The Flood / Re: would you trust an Austrian?

It's true, Austrians are shit at politics.

Just a reminder, California had an Austrian governor for a decade.

Septagon / Sep7agon Logo Design Contest

Logo Design Contest

Okay Cheat, put your money where your mouth is!

Design the NEW Sep7agon logo, and the best ones will be considered by the staff to replace the current version.

Fonts must be Sans-Serif and not too bold.
Lettering is plain white.
Here's the Sep7agon icon, for your photoshopping needs
Here's the current logo for sample
Just FYI: If you win, you will need to give me the PSD or AI source. I'll likely need to tweak them.

Also, plain white text isn't a rule; the text just needs to be clean and readable.

I can assure I have no interest in seeing Isara's boobs (that he doesn't have). If he/she can't take a little banter he should fuck off. And he did. Problem solved.

He didn't do shit for the site and was a boring member with shitty opinions.
Do we know what he did or didn't contribute?
You know how you can't access PMs or any hover menus on mobile? Yeah that.

I can access them just fine. Git gud scrub
I can too (my phone has a stylus with a hover function) but most people can't. Hover menus on mobile are among some of the dumbest design decisions you can make.

It's not even a mobile site. It's just the regular site in a smaller window - you get the same stuff if you go in a small window on a computer.
The header switches to a mobile layout which is what I'm talking about.

Yeah but it's not a 'proper' mobile site.

Regardless it's pretty awful.
SMF uses the old table rendering method, which really, really sucks for responsive design. That said, it's definitely a 'proper' mobile site in the sense that it has viewport meta restrictions and media queries for resizing and rearranging content.

What it is not is "mobile first" which is not ever going to happen with SMF. Once we eventually switch to WordPress / bbPress, it'll be a mobile first website.
How about we never use wordpress ever.

Where were you when DeeJ became Youtube's new community manager?

And once again, I can't stress this enough: Artist's willingly give Apple the rights to sell their tracks like this on iTunes.
Only because of people like you.

3942
It was a trick question. I understand the fact that before iTunes exploded in popularity, you still had to wait for an album in order to get a single on your personal player. Regardless, your answer of an artist releasing it as a single doesn't help your point. I'm not seeing artist after artist losing money in mass over being able to purchase individual tracks. Apple is a middleman, if artists are losing money via people being able to just buy individual tracks they should come up with other alternatives that aren't going to be a hassle for casual individuals such as myself where I don't want to buy a collection and only get my money's worth out of one song.

You really don't know what a single is?
Singles almost always come out before the full album.
Artists choose the song they want you to hear and start selling it early to get people excited about the rest of the album.

3943
And how did you get Singles before iTunes was a thing?

If an artist wants you to buy a single track, they'll release it as a single.
You really don't know what a single is?

3944
How is it degeneracy? If an artist chooses to let you buy individual tracks why is that a problem?

You shouldn't have the option to only buy a fraction of it, it's a practice in degeneracy.

iTunes has to get the rights to sell the song though, so its not like the artists are being robbed by Apple. Fans of the artist will continue buying the album while people who only find one song catchy no longer have to spend money on an entire album only to enjoy 1/10 of it.

And what about foreign music? Should I really have to import an entire CD because my niche music isn't licensed in the US? I still do depending on what it is (Such as the Eva tracks) but I run into the same problem I run with artists here in the US, I'm paying more for less only now it's compounded with import fees.

I'd also argue the music that's being made is the art form, not its distribution.

It's about making sure that artists are properly compensated, and that the art form isn't destroyed.

That's why Prince released CDs as a single track, so people couldn't skip around and only listen to a specific part.

You don't deserve to listen to a song if you didn't get the album.

I don't think Apple should be blamed when those companies refused to adapt to a changing market. iTunes is not the only distributor of single tracks. I would still like my question answered: What sense does it make for me to spend more than eight-ten bucks for an album of an artist that I don't know about when I only want one track?

I literally just said iTunes is evil because it allows people to buy individual songs, how can your counterargument be "it lets me buy individual songs"

It's iTunes' fault that Tower Records and Hastings are out of business,

If you ever buy just one song instead of the whole album, you're a terrible person.

lmao how pretentious can you be

this is like saying you can only watch TV shows seasons at a time

you shouldn't be forced to sit through an entire album of songs you hate just because you like a single one in it
Not every time, but always the first time.

They're a tertiary middleman that robs artists and encourages buying only one song from an album, which is detrimental to art, and cuts even further into the earnings of musicians.

If you're going to pay for music, buy CDs.
I still buy CD's depending on what it is. I bought the physical copy of every FFXIV OST from Square Enix but when it comes to an individual song, it doesn't make sense to buy an entire CD for a single track when I can just get the one song I want for literally a dollar. Also if I'm buying a disc chances are I'm going to just go get from Amazon so I of course also have to pay for shipping and wait for it to come to me whereas I get the song instantly and save significantly more money.

Also I'm pretty sure iTunes strikes a deal with the artist when they put their songs up for sale on their store. Meaning the artist doesn't lose anything from people purchasing their tracks on iTunes.

This is incredibly narrow minded.

You would be right if I hadn't tried it before. But I have and formed this opinion based on my experience. It's chewy, smelly crap.
Yeah, and based on my experience niggers are nasty, smelly, welfare monkeys, but if I say that then I'm a bigot.

If you're in love with somebody to the point that your life revolves around them and you haven't even ever met then you need to kill yourself

js
you shouldn't need to "meet" anybody to fall in love with them

people should just be honest--but just because they're not doesn't mean people aren't allowed to trust each other

and when that trust is broken, it's a terrible terrible thing
lol guys verbatim fell in love with an internet tranny

I mean, you're constantly an insufferable cunt for attention, is wanting to feel pretty the worst thing you could do for it?
this sort of thing can lead to catfishing incidents, which can ruin lives or cause permanent psychological damage

it's unacceptable behavior
If your life was ruined by finding out Isara is a man, then you didn't really have a reason to be alive in the first place.
do you know what catfishing is
