this forum software is a DISGRACE to SUN

[Olof Hanell]

bah!

Listen to me!

Don't we use phones even though they are developed by some silly company?

- Yeah, but this i actually sun!(someone claims)

Some years ago(like three or something) I woked at ericson, they actually used Nokia monitors to their computers.

Think of it.

At the bottom line it's always money that makes sense.
If, this forum were written in java(which is highly possible and I think you all agree) would that make it outstanding?

Isn't there any reason to belive that folks would think "yeah, there's another forum like all others"?

I don't care too much. At the bootom line a forum is about sharing knowledge and not the unique/outstanding design of it.

The bad/good thing is that this is the reality, if the one with the money finds a tool that's cheaper than developing a tool that does the same thing, why develop it?

Why does java come with a great packages of classes when you could write all yourself using jni?

Why do you get so happy when finding a package doing the hard work for you easy?

This cgi-stuff may look bad to us, but, do you really think that a forum is some kind of high-end software? I rather accept great quality gfx-handling in java than a bullet-list in my messages!

sod-off!
g'night.
(It still would be nice with this forum using jsp, but, is it worth it?)

(excuse all english errors(if any), I'm a stupied swede you know..)

huh
Which brings me to another point kids -
Dont smoke crack and post  

Chris please lock this topic please  

[markuskidd]

1. Some people can't express themselves as clearly as others in writing.
2. Locking topics should be a serious decision...

Apparently the choice has been made in this particular case of the forum software regardless of whether a Java solution exists, but the discussion/topic is still interesting and pretty relevant if others want to post in it (see my suggestion re: an OT forum, this would be a good candidate for being moved there)

Edit: try writing your post in swedish and ask him how coherent it sounds lol

Games published by our own members! Check 'em out!

OK so lets assume for a moment you dont have a sense of humor.

Re-read the post paying attention not to artistic expression per se, or even the spelling.
It wouldnt make sense in any language, now would it.
I like how the artist struggles with his grasp of reality; you can almost feel his pain as his alter ego takes hold in the end, all becoming clear.

sod-off!
g'night.  

I speak a few languages (maybe not Swedish) but I tell you they never loose that much in the translation.  
As for the topic, its good practice not to complain about the decor when invited into a hosts house.  That again could just be me.

Fair is fair though and etromic if I was rude I am humbly sorry.

[Olof Hanell]

sorry was a bit drunk and lost control Funny people actually read it!

Anyone knows how to get notified on posting in all topics? Like in the old software?

/o

These were laurel wreath for a antique roman night. Man, what an orgy it was !!!
Hum.. we really need an off topic section.  

[defiant]

pepe Hail pepe Hehehe (no toga smiley)

Its good to know that we all have ways of relaxing.

Yeah Markus was not wrong there OT needed (especially for me)

My answer:  Why would I risk studying java for games when  you won't even run the forum and web site on java technology. If java is too cumbersome or unreliable (which is the message you unknowingly send)  to use for a web site then why would I want - take the path less traveled and hope  to make the next generation of games with java.

You're absolutely right. Sun is wrong. Sun should follow the example of other game development sites. Most games are written in C++. That is exactly why other games-programming related www-sites are C++ powered using browser-specific DirectX Plugins, right?
