@mario0318's signature includes some statements supposedly made by naturalist and media presenter David Attenborough in a nature documentary, to which I responded to in the MiX FAQ thread, and which @J.Michael brought over here.

I don’t think it is a fully accurate quote. The writing style is very similar to that used in Attenborough’s nature documentaries, in fact the format and grammar is formulaic in its similarity and the first and last sentences seem real, but even though Attenborough can sometimes be abstract or poetic (and or sexist) especially in descriptions of domestic or mating behavior, the middle two sentences go beyond rational science, and are more flowery than even Sir A. tends to get, and I cannot find any reference to unique strings of text from the "quote" on line. So, IMO not an accurate quote. I’d be interested in seeing proof of its validity or hearing why such an imaginative fiction was written. Meanwhile here’s a genuine and verifiable quote, which has long been one of my favorites, about a small herd of female Wild Asses encountering a male Wild Ass at a watering hole.
“Female Asses are mysterious creatures. They come and go as they please, and much of their behavior seems unfathomable to an outsider.” D. Attenborough.

I just have to share. This site is hilarious. I joined in over a year ago and I've been entertained since. It's a social network full of trailer trash, nasty ass girls, and just plain social rejects. It's worth a cheap laugh.
Don't believe me? Here's my small collection of laughables...

That's a totally different story.
If anyone wants to join in on the fun, go to http://www.fubar.com and register.
Then once you're all set and set up things the way you want (or don't), across the top menu bar, below the scrolling pictures, there's a FUN & GAMES category. In that drop-down menu, there's a selection called BORED?; pick that one. It's basically a "hot or not" type deal with the ability to rate 1 through 10 cherries. Apparently it's an unwritten rule to rate everyone a 10 no matter what they look like, but wait until you see the reaction from people when you rate them exactly what they should be. This, my friends, it's truly entertaining.
And if you thought the above pictures were bad/funny, there's tons of worse ones out there, I just have been blocked by those people so I can't get access to their pictures anymore.
PS - To keep yourself continuously interested in the entertainment value of the site, you will see SOME pretty hot people on there. It's nowhere near a healthy proportion, but some of these chicks are HOTTTTT.
National sea monkey day is in a little less than 2 days. I figured to myself, why celebrate then?.... When we can celebrate today!

So I have been looking around and many are using the word trolling extensively. I still have no real definition on what it means to be trolling. So does anyone around here have a "dictionary" definition on trolling?
Thanks

Basically it's starting a post or response for no other reason except to elicit a negative response. See also Attention Whore with Mommy/Daddy issues and too much time.
LOOOOl, roflcopter!! OP doesn't know what trolling is

THAT was trolling
I hope you aren't trolling us.
POST 600!!! WOOHOO
Nope. Not trolling. Just want a dictionary definition on what trolling is as people use it so freely and as far as I can tell never been defined on what is actually is. Hence my question if someone can provide a dictionary definition of the word.

I can only see the general search for the whole forum. Man, this material look forums are adopting are so fugly. No texture, no lines, just pure fugly. Harder to navigate also. It's not a matter of me not liking change, it's just ugly. Why do forums have this need to do this? I don't even come here anymore since the changes.
Anyway, is "Advanced search" the only way to search the forum you are actually in now??
Har, I use dead reckoning... this be a pirate site.

Nope. When you click in the "Search..." text input box, there is a dropdown list right below it, where you can define the scope of your search, i.e. where you want the search to happen. Just select "This forum" in there and the search will lookup your keyword(s) in the forum you are in. See the screenshot below for reference:

Drop down and hidden menus make fools of us all. I'm always forgetting which menus go where here. Some of the layout here isn't intuitive at all... Eventually you'll run across the bounty if you keep going, har
