Hell yeah I recommend my friends here...

Few of them post, they just read the stuff we talk about.

Quote from: XIXAXWe're geeky about it, but some of the inside jokes here are pretty funny stuff.

I don't know if this was in response to what I said, but I'll make it more clear

It's not the BOARD inside jokes that I think are lame, it's like when Reinhold said to Walrus, "don't go swimming in any more ponds" (btw, I know you were joking, it's just an example).  If it weren't a joke, it'd just fall flat and then Walrus (if it were serious) would respond with something like "well don't eat any more sushi" or whatever.  Anyway, I've seen it happen on other boards and I just thought it was lame.  That's what I meant
I like to hug dogs

I know what you mean, but you've had your fair share of fucking sushi.

...if you know what I mean.

This question is almost impossible to answere but...

is XIXAX the most alive film forum/community on the net?

I believe so. Nowhere have I found a forum where people know each other as well as here.

ok, fine...here's the answer.

The answer is 10.

If the spider started at a corner diagonally on the same face as the ant the answer would be 9, and if the spider started at an adjacent corner the answer would be 7.

Here are answers for other figures:

Square: 4
Octahedron: 6
Dodecahedron: 35
Icosahedon: 15

Let x=number of turns to reach ant from starting point.
Let y=number of turns to reach ant from diagonal corner on same face as ant.
Let z=number of turns to reach ant from an adjacent corner to ant.

After one turn the spider will be on a diagonal corner of a common face as the ant. So the mean number of turns from the x position is one more than the mean number from the y position:

E(x)=1+E(y).

Once at a y position there is a 2/3 chance it will then move to a z position, and a 1/3 chance back to an x position:

E(y)=(2/3)*(1+E(z))+(1/3)*(1+E(x)).

If the spider arrives at a z position there is a 1/3 chance it will move to the ant, and a 2/3 chance it will move back to a y position:

E(z)=(1/3)*1+(2/3)*(1+E(y)).

With these three equations and three unknowns it is not difficult to solve for E(x), E(y), and E(z).

Quote from: kotteDo you recommend Xixax to your friends and direct people from other forums here?

Or do feel kinda reserved about it, like 'it's yours'?

Phil told me about the C&C-board, but as some of you might know, Phil is my gay lover. So we pretty much share everything....

yeah... :) Had a couple of cool homo insults but you know how it is...still kinda touchy...

As a side note:
Do you know there are organisations working for a legalisation of pedophilia? They claim this is a sexual orientation as much as homosexuality.
As long as the child wants it and no abuse is involved, it should be legal.
Child pornography was legal in Sweden up 'till the 70s...before that you could rent films like 'The Dada-doer' etc...Crazy fucked up world.

Quote from: XIXAXMetroshane has some valid points. Thoughts like his go through my mind constantly. I always wonder how we can include more people (not seeming "elitist") while still having a good time amongst ourselves. I mean, let's face it. We're geeky about it, but some of the inside jokes here are pretty funny stuff.

I hope you hang out long enough to be come one of the clique, Metroshane. Then again, that's basically my wish for everyone here.
Take it from me, every message board is going to have a pecking order of sorts.  It's inevitable.  Best way to keep everyone, including your own self, in check is to just respect everyone.  If everyone does that, there won't be a problem.

And I don't think I'd show this place to any of my friends, even film friends.  It's like an escape from well ... whatever else is going on.

There's also a group of people who wanna make it legal to marry and sleep with dogs. Awesome. Let the personal rights floodgates open...
Those who say that the totalitarian state of the Soviet Union was not "real" Marxism also cannot admit that one simple feature of Marxism makes totalitarianism necessary:  the rejection of civil society. Since civil society is the sphere of private activity, its abolition and replacement by political society means that nothing private remains. That is already the essence of totalitarianism; and the moralistic practice of the trendy Left, which regards everything as political and sometimes reveals its hostility to free speech, does nothing to contradict this implication.

When those who hated capital and consumption (and Jews) in the 20th century murdered some hundred million people, and the poster children for the struggle against international capitalism and America are now fanatical Islamic terrorists, this puts recent enthusiasts in an awkward position. Most of them are too dense and shameless to appreciate it, and far too many are taken in by the moralistic and paternalistic rhetoric of the Left.
