  • stupid popup

    I open css and it runs perfect. No popups or anything. then I join a game, and it downloads perfectly. When I get to the mapdescription part where you have to press "ok" to continiue it starts to lag a bit (think its because the game has to load everything) But then when I get to the teampicking part, I keep getting this stupid popup adverticing thingy that minimizes css and brings me back to the desktop. Now I can either close the popup or just return to the game again. The problem is that during that time were both the game loads and the popup gets activated my ping freaks out, and Im generally kicked out of most of the games I join. this means it takes forever to join a game, and most of the times I get kicked by the server for highpinging.

    My question is how to stop those popups. I think Ive tried almost everything.

    Quote from Backslider

    Kosmo, you are an ignorant, illogical, asshat who lacks common sense and starves for attention. Maybe you should go ahead and read the def. of terrorist (which was posted here a short time ago.)

    I second that

  • Bad Grammar and spelling

    Let's have an other open discussion here. The central question is:

    Bad spelling and grammar: why is it so common amongst youths?

    Seriously, I am sometimes wondering why some people write as bad english as they do. And I don't mean the people from where english isn't the first language or the rare dyslectic case: some people seem to be really putting effort into not writing proper sentences.

    Is it due to lack or knowledge of a different level of education? Is it just being lazy or is it 'cool' to do so? Do people do this intentional or do they just not care that they write bad english. Better yet: is it common amongst youths? (I do get the impression it is, but it's not based on absolute numbers; just on what I read)

    This is not a thread to dis people who write bad english; I am just curious to find out the reason and/or motivation behind it. I've always be frank in the fact I think the (abundant) usage of bad grammar and/or spelling reflects poorly of the writer but for now I will try and put that aside and let my curiosity take the upperhand in this discussion-to-be.

    Fire away and remember to remain respectful
