The race for best 82 game was close, huh?

I have a great Idea....Instead of doing all this useless fighting maybe everyone can put there heads together and produce some quality programs like those for the hp series of calculators. If you look at any of the hp programs they totally kill any of the ti progs. Most of the hp progs are full asm and totally fast. I think we need to focus on something more important than who posted what message and realize that only the quality of this web site and programming in general will suffer from continued stupidity.

ACZ, do we really want comments after each news item on our site?

QED

Actually, news comment boards are a great way for reasonable people to share their thoughts/ideas with other people. I just think that there should be a dedicated news comment reader or something like that who reads every comment and deletes the ones that are OT msgs or flames.

With all of the 'members' of ticalc.org, you think that one of them could do this.

Well, scanning the news articles for off-topic comments to delete used to be my responsibility. However, now that Kirk is responsible for almost half the entire site, he doesn't seem to have time to do it.

Right on cue, as usual.

Actually, everybody on staff whose name you've seen under an article is able to delete comments. Sometimes people don't have the same ideas on what's inappropriate, so things only get removed on the second or third pass. Some things are inappropriate, but shouldn't be removed or people will consider it censorship (such as the Bryan debate every time it pops up). But in general the worst offenders disappear pretty quickly.

Don't be asking ACZ, ask ticalc.org :) These comments sections are, in my opinion, the best and most unique part of ticalc.org. I would love to have something like this on Dimension-TI, but if I were going to, I would ask ticalc.org's permission first, since it was their idea. Very few sites on the internet have features like this.

I can see your point, but on the other hand, ticalc.org wasn't the first internet site to feature comments for news a rticles. It was first suggested and modeled (at least to some degree) after slashdot.org.

True, but they still had it first of the TI sites. Almost all of the features on any of these TI sites have appeared in a similar form somewhere else on the web, and I sure wouldn't want another site taking one of our ideas, so I wouldn't go and take ticalc's.

Wow is this comment posted? So this is the internet that everyone is talking about. whew!

Look, I've been reading these message boards under several different aliases and I have to say, I'm staying out of this incident w/ Bryan Rabeler. I will say that I am not happy that Super Mario Quest for the 89 didn't make it to POTM. IMO it is the absolute best 89 game out there... (although it tends to lock up my calc everytime I load it, sooner or later) Why in the h- e- double- hockey- sticks does everybody have to worry about every frickin message that Rabeler posts on these boards? Quit with the F$%^in BS and STAY ON TOPIC! I learned my lesson when I started flaming the Pentium /// on the TI94 message board. So I'm no longer gonna be off topic unless I feel threatened by a flame.

Beware the Y2K Problem, ye Windows users...

Shut up. Please. All of you.


By the way, don't whine if your favorite prog isn't on the list. There's a reason it's called program of the MONTH, which would be that it was created, you know... this month?

When will Pokemon be released?
When will a new version of Street fighter Two be released?
When will my game be released?

Hey this may be dumb but wouldn't it be better if the newest comments were on top of the list and not the bottom? Maybe not. Well this site is groovy, I can't wait to get a bigger hard drive for my ti-86.5

I think that Race v1.5 is a good game for the ti- basic category. It is a ti-83 game

Hey! What's up here?! I only get to log on during weekends. Here I am, looking for replies to a post I made, and it's nowhere in sight! I'm bumbed.

Sigh,

i tink ti89 is da best vertical platform calculator and all others suck reely bad .. so trade in all those kwappy calcs and get an 89 :oP

It would be nice if you included a link to the files that you list in the POTM section.
