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).

Honestly, Matthew, I just cannot understand why there would be any debate. Kong surfaces at the end of the film after the last battle. Godzilla does not. That, in my book, translates to a King Kong victory. shiftyeyes

Unless Godzilla chased him away from underwater :o

I have considered that possibility Kex. Truthfully, I think it's the other way around. Kong probably chased Godzilla away. tongue-1

There haven't been too many things lately that have put a smile on my face. Learning that, despite my industry's(landscaping) slow down due to the extended drought, I wouldn't be laid off was one thing that recently made me feel a little more cheered up.

Then today I received my income tax rebate check from Uncle Sam...[size=7]for $600.00[/size]. I had already finished a two hour side job last night that netted me $50 in quick cash so I'm in a decidedly better mood with an additional $650 to put in my piggy bank this week. groink!

No Corey, I'm going to save it. I've spent too much $ over the last year on things anyway so it's best to put it aside. :)

Are you, out of curiosity, going to revive your message board now? heyo

Ran a 5K this morning that was somewhat interesting because the 3.2 mile course weaved through my own neighborhood. It started in a newly built shopping center, weaved through my neighborhood and ended at the expressway. I did decent, clocking in at 22:08. I brought my dog Hannah who is an excellent runner but she did inadvetently cost me a few seconds when she was got snagged up a bit on her leash in the first mile. She was a bit distracted at the concept of running with 3,000 other people but once the we got out there and hit our stride she fell into step. Overall a good run for many, good exercise and social activity and a good way to raise quite a bit of cash for the special olympics.

I can sympathize with your dog here, Josh.

Well done on the 5k time. When I ran in high school and college, I ran in many 5ks. My best time was 21 minutes flat. Most of the time I ran 5ks in the 22-25 minute range. Your latest run was also, obviously, for a very good cause. thumbs up

Crunching some numbers again and there's no doubt this site is getting busier. For the first four months of 2008 Monsterland Forums accumulated 6637 posts, or 1000 more posts than this site generated for the entire year of 2006.

So far this message board is averaging 1659 posts per month and 54.8 posts per day, for the first four months of this year. The posts per day average is, currently, more than double what this site averaged in per day posts in 2007(which was 25.4).

Advertising for Monsterland Forums continues as always by me, as I try to maintain a "presence" for this site at other message boards, especially those IF support/services boards that offer advertising services and post exchanges.

I have tried, to the best of my ability, to construct a message board that will last, with genre specific topic threads and other forums, like sports and casual chat, that offer some appeal to those not as interested in the main themes of this board. I think Monsterland Forums is built to last. I think this site can eclipse 30,000 posts this year and accrue 5-10 more registered members.

I'm also going to continue to bulk email inactive members every three months with updates to this site.

As KexMex would say...that is all. tongue-1

I think you're right to set a goal. In fact, I believe goal setting would help you gain members/posts at your site, Corey, assuming that is what you want. Be realistic, be patient and be prepared to invest some of your time in order to get your message board's activity on the increase.

Here's a sig you might use for advertising MF at your site:

You may want to consider one with the same colors as the actual site.

Just a thought.

There are two sig images posted in the "Affiliates" topic thread that are copies of our current forum banner, though obviously downsized. I have also posted various images that are different from the current forum skin. I believe it prudent to offer anyone desiring to use a sig to advertise this site a variety of images, and colors. ;)

It almost sounds, Kex, as if you believe a signature image advertising this site is a bad idea. As someone who participates in many support/services boards I can tell you I see other admins at these message boards advertising their own sites using images similar to their site colors...and those that are completely different. tongue-1 tongue-1 tongue-1

I don't think I'll ever figure out how the (Something) you got that idea.

I just feel it much more better to have a picture that fits with the site itself. Having varied colors for that just sounds, to me, like a twisted version of being ethnically correct. Twisted because in this case there's really nobody threatening you by NOT doing it.

I got that impression by your statement, or suggestion, that the colors of an advertising sig image might be better if they match the colors of the skin of this site. That's how.

I see. Well, then on this we are in disagreement.
"KexMex"

I can assure you that my decision to use various colors in these sig images is not because of anything related to race or some other motivation related to a person's ethnicity. Two things factor into the varying colors of these sig images:

1. I need the practice at making them, otherwise I'll never get any better at graphics and I'll tell you something: I need to get better because a lot of the graphics requests I see submitted to support/services boards go completely unfilled. I'd like to get to a point where I can make my own. I invested a sizable chunk of $ into the Photoshop program I have in my computer so I'd like to use it, otherwise, I've just wasted the money.

2. I've seen repeated tutorials by various admins/staffers at these support sites who strongly suggest an eye catching sig, something that gets ones attention, is the way to utilize sig advertising, which is the reason for the variation in colors. There may come a point where I can, technically speaking, make these sigs and adhere more closely to the colors of our current forum skin, and make them look good. I'm not at a point, skill level wise, where I can do that...yet.

"KexMex"
 
Twisted because in this case there's really nobody threatening you by NOT doing it
Nobody threatens me about anything Kex, so my reaction to this statement, respectfully is: very funny

Just trying to explain myself here. Nothing more. :)

My day was a long one. I got home at 4:15 PM and then worked for another 90 minutes in my landlord's yard(cleanup and pruning). She's argumentative and often resists allowing me to do what needs to be done in her yard. My assurances to her that I have been doing this kind of work for over twelve years doesn't seem to have sunk in with her yet.

Here's a little part of Project - Destroy A.I. Alpha.

(If you have played Halo, this story would be easier to understand)

Shows a Troop Carrier Pelican Drop-ship flying across a desert landscape, which seems to go on forever, now shows its passengers, there are five soldiers wearing MJOLNIR Mark VI armour, all of them had the same main colour, which was Sage, they also had the same trim colour, which was Steel, all but one had a Subnova on the shoulder, the one who didnt have the Subnova symbol had a Champion symbol, The name of this Soldier is Team Leader Snipe, his main weapon is the Sniper Rifle, Each one of the other Soldiers had their own main weapon.

The Soldier holding a Battle Rifle: "Sir, how long now till we get to Base 18?"

Snipe: "I Dont Know, the Pilot will announce on the speaker when were close to the base"

The Soldier Holding a Battle Rifle: "Ok... how come you keep your first name private from us?"

Snipe: Sighs "Because I dont feel like telling you guys my first name"

The Soldier Holding a Battle Rifle: "Or because you think we would laugh at your name?"

Snipe: (Sounding a bit annoyed) "No, because I just dont feel like telling you lot my name, this conversation is over Chain"

Chain: "Ok... Say guys, do you think we got enough info about the A.I. we are hunting?"

The Soldier Holding a SMG: "Yes, The General told us enough about it before we left"

The Soldier Holding a Shotgun: "I hope so"

Pilot Talking Through the Speaker: "Were almost there, get ready for landing"

Snipe: "Alright guys, its going to be show time soon"
