Now this, is a mystery.....
 

So I wake up this morning, and again, I forgot to put my TP on charg, no sweat, I have a backup battery. I insert the fully charged batter, power up, only to noticice, all my games are gone, as well as a few programs. my documents are still there, thank God.

wtf happened to my stuff? i know i can just dl it all and reinstall, but it still leaves me curious. i dont think i was THAT drunk, LOL.

Re: Now this, is a mystery.....
 

Check with the goldfish, theyre sneaky! lol sry not wasting a post. but idk that is quite weird. Maybe a hard reset would solve it if it keeps happening.

Re: Now this, is a mystery.....
 

Was the stuff that's gone on your storage card??

Re: Now this, is a mystery.....
 

what rom? I've heard of some roms having issues where users would get random hard resets. I believe it was Juicy 6 among others that would do this.

Re: Now this, is a mystery.....
 

:headbang:If you don't mind, please remove the quote from devils rejects as it is alittle offensive especially with the "gd" word in it. After all young people use this site to. So please remove.I respect freedom of speech and religion but also respect my freedom not tto wantt things like quotes from devils rejects on these sites.

Re: Now this, is a mystery.....
 

Although it is not offensive to me at all, I never quite understoood the point of a sig like this that has absolutely NOTHING to do with PPC's.

I blocked all the sigs from showing in my preferences at least a year ago (you should probably do the same) because of stupid stuff like this........

Re: Now this, is a mystery.....
 

then he wouldn't see his own bloated religious sig which could be offensive in its own right. From my stand point. it' a pot-kettle-black issue. Now back to tthe regularly scheduled thread.

Maybe it's a problem with the stsrt menu shortcut? I had a similar problem years ago where a folder in start menu was corrupted and didn't show up in the menu.

Re: Now this, is a mystery.....
 

Not to start a war, but just as much as you don't like his sig, I care nothing for yours. It does go both ways. But as John says, just block the sigs.

Re: Now this, is a mystery.....
 

Everyone has different opinions...now as far as this problem goes, I had a problem like this before where my storage card got corupted somehow. I reformatted the card and put everything back on it and then I was good to go.

Re: Now this, is a mystery.....
 

Sounds to me like your backup battery is bad. This is the battery that stores your BIOS info (like Time) between batteries or a hard reset, but I could be wrong.

Something seems to be causing a half hard reset or sorts.

Re: Now this, is a mystery.....
 

:headbang:Point taken but for your pastafarian view point it has nothing to do with look or size of sig just the use of the "gd" word that is the offensive part but if that is what you prefer to see fine. I've seen war and destruction with 10 years oversea's in spec ops defending your freedoms so I guess that is silly of me to expect any respect of my freedoms.

Re: Now this, is a mystery.....
 

If you dislike something you don't have to read it.

If you can have your signature, he can have his. Either everybody can express themself or nobody can express themself.

And if you've served in spec ops for 10 years you should be aware that there are far worse things in the world than a word you dislike.

Re: Now this, is a mystery.....
 

I agree. Just set your profile to block all sigs, problem solved.

It makes the site load three times faster also, so it's a win all the way around (you don't have to look at stupid flash sigs that have nothing to do with PPC's (neither does that annoying religious sig) & you don't have to wait for them to load)

Re: Now this, is a mystery.....
 

:headbang:Ok, I removed the so called "annoying" religious sig so you don't have to see that does that satisfy you? But I will not remove my beliefs or attitude. Like you say if you don't like it don' t read it. Man it is really surprising how easy it is to provoke someone. Sorry guys I do have to apologize to all. I really don't care what you put up to an extent. If I think it iss offensive yes I will voice my opinion, but that is all it is. I will not ever try to force my beliefs or religion onto anyone. I do apologize for insticating anything, and getting off topic. For that I apologize.

Re: Now this, is a mystery.....
 

I really shouldn't wade into this deeper but....

I never said I was offended, I said it might be viewed as offensive to some. For the record, I don't care about your sig at all. YOU opened up this can of worms when you claimed offense and now you want to play the victim? Cry me a river! If you have served, thank you. BUT your need to bring that fact into the conversation as if it makes you more worthy of displaying your ideas over someone else is something I do find offensive!

Now I'm getting out of this pool before someone pee's in the water.

Re: Now this, is a mystery.....
 

:headbang:WOW. Brilliant! =D>
Nevermind the fact that he has to.. oh wait.. READ IT to know if it's something he doesn't like. :silent:


Next time I have a question I'll just PM you, you seem like the brightest bulb here!:mrgreen:

Re: Now this, is a mystery.....
 

No matter what any moron might say, by definition it is *NOT POSSIBLE* to force a belief on someone. Don't try to befriend, appease, "satisfy", etc. anyone who tries to make you think otherwise. Their only purpose for you is for their own means. Put your religious sig back my friend.

Also as vulgarity is automatically filtered out by this forum, you might want to PM a mod or someone who has control over that and inform them that there may be a word or two that needs to be added to the filter.

Re: Now this, is a mystery.....
 

if uou find that offensive, or anyo e elses sig or avatar for that matter, you can coose, in your optio s, not to view others avatars or sig. but, out of respect for those who find it offensive, I have removed it. frankly, I do find itpretty lame. Simply don't look at it, is my opinion. besides all that, i removed it to elliminate controversy. It took alot for me to do that, since I usually stand for freedom of speach.

Re: Now this, is a mystery.....
 

Hello, this is a topic that bothers me greatly.

I don't like how our country has become so quick to be offended over something that they don't need to look at or read or listen to. I am not picking on anyone here because I don't even see the sig. anymore, but I am saying it in general. Since when has our country became so lame and have no back bone. If we have a song on the radio and someone calls in saying that this song offends them, bam its off. Yet, the other listeners that liked it, can't hear it anymore unless they buy it. So, this one person ruins it for many more masses. Which, since when has our country became someone that goes by the minorities. Don't we elect a president by the majority of votes, not the minority of the votes. This should be the same way for public speech, television and radio. They all have means of being turned off and ignored.

If one person doesn't like it, why should the rest suffer.

Re: Now this, is a mystery.....
 

I wouldn't have. Just because someone doesn't agree with what you are saying doesn't mean you should stop saying it.

I mean, that's even how Christianity started.. people didn't like what Judism was preaching so rather than stopping what they were saying, they did their own thing.


(I bring up Christianity because that's what really sparked this garbage martyr posting train)

Re: Now this, is a mystery.....
 

For better or worse, that is how this country 'protects' itself from offensive things.

And no, the last two loosing presidents had the most actual votes.

I nearly always view from my titan, so I haven't seen the sigs in this or any other post, but the long and short is - we have a wide variety of people here and I would hope that we as users could keep the profain and offensive off the site by our own choices.

Saying that you don't have to read it is a cop-out. This is a forum - people read in a form - there is really no other way to fully utilize a forum except to read it.

IF I punched you in the face and you said; hey knock it off I don't like that. Would it really work to say; hey if you don't like it you don't have to stand there?

There are unwritten rules called morays - they basicly are the unwritten personal laws of life today - while they are not punishable by law - they are generally shunned by most people.

There is no law against walking down a street in Sturgis, WI with a t-shirt that says "all bikers are big gay fags and should have a brick stuffed where the sun don't shine" yet if you choose to do so the morays dictate that someone would ask you (most likely not very nicely) to take it off (i.e. stop displaying that offensive stuff) and I'm guessing you would remove it. If not and you chose to stand up for freedom of all speech, you might be left a bit... speechless.

The above is an example of a moray in action, and to a much lesser degree so is this thread.

When it comes down to it this is actually a private forum and Mike has the final say. Yet this is also a community and standard morays apply - more people find "gd" offensive than a christian statement, that doesn't make one right and one wrong, however one will draw more fire than the other. If someone chooses to display there freedom of speech that goes against common morays they will atract more attention.

Most of the time those going against morays with there free speech are looking for attention, I.e. the person who dyes there hair pink and shaves it into a mohawk is not necessarily a bad person - however don't get offended when people look at your head like you just got out of a spaceship....

note: I am not threatening to punch anyone, just trying to make a point.

Re: Now this, is a mystery.....
 

Last time I checked, assault is punishable by law and generally shunned by most people.

Re: Now this, is a mystery.....
 

Agreed, that wasn't my best example there was it...

The only point of that snippet was a parallel to "if you don't like it, don't read it".

I certainly see your point though...

Re: Now this, is a mystery.....
 

This is way off topic. OP is your SD card corrupt? That's what it sounds like to me. Try formatting and reloading like someone earlier said.

Guys if you want to argue about this will you check the off topic thread. Thanks!

Re: Now this, is a mystery.....
 

the punch in the face comment was really far fetched.


even though i did remove the sig, i still find it pretty pathetic. there are so much more crap out there today its rediculous to get offended over every little damn thing, when we have the freedom of coice.

Re: Now this, is a mystery.....
 

Sure, but you DON'T have to look at all these sigs, you simply block them in your preferences.

I did that at least a year ago & it made the forum FAR more enjoyeable (& a lot faster to load also)

It annoys me a little bit that I had to do this, as some of the sigs contain valuable info/links to ROMS, links to handy programs etc & those I wouldn't mind reading. I just got totally fed up with waiting for these half page flash sigs to load that where nothing but a scene from some idiots favorite movie & had nothing whatever to do with PPC's however........
