I think I'm going to stop entering these things... idk... maybe its cause we examine these poems to closely..
I know my poem was better then horton's. no offense, yours was good. I forget what Demonwrath's was.

Maybe I just have a different idea of what good poetry is.
Nestharus wasn't even judged when he entered ¿

Yes, urs was better, but, what i discovered from judging is that those traits we use are, too technical, if you judge without em the outcome will be much different.. Maybe we should drop the traits and just use our minds, it would save a lot of time and the true winners would win, i have a confession, i thought Rheias should have won PC3, no offense monsterous, but yours passed the technical judging, idk, maybe im just rambling on about something stupid, feel free to criticize.;)

Nestharus wasn't even judged when he entered ¿

He was disqualified for posting the same poem twice...

"Posting the same poem twice." He was disqualified? didn't count?
you people... just don't make sense. That rule is just stupid when it wasn't judged in the poetry contest.

Nestharus has not been judged as it is against the rules. I did make my decision about it. Rules are Rules. Just do send a different poem next time Nestharus :)


Uh. Mind explaining this one? I saw nothing wrong with his poem, so... Yeah. Explain.

The rules says:
Rules:

* You may submit any type of poem, so long as it relates to the topic stated above.
* There is no limit on length.
* It must be one that YOU have written, and it cannot be one that you've posted on this site previously. We cannot prevent you from posting an older poem, but it must be new to this site.
* Any copying of another member's poem, or copying of any previously-written poem [even if you wrote it] will result in disqualification. You will also be banned from the next few Poetry Contests, provided we continue this tradition.

He posted the poem onto Poetry Contest 3.

He was banned from PC3, though. His poem wasn't really counted, I see no problem with judging it this time around, so long as it still fits the theme.

The almighty rules do say
  • It must be one that YOU have written, and it cannot be one that you've posted on this site previously. We cannot prevent you from posting an older poem, but it must be new to this site.

and I'm am sorry he did post it before'

Actually, I don't have to yell at you :) Because I overrule you. We disallowed his poem, WE said it didn't count. Therefore, it didn't. If it fits the theme of the new contest, it's allowed.

So declares I :) And that, my friends, is final.

I am still waiting for his rating, Monsterous. We will not begin a new contest until this one is finished. Completely finished.

Alrighty then. Halo is free to start his contest whenever he wants. Once he does, this will be locked and unstuck, until then it's open for congratzing. Please rep the winner if ya can and if not... Well. Don't o_O

I'm gonna try to talk to Halo. I know he's not on a whole lot, so if he doesn't think he can commit to hosting a contest, we'll either give it to a second place winner [the other guy BEFORE me, and if he doesn't want to/can't, I'll do it -.-] or I'll be a jerk and say "Hey, I'm an admin" and do it :) Naturally, I still would not be named a "winner" :D

General chit-chat
Help Users
  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • 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
  • The Helper The Helper:
    New dessert added to recipes Southern Pecan Praline Cake https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-southern-pecan-praline-cake.193555/
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Another bot invasion 493 members online most of them bots that do not show up on stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I'm looking at a solid 378 guests, but 3 members. Of which two are me and VSNES. The third is unlisted, which makes me think its a ghost.

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
