Btw, here's another egg recipe:
7-Layer Italian Quiche
2nd place student winner in the 23rd annual cooking contest! Recipe by Austin Tasler.
Ingredients:
1 9” refrigerated pie crust
1 tablespoon olive oil
¼ cup green peppers, chopped
¼ cup red peppers, chopped
¼ cup red onions, chopped
6 strips bacon
1 cup mozzarella cheese, blended with pesto, shredded
¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
6 eggs
¾ cup milk, skim or 2%
¼ cup Italian parsley, minced
1 cup croutons, crushed
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Follow package directions to lay the pie crust in a glass 9” pie pan. In a small skillet, saute green pepper, red pepper, and red onion in olive oil until tender and onion is slightly translucent. Remove vegetables from skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, brown and crumble bacon until crispy. Drain on paper towels.
Start assembling the layers by placing the crumbled bacon on the unbaked pie shell. Layer the shredded mozzarella cheese over the bacon followed by the sauteed vegetables. Layer the sun-dried tomatoes over the vegetables. In a medium size bowl, crack the six eggs and whisk in the milk until combined thoroughly. Pour over the tomatoes and vegetables. Place the Italian parsley over the egg mixture. Sprinkle the croutons over the top. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Serves 6. -

Just to jog your memory, on the old boards, there was a star system for users. The mods chose to disable it. When the moderators switched over to this new forum, they had the decision in front of them to either allow the reputation system (including comments) to be turned on, or to disable the rep system and comments. They choose to enable them.
Oh wait, what's this?
And this?
It looks like someone complaining about a decision the mods made and making post after post asking for them to change it back.
EDIT2: Meh. I'll just continue to ignore the comments in the User CP page. Trolls have at it.
I said that cause I knew the eventual outcome. Which I was correct about: the mods turning off the system again.
That's past history.
The current history is the devs announcing that they were turning it off then folks like you coming and whining about it.
Also here is a link to your comment:

So I think we're about even on the whine meter.Quote:Well no amount of my whining about it is going to bring it back anyways, so I'll just drop it. -

The buyer should be the one to know what he's bought but there are issues on NCSoft's part too.
Simply naming items "Perk" isn't really good enough and should be readily fixable.
We also need something in the Cossie creator (and optionally the UI too) to identify the various paid Add-Ons.
I'm guessing this is an historical thing: NCSoft have been kind of caught out by the popularity of the bolt on goodies so didn't forward plan too well.
The whole window with item after item being listed as PERK, PERK, PERK, is why I always check in game before buying something. It needs to be fixed.
I also went and checked this time before buying the Martial Arts Booster. I remembered saying that I was going to get it last week, but wasn't sure if I bought it this week. So I logged in FIRST to make sure. Cause I don't trust NCSoft's page. -

Here is a recipe for it:
1-2-3 Quiche
6 eggs
1 c. milk
1 c. cheese (your choice)
1 c. cooked meat and/or vegetables (cubed ham or turkey, crumbled bacon, oriental frozen vegetables, green pepper, onion, mushroom)
1 9-inch deep dish frozen pie shell
In medium bowl, thoroughly beat eggs and milk. Stir in remaining ingredients. Pour into prepared crust and bake at 375 degrees for 35-45 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving
Try this low-fat alternative:
Beat 1 egg in medium bowl. Stir in 2 cups mashed potatoes (cooked slightly) OR 2 cups cooked rice. Press mixture over bottom and sides of lightly greased 9-inch pie plate. Bake as directed above. -

I miss reading them. I got more constructive criticism out of it than anything which to me was very useful. I didnt know they were disabled till today. I just thought no one was repping my posts. Why is it that people who are offended by something always seem to get whatever offends them removed. Fine I'll play by their game! I'm offended that they're offended and want the removal removed!

So are those complaining about the mods decision and whining for them to bring back the comments.

The mods made a decision. I posted I agree with the decision.

When they bring it back, the mods should make it so the person leaving the comment isn't anonymous. This way, I can get more of a chuckle to see the person who's insulting me.

Quote:Reporting that some is cursing at you and violating forum rules, to a mod is whinny?Originally Posted by Westley
You're wrong. They disabled it because people were using it to bypass moderation and violate forum rules. And HOW did the mods find out they were bypassing moderation and violating forum rules?
You got it.... "whinny" people.
Interesting interpretation people have.
Luckily none of us get a vote in how the mods do their job.
EDIT: I'm glad a mod stated that until they find a way to turn it off for those who don't want to deal with the nonsense, we won't be seeing rep comments back on. "Whining" about it doesn't make a difference in that decision apparently.

Quote:You're right. Also 1) would be impossible no matter what they did. 2) would also be impossible unless they roll back completely to issue 12 pvp. Won't. Ever. Happen. 3) Bwhahahahahhahha.Originally Posted by Cathulhu
I doubt either is the case. The game has lost around 90% or so of it's PvPers since I13. The Devs are not going to look at the hundred or so remaining PvPers who do choose to play and go, "Hey LOOK, I13 was a success." And if they are so delusional as to do so then they will make that claim even if only 2 badgers are in there fighting over who gets to kill the "Blue Ink Man".
Likewise a few more people playing won't get NC funding of PvP. Its not like Positron is going to say to NC soft, "We just doubled the number of people who PvP in the last quarter so that proves PvP can be successful and deserves more money. We'll Yea That means we now have 123 people who now play PvP. Well yea, we had 10 times that number before I-13. Well Yea that's less then 1/1000 of the player base. But please give us money."
Any decisions on PvP are most likely to be influenced by
1) Will it draw a good percentage of the 100,000 PvEers in and keep them playing longer.
2) Will it draw PvPers who used to play, back to the game.
3) Will it draw new PvPers to the game.
No matter what the hundred or so dedicated PvPers who are left choose to do. It is unlikely to change the decisions of the Devs. If you really think otherwise, keep in mind that 10 times as many PvPers were unable stop I-13.
Instead do what ever you will have fun doing.

Ya, I enjoy PvE still too. Maybe the changes to PvP should be implemented into PvE? I'm tired of not being able to run missions as easily as those with the best IO sets.
PvE should be worked so that everyone is on a "level playing field."
Although Castle recently shot this idea down for pve, I'd be all for it.
I've always said the game is too easy.
Make it so. -
Quote:Perhaps someone should look into how Champions Online handles it.Originally Posted by UnSub
The non-unique name system doesn't have to work on a visual <charname>@<globalname> system from the cosmetic level. It could still have the separate <charname> on one level and the @<globalname> system that we are currently familiar with in CoH/V. However, under the hood it would treat <charname>s as non-unique and <globalnames> as unique, meaning <charname> suddenly becomes more flexible. There are less issues in having unique globalnames since you only need one for multiple characters, making more potentially desirable globalnames available.
Obviously the issue then becomes about sending /tells to the correct player if you only used <charname>, which could be done in a number of ways (e.g. default to friends list first, default to last <charname> sent on this account, confirm correct target if conflicts exist, etc). That part requires a bit of thought, but it isn't insurmountable.
I'm not that bothered either way, but concerns about "ugly" naming conventions can certainly be worked around since they are just top-end cosmetics. -
Quote:I would have no issue with this, as it would just be like the old forums. As I've said if you turn off rep, all parts of it should be off.Originally Posted by Forbin_Project
Been thinking about what Niv said and if they can find a way for people to turn off their rep and not get any comments then it would only be fair that those people not be able to give anyone any rep if their rep is turned off.
Fair is fair. If your not going to play the rep game then you shouldn't be able to hide behind the grey jellybeans and still rep people. -
Quote:I stand corrected.Originally Posted by Niviene
That's not what happened. The rep system still works the exact same way it did. Viewing rep comments on a Users CP was turned off due to the fact that it was too easy for users to bypass the ignore function and those not wanting to even take part in the rep system were forced to do so. It had nothing to do with moderation as it's very easy to moderate rep comments and those leaving them.
We still would like to find a way to implement it so the comments are viewable however we will not do it unless we find a way for those not interested in it to turn it off.
Thanks for taking the time to explain, and for as usual striving to get it right.
EDIT: As I mentioned in the other thread that was locked, allowing those who want to see it, and those who want it off to have it off would be best. -
Thanks! Already sold.

And I'll go ahead and voice my opinion that you are wrong, and your stubborn repetition of the same point over and over again isn't really contributing to the discussion in any meaningful way. You disagree. We understand. We understood it several pages ago as well. We didn't find your position on the debate convincing then, and have not found it convincing with further echoes in subsequent posts.
Deal.
I mean, in what universe do you live in anyway? They told us MONTHS in advance that a new and improved forum was coming, and that there would be changes. Nobody could have predicted what those exact changes were, certainly. However, you were given every reason to expect minor changes in the forum experience. What they delivered was a forum very much like the old one, with a few improvements. Which is exactly what they said they would do. And no, they were under no obligation to run the specific improvements by you first, sorry. That's not the way the Host/User relationship works on an internet forum.
So, yeah, yanno. Deal.
Deal.
Also very arguable that the rep system has been an improvement from a moderation standpoint.
So yeah, yanno. Deal.
EDIT: Just like folks allowed to repeatedly state their disagreement with the rep comments being turned off, folks on my side are allowed to repeatedly state their agreement with the mods decision. -

Good Lord! Ladies, Gentlemen, and Catgirls I'm beginning to think Mr. NoPants was right. If the 6-7 of you who have regularly posted in this thread are any example of the forum population at large then I really do think the Moderators were just overwhelmed. I'm not saying you eat kittens when no one can see you do it. I am saying that the sheer amount of venom directed at your fellow human beings in this thread would be enough to kill 10,000 kittens. My cruisers can't repel kittens of that magnitude!
This thread has devolved into an arguement over how a real man solves a problem. That was never the point of this. My issue has been and will likely for the rest of life be with the abusive trolls and thinskinned snowflakes. (thanks for that term Forbin)
Mods please lock this thread before it devolves further. Sorry to bother you.
p.s. I still want my rep comments (good or bad) back.
P.S. the system never should have been started in the first place.

PMs are quite a bit more 'formal' and less useful for conveying off the cuff opinions about individual posts than the rep system was.
The rep system did what it was designed for much better than any other forum system.
Being as these are their forums, they can certainly do whatever they like with it. And those of us who enjoyed the system and found it useful are entitled to complain about their choices.
