PACIFIC RIM-UPRISING(2018), the sequel to 2013's "Pacific Rim", is about to release to Ultra 4k and Blu Ray. In these movies, 250 foot tall robots defend Earth from an assault of other worldly giant monsters(kaiju).

Just 'cause it isn't too serious.

Okay. :)

The weather here in Atlanta, GA is gradually beginning to cool off although we're still getting temps in the low 80's frequently in the afternoons. The drought continues-we've had a few sporadic shots of rain but the overall rain deficit here is over 20 inches for the year. A total outdoor watering ban is now in effect.

Is this a random thought, Kex, running through your head right now? Or maybe you're just getting yourself into a Halloween frame of mind? tongue-1

What am I going to do to get Corey to come back to Monsterland Forums, Kex? I'm referring, of course, to King Joe. I thought about bribery. The problem: he's too honest for that. shifty eyes

Well, I saw Final Wars last night. Plus I like Gigan. Especially in that movie.

Kex, what happened to World Of Ultra? I noticed that someone was posting in the WOU chat box using my username.

It's regrettable that WOU didn't really come around. I always believed a chat box at the WOU site helped to contribute to this site's lack of activity because many were satisfied to post in the box and not on the actual forum.

Hey all, sorry for not being around again, much, been having some bad health days, recently. Nothing too serious, just nagging issues. Had blood work done, last week and the arterial ultrasound on my legs. Went to the Dr's today and the good enws is the arterial ultrasound showed nothing serious with blockage issues. The blood work was a mixed bag and urine sample showed that I may be looking at dialysis down the road, which scare the hell out of me. I am being put on meds that they hope will stop any more loss of kidney function, so hoping that helps.

On a more positive note, after suffering with temps close to 90º for several days, now, today, we bottomed out...cold and lots of rain! Mr Green Dad said the highest temp he saw today was 50º. dancing admin

Going to be a busy weekend, here. The guy is coming to power-wash the outside of the house on Saturday.....Carol and I will be painting the kitchen on Saturday and Monday, the men are coming to put down the carpet and linoleum. :)

Since I haven't been feeling so well, been watching a ton of horror films, in honor of October/Halloween. thumbs up

Sorry to hear you're having more health issues, Kimi. I'm glad to see you posting here again.

Is this a temporary or permanent action?

The weather has become decidedly cooler here in Atlanta, GA as well but still no rain. We now have a 20 inch+ deficit for the year and are in a total outdoor watering ban. My company's plant install business has dropped dramatically and the extended drought may affect our seasonal flower or "color" changeover on our client's properties.

Take care Kimi and hang in there. We miss you when we don't see you around here but you obviously have to take care of yourself first and foremost. I know I can speak for the other members here in saying we all hope you get to feeling better soon. :)

As the end of the year 2007 approaches(it's only about 10 weeks away) I have decided to try and add another staffer to this site. Monsterland Forums will reach 13,000 posts by the end of this year, an increase of 1726 posts over last year's post total of 5637. The number of registrations has grown by 13 members this year, which seems like a low number but considering I have only been actively advertising this site for about the last six weeks it's, IMO, respectable.

There are currently three(3) admins here: myself, Kimi D.("KaijuFanatic") and Dan B.("Ro-Dan"). Kimi and Dan are both people I trust with this site and it's continued existence in the event something were to happen to me, short or long term, that would prevent me from accessing the internet.

I would like to add another staffer, with admin status, who can help promote this site on the internet, assist me with anything board related, as it arises, and generally help with posting until MF can get more posting activity from those who have registered. Before advertising for another staffer I would like to extend to anyone here who may be interested a chance to talk with me about the opening by PM. I'm not looking for experience. I am looking for someone who would be active here and committed to helping advertise and "drive" this site along with posts. At this point posting and helping out by advertising at other sites are the two criteria I need help most in.

I have run this site on my own for the most part, with the exception of Dan and Kimi, who backstopped me in January of this year(a computer hard drive crash) and in July(when I changed residences). They should both know I am and always will be grateful for that.

Working this site on my own is, unfortunately, wearing me down. As many of you know I work full time M-F. I am usually out the door at 6:45 AM every weekday AM and I don't get home until 4:15 PM. My day job, as a professional landscape foreman, tires me out, and at age 45 I can tell you I tire out more quickly nowadays. I put in time at this site nightly, in addition to trying to advertise it at other sites. I also put in considerable time on weekends here, though admittedly not as much lately.

If I get no replies from anyone here about this staffer position I will advertise it on several other support/services boards that I post at, which affiliate/advertise this site. Gaining active members here at Monsterland Forums is going to be an uphill battle, given the number of quality and high profile general discussion boards on the internet, and given the number of quality sites that are horror/sci-fi themed with their own forums.
I would like to see this site ultimately range from 100-125 members within the next two years with an average daily post activity in the 40-50 post range, or a little higher.

Right now Monsterland Forums averages about 17-18 posts per day, half of them mine. This time last year it was about the same although the number of registered members was smaller, and the posting activity was basically confined to about three people, unlike the half dozen active members we have now.

This site has made progress, just not enough, IMO, and much of that is due to my own failings in knowing how to advertise this site and also how to make this forum look more visually appealing.

Sorry for the rambling. I'm going to advertise the staffer position in 2-3 weeks, assuming I don't here from anyone here. Those who are PM me. Thanks and take care, everyone. :)

--Carol and I did indeed paint the kitchen on Saturday, looks pretty damn nice, if I do say so, myself. Mr Green We also had the house power-washed the same day and they did a wonderful job, the house has vinyl-siding, but looks like it's been freshly painted.

--Monday, we had the new carpet and linoleum installed and the result is amazing.....I love it!

--Attended my oldest nephew's first junior high football game on Tuesday evening. Branden is small for his age and played on special teams, mainly. The team looked decent in the first half and were up, 14-6 at half, but were shut-out in the second half and lost, 20-14!

--Dad hasn't been feeling well for a couple of weeks, nothing serious, but just run down and tired and he asked me to look at his lower back, the other day and he has shingles! My God, they look so painful....he's never had them and while we were pretty sure that's what was wrong, he went to the Dr's on Thursday and it was confirmed.

--Temps are still slightly above normal, but not horrible so and we had rain all day on Friday and they are calling for a pretty wet week, this week. Wish we could send some down your way, Lee.

So do I Kimi. So do I. shifty eyes

How are you feeling, Kimi?

As many of you may, or may not know, I have been trying to advertise Monsterland Forums quite a bit the last two months. There are some affiliate buttons at the bottom of the main page, and a rotating sig banner at the bottom, all of which I'm obligate to display in order that an affiliate button, and MF sig banner, display at various other sites, both support/services and general discussion.

Here are some sites that I have registered at and advertised MF:

Advertisement Centre
AdminChat.net
Public Promotions(temporarily offline while it undergoes a revamp)
Ink Drop Styles
Forum Styles
Mokata
One4All
Enchanted Minds
Community Lounge
Invisionize
Invisionfree Skin Zone
Pokemon Ads
Sign That Ad


Additional sites I plan on joining to promote MF:

Invisionfree Unlimited
Invisionfree Expedience
Discuss Online


If anyone wants a URL link to any of these sites please PM me. These boards are all up and coming and staffed by good people.

Sorry to hear about your Father Kimi. I've heard shingles are a like a form of adult chicken pox. Does that make any sense? Whatever it may be I wish him a speedy recovery.

Lee, as far as advertising, theres a few questions I need to ask about how to do a few things, but Im going to attempt to add a banner, or at least a link, to another videogame site I frequent. I may also get on board at a couple other forums.

Cool! That banner for a sig would be cool as well.

Today was a rough one at work. With the cold front that came through the area, temperatures dropped almost 20 degrees and we had alot of people in the hospital that quite frankly weren't supposed to be there. I had to remove various transients and individuals sleeping on the premises and some who had attempted to steal food and linens. As a result I took plenty of their verbal abuse but luckily nothing became physical this time. It can be tough when it comes time to deal with the homeless in the area, but the sad fact is most of the ones that try to abuse the resources of the hospital arent there because they just need help...most are ex-cons, druggies, or just plain lazy people who wish to live off someone elses money. At the end of a shift I often question myself about these troubled people. On one hand at times I feel sorry for them, but all the same I have a job to do, and a part of that job is maintaining the order of the hospital and protecting the assets of the company. I guess at times it can be a lose-lose situation though, or at least that's how it feels, when I am required to perform this function of my job.

Which I think, given the circumstances in which you are in contact with them, is understandable.

Also understandable. I would think the best way to address this is what you are already doing-doing your job and at the same time trying to treat these folks with respect and dignity.
