Title: other sites
Post by: Chocofreak13 on February 26, 2011, 05:56:50 PM
what are some of the other sites you guys interact with on a regular basis? :3

besides here (which is likely what i interact with most), i have facebook, gaia (mostly just picking up free items and feeding the fish these days, idk if that counts as "interaction" :\), yahoo (sparingly, oddly enough), and dragoncave. there's also my school's site, but that's work, not lesiure. :\

i also keep some tabs open constantly, such as a few webcomics and stuff i haven't read/watched/downloaded yet.

Some sites I frequent are Finnish, so hardly worth pointing them out here. ._. A few news and radio sites, my favourite ice-hockey team's website, that's pretty much it.

BBC.co.uk for international news, Feministing.com, FB (most of the news feed comes from one single Portuguese person, and typically I don't understand Portuguese at all), six webcomics, and a couple of other forums. ^^ I don't really post anywhere else than here, though.

Finnish team called Ilves (means lynx in English) from Tampere, the city I live in. That's one thing I share with the rest of my family: my father and big brother have been huge fans always and I've inherited that as well. x)

My big brother's followed the NHL as well, and his favourite team I think is Detroit Red Wings. I've never followed that though, so cannot really tell mine.
Title: Re: other sites
Post by: stewartsage on February 27, 2011, 08:38:55 AM
Cool.  I just ask everyone, regardless of nationality or the team's nationality.  Mainly because no one else in my family is really much of a hockey fan.

That seems to be everyone in Europe's favorite team.  Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Title: Re: other sites
Post by: Pitkin on February 27, 2011, 08:45:39 AM
Oh, I have the feeling the Red Wings won the Stanley Cup when my brother was in the critical age or something. xD

I used to go watch quite a lot of games some years back, but since I moved to the western edge of the city, the trip to the ice hall would require taking two buses and walk a bit after as well, so I've stuck to listening to them in the radio. ~.~
Title: Re: other sites
Post by: stewartsage on February 27, 2011, 09:48:41 AM
I've never been to an actual game, I live too far away from any rinks.  Though I do watch just about any match that comes on TV.
Title: Re: other sites
Post by: Pitkin on February 27, 2011, 09:55:38 AM
From what I've heard, the games are a bit more like big events in North America than here with lots more spectators. The ice halls here are quite small: the current one in Tampere only draws something like 7,800 spectators when totally full and I think it's the second or third biggest in the country. Obviously, the size of the country has something to do with it as well. xD

The Tampere ice hall is also the oldest ice hall built in Finland (and according to players has the worst-quality ice in the country), and a replacement for it's been planned already. I'm a bit sad about that still, as I really like the old one. ._.

There are three forums I visit regularly (including this one), two Finnish news sites, BBC's website, couple blogs relevant to my interests, wikipedia and youtube. 4chan I haven't been really visiting nowadays, but I'll mention it since two years ago I spent there hours every day. xP Hmmm... Danbooru, serebii, a certain LGBT community site, some Finnish library sites useful when at work, deviantart, some online clothing stores...

I think those were the most common sites I visit aside from the sites I won't mention here. :p
Title: Re: other sites
Post by: stewartsage on February 27, 2011, 10:28:17 AM
Yeah, the Flyer's current rink can hold about 19,000 I think.  A lot of the WHL games I watch are about that size though, I think.

Sounds like the Red Wing's old rink :/
Title: Re: other sites
Post by: Chocofreak13 on February 27, 2011, 11:33:52 AM
@remillia: what kind of clothing? :3 and why the drop off in 4chan? just don't like it anymore? :\
@pitkin: consider listening to hockey on the radio a warm-up for when you move to france, cause once you move you REALLY won't be about to get to the ice hall. xD
@stew: who's your favourite team? :3
Title: Re: other sites
Post by: Remilia on February 27, 2011, 01:51:31 PM
Well, when it comes to buying clothes online, I mostly try to find some clothes that aren't too mainstream, but hopefully still something I would dare to wear outside (although currently I'm making an exception to this rule because of... well, see the fetish thread :p).

I didn't have anything to do back then (or was just too bored of everything to have any motivation of doing something useful), so my days consisted mostly of playing Touhou and pressing F5 on 4chan when I wasn't playing. Now that I haven't been unemployed and have plenty of other things to do, I just haven't had time for that site and I'm quite okay with this (okay, I admit that I'd like to have less working hours and more spare time per week).
Title: Re: other sites
Post by: Pitkin on February 27, 2011, 01:58:29 PM
@Choco, I definitely do. x) It won't change much however, as this season for example I've seen only one game, and last season as well. The change will be quite minimum in France at the end, as I still can resort to internet radios. ^.^

My favourite hockey team is the Bruins .w.

The team I support in Finland copied the Boston Bruins' jersey design for a couple of seasons here some years ago: typically one of those seasons they finished last in the league (and last season they did it again, finishing last -.-).
Title: Re: other sites
Post by: Chocofreak13 on February 28, 2011, 01:05:14 PM
it made me upset when another team copied the bruins' outfits, right down to the logo. i forget what team they were, but i know they weren't from around here. thankfully i don't think they were major-league.

i suppose this fits into the catagory of the thread: my favourite file uploading service is megaupload. i haven't really gotten any popups from there, and the only limits on downloads is a 40 second wait and 1 download at a time. :3

@choco:  Stumble is awesome! You get to set up your interests for things you like (anime, military, comedy, photography, drawing, flash games, music, etc), and then you get a plugin for your browser...  Then, you click the button and it'll give you a random website/image/video related to some of your interests.  Then you can like/dislike it, send it to friends who have Stumble, etc... It's easy to waste hours from the sheer variety :p

A lot of teams have the Bruins logos, for example Providence (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Providence_Bruins).  They're usually farm teams.

even so, it still annoys me a bit. you don't see people copying logos in other sports >__<

Fedora-Tan's new website: blackdiam.net (http://blackdiam.net) - not much activity there yet, and we don't know exactly what'll happen there at the end (he's planning a possible online game), but I wanted to mention it here. ^.^ The few users there so far are all from his older website, myself included.

Fedora-Tan's possibly planning to make a semi-cooperative political (or so) game set in some fantasy world. Terrible answer yes, but I don't really know many details and I think the idea's not totally ready yet, so I can't really give any better answer than that. x.x So far he's been very happy with every new member registered, as the forum's meant for gathering the members from some of his other sites together, and also because it's proven hard to attract much attention with a totally new site.

Aside from here, which I've recently returned to after nearly 2 years of hibernation, I also frequent these sites:

- GameFAQs (Although, not as much as I used to)
- Digital Press (I've been on their message boards since 2004, and still regularly post)
- Facebook (Mostly to keep track of my family)
- ThatGuyWithTheGlasses (I'm always there for new episodes of Nostalgia Critic, Atop the Fourth Wall, and Bad Movie Beatdown)
- Accursed Farms (Checking for new episodes of Freeman's Mind)
