LWS Talk (Yes, more of it)

When I can, I would like to buy the domain for LWS.com or LivingWithStyle.com and attempt to revive it....

GoDaddy.com says that someone does own the domain, so I guess I have to wait until it's available again...
Anyone want to spend money to help get the domain? http://www.godaddy.com/domains/domai...GWITHSTYLE.COM

I was definitely involved with LWS's community for some time, I'm the brother of ThePostalDude if you remember him, he attended one of LWS's Scavenger Hunts where you look for requested items and took pictures of them.

I still talk with SeniorPP every now and then... right Chris??

I also loved betting my Style Points by playing PokerRoom and doing other bets.

And going to get tons of free cardboard boxes, and samples of random things!

Remember when they did a secret santa thing?

Wasn't LWS the place where I got the free Choxie coupons??? FUCK YEAAAA!!!

OMGPoni was the best member for getting computer hardware advice from, he helped me buy the hardware for my first built computer!


Pictures n Videos that I've got...

Remember Freaks of LWS?

Oh yea, and I paid people SP to make my clan picture/gif! I pissed off a lot of people because I wasn't satisfied with what people made for me until I finally found a good one.

I have some vids from SeniorPP... :)

I remember doing prank calls on skype with SeniorPP and MasterPilot. Also remember AdamDiz and Jessica (They're together now) Nadia, captain_castle, ebolalws, everready, funnibunni, ninecastles, paulytlws, shuteyetrain, talleylws, thrillerlws and prlnman. I do have recordings of some crazy pranks...

I also might have went as GenWatsonHV or Mike Hunt...


Anyways, I guess I just can't keep my mind off of LWS... WHYYYYYYYY.

I often look to see if LWS is for sale from time to time. My guess is that he niheel has no intention of giving it up.

Oh man I miss paying people to do dares in the Bordello
Some dude in there sent me a GBA with about a dozen games for 20SP

niheel bought the site for like 50 grand, right

so i don't think he'll be keen to unload it for whatever few bucks we can scrape together (also i wouldn't want it back)

Register www.eldoubleyouess.com and only grant access to tritium-level members, it can be the EB and DD site.

Or we could, you know, move on.

That's a level of maturity we do not possess.

nggrfggt

I keep thinking about trying to buy it and just redirect it here.

This is probably the most elaborate spambot yet.

Yeah. Let's hit up somethingawful for members.

I remember when niheel told us that he liked to call himself niel because people were too stupid to spell niheel

I can only assume he was unable to spell his own name

Not to mention that the typical way to spell it was "Neil" and he spelled it "Niel"

"I" before "E" except after $50,000

I was never clear on whether that was him being stupid or him trying to make it sound more like his real name.

I gave him the benefit of the doubt at first. Now, not so much.

The other day I meant to go to zions, I typed zoints :(.

Do people actually use zoints like facebook or anything?

Only spammers use zoints

Not according to the comments on the owner's profile:

Quoting captainslater:
Doug, I checked back for several months. It seems there is no activity at all (also in the support forums). Wouldn't it be better to just shut down everything?

Quoting Doug:
Probably.

(from http://doug.zoints.com/comments/?modid=14 )

I too go to LWS to see if it is active from time to time.
I remeber getting Iraqi money with Saddam's face on it from SoldierRam, getting a communist flag from Dr. Bint and receiving a knitted hat from TGO; knitted by his mother :D

i still have this. it doesn't really fit my head.

remember the time grr1d told soldierram's mom that her son was going to come home in a body bag (it was the only funny thing he's ever done)

Welcome back. Yeah I got a lot of good memories from LWS too. Stick around bro, eventually this place will be better than LWS ever was.

PS: If I were you I'd come up with a better nickname than "The HIV guy". Probably not the best ice-breaker lol.

lol, that's what the people at LWS made up for me! Common, you know when you looked at the HV thing you thought "HIV" for a sec, then said LOL JAMES BOND HAS HIV lololol XDDDDDDDD

I didn't but, then again, I can goddamn read.

I got both the money, and hat, but sadly I've lost them all.

I used Saddam to do a lot of drugs though.

I remember having a bunch of people in my high school sign up for LWS, so I could win a referral contest. I ended up winning 1st place and receing some ninja throwing stars, some knives, a lighter shaped like a gun, and some other weapons.

Why is TOGS the first post? Where did the OP go?

Where's the main post?

It is my belief that it is now in what they call the "Front Page".

That's pretty cool. Having to go to the front page to access the first post of threads in CI really streamlines the whole forum reading process.

I understand it's purpose in trying to highlight content, but I do not understand why the first post has to be taken.

Because Scarf is busy with a wife and a baby and Tengu is busy with a cheeseburger and Star Wars: The Old Republic?

The Aristocrats!

Hi sorry I had a 2nd birthday party this weekend with a million people in my tiny apartment. I'll get to work right away on this issue now

Also part of the issue is it shows up just fine for me as an admin, I had to visit the site via private browsing to see what you all are talking about - so it looked fine for us, hence why it hasn't been an issue ;)

edit: on the bright side I guess, casualdiscouse.com is the 3rd result on google for "vbulletin front page 1st post disappeared"

Whelp I've spent over 30 minutes trying to figure this out so I will defer to DaiTengu on this one. I tried to un-publish the article hoping that would fix it back to the way it was but I don't think it did. Publishing articles is restricted to admin-only so hopefully gwahir and tengu see this is a problem and don't publish anything else until we get it sorted out.

I'll poke around more later today and keep you posted if I make any progress.

Cool, thanks.

somehow the first post got "moderated"

I unmoderated it. I don't think it has anything to do with publishing it to the front page, but I will be sure to go through and publish every thread on the forum just to make sure. I assume nothing will go wrong with this plan at all.


Also, Supermods can push stuff to the front page as well, Scarfy.

Supermods can create content but cannot "publish", I know this because I initially turned it on because I thought supermods should be able to do that, but turned it back off until this particular issue was sorted out /nerdfight

Maybe the first post got moderated because it was his first post and it mentioned godaddy.com (that's why I made the spambot joke)

((I still think it's a spambot))

nermy i think you are a spambot

nermy really is a spambot. I've seen his posts.

it's spelt spermbot

Ahh, just found out that my LWS name was HellsVengeance.

That name sounds way more familiar to me than "the HIV guy" lol. For real though I do remember your name now.

I always loved that flames title change. I forget the exact cost, but was something like every 100 posts I'd be able to change the title to "CWG <3s TEELO" or something equally as lame.

Ahhhh nostalgia.


I ran into Chriswcs in Diablo 3 beta actually. What a GC.

HOLY SHIT did you ever get that free iPod????

lol, nope! I did what it asked for, completing offers and such, then the last part was to send out emails advertising the free ipod thing, but what I did was just make the emails myself. They caught me doing that because I stupidly made the emails very similar, so they DENIED ME. But an old friend from my High School did it and got an iPod...

Dude, that sucks! Send me your name and your email and let's see if we can't get you your iPod!

You're going to try to get me an iPod? or something?

Yeah man, totally. I don't see why we couldn't.

lol fubarbitch

A soc. security number would help speed things up too.

If you give me a credit card number I can hook you up with a free iPad.

4743-1620-5927-2114
CV2 Code: 152

VISA
Just use "James Watson" as the name

email me when you need an address. :)

I really hope you are that stupid. I don't want that to be a fake credit card number.

Stupid? Fake? YOU'RE STUPID AND FAKE

Maybe, but all the guys love my stupid fake titties.

I didn't have a chance yet I guess.

It's like a time capsule: http://www.somethingawful.com/d/week...with-style.php

too bad, you have to deal with this site instead.

:'(

In case some of you didn't know, I started this Living With Style Steam group back in 2007.

Feel free to join it so we can keep the LWS gamers together.

Ah, I remember this! Having the Style Points was quite fun. Does CD have any plans to implement something similar?

I think it's in the plans.

I vaguely remember things that Style Points could be spent on - does anybody have a list? It would be rather nostalgic to read back on it... ;)

1) My dick

Yeah. Unfortunately I haven't had a lot of time lately. I'm trying to find the right "shop" for vbulletin that will implement the most important things. The problem is, some shops do some things but not others, and other shops do the other things, but not the ones the first one did. And you can't have more than one.

Also, We don't have a programmer on staff who can just write this shit.

excuses excuses

I wish I was Hippocrass

If you get an existing store with some features I can probably just copy code and edit it to do new stuff you know

At the time when I was looking for an online community be join, having the Style Points and all the cool stuff that could be purchased with them was one of the big factors in my decision to join LWS. Maybe implementing something similar here would encourage more members?

I still have an active subscription even though I haven't logged in for like 3 months. Also, it's F2P. Hell, I can't even log in, the authenticator tied to my account was tied to my old phone.

yeah i tried going back to it on the day it went f2p. didn't have enough actionbars for all my skills, so i logged back out.

they failed f2p, its kind of impressive.
