SA has a lot more potential than that for stupid stuff you can't get anywhere else. * Force hats on others * Mess with posts backgrounds (but don't fall into the forum cancer issue) * Change (or add) an image to another posters "thank you for posting, we hope it didn't suck" page * Temporarily replace one smiley with another in a thread. Edit: pay to write probe reasons (cannot pay to probe, just change the reason - some exclusions where common sense says so) Rooted Vegetable fucked around with this message at 02:38 on Jan 29, 2021 |

Remember a few years ago when people knowingly donated money to Cards Against Humanity to pay for the digging of a huge, pointless hole in the ground, for no reason whatsoever? Just something to keep in mind in case there's too much money left over after all of us donate. Also: appreciate the transparency, the forums seem to be in good hands, I'd happily kick in a few bucks a month (hole or no hole), etc.

Just wanted to say thanks for all you're doing. Been here 16 years almost and this is the best, likely only, place that replicates the cozy neighborhood feel of an old single line BBS run out of someone's bedroom. Thanks for what you and the team do and I'll be happy to throw a few bucks, especially if there's a monthly option or patreon (no tier rewards please ![]() $10 a month or whatever is the least I can do... Thanks and here's to the next 20+! Slippery fucked around with this message at 03:33 on Jan 29, 2021 |

Bilirubin posted:oh yeah, seeing all these fine posters reminds me that making it possible to buy a custom plat icon would be a splendid feature and means for raising more funds. Someone, EPG maybe? absolutely had a 1969 regdate once upon a time.

Slippery posted:Someone, EPG maybe? absolutely had a 1969 regdate once upon a time. since the reg date is from a unix time timestamp, i think he set his to 0 which corresponds to 12:00:00 Jan 1st 1970 GMT. since that timestamp is parsed locally on your machine when you load a page on something awful it uses your timezone, which would put it in dec 31st 1969.

Huh, I didn't realize that, that's really neat! But wouldn't that mean anyone could do the same and basically pick whatever regdate? I'd want to have a regdate like a couple years into the future, see if anyone noticed lol

Slippery posted:Huh, I didn't realize that, that's really neat! ya you can set it in the future, but you're likely limited to a 32-bit unix timestamp which only goes so far as 19 Jan 2038 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem). this is why we need more funding for SA development so we can get 64 bit regdates!!! somebody does have a max regdate out there, but I don't remember who exactly

Well Ive learned something from the several posts above me, so thank you! And yeah I'm holding out for Titanium or whatever that custom software radium was making so we can get 64 bit regdates!!

Goofy incidentals that don't actually add or do anything, platinum icons, stuff like that could be good. Those of us with fully pimped-out accounts gotta keep up with the Joneses, make more poo poo we have to add to feed into our completionist tendencies.

The 32-bit time bug has been fixed for ages in all modern OSes.quote:Most operating systems designed to run on 64-bit hardware already use signed 64-bit time_t integers. Using a signed 64-bit value introduces a new wraparound date that is over twenty times greater than the estimated age of the universe: approximately 292 billion years from now. The ability to make computations on dates is limited by the fact that tm_year uses a signed 32 bit integer value starting at 1900 for the year. This limits the year to a maximum of 2,147,485,547 (2,147,483,647 + 1900).[13]
