LAN Parties / LAN Party issues

« on: September 23, 2004, 02:45:32 PM »

I have a question.

Does anyone think it is a little odd that we would ba able to "hedge" our odds when a drawing is about to happen?

I mean, just before the drawing for the ram was about to take place, Ambush received money for tickets for the drawing. A suggestion in the future, please make rules clear about when we can purchase tickets. For example, let's say I knew the OCZ Ram that was being "given" away was say: $250.00. I could, in theory, break out a hundred dollar bill just before the drawing, and hedge by odds of getting the ram. I felt that was a little questionable as far as ethics. Allowing someone to essentially "buy" up odds right at the moment of the drawing.

Not mad, just my opinion on it.

LAN Parties / Lan Party Rules

HEY ALL!

I have a question

Your rules allow for those who would never come, to place their name in the hat and reserve a spot they potentially will never fill...

Why not make this rule:

There are 100 seats available.

Pre-Pay gets you to the head of the class, so, if you are the 110th sign-up, but you prepay and only 50 have prepaid, then you are BAM! the 51st "Regestered" seat....

Thataway if I want to be there and have the measily 10 bucks that some can't seem to afford, then I actually could get in... Instead, there are those who have taken slots that won't be thewre when (if you allow pre-pay to dominate) you would at leats have the money even if I decided not to show....

Just a thought.

Wanted to post that I have upgraded...

New Box is as follows:

ASUS A7N8X-E Delux MOBO
120 GIG PC 133 Drive (Decided not to go SATA)
1GIG of Corsair Twin 512 XMS PRO Ram Sticks with the Ram usage LED Bridge
XP 2700+ Processor Barton Core.
CoolerMaster Jet7 Turbo Cooler
Saphire ATI 9800 Pro Video Card.

This machine is a rockin piece... Hope I can actually use it...

Also, I have now an ASUS 266E Board if someone is needing one, I will let it go cheap... I also have an ASUS 166-E too.

I have two Audigy sound cards. and 1 Sound Blaster Live Platinum with the front end controller.

Anyhoo. Wanted to brag, but I know ole Boomslang has a box that probably puts all of us to shame. Too bad my moment in the sun lasted only a moment.

Ask the techies! / Home Page in XP

« on: December 06, 2003, 10:58:02 AM »

I have a dumb issue but I can;t seem to figure it out...

I usually set all my PC's home pages to ...Well...
AMBUSHSITE .COM of course...

Anyway, every couple of initiations of Explorer, my home page changes to some search engine, I think it's called ZIPSEARCH?

I keep entering the ambushsite and reset the home page to current and it works a couple of times...

Any suggestions? I am a little new at XP in this area. I have not seen this before..

Whatever / Chat BoX?

Have you ever thought about a chat box, for authorized visitors, or something like that? You could build it on the home page of the forum, and then those who are logged on, could chat online...

Just a suggestion.

By the way----- HI EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!

There is a special place for those originals of the AMBUSH! Clan. Actually just at my feet; not really moving; somewhat decapitated; blood ooooozing; panting, sitting at their keyboards, leaning back on their chairs; sweating; and...

WISHING they were as good as the all empowered ROGUE!

Love to you all!!!

ME.
