    not sure why i get this all time 503 Service Unavailable (1371607114)

    I've only been seeing the red screen of death sporadically (I stay logged in at all times), but right now I am trying to upload images to go with a reply that I made to a thread. The thread reply is there, but each time I try to upload the images, I get a red screen of death, ONLY in the little...

    Awkward moments at Baltimore anime convention as art form comes of age

    Haha This thread reminds me of a thread some time ago (on some image board) where an anonymous person posted a drawing of a circle, a rectangle, and a square, and then captioned it "you guys will argue about anything". A sarcastic argument ensued of course (humouring the OP), but then the...

    Awkward moments at Baltimore anime convention as art form comes of age

    No, I don't agree with some of the simpleton sentiment in the article. I'm only posting it because (obviously) it might be of interest to those of you who don't read the daily Washington Post (this was in this morning's paper, but was apparently published on the website two days ago). The...

    ELEnin Dwarf Star WARNING September 26, 2011

    Miho is always relevant Honestly, I thought it was just entertainment. There have definitely been posts worse than the one that initiated this thread, and those posters never lost their privileges. Anyway, some of you might be taking his first post a bit too seriously, perhaps? Note: and...

    Why do guys use girl avatars?

    Nothing strange or nefarious When I first started lurking AO, I noticed that the majority of posters (at least where I was lurking) used their favorite actress/idol as their avatar. So I merely thought that it was the custom here at AO. I then followed suit. I'm not sure that anything...

    In Tokyo, a Crackdown

    Ah, if I had put two and two together, I would have posted this article in the other thread, instead of making a new one.

    Ordering from Amazon.co.jp

    I live in the United States. YesAsia and ebay are the only sites that I've been able to use for shopping (jlist has nothing that I want, and most of the other online stores besides amazon.co.jp don't have English interfaces.) We have 7-11 stores here, but I doubt that they have the same payment...

    Ordering from Amazon.co.jp

    I checked the order status online, and apparently they want me to choose one of their eight different ways, none of which is a regular credit card. (I did type in my credit card information when I originally placed the order, but it hasn't been charged.) They're saying that I have a few days to...

    Ordering from Amazon.co.jp

    I couldn't really figure out where to post this, so I apologise if it's in the wrong section. I placed an order with amazon.co.jp a few minutes ago, and then received an e-mail in Japanese, which translate.google.com rendered as such: Thank you for your order at Amazon.co.jp. The number and...

    [SM-119] [IV] ユリア [Julia] nude fairy

    I've downloaded this AVI from three different sources (torrent, hotfile, megaupload). For me, in several places (e.g. at 00:15 and after 44:20 and 45:45) the video is temporarily corrupt (as when you download 95% of a torrent and start watching it). I want to know if this is just happening to...

    Mistakes

    I posted a thread in Jr. Requests and then had a computer problem and then posted the same thread again by mistake (I hit the "post new thread" button because my browser had never advanced to the next page). I can't figure out how to delete one of the duplicate threads (they're identical, but...

    Miyazaki: iPad Users "Nothing But Chronic Masturbators"

    I might be reading too much into his comments, but I feel that a point to be gleaned from his *attempt* at making a point is that that average person who purchases an iWhatever is hardly being productive with it. Sort of like the (MANY, MANY) people who buy a $500 phone for no other reason than...

    Technical question: Remote computer usage

    You're right; when you said "cache" I was thinking in terms of browser caches, which are generally written to disk.

    Technical question: Remote computer usage

    But where you stated sort of defeats the purpose in the first place. (Emphasis mine.) Illegal content on your computer in any form is illegal, whether it's in the cache, recycle bin, documents folder, or even deleted (if it can be recovered). I sure would hate to be proven wrong, but JI...

    Firefox or Internet explorer?

    CHROME, of course I can't speak for anyone else's system but it runs faster than any of those other browsers on all of my computers.

    [IDed]麻生香月 Kazuki Asou

    So I have no idea who this is; someone posted her in a forum as a "pic unrelated" and he didn't know who it was either. But AO always delivers! Let me know who or where, please. :puzzled: EDIT: Thanks, Ninespiral!

    Freedom of speech is fine, but...

    Free speech The concept of "free speech" precludes government intervention. Akiba-online is not a taxpayer-funded venture, it's a privately-owned and operated entity. If I started ripping and posting DDL and torrent links to episodes of Seinfeld, my posts/threads would be deleted on the...

    Previous Downtime (again, again, again)

    Hardware error Where is that picture from anyway? I like it much more than the "fail whale". It would make a great desktop if it were larger.

    Offending ads on the site

    £ ¥ $ € There is another forum in which I was last year, where a user could pay X dollars and ads would be invisible to that user, while still visible to other users. Sort of a "donation" in exchange for the small favour of not seeing the ads. I don't know if that's possible in this forum...
