    Posting Restored

    FWIW, the forum I run has been on vBulletin 4.x since its inception in 2013, and it has been essentially smooth sailing software-wise. No real problems finding off-the-shelf modifications, no real issue making adjustments by hand (as loathe as I am to deal with PHP). vB5, however, is a train...

    YouTube stopped embedding a while ago. -- demoting bit rot and degrading user experience

    Me: Which is gps out to do more? Bag on me and/or my site or constructively address his issues with this site? gps: replies with a post 3/4ths of which bags on me, despite claiming it isn't about me/intpx, and doesn't give a fuck about me/intpx. *applause* p.s. if you want your content...

    YouTube stopped embedding a while ago. -- demoting bit rot and degrading user experience

    So, gps, which are you out to do more? I mean, by word count devoted one way or the other alone it seems you're much more interested in maligning me/my site than providing constructive criticism and/or suggestions to INTPforum here. Entertaining, I must say. And reminds of why you got temp...

    YouTube stopped embedding a while ago. -- demoting bit rot and degrading user experience

    I stole nothing. I just created a new ship on which our members could sail, and many boarded it from our by-then-sinking ship. The old sinking ship, INTPc was left to rot by its "ownership" and eventually fully sunk. And way to take shots at me, gps, in forum you think I won't see it, ha...

    If there is, it'd be right next to some kind of INTPforum with INTPs.

    how many users of INTPf are also users of INTP complex?

    We didn't censor it. We kept it hidden from the unworthy. Use more discretion when sharing such deep and meaningful images with the unwashed masses. It disrupts our elitist agenda, you see?

    Cubing

    I'm a "beginner" cuber. I can solve a (sufficiently tensioned if not also lubricated) Rubik's cube in about 30 seconds, using a tweaked "beginner" (one layer at a time) method. I'm studying an F2L method, but it bores me. I'd much prefer to peak out the simpler (fewer algos) "beginner" method...

    RFC: Fork the site

    Just mean to share my perspective as the guy who essentially "forked" INTPcentral into a new forum a while back ... be prepared. It may not be obvious to some ... the amount of effort, time and money that can go into establishing and (key: )maintaining a forum like this. Also, I was in a...

    Intp central, how does it make you feel?

    Yup. INTPcentral has been dead as in offline for several weeks now (don't ask me why, I just run the new site, never had anything to do with running the old one).

    Bans

    On another intp forum I'm aware of, we go about it like so. 1. warnings as appropriate 2. for lesser offenses athwart warnings (or clearly stated rules), temporary isolation in a kind of penalty box forum. 3. for breaking harder rules and/or persistent no-nos, a temp-ban. 4. repeated...

    Latest Forum Outage [Bandwidth exceeded at the end of May]

    Re: Latest Forum Outage Technically, we didn't "upgrade". We started out on the latest 4.x vBulletin and on a hosting setup specifically provisioned for future growth. When and where I can, I'm making sure we research and document every tweak/mod we make, in the event we'd ever want to go up...

    Why Ayn Rand?

    I could be accurately called an Objectivist (as in: my own personal philosophy closely although not exactly accords with Rand's, as explicitly expressed), so... That said, I can't whatsoever abide her attempts at fiction; godawful tripe. That opinion stands in sharp contrast to my evaluation of...

    Game of Thrones

    I'm a hater, and I gotta hate. Game of Thrones is nothing but a flimsy excuse for gratuitous sex and violence for gratuity's sake. What a complete waste of otherwise top-notch talent and production value. Fail. :pueh:

    Self Confidence and Irrelevancy

    And yet your basis for relevance (of your ideas so as to call them "close to irrelevant" in the OP) is "the grand world as a whole"? There's the paradox, it seems.

    Self Confidence and Irrelevancy

    Why concern yourself with that? Why need your thoughts be of relevance to "the grand world as a whole" in order to be of any worth/relevance to you?

    How do you cheer yourself up/boost your confidence?

    Engage in a hobby that involves creating/expressing/producing something. Go jogging or undertake some other aerobic physical activity. Failing any of that: Take a good, long look at the slack shuffle of the moojority all around me, reminding myself I'm nothing like them for even being aware of...

    How many here see men and women as individuals?

    Exactly. Such circumstances cause me to wonder "why?"
  40. Ptah

    How many here see men and women as individuals?

    Perhaps, insofar as the group is about something chosen/done, not something nature-given (as in non-/pre-choice). For instance, the group "astronaut" -- an occupation, fine. "Male" or "female" -- (typically) nature-given? Not fine. Evaluate people for who they are (through what they do/choose)...
  41. Ptah

    How many here see men and women as individuals?

    I meant: male or female, neither or both, regardless: a person is an individual -- a distinct human being worthy of being treated as such. Moreover, we shouldn't judge people for what they are (in the sense of the nature-given), but for what they do (as supervenes upon their choices).

    Gender/sex has nothing whatsoever to do with the individuality of a person.
