Why are newbies forced to spell check? Why not just force all members to spell check, or none at all? I mean why force the newbies, they're just newbies.

What do you think about trivia competitions in general? 

Not as many posts to reply to this time, I'm surprised.


AliciaBlood : It's not normal for the Vizzed RGR Plugin to stop working for no reason. You'll want to contact the RGR Staff about that issue and they'll help you find a solution.


greenluigi : We're over half way to 1 million users so I guess my reaction wouldn't be that big. It will be awesome though once we hit that amount. I'd be more excited though if a lot of those users used the site each day. Only a very small percentage of the total registered users of the site use the site each month.


mariosonic123 : The Interactive Minecraft map on vizzed should be working now.


greenluigi : When my first child was born, it was a very unique experience. You're basically meeting someone for the first time that you've been waiting to meet for 9 months. It was a great experience though, even if the labor process and the 9 month pregnancy process weren't lol.


Barathemos : The next big Vizzed milestone will probably be 100,000 threads. We're at 92,209 threads right now so we're getting close. The site is currently averaging around 20 new threads per a day so at that rate, we'll reach the 100,000 thread milestone in around 390 days. So toward the end of next summer is when we'll probably hit that milestone.

I can't think of any other big milestones that we're approaching that would come sooner than that.


Sauron422416 : I wouldn't really call Vizzed "infamous" but it is amazing. The next big feature is a huge site redesign. I don't want to talk too much about it, especially since I plan to make a thread about it soon but I can say that I'll be in the process of migrating the entire site to the new design over the next few weeks. I can also say that I've got about 120+ hours into it and I think I'll have around 200 hours into it by the time I'm done.

Keep your eyes open for a thread regarding it for more details.


PacmanandMariofan : My daughter Naomi is 4 years old but will turn 5 in about 2 months. My son Dauntez recently turned 3.


Jordanv78 : Lately I've only been playing games while I work out on my exercise bike since I've been too busy to justify playing games any other time. The games I've been playing a lot lately though while doing that include:
-Halo the Master Chief Collection (XB1)
-Geometry Wars 3 (XB1)
-Boom Boom Rocket (X360)
-Cloudberry Kingdom (X360)
-Sonic All-Stars Racing Transformed (X360)

These days I've only been able to get less than 10 hours worth of gaming in per a week. Actually I have been playing Minecraft a few hours a week as well, forgot about that. It's usually a game I play for maybe 30-60 minutes before going to bed after a long day of working because it helps me take my mind off of the site which helps me sleep a little better.


sonicmcmuffin : I'm assuming you're talking about power levels. I don't think I'll be adding any more ranks since that would require me to have to adjust all of the IDs of all the ranks which would also mean I'd have to update and modify every page of the site that refers to a user's rank. It's too much work, especially since there really aren't any more ranks the site needs.


hyperknuckles : There'd be too many legal issues and technical issues with adding modern games to the Retro Game Room.


mrfe : I still see myself working on vizzed full time 10 years from now but that' assuming the site is still able to generate enough revenue for me to justify it. If not, I'd still continue to work on vizzed 10 years from now but not full time if the site's revenue keeps dropping. Same with 20 years from now.

I don't really have any big summer plans this year. In fact, I haven't even enjoyed my summer yet, I've been outside probably less than 3 hours since summer started due to all the work I've been having to invest into vizzed over the past few months. My wife and I have our wedding anniversary in about 1 1/2 weeks and we plan to go see a movie and go out to eat but we're not sure of which movie yet. I also have my 30th birthday coming up this month and my wife and I plan to go biking on a 20-40 mile long trail that I've been wanting to get back on for the past 2 years now.


mohammedroxx3 : I actually plan to completely recreate the Photo Album feature from the ground up eventually. When I do, I'll add many more features, 1 of those features including the ability to delete pictures.


cnw64 : I don't currently have any video game posters on my walls.


PacmanandMariofan : I plan to go for the Yellow Jersey someday but it's probably one of the hardest Jerseys to compete in so it'd have to be a month where I don't have as much stuff going on. My goal is to earn every Overall Jersey and so far the only Overall Jersey I've earned in the Red Jersey which I earned in the Autumn 2014 TdV.


Barathemos : My daughter has built some pretty neat things in Minecraft but keep in mind that she's only 4 so it's not going to be anything at the level of an adult. She's been able to build some basic houses and various objects like numbers and letters.


Jordanv78 : The most important RGR Plugin update at the moment is getting full Google Chrome support. That requires having to restructure parts of the RGR Plugin from the ground up with PPAPI. Currently the plugin uses NPAPI but Google Chrome no longer supports it by default and is going to eliminate NPAPI support completely by September.


greenluigi : If I was to retire, one of my kids would probably replace me. I'd rather keep vizzed in my family rather than pass it on to someone I don't know who may take vizzed in the wrong direction.


Bintsy : I'm not sure how I forgot to add you, sorry about that. Added.


rainbowfactory : It's a good way to get them into the habit of checking the quality of their posts.


thing1 : Depends on what trivia competition you're talking about.

If you've ever been on vacation before, where have you taken a vacation at? Was it by yourself, with family, with friends, or anyone else?

PacmanandMariofan : I've never been on a real vacation but if spending the night somewhere that isn't near where you live is considered a vacation then I have been on vacation twice and both times were to Duluth Minnesota which is about 4 hours from where I live. Both times were with my wife (girlfriend at the time) and her parents.

I'd like to go on vacation again someday but I've pretty much been too poor my entire life to every afford to go on vacation anywhere.

Were there any moments where you were considering shutting down the site?

The Tour de Vizzed must bring an increase in revenue to your site with all the extra activity. But, how much extra revenue does it bring in on average? 

Kyana : There have been a few times throughout the history of vizzed where the thought of shutting down the site crossed my mind.

One of the times was when vizzed was undergoing weeks worth of DDoS attacks and I thought for sure there was nothing I'd ever be able to do to stop them. That was a horrible time and was rough on my health because I literally investing 90+ hours into the site a week which left me almost no time to spend with my daughter who was only a few months old at the time.

Throughout 2007 the thought crossed my mind due to the lack of posts. We'd go through phases where we'd average 0-1 posts per a day and this happened a lot through that year.


thing1 : The extra traffic and revenue is long term so I can't say how much extra revenue and traffic it brings in. It could take months or even years before I see the increase.

Davideo7 : Might as well ask and make sure, did you send out the 2DS?

Well, I meant something along the lines of all the extra views the site gets due to the increased activity. If you make $2500 a month on average, how much extra do you make during the Tour de Vizzed months with all the extra page views due the increase in site activity thanks to users doing things to try to earn points. 

zanderlex : Not yet but I'll send it out tomorrow.

thing1 : It can also takes months or even years to see a noticeable increase in views from the TdV competitions. It can take a while for search engines to index the content that the TdV provides the site. It's really hard to know how much a TdV increases revenue and it isn't nearly as much as you might think. A single TdV might increase the site's revenue by $10 a month but it's really really hard to say. I would look into it but it'd take a long time to figure it out.

Thanks David ~ I figured you were just busy or like you said you forgot xP - I enjoy being part of the staff though.

I can't remember if you said you ever had another job before vizzed , did you? 

$10? Wow. I would have expected 5 to 10% increase. 
If this was the case, would you consider having 2 more competitions, held every 3rd month like you do the TdV? 

David i am a active streamer once a day i wish you would give me a shot to broadcast on vizzed twitch so i am asking you that

I'm not sure if anyone's asked this one yet, but do you own a Wii U and if not, are you planning to buy one in the future?

Davideo7 : will you Put more consoles in the game room like the PS2 and original Xbox 

Davideo7 What is the first game you ever played when youre a kid

Alright, so I have a dilemma.

I have absolutely NO idea how you coded the profiles, so I can't add any CSS that could effectively change the background color from transparent blue to transparent grey.

Is there any chance you can help me with this, when you're not busy? Everyone else who's good with profile coding hasn't done it yet either. I can do something similar but the color I change it to mixes with the blue.

I need help with full screen.  I can watch youtube and other videos in full screen but when I try to play one of the sites games or my emulator in full screen, it just flashes ever 2 seconds or so and won't do anything else.  Do you know how I can fix it?  I had a toshiba but it crashed 2 months ago and now I have an HP Flyer Red with Windows 8.1

Also I just found this thread about 20 minutes ago and was reading it a little and I noticed you have a daughter.  How old is she now?  Is she in school?  I'm only 22 myself and have no kids but I consider my little cousins my world.  I don't get to see them much cuz I have no car and no job to get one but I hope that changes soon.  I had an interview sunday but no call back but I know I'll get a job here soon I think.  When I do I can see my cousins more and hopefully find whatever is missing from my life lol.  Sorry for rambling asking you that one little question got me thinking and I have been typing what pops in my head.  Last question though.  Does the site still take up alot of your time or are you able to spend more time with your daughter?     

Can you take care if this when you have a chance?
