    And when it is done with the purpose to delete the forum, that is a criminal act of destruction against someone's property which should be treated with the utmost severity.

    the US residents that inhabit general on the NS forums are for the most part extremists at either end of the political polarity that should all have been breast fed and not shoved off on cereal at 4 days of age.

    ** SERVER DOWNTIME AHEAD **

    Hello all!We will be off the air for approximately 3 hours starting at 6pm PDT on August 30:
    Click for your local time
    During this time, the entire site will be unavailable, including the forums.
    This scheduled maintenance is to upgrade and shift around a few servers. In particular, it is to let us move off a server that has experienced 13 hardware failures to date. Then we can bury it in the ground and salt the earth so that nothing can ever grow there, as a warning to others.
    Due to operator incompetence, there may be some bugs and weirdness once we come back, which I will fix promptly. But hopefully not.
    Thank you for your patience!

    I had a quick look at Tails 2.5 after reaching 50 endorsements and then being vapourized for the umpteenth time by some ISIS-spirited sad person, but thought naaaahhh! Why bother anymore; it's their loss - whoever "they" are!

    I used to like a discussion and enjoy a bit of repartee, but maybe my enthusiasm for British humour and sarcasm was not liked or understood by those in authority. BBD has the same spirit as me, but he's a much wilier person!

    I read the statement and cannot dispute that which I cannot remember. But if my behaviour was such that it was conceived to be of a DOS nature, than it had and has to be accepted by me. It's not up to me to question the length of my banning as it's a private sight. What is, is.

    Fantoccini! Regarding the flag you inquired about some time ago, despite my advancing age I'm still able to make a reasonable attempt at a newer one, however the stitching might be a bit wayward!

    I do have arthritis, but maybe that's not quite relevant. It is to me, of course.

    The problem with every census is that in every country they have different criteria and definitions, so what's understood in the USA facts and figures may make no logical sense to a French person for example, who may quite properly question the USA criteria and definitions -  even from a USA point-of-view!

    The peoples' of Mayor Tweedy are from anywhere and everywhere and their traditions are many-fold and holidays numerous. If the inhabitants share a common ethos, it's one based on an end of year event called Hogmanay extended over nine months of the New Year, enabling the people partake in a bit of cleaning-up and some even going to work!

    Tweedy reacted to Fujai in Fujansk Designs   
    Hello, and welcome to Fujaian Designs, formerly Flags by Fujai, a graphic design service run by yours truly, Fujai (pronounced foo-'jay or foo'yay).
    While this service began with flags, it has since expanded to include regional themes, branding (for nations, storefronts, or anything else), maps, seals, badges, awards, coats of arms, banners, and any other type of graphic design!
    To request a design, simply send me a telegram, forum PM, or a Discord message at Smithy876#6074. I ask that you include what you would like, any ideas you have, such as color or style, and what it will be used for. After I send you a first draft, let me know if there is anything you would like to change—I encourage constructive criticism so that I can make you the best product possible.
    You can see a gallery of my work at my dispatch here.
    A couple notes:
    My only request is that after I've made you a design (assuming that you like it), you point people in my direction if they ask about it or need something designed.
    Programs I use, if you're curious:
    For designing, I mainly use Adobe Illustrator (95%), Adobe Photoshop (4%), and FlagMaker (1%). Free alternatives to Illustrator and Photoshop are Inkscape and GIMP. If you are a student or work for a university or large company, you probably have some sort of discount for Adobe products. If you don't have a discount, they charge ridiculously exorbitant prices for much the same functionality as the free alternatives.
    ColorBrewer.org is a great utility for making scientifically tested color schemes for maps and other forms of data visualization. Color.adobe.com is also a useful tool for making color schemes.
    I use Instant Eyedropper to sample the color of any pixel on my screen, and Image Resizer for Windows to resize my images easily.
    This will always be a completely free service.
    Thanks!
