Yeah, it is $585 a month for the two of us, but I need to make a security deposit of the same, too. So I need to pay $1170 the first month x.x But yeah, NYC apartment prices would be terrifying D: And if I get the GSoC thing, I can be a programmer over the summer and it will look good on a resume when I apply for other jobs :)
$585 a month for two people? Aaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahaha.
Haha.
Ha.

THat makes me happy I do not live in a very big city. As much as I like the crowded Old Quebec City area during Summer, I much prefer paying $614 per month ($70 for electricity) split in half with my bro in an area with decent city bus service and no car license plates/gas/repair spendings and close to everything so that I do not have to use the bus everytime.

In Quebec City proper, there are some appartments with similar prices as where I live, but you're either far from downtown or you end up living in a 100 years old building that falls apart.

@HOMER-16 the requirement from the days I was still admin were to always keep your 30 day posting average equal or higher to 10 (or 5 during Summer), outside the spam/humor/intro sections, but seeing how Michael_Lee, Yunhua98 and z80man got away with it for months now, maybe it changed. Also you need to have a project upon joining (it can be computer, calcs or music, although one of the first two is recommended).

Seeing your recent activity you would be far above the requirements, unless you planned to get less active for the next few months.

I am curious what is it, so it would be nice if you made a topic at one point. Just make sure to not kill your other projects or start too many though, yeong. :P *cough*ROL3*cough*
I don't think I have too much projects going on. Let me see. ROL3, ASCII world (contest), secret project...
Well, that's 3 already. D:

BTW, I haven't had any progress on any because I had to study my butt out for the AP Stat exam. D:
If some matter keep gets onto me, I might just drop the TI-Concours.

Well, for ROL3 (since DJ_O tends to troll(?) me with that topic much :P), I'm getting the map data down. And for the storyline, I'll have to replay the original soon. O.O  on real calc.

On a real calc... that will be hectic X.x. As for your activity and projhects you would be more than fine, although the issue might be July and August, when you typically become inactive for a while. You would have to warn in advance everytime you plan to leave for Korea or something.

Well, I've already done it once. :P
Also, for the same reason, I might miss the omni contest again. D:

I'll only become more active during the summer or at least remain at the same level of lurking. ;) I think if we do start to branch out towards computer development more, I'll definitely be very active there.

Spoiler For IMPORTANT NEWS!:
Late last night, Quebec was invaded by a group calling themselves, "Omnimaga". Not much is known about these mysterious people except that they all carried calculators of some kind and they all seemed to converge on one house in particular. Experts estimate that the combined power of their fabled calculators is greater than all the worlds super computers put together. The group seems to be holding out in the home of a certain DJ_O, who the Omnimagians claim to be their founder. Such power has put the world at a standstill with everyone waiting to see what the Omnimagians will do...

Wait... This just in, the Omnimagians have sent the UN a list of demands that must be met or else the world will be "submitted to the wrath of Netham45's Lobster Army". Such demands include >9001 crates of peanuts, sacrificial blue lobsters, and a wide assortment of cherry flavored items. With such computing power stored in the hands of such people, we can only hope these demands are met.

In the wake of these events, we can only ask, Why? Why do these people make these demands, what caused them to gather, and what are their future plans...

Well we already branched out more. :P We can't really go further than an entire computer sub-section, because then if 50% of the entire Omnimaga board is computer-related or if we start posting lots of computer news, Omni would lose its calc gaming focus too much (kinda like Cemetech in 2005-09 when about 90% of their discussions and news were not calc-related). Not that having non-calc stuff is bad, but there are just too few active calc sites anymore nowadays, so having at least one or two that focuses mainly on calcs with a bit of other stuff too is good.

Ah, that's true. Didn't of it like that, lol.

I just want to see the computer sections become more active really. Most of my posts beyond Spam, Humor/Jokes, and Misc are in Computer Projects and Ideas :P

And my most popular board by activity is Computer C and C++ Help <.<

This is why I encourage people who need help on programming to also ask here, in  case someone can help them. Same for announcing projects. Also comment on other people projects to encourage them. :D

Also just so people keep in mind, Spam has been hidden to members under a certain post count for ages. I'm betting the members that liked it a lot and mainly used that board probably reduced their activity a lot too, although the good thing I guess is that it increased our Quality>Quantity ratio, which was rather bad on the old board. :P

Also don't use spam now since it takes a long while to load anyway (unless you just click topics from the new posts section)

Actually, I don't think you can access the spam board currently at all. Maybe it has exceeded the 10% total post limit (O.O), no posts are in latest posts and "Spam" didn't come up in the Most Popular Boards By Posts in statPanel.

Nah, it was disabled because for some reasons, its first page of topic has the same effect as if you would run Crysis maxed out on the server.

Also according to Qwerty last night on IRC, if people apply for staff they end up on a list. However, there doesn't seem to be any plan for hiring for the time being since there's other stuff to do before. I hope this is not another Void P or TI French Team scenario where they decided to stick with the current group of staff until the very end, until the entire staff is depleted, though, because it has been over a year since the last CoT hiring run occured and they used to occur every 6 month or so...

Also the closing of TIMGUL might possible bring some new musicians in, although it is not guaranteed. For that to happen Netham45 would need to send his db backup to juju anyway (or if that fails, I can send one, although it's much older)

I think the staff are just focused on fixing the server, since half the site broke with the move. Once all of this is fixed (and maybe even optimized), I think they'll have enough time to begin a hiring session. ;)

I wonder if the staff hiring/changing needs to go to the Anti-Riot Squad too, since half of them are currently inactive when I last checked?

And is it confirmed that TIMGUL is definitely closing down? ;(

The old forums did. The domain name http://mtv-music-generator.com now currently redirects to Omnimaga's music section.
