Don't know but they can certainly scale down the resolution on the downloadable to increase frame rate.

Ahh, neat! I shall have to try that out and see.

*EDIT: Ooooo massive +1 for the Linux version!

use the downloadable oldcp from oldcp.biz/download

Does it really perform that much better? Would be interested to know. I currently use Edge which uses it's own built-in Flash. Works way better than Firefox.

Quick userstyle workaround if anyone needs it:
Slightly ugly in that the elements will likely be under the navbar, but it works. I spent some time trying to hack together a userscript to make a button reveal a dropdown for the controls on smaller sizes, but it didn't go well. xD

Damn ass hell gay. No point in banning simp.

I don't really care either way. I just wanted to point out how silly of an argument that was.

Though, if a word's only useful purpose is to be derogatory towards people, what is the difference? The end result is the same.

If someone attacks people over it, you punish the people who are doing it, not the entire word.

By that logic, then there's nothing wrong with certain other words, say, one beginning with 'n'. Seriously, *that's* your argument?

[...] even the authority of the Staff team is weak now. I Moderate OldCP and I speak to many mods and we all agree on this: we often feel afraid to punish rule breakers due to this, and as you know by Dancebear's post, trash-talking the Staff team, mainly Moderators, has become a very popular subject.

Backseat moderating is a pass time for many people. Moderators have to enforce the rules and hand out the consequences, and they need the support of the administration to have their backs if and when that comes into question.

If the rules aren't enforced, look at what message that sends: "The rules don't matter and I can do whatever I want." And then they do. And then we're here.

There appears to be rampant disrespect here of not only the staff but regular members. If you want to have any kind of community, that cannot be tolerated. It will (and has) rot the entire game and forums to the core. People can have differing opinions and have discussions, but when things devolve to this level and people begin harassing and insulting each other and doing personal attacks, that is a problem.

I will definitely be working on a way to punish bullying more severely. If people do not take action they will face demotion. Thank you for the feedback Alea!

Some examples and president certainly need to be set, else this kind of thing is just going to continue to happen.

Reading the OP, it seems like the clown bit is only one aspect of what @Sled is talking about. It also seems like maybe, just maybe, the administration has more knowledge than everyone else about the things that have been going on. I mean, you literally just said you have no idea what else they may have done, anyways. So perhaps keeping an open mind is a good idea.

A lot could be improved

I hear that. Looking at my old stuff usually makes me want to cry xD

Also, is it just me, or does this site take ages to go to another page for everyone? What is it doing??!?

When the browser width is less than 1489px, the forum navbar elements on the right side (Profile button, notifications, messages, and Log Out button) disappear. Looking at the browser dev tools, the #navigation element has overflow set to hidden. Perhaps a better solution could be found.

This is an issue for anyone who uses a smaller second monitor or only wants the browser on a part of the main screen.

it’s not the fire it’s the fact that an 8 person joust happened last night

More people were in other rooms and things performed fine. Something about that room in particular is just very laggy.

Is there any chance we could get nested quotes that aren't terrible? When you quote a post, and that post has a quote, the quote in the post you're quoting just gets jumbled into a single quote; you have to go fix it manually to get it to work properly.

Essentially, posts that quote another post with a quote in it are unreadable.

Why spam me tho? Are you guys actually brain dead or what?

How is it spam if you only make posts that people dislike? TDEMS.

MintWolf wrote on 26th May 2019, 01:49 PM:

so im assuming, using your logic, you only trust left wing media?

I don't trust much of any media, certainly not on controversial topics. Both sides have the same problem. I'm far more interested in actual studies that can document how they reached their conclusions.
