pro: less links
con:less views
con:more poeple prolly wont wanna read it seeing how long it is in one document
con:id have to keep reposting the link erasing the history of views every time
con:less links=less proffesional

hal, i keep seeing this, you keep posting things that have nothing to do with the thread. Youve been told almost every time to keep on the subject. those things can be discussed in pm's. This is a book club, and unless there's a part of my book talking about ninva's avatar(which btw is pretty cool) u shouldn't be talking about it

word.:)

If you're commenting my statement then I suggest that your goal in life isn't to get more numbers of readers. No matter what you'd get move than five reads on your story. By the time it's finish the number may go down.

Thanks, Halahan. <3

Takes to much time, lay back a bit horton. try not to sound so authoritative, that's for the mods if they find a problem with it. I tend to get a bit off-subject, but it isn't demoting you're story in any way and I can't see any problem with it as long as I don't start a conversation about f.e. The LA Lakers (They suck :))

take it up with a mod if you've got such a problem with it.

Book club? wtf?

Where's here?

seriously, I don't get what the problem is. In a thread on a story "Nice Avatar Ninva". I don't get how that is so annoying. I'm not flaming, its not a long conversation, its just a quick comment on ninva's avatar and a bump for horton besides.
Both of you, I'm not even kidding, calm down.

Aw. I hate it when sarcasm is misconstrued because it's used in text. I was hoping that you would catch it, but I guess it can't be helped sometimes. Anywho, hortononon, I'm sorry I haven't read it yet. That's all I can say. =/

Can I ask you a question Silverhawk?
is you're appearance in the WC because conan has been rather inactive of late? I'm just wondering, seeing as you're as far as I can tell not really a writer, no offense intended

Nope, just happened to be stopping by to see how things were going. Believe it or not, we admins do try to keep an eye on the site. :p

As for me, I'm more of a "wannabe writer". There are a few stories I'd like to write, but they're long and I'm lazy, so they remain as ideas in my head.

I read the second chapter and the third.

Second: It's ok... You write things a little plainly, but that will be fixed the more you write and read... for example.
"We walked another two minutes and reached the dark part." thats rather mediocre writing, try something like 'The fleeting echoes of our footfalls followed us across the gray stone until reaching a dark spot my flashlight couldn't pierce.'
well, its harder writing about something where you're not actually writing a story, just giving an example. but you get the jist, say everything short enough so where it doesn't bother the reader, but don't say it like 'They walked to the dark spot.' that doesn't conjure up an image at all for the reader...

The Plot line kind of annoys me, because it doesn't seem like it could actually happen... And this plot line I've heard of a thousand times. Austin wrote a form of it when he tried the WC out...

Its not bad.. just needs some work.

third: Pretty much he same stuff I highlighted about the second...

@Silverhawk, Aight, Just wondering.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • Varine Varine:
    I ordered like five blocks for 15 dollars. They're just little aluminum blocks with holes drilled into them
  • Varine Varine:
    They are pretty much disposable. I have shitty nozzles though, and I don't think these were designed for how hot I've run them
  • Varine Varine:
    I tried to extract it but the thing is pretty stuck. Idk what else I can use this for
  • Varine Varine:
    I'll throw it into my scrap stuff box, I'm sure can be used for something
  • Varine Varine:
    I have spare parts for like, everything BUT that block lol. Oh well, I'll print this shit next week I guess. Hopefully it fits
  • Varine Varine:
    I see that, despite your insistence to the contrary, we are becoming a recipe website
  • Varine Varine:
    Which is unique I guess.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Actually I was just playing with having some kind of mention of the food forum and recipes on the main page to test and see if it would engage some of those people to post something. It is just weird to get so much traffic and no engagement
  • The Helper The Helper:
    So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air
