them, grab them, and then stop searching everything else. Without those words the spiders will typically STOP searching really quickly and move on. Ever notice how the bottom members listing on the site will show things like "Google", "Bing", "Yahoo", or sometimes "Bot" Those are the spiders crawling across the page. I am trying to make their life easier, so that we rate higher in Search Results, and then can therefore get more members, and keep the community growing

I must have missed the recent post in question because I have no idea what you guys are talking about. Me personally, I have no ill feelings towards anyone, not even towards Adam lol. Seriously though, IMO it does not matter who agrees with whom, or what someone's feelings about religion or politics may be, there's nothing wrong with disagreeing. Disagreeing and disrespecting are two different things though so we all need to keep that in mind because it's easy to be venomous online because you don't have to look that person in the eye. So replies online are easy to have the respect/emotion aspect removed from and that makes it easy to say things you would not say in person face to face. All boils down to the most basic rule our Mom taught all of us as a little kid. Treat others as you would want them to treat you. Do that and all the drama will fade right away.

Starting early this week Expect it to go on through the whole week SEO is a PITA I have to do it for every sub forum This is a good thing though, it will help us rank higher on search results

If you're an asshole, I will ignore you. Just like "in real life", if you are an asshole, I will not voluntarily interact with you because life is too short to waste time on assholes. This solves 99.9% of Internet related drama. The other .1% can be solved by remembering the following little saying that's gotten me through many tough times: and don't become this guy:

I didn't read the shout box. I personally will talk to person 1, 2, and 3. If any of them have a problem with that, fuck them. That's childish high school crap. Yeah.

The Blaze LOLZ only half as cracked as Info Wars

mmmmmthis. nah pretty sure this has nothing to do with you, no worries. i'll be honest, i didn't see the issue here as much as everyone else, because as far as i know all the young trolls of religion who don't know how to be respectful haven't been 'round these parts for a long time. so . . . sure, sad that he had to start with a disclaimer, but ultimately i didn't think it was super necessary. not recently anyway. and if someone did try to start shit i hope Steve knows we'd have his back and acclimate the noob to the rules, right quick. this is really what i wanted to touch on briefly. when it comes to the typical subject matter and the typical people who discuss it (because no one will understand if i speak in code), perceived "sides" are established based on how those exchanges usually go. and it was once suggested that although people may not publicly support one particularly prolific poster, they actively agree with him privately. that's fine. that's also bullshit. if you feel like you can't agree publicly, it's because you fail at defending your arguments as much as whoever it is you blindly agree with . . . NOT because of any other user here. i guess i'm just saying don't kid yourself (not "you" Kent, but in general) by claiming you don't pipe up because we play too rough. bullshit. k that's it. i love everybody (who can defend their own arguments). be safe out there.

The facts: I removed posts most of you didn't see, as they happened WHILE I was reading the thread in question. I flat out deleted them, and then made a post saying I removed them. Do NOT assume those posts were one sided. All parties involved were lashing out at each other Almost all parties involved were private messaged by me, stating reasons why. One party in particular was not messaged, by me, as the Thread was locked and moved to the Pit. I assumed the person that did that messaged the user. If the posts had stayed in the nature of what started it all, I wouldn't have removed a single one of them They did NOT. They grew ugly quickly, and for no reason.

People are still talking about me? Well sh*t. I've been trying to not talk about my real-life at all, I've tried to forget completely about all what happened, what more do they want? :/ I would've liked an apology from more than that one person (and that apology really meant alot)....but I'd rather not rack the muck. Bring up old feelings. Force apologies if they don't really feel they need to give one. know what I mean? But on the subject of disagreements, this is a forum, it's kind of meant for active discussions, but it's unfortunate that people (including me) take things to heart and get upset. There's also a matter of people being d*cks about disagreeing with something, but there's very little anyone can do about that, it's up to the same person to reel in the tone. Edit: beginning of my post isn't directed at the "person 1 person 2" thing, I was referring to just the very beginning of of his post there, where he said it was still a "thing" to talk about me.

Thanks a lot, Bart. You're awesome man. We appreciate your help.

If you like it up the dirt box then PITA would be sexy, I get the feeling it's not really your bag though. PITA = Pain in the ass (or arse for us Brits)

Here I will explain what I meant by my message in the shoutbox. This has been going on for a while: First, Dattebayo was the one who got was treated like crap because he felt depressed, wanted some sympathy and then left because he felt bullied. I think one person apologized to him about that. It still seems to be a "thing", though. After this, Steve expressed his beliefs in a thread, which he felt the need to instantly defend before there even were any replies... I don't think that's OK at all. I don't know what he expected or from who but it wasn't something good. In another thread, there was a lot of hostility against Jsin because he didn't agree on a subject. Now again, when Lee started one of his threads, which are controversial for a lot of people. Jsin lashed out at him because he didn't agree with it. These are just a few... Why can't we agree to disagree? If we don't like something, it's really easy to not spend time reading it and avoid adding negative or condescending replies that won't provide anything meaningful to the discussion. It seems like there are A LOT of tensions that have never been dealt with. I find this difficult to deal with for these simple reasons: Example 1. I'm not sure I can mention anything about person 2 or 3 to person 1, because if person 1 still has beef with those people, might make things awkward and I feel it will affect that friendship. 2. If I agree with or talk to person 2 about something, person 1 or 3 or might have the same reaction and things will get weird. 3. Etc. etc. 3. This is all difficult because person 1, 2 and 3 are all what I consider good friends (even though I never met you). I just don't know, this makes me very uncomfortable. I often feel that I must choose sides... Do I want to do that? No... Absolutely not. But what else is there to do? Should I leave and hope to find another place that is just like this? I don't think it's going to happen. The most similar place I've found to this community is Reddit but that place is largely anonymous with it's huge user base and it's difficult to really get to know anyone there. I honestly don't know why it's so difficult to apologize to each other and move on with our problems. It's really childish, to be honest. Especially when they the people on the receiving end are younger than you. We have long talked about being a "one-of-a-kind" community, where everyone is friendly and prepared to help each other out when someone needs it. We want to grow by having new members joining us, but that's not going to happen if we can't even solve our internal issues between veteran members on these forums. If we respond with hostility to topics we don't like or agree with, the result will be more anger and grief towards each other. If we then refuse to acknowledge about what's going on, it will only worsen it and lead to people distrusting each other and this community even more. Which in turn will lead to more members leaving and it will eventually wither and die. That's the truth. The general mood for me is that this place has been turning into what we all wanted to leave not too long ago.

Oh no I'm not going anywhere. I was talking about this thread.

I thought all this shit was over with! The way I see it we are one big family, do we disagree and have arguments? Sure but what family doesn't? I had a disagreement with Scipio (Sorry if the spellings off) but it was like 2 lines back and forth then ended. Get over it like we did. I just had an argument with Glen11 over nothing and guess what, even though he's a massive helmet like everyone else on this forum, you guys are still my brothers (And Sam) and I enjoy reading all of your posts. Can't we just all brush it under the carpet and get on with our lives?

Never had a connection problem as bad as Black Ops, Black Ops 2, MW3, or Ghosts. CoD 4 & MW2 had the perfect connection for me. That's why it beats the rest. /topic

So everyone agrees that that Glen Beck piece was idiotic? Cause if we all agree, there's no sense in taking it any further.

But...ghost pirates, man. Pirates. That are GHOSTS. too bad it's CoD

Apparently 5 Wongs do make a Wright

Don't make me put this signature back on. Don't.

Been wanting a nail head style reading chair for the office section of the man cave for quite a while now but the $400-$500 price tags are just way too much for me. Well it pats to stop at yard sales. I was out this morning at a local block sale and had to do a double take when I saw this perfect shape nail head all leather chair for only $60. I offered the lady $50 and she said no problem. It was only used as decor in a music room in her home and never even really sat in much. Couldn't be anymore perfect for the office/shop/man cave if it tried!

Sir, you are awesome. I have replied to your email but just to reiterate it here, you have full control. Do whatever you need to do broski, I trust you 100% as I'm sure many others do.

I hesitated to click on this, afraid it was going to be a post about a new toilet.

MW2 was a fantastic game for me because it was immense fun. It had a catalogue of issues no doubt but it provided a springboard for the franchise and future lessons for the developers. Since then up until Ghosts; the games were becoming more balanced and irritating features were being eradicated. However; Ghosts seemed to put the franchise back to the old days with lots of negative gameplay issues. There is a few things I can overlook but the fact that it wasn't fun in the slightest gave me no inspiration to play. I really thought the new IW had learned lessons of the past; for instance not rewarding objective players and they did make progress in some areas with MW3 but with Ghosts; they just delivered a total mess of overpowered crap, terribly designed maps and mind-numbing gameplay on top. Killstreaks were also dull as fuck and there were no memorable portions of the game. The DLC is also the worst I've ever seen in a videogame. MW2 was early days in the growing franchise and at the time; we didn't really take on board how significant the likes of noob tubing, commando and danger close would have on future games. We just rolled with the punches and accepted the game as it was. The positives made this game very iconic indeed. I totally get the frustrations behind it but gamers expect more these days and for me COD Ghosts was a shambolic attempt in all areas from what is the most lucrative franchise in gaming today.

PITA is like flat bread and delicious when filled with kebab meat. PITA for Rich is when he's being filled by Stretch's meat.

Mmm Pizza!

Today, I'm going to share one of my favorite games of all time with you guys. It's called OFF. It's a free-to-play adventure RPG that was originally made in French. You control a character known only as "The Batter," who is on an important mission to purify the land he lives in. You know nothing about him or the land, and as you go through the game, getting help from a cat called "The Judge" and a man named Zacharie, finding out more about your surroundings and The Batter only works to skew your perception. It's definitely the most surreal game I've played, and even though it was insanely difficult for me (I'm terrible at puzzles - and this game has a lot of puzzles), I really love it. It's got an awesome story, awesome characters, and awesome music. Download link and instructions here.

Don't let the unimportant things bug ya dude, no need to go anywhere over simple stuff like whatever happened here. Hope the other problems you're dealing with straighten out for ya too.

Me and some mates from work all had a session on MW2 for an hour or so last night, like the old days, we got massacred by cheats...like the old days...cracking maps though

MW2 was my FPS on a console system, and truth be told I had given up on most FPS games at that point for a number of years. So, regardless of how bad it is, it will reside in a special spot for me. Hell, I was playing the campaign again a few days ago

Watchdogs teaches you bad video gamers to hack.

Indeed. Everyone bashes ghosts but glorifies MW2. I dont understand their logic.

Nah, that's not what I meant. To me it seems that one of those who treated you that way still likes to take every opportunity available to show that they don't like you, many times in very subtle ways. It's a very common type of bullying that I've experienced myself. That's what I meant with it still being a thing... Being "anti Datte".

Get your sekcbaby shorts on

its srs bsnsBeats green font, though. xD

Here’s where I’m coming from, full disclosure. Everyone will know where they stand with me, all my cards are on the table: If I don’t like you, I ignore you, you are dead to me. If I don’t like you, it’s not because I disagree with you on something or even everything, it’s because I think you’re a crappy person. There are two people here I feel this way about: Both Barrels and TigerBurge. I cannot forgive them for what they did to Dattebayo. I don’t care how justified they thought they were, they deeply hurt someone I care about. Then there’s the issue with Spectre. I don’t know whether or not Lee is a crappy person. If it was as simple as me not agreeing with him on things, I would simply agree to disagree and move on. The problem I have with him is that he uses this board as pulpit to get his ‘message’ out and more importantly I think his message is harmful. Anyone who takes the time to drill into what Lee posts will find: nuggets of truth wrapped in misinformation and wild conjecture. I feel compelled to address this not because I like debating with him but to poke holes in his credibility so that others won’t blindly believe everything he says. Sometimes I get snippy and obnoxious about it, I apologize for that, I have my flaws. That’s it. Everyone else I love. I badly miss gaming with Kyle and Uber; I’m pretty sure under the right circumstances I’d suck Doc’s dick; and if I were a chick I’d happily increase the population of leper’s colony. //Datte, no one is talking about you, I’m the only one who brought your name up. I think that is why Palle said it’s still a ‘thing’, because obviously I haven’t let it go. ///Wherever you are, there will be people who just can’t get along, this is life. ////There is still no other forum where everyone pretty much knows each other by real name. /////The issue is not nearly as big as this discussion would make it seem. In the grand scheme of things, it’s less than trivial. //////We can’t all agree on a game to talk about, so we talk politics, which tends to get peoples’ panties in a twist (mine included). Solution: Everyone buys Destiny for the PS4 and that’s what we talk about going forward.

There are worse places in the world than a few squabbles on here. IGN message boards One Direction fansite Miley Cyrus's twitter page Rihanna's instagram profile Nicky Minaj's fat fucking arse There will always be a bit of debate especially with anything regarding current affairs but everything has a habit of mending itself and people learn to forgive and forget. Let's all just get along and enjoy this

Hence the rose tinted glasses comment, nostalgia will always win over the new. It may have had it's faults but I cut my MP teeth on MW2 so have fond memories of failing badly blaming my own ineptitude rather than the devs for my failings.

Lol, I just love seeing how MW2 was a great game from the same people who bash Ghosts. MW2 was just as broken as ghosts. For the same reasons. Snipers, Knifing (commando) and Danger close noob toobs. Am I the only one who truly didnt like MW2 just the same as Ghosts?

Well this thread couldn't have got more derailed if we tried!!

Well that's PITA cleared up but what is SEO?

I walked straight into that one dammit cheers!

Yep, it's ridiculous. We have a league full of wonderful talented footballers and half of them spend their time warming benches. It's nuts when you think about it. Except in financial terms and that's the problem. Profit trumps everything in this world of ours. I'm sure the money men are missing a trick not having Gareth Bale at the World Cup, maybe they'll introduce a 'soccer wildcard' that allows players to play for other countries...

There was supposed to be a special relationship of commercial bullshit, the farming thing would be quite ridiculous for a premier league club of our standing, but they came for Luka and for Bale and while they had to work for both of them, they got them. Madrid did that to Barcelona back in the day with De Stefano. You guys also have Manchester cherry picking your best players, it's crappy and lessens the game for me. Testimonials these days (10 years at a club) are a rarity and that's a shame.

I don't know who SEO and PITA are but they sound damn sexy

I'm about 10 hours in. Really enjoying it so far. Best game I've played in ages.

Sorry did i say amazing? I meant shit!

Welcome...erm...back? I heard they're introducing Favela to Ghosts now but I fell out of love with CoD

I've taken a punt on this game as it's on steam for a tenner. It's still buggy and doesn't save your game yet so I'm in no hurry. Not had a chance to play (addicted to Wolfenstein: The new order) 'cos I'm busy obliterating Nazis from the face of the earth. No pasaran

Ghost Pirates. No one can defend this bullshit. Please no one defend this bullshit.

According to Charlieintel; the map ISN'T a remake of Favela. I don't mind the franchise bringing back old maps if they are good maps and if they are re-imagined in a good state like Firing Range and Summit but the maps in Ghosts from IW including the remake of Scrapyard just lacked character and had a horrible colour palate. It's not like it's the old maps designed by the current IW either - it's like they're scrapping for leftovers of the past when their side of the COD franchise was good. It's all a bit desperate for me. If they designed maps on par with Bayview in each pack; they might be able to make up for the core maps in design and presentation.
