whats with forums?

[NaliWarCow]

Why do my forums look like this? When i loaded the site today, everything was grey. Anybody know why?

[nobody]

that looks like the defualt skin or something.. thats really wierd

[thoriphes]

maybe something's wrong with your eyes, colors look fine to me ;).

[andr.in]

well then there must be something wrong wif my eyes too thor

[thoriphes]

lol, i'm joking, nali, ask your brother.

[andr.in]

check if there are no magnetic objects near the monitor!

[Hawk]

refresh, clear temporary internet folder, delete cookies (oh no!)

maybe its loading a cached version of kirupa :)

i dunno :beam:

[edit]

you were right :!:

[NaliWarCow]

thanks redviper

[kirupa]

Nali, I think it is the latest variation of some virus that I heard about on (where else!) neowin.net. I think you should format your computer....and maybe update your graphics drivers.

EDIT: OOps, didn't realize somebody posted the correct reason :)

Cheers!
Kirupa :rambo:

[Soul]

Kirupa is evil!

[Soul]

The gray version is quite sexy *strokes it*

Can you make any more colour versions Kirupa?

- Soul :s:

[mdipi]

hehe kirupa trying to trick nali into deleting his HD hehe. but wouldnt that button be diff?

[kirupa]

Hey soul,
The gray was just the beginning. There will be orange, green, red, yellow, etc. variations shortly.

Cheers!
Kirupa :asian:

[Soul]

Yay Kirupa! :thumb:

Have a white one for me :sure:

- Soul :s:

[kirupa]

White....hmm, I might give that a try.

[mdipi]

and a red onew for me! oooh ! and a black one! and one that says mdipi.com when i start a thread!

[Soul]

:love:

[eyeinfinitude]

I've been here for about 92347923874093287 years now and I just found out that Nali is Kirupa's brother? :P

[Soul]

No way

[Jubba]

no. Nali is not Kirupa's brother...

[senocular]

but the question remains:
Whos your daddy?

[kirupa]

Hehe, no Nali and I are not brothers electron. Our families were divided a long long long (4x) time ago when his ancestors decided to stay in Europe and mine decided to swim to a South Asia that was more than likely a floating island a few miles north of Australia :)

[mdipi]

really? so you WERE family? well anyway you guys like live in the same town right? (205!

[eyeinfinitude]

aww man...thor had me thinking they were brothers...oh well =)

[thoriphes]

wait, i thought you guys were...what? who started this whole conspiracy anyway? so who exactly is nali anyway?

[kirupa]

...the conspiracy originated with one whose first name starts with a P and whose last name ends in a N. In case you are still stumped, the last name rhymes with Playpen. The first name rhymes with Fill.

[mdipi]

Pill Payhen?

[Voetsjoeba]

Yeah, I saw this too. Didn't do anything about it 'cause it was really beautiful (hinthint :beam: ). Next day, color has returned, but I'm keeping the gray one :)

[kirupa]

Pink is also up now - so is green but green will be modified because I am not too pleased with how it looks. Once everything has been finished and tweaked, I'll make the link to change styles easier to find. Also, I will also provide source files and a color table for anybody interested in creating new styles for the forum =)

Cheers!
Kirupa :smirk:

[mdipi]

overall i like green, took a bit to get used to it, but now i love it! (exept maybe in the main forums)

[Alex]

how can i change the color of mine. im lost.

[mdipi]

I wanna go out! :) indeedy! london is teh scorching! had a major headache being trapped in college yesterday, so I went out to the park...

an art student's work is never done ;)

[Kitiara]

Which college? Whereabouts are you? :)

Questions questions... But I used to live in London for about 6 years (until last year actually) so I know it pretty well... Like to find out where people are. :)

[Soul]

Art student! Run!! :P

[Kitiara]

I was a Computer Science / Dance student. :) We always used to make fun of the people doing Art. :blush: No offense intended Asphalt. :)

[asphaltcowboy]

computer science and dance huh? no comment ;)

i live in enfield (we've had this conv already) but I go to Chelsea College of Art & Design http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=24570 <-- are you coming to visit the exhibition?

I'm sure you'll be able to find a protege in the illustration dept or something;)

[Kitiara]

Sorry, completely forgot I'd asked you already. :sure: Blonde moment there. :)

And I know I did probably the weirdest degree in the world ever... Majored in Comp Sci and Programming, with a minor in Contempory Dance. :P

[asphaltcowboy]

although, i remember... there is a course (can't remember the uni) where you could do a degree in aromotherapy and scuba diving... LOL!

[Soul]

Awesome! I wanna do that :beam:

- Soul :s:

[Kitiara]

So much for the film directing. :P

[Soul]

Underwater film directing! Duhh :P

[asphaltcowboy]

with nice smells! :P

[Kitiara]

Silly me. :sure:

[Soul]

We english always take over these random threads lol :-\ Perhaps we should try for the world again :bad:

- Soul :s:

[asphaltcowboy]

The Empire Strikes Back :rd:

[Kitiara]

A very English takeover... "Excuse me chaps, don't mind if we er... Good good. No, you carry on, don't mind us." :P

[Soul]

We rule! :P

[asphaltcowboy]

"oooooooooh yes!" ;)

[Soul]

*falls off chair* Hehehe! Get ready for a beating now! :P

[asphaltcowboy]

/me runs for cover behind soul's hedge

*waves white flag*

[Kitiara]

No! No more Churchill-isms! :crazy:

As it is I'm tempted to drop the nodding dog on my boss' desk out the bloody window... :evil:

Although that's probably not a good idea with my quarterly review tomorrow... :P

[Soul]

Get out of my bush asphalt! :P

I must drag myself away from kirupa! Got work to do, can you 2 help me get away please? Like insult my manhood or something, that might drive me away! :beam:

- Soul :s:

[Kitiara]

I could never do that. :)

[asphaltcowboy]

but I could! (first hand experience and whatnot) ;)

[asphaltcowboy]

Got work to do, can you 2 help me get away please?lol, yeah, I'm getting MSN Messenger spammed at with the number of people replying to threads and I just can't resist clicking the link! but I really need to get revising for this resit in a mere 4 weeks (not long considering I haven't done any A-level schoolwork for a year!)

[Soul]

Go ahead ;)

[Kitiara]

<b>*Remembers A Level revision*</b> Nightmare... I had so many exams it was untrue. Something stupid like 4 exams per subject and I did 5 subjects... By the end I was a nervous wreck. :sure:

[asphaltcowboy]

5 a-levels?! you weren't a nerd were you? ;)

[Kitiara]

No, just a glutton for punishment. :sure: I did 11 GCSEs too, but the A Levels was the worst...

[Soul]

I'm out of here.. at last! Goodbye my english buddiez *wave* :beam:

- Soul :s:

[Kitiara]

Catch you later. :love:

[JK87]

Here's a summary for all concerned:

- All 3 of you are currently in England.
- All 3 of you are supposed to be working/revising but are chatting on Kirupa instead.
- Kitiara did 11 GCSEs and 5 A-levels (wholy ****! :thumb: ).
- asphalt enjoys the comfort of Soul's "bush".

It's certainly an interesting read for 5 or 6 pages lol :). Oh, and fyi, I should be revising for my GCSEs right now.

[Kitiara]

I also did a computing RSA and an Honours degree. :beam:

Actually, I guess that does make me a nerd. :P

Another Brit though! Hurrah! :P Nice to meet you...

[Soul]

Haha yay, nice summary :thumb:

- Soul :s:

[asphaltcowboy]

w00t! indeed! did I mention one of my favourite bands is bUSH? ;)

[Kitiara]

I like 'Swallowed', personally. :beam:

[asphaltcowboy]

[JK87]

Lol nice to meet you too Kitiara. And thanks Soul. And I have never heard of bUSH and I can guess what Kit is implying via "swallowed" and it sure ain't pretty :P.

I'm not entirely sure what an RSA is but from the other things on your extensive list, I would imagine it takes a lot of work and suffering :).

*on a side note: you guys reply faster than I can type! - I'm using to taking my time and casually posting at my own pace lol.*

[Kitiara]

It <i>so</i> is. :)

But I just loved the innuendo that came with it.

[asphaltcowboy]

*on a side note: you guys reply faster than I can type! - I'm using to taking my time and casually posting at my own pace lol.* We've just got nothing better to do. Work, revision... Nah. :P

[JK87]

/me gets a friend to search for some songs by bUSH.

I'm getting some right now... I'll tell you what I think when I get them :). And work - fair enough. But revision is probably important unless you are god-like when it comes to exams ;).

[asphaltcowboy]

"and I woulda got away with it to if it hadn't been for you pesky kids!"

:)

[Kitiara]

I left all my A-Level revision until the night before. :blush:

Dumb thing to do... How I got through those exams I will never know. :P

I'm getting some right now... I'll tell you what I think when I get them good. make sure you get: swallowed, machinehead, comedown, glycerine, the people that we love, headful of ghosts, etc etc ;)

[Kitiara]

They were a great band, whatever happened to them?

[asphaltcowboy]

right, lunch, neighbours, then work - catch you lot this evening (hopefully not before then! no offence ;))

[JK87]

I'm getting them as we speak (well, type - technically) :). And Kit, I bet you got straight A*s but just won't admit it ;).

asphalt, like Scooby-Doo do we? Good luck with the work but I can't stand neighbours!

[asphaltcowboy]

Originally posted by Kitiara
They were a great band, whatever happened to them? they're still around - I went to see them at brixton, omg they rocked! they released their latest album.. last year? Golden State - classic stuff :)

[Kitiara]

Nope, no A*'s! I'm not <i>that</i> nerdy! :P

I'm off for lunch too... I need food to get me through this afternoon's surfing.

Plus it's so sunny out there, I have to get out and enjoy it. :)

[JK87]

Ok, enjoy the lunch. Man... I wish I was back in Hawaii (your surfing comment reminded me of it but I think you meant inet surfing) - I went there for a week or two before Christmas - and I tried out surfing at Waikiki beach in the afternoon; that was the best!

Although, the scar from the coral reef (very shallow at Waikiki beach once you leave the sand) is a reminder that it can hurt a lot too :D. I learned my lesson after landing badly on the coral :).
