Diddums

It's cool man, you chill out. I've got a bit of time this weekend so I want to have a good poke around and see what's what.

RIP Shoutbox. I'll prune some forums tomorrow as well as Steve made a good point earlier about having too many. Then I need to get it running nice and smooth performance wise, and get cracking on the blog.

I've fixed it Dave, try now Steve that rod is lovely, the cork really looks awesome with that polish finish! Out of curiosity, how many hours went into it?

See? talking already

Done, like system disabled. Now you'll hafta reply

My biggest reason for being so absent is making promises I can't keep. I wanted so much from this place and asked people to chip in but I get too frustrated with coding and the people I paid to help out were useless. I don't want people to feel let down or frustrated that I didn't stick to my word so I tend to keep it on the low down. I've spent countless hours fiddling, tweaking, installing, but not being a programmer myself, there's only so much I can do and then I get too frustrated to carry on. I'm well aware of the issues that have been posted in the forum issues thread but I just don't know how to resolve them, and they annoy me every single day. The tech support for this forum software is non existent and I don't know anyone who can sort it out. Well, I do, but he's got multiple organ dysfunction syndrome and could pass away at any time, so I try to keep my interactions with him pleasant and not bother him with things like this. Bart has been a great help but I can't lean on him for everything, he has his own issues to deal with. Getting new traffic is hard. Seriously hard. Every time I think I'm on to something, it fails or Google changes their search algorithms and I'm at square one again. Running a successful site, by someone who knows nothing about this kind of thing, is impossible. I'm also a bit over gaming at the moment, although I need to get into Destiny properly. A huge factor for this place being so dead was when the PS4 released. Many of us played on the PS3 together and since the PS4 came out, lots of connections were lost, although that seems to be picking up slowly since Destiny is out. I might remove the like system to see how that goes, maybe it'll encourage people to reply, that's a good shout and one I thought of months ago but just left it. If you want, I can disable it for a week or two and see how it goes, report back here with your input please.

Man, you should've shut it hard to see what happened

Dammit Bob, if I seemed offish towards you it's because I didn't click that you were THIS bob. I am a bit slow at the best of times. T'was nice meeting you and Charlie, he's a great kid. Great seeing Dave and the rest too. Dave suggested later that we get together sooner than next year and under different circumstances which I think is a great idea. Pity the Lee Evans gig is sold out, but if anyone's got any suggestions, I'm all ears. Eurogamer was ok. Last year felt better but that could be because it wasn't the first time, there weren't many triple A titles coming out and because I was considerably less drunk. It was probably just me as Kyla enjoyed it. My Razer Deathadder is lovely but I don't think it can top my M60. I'm sticking with it though, probably just need a bit of getting used to. Tommy > start saving dude, you're coming next year! That goes for all our Murican friends, get your arses down to London!

Mkay, Rich and I are meeting in the AM somewhere near Earl's Court. Quick brekkie and go in. Spoke to him earlier and he's sick as a dog but like Stretch, wasn't going to sit with my whining if he didn't make it. Phil and his GF are meeting us at 1ish, at which point we'll go for a pint and then go in as his ticket starts from 2pm. Stretch is meeting us at 16:30-17:00. A year wasn't enough notice so he didn't get a ticket, but is coming for a drink afterwards and then staying at mine. I've also just bought a bottle of Jaegermeister and some Red Bull together with a case of beer, a case of cider and lots of snacks n shit in case we end up at here. Dave - what time are you intending on being there, and can you PM me your number please? Cheerio!

Sounds to me like the motherboard's popped. Connect the exact same cable to your laptop and see if that works, if it does, it's the mobo. If it's borked, a cheapo adapter like this will work fine.

That's cool Bob, we can look after him for a bit if you want to go in Looking forward to meeting you guys!

Sucks Cal I'm even buying a new car to pick you lot up at Brixton after last year's break down. Can we get an attendance check please? So far I've got Stretch, Phil and probably his missus, Rich and probably not his missus, myself, Dave (Plumber), and maybe a couple of folks from another forum.

Can't wait! My attendance here has been fairly sparse lately but I'm really looking forward to a good bash with you lot again.

Do a clean install. Once these bugs and glitches start taking hold it becomes a mess which you simply transfer to your ssd.

that's odd. Might be worth doing a clean install then. Exactly the same error?

CZ- Slovakia DK - Denmark DE- Deutschland (Germany) GR- Greece US - United States ES - Espaniol (spain) etc etc. Leave it alone.

Ok, that Boot stuff is obviously languages / regions. How big is it? Put it this way, what exactly is on your SSD? Oh and confirmed that the Data drive is stuff for the SSD itself, leave it alone.

I *think* that's part of your SSD which is reserved for the software on the SSD itself. It's only small, leave it. If it is that and you delete it, you could brick the drive.

Huh? Did you clone the drive into a folder called boot?

Samsung's software is great. First off, uninstall all the stuff you want to keep on your HDD, like your games library and anything that you don't need on your SSD. Run CCleaner and Malwarebytes, then defrag your drive. Then use Samsung's magic tool (wizard something iirc) to copy it all over, and once that's done change your Steam settings to install to your normal HDD. Games you play often however you can put on your SSD but don't go nuts. You know how it works. If you set a second folder, you can pick where you want the games to install from a drop down menu each time you install a game. Follow the instructions. That's what I did and it worked a treat. Samsung really put a lot of thought into their software / manual and it makes life much easier. Any questions, fire away

Folks I have put the site on the backburner for a bit as I've been given a sniff of a promotion so work is currently my priority, and to be quite honest if I carried on trying to work on the site I'd be put in an insane asylum. As fun as coding is, it just drives me up the wall. I need to go on a proper course for it which I just don't have time for at the moment.

Best Buy has the 120gb EVO for $79.99. Newegg is a tenner more, plus iirc you have a Best Buy local to you.

Phil hit the nail on the head, however, Crucial recently released a range called the MX100 which have basically spanked all the Samsungs. You can get a 128gb model for $74.99 exactly. Great drives and until you spend quadruple the price, they are king of the benchmarks as well. Thing is, they're still new and are using new chips. The Samsungs have been king of the hill for a good two years now, so they're known to be bulletproof. These might be amazing, they might not. At the end of the day you might be getting something as reliable and better than the sammys, but you might also end up with a trailblazer that's burned out after a year. If I was in your shoes, Samsung. Odds are you won't notice the difference without benching software anyway. Best buy you'll ever have. Welcome to the SSD club
