  • Nice! In terms of American history, I'm mostly interested in pre-Columbian/colonial periods, but the Civil War is interesting too.

    Are you planning to pursue coding further, or are you just learning HTML to get a basic grasp? Either way, best of luck!

    The colonial period is interesting, though I'm most interested in the part between the French and Indian War and the Revolutionary War when it comes to that era. What I think is unique about the Civil War era is the period that it's in that was kind of like a bridge between the past and the future...the south still had a largely agrarian society while the north was in the process of industrializing, for example. And then there's the military tactics and technology...you had the charges and muskets of the past, but also saw the development of the gatling gun (forerunner of the machine gun), the submarine, the ironclad, repeaters, and at the end outside of Richmond the sort of trench warfare that World War I would be better known for.

    I think programming is something you're always pursuing if you're into it...I've known HTML in general for about ten years now, but HTML5 is a whole other beast, in that it includes a lot of now methods and features to better integrate javascript and do a lot of stuff it was easier to use Flash for in the past. You can even make a MMORPG in HTML5, as the Mozilla Foundation has done. I'm hoping to take what I learn from there and use it in my work and also here, since I develop the region's website. :)

  • So I was looking back through an old forum I  used to be a part of, and I remembered they had a thing called Topless Tuesdays, where people would...post topless pictures of themselves along some theme on Tuesdays.

    Mayhaps that's a tradition that we should revive. :P

    @Wintermoot, it's not a tradition if it never happened here.

    Also, it would not be appropriate because it would only be for the Adult Forum, since we have minors still present here <_<

    From men or women?  If it's women, it's an issue if it's not on the adult forum, because it's still apparently considered porn.

    That aside, we never had said tradition here :P

  • You are actually wildly incorrect here, Gov!
    In West Virginia and about 30 other states there is no difference legally speaking between pictures of chests of either sex and unless the pictures depict them in a sexually lewd or intense manner it wouldn't be a problem!
    But that's true for either body type... So we needn't worry...
    As long as there wasn't like "sexual fluid" or fetish material or the like on any of the pictures it would be totally fine...
    Face the facts of being what you are, for that is what changes what you are.

  • Thank you, I most likely will. :)

    Just out of curiosity, why don't you want to visit Africa? It is incredibly beautiful.
    .

    I just don't like heat, and wildlife, and insects. I have plenty of those where I live already.
    How hot does Singapore get?

  • Some places are colder than others, and some places even get snow in the winter, but no place in Africa can, relative to the rest of the world, be considered "cold."
