does no one find it odd that its been a year since hes posted. I heard nothing of the site closing, no good byes nothing. Last thing was working on a testsite for gw and working the quirks. If you ask me that seems odd he would let his 'baby' rpg stars die at least not without telling someone.
If hes moved on in life thats great but personally, I would like to know if thats the case.
I contacted GoDaddy in order to figure out a way to recover a potentially lost domain because the owner is unreachable. There is however little hope that a friendly takeover can be done without the initial owner's agreement.
The domain will most likely end up being for sale and the first buyer wins.
It was through Rpgstars and Chile's efforts along with the rest of the staff that I was able to participate in Arena.net's Guildwars alpha testing during it's development and to meet Mike O'Brien and Patrick Wyatt and Jeff Strain. Developers who I had followed from my fandome of Blizzard and StarCraft and Warcraft.
Being able to meet them really gave me a sense of perspective on possibility and I believe it contributed to the determination I found to get into Computer Science and pursue a degree.
Though I don't spend much time playing Guildwars anymore I still think it's a great franchise and I will remember fondly the Rpgstars forums and Chile and his positive character.
I also want to extend my gratitude to the Rpgstars staff and their hard work to keep Rpgstars going. I hope no one was personally hurt or offended by this turn of events. Should Rpgstars never return.
I don't mean for this to be an add about Rpgstars but I figure since Chile was so close to this community at one point that he and some of the people who were in Rpgstars would stop here to read this.
If any of you wan't to meet up on StarCraft 2 sometime (when it comes out). I will try to be on as Adovid-- UsEast if there is one.
Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.
@tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.
You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences
I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
