Silver Screen / Re: The Lion King Remake
« on: August 11, 2018, 12:45:50 PM »
I will see it in theaters. I like what was done for the Jungle Book (plot of the original was a bit weak) so I can't wait to see how Lion King works out. Its very hard to tell it was a blend of CG and reality three years ago.....must be close to flawless by now, those Disney computer server farms.
already!!!

Announcements / Make sure you get your stuff off of the old forum!
« on: July 15, 2018, 09:14:30 AM »
Just an update to all members:
If you haven't done so already, go and grab those PMs, pictures or whatever you wanted to save from the old forum on zetaboards while you still can. Betas are coming out of the tapatalk forums (Fiver's Honeycomb is already in beta) and if something goes massively wrong with the transfer you may lose important stuff you one day wish you hadn't lost. I have no idea when the GOF will be transferred except that it will be VERY soon if the emails are any indication.
This is probably your last call as I can't guarantee what will / will not happen once that transfer is made and you can't get to zetaboards anymore.

Computer and Electronics / Re: Using Linux
« on: June 10, 2018, 03:10:47 PM »
Of polished Linux distros that are likely to give new users the fewest problems, Ubuntu and Mint are the best two. There are other ones out there that are certainly polished and look nice but require more work to get them to be usable as Windows replacements (or Mac replacements I'm sure there's some out there).

Heh, wow another old dinosaur of a topic. 
Just be really careful about removing any of those linux partitions if you ever want to dump one and get the space back. Whichever one you installed last has the bootloader attached to it unless you go into the terminal and change those settings. If you hate the last one you install, and delete the partition, your computer won't boot!
Right now, the only computer I have that runs linux is my little white Lenovo that I take to work every now and then. I'm running Bodhi Linux on it. Its a lightweight operating system (not as lightweight as Puppy that I mentioned some 11 years ago) but it is far more polished.

The Fridge / Re: So who all decided to make the transfer?
« on: June 06, 2018, 08:52:15 PM »
I would say most who have posted in the last year would make the move. Most that weren't active for over a year probably don't know or don't care to move. They disappeared for some reason.

Wow, someone bumped a dinosaur of a topic! 
Heh, when I founded the site I was 19. I will be 34 in a couple of months. Where did 15 years go?

Sounds like a plan to me Austin. Let's see what a good theme looks like. I have no qualms with the current one, no matter how old it may look to some eyes.

I'm pretty certain the username can be changed on the old account so all of "fyn16" posts reflect the new name.

For everyone that is reading this, a BIG THANK YOU needs to go to James Gryphon of the Redwalll Abbey community for his time and effort to get this working for us in addition to the forum staff here who have worked tirelessly to get this forum moved. Most have no idea how much work Nick, rhombus, and zero-point have put into this over the last week.

Don't remember who I was talking to, but I was sharing that I run an official Ranger Rick archive, and this is one of my favorite pictures. The person said it would be perfect caption fodder, and I agreed.

Computer and Electronics / What operating system are you using
« on: March 04, 2018, 09:56:09 PM »
Well, I use all three:
- my main is an imac with High Sierra on it
- my portable laptop for work/travel has Bodhi Linux
- my old workhouse laptop (7 years old at this point) is a triple boot between Windows 10, Bodhi Linux, and Linux Mint 18

Pretty sure Austin was responsible for that. He did a good work with our transparent images.
Mine is of Petrie when he acted like a king in...the 14th film? I can't remember. Plus I'm king of this forum so it just fit.
