22 weeks 3 days ago I'm sorry for your loss,

I'm sorry for your loss, Brian.

On a related note, small world. He played hockey at the cube on Miller Lite? Was it their D3 team? (I don't think they have a team in a different league as it is but still...)

I've probably played against him and not even realized it. From the sounds of it, he was one of the few people that could catch up to me after getting a step on them.

Downside: requires a twitter username to take part

I like it; if it were me in your place I'd try to implement a system for logged-in users of mgoblog to enter a post in a form and the 'bot' can "re"tweet it if it's viable, appending their username.

to everyone else, you really should have some form of noscript running. mgoblog isn't the problem - compromised ads are.

if you can't get noscript on your browser, then just disable javascript. Sure you lose some of your "rich browsing" experience, but that's worth it for the safety.

I think to many fans too, but usually they can't hear me.

I'm just not as telepathic as I had hoped.

1 year 47 weeks ago -

After reading this I did some research of my own; there's a lot of cases that have been ruled this way.

IANAL but this is pretty legit advice.

1 year 48 weeks ago people might not like it, but

people might not like it, but this is pretty spot-on.

1 year 50 weeks ago I understand where you're coming from

and I'd agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.

In this particular case, you cannot destroy game balance in favor of making Shoelace the fastest player on the field.

Don't get me wrong, he probably is in the real world. But games, particularly balanced ones, do not model the real world.

Things like that make the game unplayable or force all players into situations where they have to choose Michigan to be competitive - which again, is how it is in the real world - and that situation is unacceptable as far as game developers are concerned.

 

1 year 50 weeks ago I run ABP on all computers I

I run ABP on all computers I use, and have not had any issues arise. Leads me to believe the underlying problem doesn't lie in mgoblog's code, but in the advertisements - which are brought in from external sites.

edit: Also, anybody running a non-windows OS that claims superiority over others because they think they're immune to viruses, malware, etc is a) ignorant and b) kidding themselves.

1 year 51 weeks ago Wait, you don't know?

Honky is a derogative term for white people.

you really didn't know that or did I miss the sarcasm?

1 year 51 weeks ago My curiosity knows no bounds.

My curiosity knows no bounds. I probably would've clicked through to that thread.

1 year 52 weeks ago This is likely due to Smart

This is likely due to Smart Tweets for Pages randomly breaking. It's a facebook app that picks up tweets from a Twitter account and then posts them. Sometimes it randomly decides to stop working. Send Brian a note and he'll probably go through the necessary uninstall app/reinstall app process to get it working again.

The app breaks frequently enough to be frustrating; I just removed it from my page and I'm looking for something different now.

(Standard note from the above posters also applies: make sure you haven't hidden those posts.)

you do this every year, whether it's the wings or the wolverines. there's a lot of hockey to be played in this game. If you think a 2 goal lead in today's NHL is safe, you don't watch enough hockey.
