What are you doing now?

Playing my DS. Had a interesting conversation over "The Canary Effect". Personally, I hated it. While there was a genocide of Native Americans as the USA was being founded, that movie goes way too far.

Ok, What?

I registered to the osdever.net forum and thought that I would ask something there, but I opened the "Computer Theory" forum just to see many threads about medications and things I'm probably not allowed to say here. I logged out immediately.

So much for the newbie-freindly OS development forum praised everywhere.

Just looked at the website. I see what you mean. Either the Moderators there are lazy/non-existent, or twisted. Not sure which...

Gotta pay for the site somehow, I guess.

I am really confused what you are talking about

MTK358 · 04-20-2010, 01:15 PM

This is what I'm talking about:

EDIT: added screenshot

Seriously, after seeing those titles I'm a bit scared of clicking on any thread there.

Thats just spam because it allows unregistered postings.
Ignore please.

That's just horrible. I'm still afraid.

What if they put a normal-looking title on those threads? What if they post to normal threads?

The admin should REALLY ban unregstered people from posting. It really isn't hard to register. In fact, unlike most forums, you don't even need to wait for an activation e-mail there.

Also, the rules there obviously state that you can't post any stuff like that.

Are there any other newbie-freindly OS dev forums? Preferably where the members are intelligent, helpful, well-behaved, ambitious programmers, not members with script-kiddie like names and are oriented on inappropriate topics?

I just don't feel comfortable with osdever.net. Even legitimate members have names like "Love4Boobies" and the posters of those against-the-rules threads appear to have names, they don't say "Guest".

I guess that's not it, I have a ton of n00b questions.
