The English dub for Son Of Godzilla(1967) is actually, IMO, fairly decent.

Some goals, regarding registered members and posting totals for this message board:

-by the end of this year, 2008: 95 registered members/21,800 posts
-by the end of 2009: 105 registered members/30,200 posts
-by the end of 2010: 115 registered members/38,600 posts

These goals are based on some conservative, but I believe attainable, numbers. Hopefully we'll exceed them.

I just installed a "Member Legend" at the bottom of the main index page and also changed a few colors to designate the various member "groups" here. The "members" group I assigned the color yellow.

I'm going to be changing the forum skin back to a more colorful layout which will be either green or blue themed. I would prefer to go with a darker green but there are few forum skins I've come across, thus far, that meet the criteria I'm looking for, so a blue skin may be forthcoming, until I can find a dark(er) green skin I like. When the forum skin changes I will also change the "member group" colors as well.

Pardon the mess. I'm still in the process in changing out the various buttons. The creator of this skin did not include all of the buttons already coded and ready for upload...so I'm having to download them into my computer, "ImageShack" them and then install them in the various "images" brackets of the admin cp.

The "Universe" skin is in place now, for the most part. I decided to use it until I find a green forum skin to my liking. I decided on this skin and not another because this skin had a set of accompanying buttons-the other skin did not.

I am missing several buttons: the "edit" and "delete" buttons were not made by the creator of this forum skin in his button package so I threw together two quickie blue buttons that are marked "delete" and "edit". I'll try and find something that looks a little better sometime this week.

The "topic options" button was also not included in the button set of this skin: it's a text link right now. It works, it's just lacking a button, also something I'll try to rectify early this week.

Some random bits:

The baby is now a month old and is allowed a pacifier since he has fully learned how to eat otherwise. Things are coming along well and everyone thinks he is adorable.

Work is going as usual, not sure if that's good or bad, but since we got a new chief it's gotten slowly worse, with his insistence on various nipicking policies and multiple written incident reports. It feels as though we are very micromanaged as opposed to before.

I've just completed the relatively new Turok title that was released last month for PS3/XBOX 360. I havent had a lot of time to post a video game review lately, but expect one soon for that title. Ive also begun playing Doom, I havent forgotten, so a review of that should come sometime thereafter. Sorry for the lack of regular updates, but life really makes alot of demands on time as I'm sure you all know.

Tell me about it. Thanks for the update regarding your baby boy. I'm glad to hear all is well with your son. I hope your girlfriend is also recovering, through rest and some relaxation(if that's possible). Keep us up to date on your son, Josh, where and when you can. I know this is an exciting and busy time for you.
;) thumbs up

I respect your feelings regarding this skin, Kex. That said telling me "I'm not comfortable at all" with the skin isn't the kind of feedback I can do anything about. Rather than post a generalized disapproval of the "Universe" skin why not be more specific about what skin colors you favor. That kind of feedback is the kind I can take and work with to come up with something everyone here is satisfied with. ;)

But I am a very, very unspecific person.

I just liked the former one better.

I see. Then your criticism of the current skin doesn't leave me really anywhere to go. I do respect your opinions about it and your dislike of it has been noted by me. As always, I'm constantly on the lookout for a skin that everyone here might presumably like.


"KexMex"
 
I just liked the former one better
Understood. That said many opinions I asked for, and received, regarding the former skin, a charcoal brown color, were negative. A recurring opinion I got on the old skin was "lacking in color and personality". It's why I opted for blue.

I've been advertising this message board since October, 2007. In that time I have posted this board's URL for "evaluation" at twelve(12) support/services boards(all supporting Invisionfree sites). In most of these evaluations, the two biggest negative criticisms I've received have concerned the board layout, parts of which I have addressed, and the forum skin. I received a lot of "bad color", "I don't like it", and "just doesn't look right" comments. They're not specific and when I pressed those posting these frustratingly generalized comments I got either no response or more of the same muted, benign and useless verbatim. In order for me to try and improve this board to everyone's liking, I have to have specific complaints. Without them all I can do is "experiment" and tweak the board...and wait for member reaction, good or bad, before trying something else.

I spend at least an hour per day at this message board, on weeknights, and a couple of hours per day on Saturdays and Sundays, performing internet matters that are either directly or indirectly related to this site. Therefore, in my mind, I am completely justified and within reason in asking for specific feedback from the members of this site...when I get a negative comment from a member here. As I said, without specifics Kex, I have to rely on my own judgment, regarding board layout, the banner and other things around here. ;)

Thanks Josh. Obviously I take into account what these "evaluators" have told me but the bottom line is I care a lot more about how the active members of this site feel about it, even if we are small in number. :)

While browsing the pages of joystiq.com recently, I stumbled upon an article exclaiming that their sister site, PS3fanboy, is hiring bloggers and columnists to discuss and post articles on all things video games. As much as I've wanted to make a contribution to the video game community without taking a minimum wage job at Gamestop, I think this could be an opportunity for me and I may submit an application. I would like to write a column, maybe not about video games specifically, but about the phenomena of gaming itself and it's often misunderstood relationship with much of the general public. I'd like to note various aspects of gaming culture, why they exist, and why many people often believe gamers are out of shape, immature, single white males without any kind of social standing or opinion. Maybe my subject matter is shooting over their head a bit, but I figure I'm going to need some powerful subject matter as I'm sure there will be a hefty number of applicants vying for a limited number of positions. I feel I am able to meet most of the demands they ask for, one of them being excellent grammatical skills. Matthew and Lee, what do you think? Do my grammar skills, in your opinion, measure up? Are my reviews in the review thread interesting enough that you think I could write for an official gaming site? Heres a link to the job posting:

I believe your grammar skills measure up just fine, Josh. The question of course is would the person(s) tasked with "hiring" you also feel likewise? And would you meet any specific criteria they have set forth(if any). Can you provide them with links of your reviews here?
I would also be willing to act as a "reference" if need be, as far as whatever value that might be. I would obviously mention the fact you voluntarily submitted these reviews on your own time, and in great detail with accompanying images. Let me know if I can be of any assistance to you, Josh, regarding this "position". I would be glad to help in any way I can. :)

Thanks for the encouragement, and I'm glad to hear you would serve as a reference. About the reviews thread, I dont think I can link it because in the instructions they said they wanted the application to be self contained; basically without attachments and I presume without links. Also because the pics I've used are images I searched on google, they may not want to accept those for legal reasons. However, I do plan on copying and pasting a couple of the reviews, as they said they wanted an example of the applicant's writing skills.

Thanks. I've begun to draft a rough outline for what will basically be a short essay on myself, my relation to games, and what I'd like to write about. While I'm not going to get my expectations up, I will put forth what will hopefully be a great effort.
