nice...
thats a great team and this move from calc.org to ticalc.org is signal that Void Productions is alive and come to the live side :)
we are waiting for your productions ...


yeee USA 3 - 2 Portugal :((((
(yes I'm Portuguese :)

I'm U.S. :) Nice to see something new! As in hosted site and news article.

it is nice to see something new but ticalc.org needs to fix their system way to many comments lately and it makes it hard to read cuz there are so many

------------
Ticalc.org used to be a great place for discussion but the high volume of comments lately has hindered the ability of users to read them. Ticalc.org should start using slashcode.com or phpnuke.org for its news code base to eliminate this issue. Help ticalc.org know how you feel and add this to the bottom of your comments.
------------

That's ok, I don't mind (maybe cause I help make them...) but anyways, your comment is completely unrelated to the original topic!
So is mine...
wait!
yeah for void!

Ya and I dont know about him... (mabye hes one of those who lives for his computer....) but I doubt that ticalc.org is the top priority for the staff right now. It is a hobby for them, not a religion. It doesnt have to be perfect, and I see nowhere on the site where the ultimate goal (to provide a collective archive of calculator progs and news) is not achieved. Give um a break, if you care that much, why dont you join the staff and do something about it instead of complaining all the time. Put this at the bottom of your posts and maybe that kid will get it through his head....

Alright, I'm going to step out of the woodwork (during exams, no less) and cry foul on this one. No offense to the guy who wrote the .sig, because you probably had no say in the initial matter (and I doubt I'd care, even if you did), but I have a few points to bring up.

Point the first.

The quality of ticalc.org's boards are, quite simply, a function of two things: the ability for the moderators to keep up deleting off-topic and unconstructive posts, and the ability of ticalc.org's user based to engage in some kind of mature, rational discussion over whatever's being brought up. Infrequent checkings of the boards show a total, flagrant, and unapologetic disregard for the latter point.

That said, I have no idea how much the moderators are working to moderate. I do know this, though: remember when I was news editor here? I do. I remember when I deleted upwards of fifty posts a week: sometimes more than a hundred. Sad but true, but this led to some pretty decent conversations sometimes: ones that I actually took pleasure in participating in. And why?

Because people would relentlessly, callously troll. Because people would write "First Post!" Because people would engage in swearing matches. Because people would write ASCII art. None of this has stopped, but unfortunately it has continued on unchecked.

Because what the TI community was once - a group that fostered its own, a group that put out some really fantastic assembly programs, a group that gave more of a damn about writing and creating than it did about street cred - is now irrevocably and unquestionably dead.

And you have nobody to blame for it but yourselves.

There is no second point, because I have to finish a lab report and I can't come up with anything else clever right now.

Amen Nick. By this post there are 273 comments and less than 10 are even remotely related on-topic. No amount of tweaking the comment system is going to fix that. I don't know why I even bother skimming the comments anymore. It's painfully obvious that I have to go somewhere else if I want to read some intelligent conversation. I'm actually glad that Void's messageboard is down right now, because I'd hate for it to be filled up by crap leaked off this board. Sad, but true.

No, there is a way to fix it (at least partially). See the link for an explanation of how it works at a certain other popular site.

Why does your dude hae 3 mouths?

...so that he can be more productive...

Ahhh.
Ahhh.
Ahhh.

Hello you gimp, goodbye you monkey

You're a new user, eh?

IF YER GONNA ADD A .SIG TO YOUR POST, try SPELLING it right!!! GAAHHH!!!

Yeah, I'm happy too. Now they can be hosted at a better site! :) :) :)

calc.org used to be a really good site but lately it has been dying. its too bad the ticalc people dont update their site much anymore except files and news, the comment system is outdated and it needs a forum. oh well, at least its the best we currently have.

How about not adding that message to end of posts? After all, I highly doubt that the ticalc.org staff moderates these boards (hell, they're really behind on archive updates) and the message just adds a few hundred bytes to the data that has to be downloaded. Besides, unless you have a 28.8K modem, it shouldn't take too long to load the board. And the boards aren't that hard to read either.

I have a 28.8K modem . . .

How long's it take?

Let's see, with 379 comments and all of them on one page, it took 13 minutes and 47 seconds to load. Almost enough time to eat lunch!

... So go in your preferences and set it up so there's 25 or 50 per page. Sheesh.

That's what I usually do. But I set it to all on one so it would be easier to compare. Maybe easier to compare with than my 30 second to one minute for 50 to your 2 seconds or so.

You could have problems getting ROMs:
they are (c) by TI and therefore illegal to download. Still, I was looking for ROMs for an Acorn Archimedes and found a page on the site that looked like this:

Note: ROM dumps are copyrighted by Acorn computers.
We will not, in any case, distribute ROM images.
-Click here to download ROMs ic24-ic27

Um...

LOL That's weird!

I mean lolz

the site i posted above has acorn images

There is no site posted above...
(I presume you mean the 'web page' link).

"try this site
http://www. lofi- gaming.org .uk /emulation /essentialfiles .shtml
has all kindsa roms
even mac ones for mac emus!
(without spaces) "
that one

You signed up 102 people before I did :)
lolz!

Heck, you're being off-topic as well. HYPOCRITE! :)

This is off topic, but what happened to total downloads

listed on author profile? Now, I only see busiest

author and most downloaded author this week.

I know, right?

Hey, ticalc.org staff, where did total downloads for authors go?

w00t!

Sorry, that was a typo by me when updating a file. Query to the db was broken. Fixed and regenerated now.

Yippee! It's back!

Let's here it for TICalc.org
>>Better than /.
>>Better than Calc.org (Even Void Productions agree)
>>Yeehaa!

w00t!
...Sorry, lost it there for a second ;)

That's ok. It happens to the best of us (that's why it hasn't happened to me :(

">>Better than /."

I must disagree with you on that point.

I've never even been to /.!

Me either...
let's see...
www./..com...
That's odd, it gave me an error!

w w w dot slash dot dot com

that would be on topic if ticalc put up a forum area which they shoudl definately do

Forums are even harder to read. All those threads ... at least this way each board has only a few hundred posts as opposed to a thousand ...

"Forums are even harder to read. All those threads ... at least this way each board has only a few hundred posts as opposed to a thousand ..."

I'm assuming you mean /.'s forums are harder to read than ticalc.org's, but I must disagree. There may be upwards of a thousand comments on some of /.'s articles, but you can choose only to view the very best, the good, the average, or all of the comments. This can cut down 1000 posts to roughly 100 (i.e., if you choose to view only the very best comments).

Also, ticalc.org gets nowhere near the traffic of /.--ticalc.org serves 195 thousand requests per day (see About, Web Server Statistics), and /. serves upwards of 1 million requests daily (FAQ, About /.).

I didn't mention Slashdot (yes, unlike SOME lazy people out there, I actually spell out names/words) did I? And, unless you failed geometry or haven't taken it yet, you should have learned by now that you shouldn't assume anything except for relative position. Now with that off my mind ...
Why are you guys so obsessed with Slashdot? What is it, the benchmark to measure all other web sites by? And I wasn't referring to Slashdot's forums ... I was referring to forums in general.

It's not TI-Calc's board, but there is a message board, TI-Programmers:
http://www.ti-programmers.com

Well if it was ticalc's message board then it would be called ticalc's message board.

Yes, i know that, I'm just telling people that there is a TI message board out there (For the people who didn't know, I know probably a lot of you do)

You know this subject is completely off topic u should all be arrestexd

OK so VOID has returned... but how about Detached Solutions?! I go to www.detacheds.com and there is nothing! I will die! Tell me what is going on please!! *_*

Yes, I noticed that too...
Oh no.. it seems to be up again...
but since when was detacheds a strange search-like site? And why are 'Viagra' and 'Packaging' in the list of 'Top searches'?

I think that the search engine is by Detached Solutions. There are many other sites like that, just search engines, very similar. I think that's just what companies do with a domain name until they can sell it..? Perhaps Detached Solutions' thing expired...?

Yes, I think that that is the thing...
I read that they were updating/changing/moving or something with their old site and during the downtime someone *borrowed* the domain name.
They are now having problems as their next address (I don't think it is definate), www.detachedsolutions.com, will not fit on a TI-83 Plus screen...

What do you mean live side? Do you mean calc.org is dead? It is not, they just chose not to come back to calc.org incase it goes down again. It shouldn't do that again though.
