OOPS.. what happened?? grades or behavior??

Flipz, according to his profile, is 21 so I'll hazard a guess and say neither. Although why do you even have what I assume to be parental controls on your computer when you're 21 years old? Unless it's not your own computer, in which case, you probably should acquire your own, and is therefore yours, not theirs, and therefore with a computer you own it is your decision to decide what happens to it.

I don't "own" the Steam account (even I've paid for every game I have on it -_- ); it's "technically" my father's (even though he thinks video games and the internet community in general are evil).

I generally have zero say in my own life unless I live it behind his back.

It's not a Wac, the actual name for it is a Hackintosh

Well no, that's just non-Apple-manufactured hardware running OS X, and you'd still use command for things

Then I would say you would probably need to get out of there and start living your own life, however, I do not know your full situation so dismiss anything I say since I usually give bad advice and I am usually quite insensitive, and to be honest this whole post seems insensitive.

Skrief makes sense. There is also the idea of getting your own computer...

CtaM hasn't been this far down the forum page in forever. Was I right to post that much? Or was I in the wrong?

Good job!!

It's time to put on that hood of activity I once had. It's time to do what this site deserves. It cannot die, so it must live.

[MsRowdyRedhead]

68947

Activity is good, death is not immanent.

[Trijhak]

68948

Right now, it may be good. But activity in only a few specific topics is close to imminent death.

[MsRowdyRedhead]

It ebbs and flows..

One can't stick around forever. People have lives, people must move on sometimes, so we must find a way to encourage new users to join, a whole lot of active new users, ready to slowly replace us when we all eventually have to go forever. Because it happens, and it's inevitable, whatever the cause, such as a job, new responsibilities, or anything else.

[MsRowdyRedhead]

68951

Indeed

[Trijhak]

68952

There must always be new members to eventually become the 'next generation' of active members, if you know what I mean.

[MsRowdyRedhead]

68953

Indeed.. we have been discussing that in staff as well.. It has gotten harder to advertize.

MLN has been outdated for a while now, and our acronym kinda screams MLN, despite what it is. Do we make that extreme jump, to change our very name? But that would raise the question, how would we change the URL? What would be our name? Studs on Bricks? Brickreativity? Interlocking Bricks?

Do we dare?

Because we try to be a LEGO Fansite. But we're not a hardcore LEGO fansite. We're more of a casual LEGO fansite.

[MsRowdyRedhead]

69855

My LEGO NETWORKING Org??

[Trijhak]

69856

I wasn't suggesting changing the acronym back to something like that. I was suggesting changing it so that it appeared to be more relevant to LEGO in general and not just MLN at a first glance. Something like BLOCK or STUD (we can't use LEGO or we face copyright infringement I think?).

[MsRowdyRedhead]

68957

I don't think we can change our URL at this point..

400,000 posts. That's what it took, that's what it will take, if I recall correctly. Standards may have changed since then.

[MsRowdyRedhead]

Likely correct.

I need to feed the dogs.. back in a bit. I have to stay with them or Floyd, my son's dog will eat my puppy Charlie's food when he wanders off to look at something shiny.
