Read a free webcomic...
Like Phoenix Requiem, which has very pretty artwork and a nice suspense factor coming along as well... I'm at the painful point where I've caught up to the release updates, and even though they have it coming out at an amazing speed, it's still hard to wait for the next installment.

What else can we do to stave off the silence and fear, encroaching?

As a member of the Society for Putting Things on Top of Other Things, this goes against my code of conduct.

They put webcomics on top of other webcomics ;)
This is a most sinister convention of the Power Users, by the way. The PTB, they try to scry our motives. Whether we will move, or whether we will shake... :p

Would have sufficed. "Scry", though, does lend panache.

Probably accurate, too. What they so reflexively reject has to be a mystery to them. Requires of them that they consult a crystal ball.

Spell-Check doesn't like "scry". Makes me wonder if the PTB reason no farther than does their Spell-Check of intellection (doesn't like "intellection", either).

A convergence of interests, that. It's just that I can't take my mind off of things.

Were you the one who posted the link for Girl Genius recently? Anyway, if you like to break your brain occasionally, there's nothing like having a child do it for you:

Mozilla browser dictionaries certainly have some weird failures of recognition, and need to be trained. Come to think off it, I've never used spelling check in another application, so this could be par for the course.

Descry. v/ Scry. (S) Intellection. (S)

If they want to get rid of us, they'll have to put in the thumb-conversion ... looking forward to that, I'm tired of all the mail from people who want upgraded privileges :p

What has long been known?

The top 100 still includes people who have not logged in for YEARS. Value of list approacheth zero.

I've found it odd myself, as none of us are exactly the dedicated IT professional type. And I don't see why Sir Post-a-lot = power user in this nominally technical forum.

But hey, it means I can keep putting weird avatars on the site's main page. :p

has ratings, you could rate it x and see if that helps at all.

Confused and wondering why, why should I be?

by tigger_two

But I have been living the same thing all my life. AND I think I'm older than you.

All-over-the-place is my middle (but not legal) name!

You went through the last "site upgrade" as I recall.

Don't know if Gravitar hits are impacting. Never DID understand the Top 100 or how you got there- even if I DID manage to hold that position once for over six months (don't recall how long it actually was).

by ansugisalas

I had about 19 thumbs, Maxwell had a hundred times that... so that's not factored in, obviously.
There's nothing else speaking for my being in the "power user" list, except for having been in the top three posters for six months more or less. So at least we know that posts are factored in.
If I've been doing 500 posts per month for six months, and Maxwell has been doing, say 200 posts per month in that period; then even if a thumb ranked only at value with a post, he should have me beat 3000+19 < 1200+1900 ... so thumbs aren't counted yet.

If so, do you use your hands when hugging?
Use of hands for something, i.e. handling, is the original meaning of manipulation, so you can stay.

Of course, I'm here for the manipulation live-fire exercises; no way to protect oneself from manipulation if one hasn't been in the sandbox with it...

Or New-site-bug years?
I remember loggin in on the 24th and seeing ... was it Seanferd with the fractal gravatar and a "last seen 4 years ago"... if those people haven't logged in at the right non-bugged times since then, their timestamp won't get fixed.
