I kind of wish I could move into my new flat now, but I have no carpets and still waiting on appliances being delivered. That's what it's like when you move into an empty flat. It's just that - empty. Thankfully, they don't object to one having pets, but I can't get a cat. I do like cats, but cannot own one due to allergies. Even the hypoallergenic cats aren't going to be absolutely free of allergens. People mistake the hairs as the source of this problem, but it's actually a protein that exists in their saliva that causes the nasal congestion, burning eyes and other unpleasant feelings. I used to think it depended also on the breed of cat. My sister has a Persian, but Rosie never made me unwell. The Burmese cats do. I'll probably just have to get a rabbit, but I think having pets in tanks or cages all day long isn't fair on the animal. It is probably possible to litter train a bunny and have it 'free roam' in a room, so long as it doesn't gnaw at the wires.

Find light in the beautiful sea, I choose to be happy
You and I, you and I, we’re like diamonds in the sky
You’re a shooting star I see, a vision of ecstasy
When you hold me, I’m alive
We’re like diamonds in the sky

The police paid me a visit this morning at my request. I won't say anymore. I invited them around to talk about that certain someone, in hopes that they could contact the authorities in Napier. As for this forum in general: It's as good as dead now. I cannot believe there are no moderators here anymore. What the hell actually happened to make it get this bad here? Was everybody that was once a moderator relieved of their duties? You know, this was a pretty popular forum once. I've been here since 2012 (obviously, I used the name "Peter SC" before). So I don't get why this has to happen to so many great forums that were once so active. I've honestly became quite sickened by the lack of compassionate people on the Internet these days. How people work to build a successful domain, just to leave it to be pissed on by idiots is beyond crazy. Some people had a bit of a bond with these forums once. At the same time, I realize people are very busy having jobs and other commitments, and don't always have time to go on forums, but there's still a fair amount of users that come here (i.e. TheEvilJester). It's a shame that asshole from New Zealand is screwing up everything, and playing stupid. But honestly. Even the police said the best thing to do is ignore that troll, as he just wants attention. I printed off dozens of pages of his bull crap, but I more than likely wasted my time, and the ink and paper. A rather stupid and immature person with nothing better to do than act tough because he's doing this online.

If you want some good proper advice on running a forum. Get a SMF board instead with CloudFlare. You can probably convert the current forums to it, but I couldn't say for sure as I'm not an expert on scripts and stuff. It not only reduces traffic, but it blocks virtually all proxies. It becomes a real pain trying to find any that work, but it's a great way to keep out trolls that like using anonymizers to cause trouble.

That's my two cents.

Well, I have a chance to win a snooker cup tomorrow. I won the cup once before, way back in 2014. I just won it that one time, but I am not really good at snooker.

Unlike pool, which is relatively simple, snooker is very hard. You have to pocket balls like you just drank a gallon of jet fuel. Or if you fall behind on points, you usually have to concede the frame. It depends how far behind you may get.

Annoying when forum threads all lock up & makes the forum look abandoned.

Is this "Gary Griffin" profile a bot? Tons of his posts leave a link to some blog. That's generally what bots do.

That Kiwi guy (Gimpy) has been at it again. On my IMDb page, he added an entry for a YouTube video and my complaints on their support forums go ignored, apart from a few members replying. Why is he doing that? These are just videos where I'm talking about games such as Resident Evil and they are not worthy of being on IMDb either.

I'm still intending to call Spark, his ISP. The trouble is, I'm in Scotland, so at night where I live, it's morning across there. Also, the reason I don't post on here much now is because I miss my old account. I'm bored with forums because they're not very active in this modern day and age due to Facebook, and I've never had a real relationship with anyone. That, and your administrator sucks balls for allowing this place to end up in such a mess.

If anybody recalls reading my old threads as "Peter SC" from around 6 years ago, they were all mostly about my dealings with this shallow woman who used me to get her things like a PS3 and an iPod. Laura is her name. I've not seen her since I randomly came across her back in 2015 one night. She saw me in town once and immediately asked me for money, then quickly wanted me to go away when she realized I had nothing for her. Before that, I had not seen her since just before I lost my flat over an ordeal concerning my former support workers at Autism Initiatives. She was never a sane person anyway. We met in 2005 when I was involved in a course. She was in a charity shop, and I went there to do work as part of the course. She dated me briefly, but her pals were deliberately harassing me when I went to her family's house, so I decided to stop going there and she didn't even have a mobile phone. She's just a sponger that will never be anything. I'd actually not seen her in many years before she met up with me again in 2012 (after I found her on Facebook). Maybe she should have stayed gone. She didn't do a great deal to enhance my life. Rather, she wrecked it, as did those autism support workers. How many autistic people have you seen write as well as I do? Now I'm trying to utilize my talents (acting and writing) to make something of myself.

People who have addictive personalities who try to fool themselves and others into thinking what they are doing is to help others but it is only to feed their issue/addiction.

I'd love to get a girlfriend, but I don't socialize at all, so not socializing means I won't meet anyone, and I'd probably have to date a woman who has ASD because no other woman cares. I cannot even go in shops without having bouts of anxiety. I live alone now. My mother visits me occasionally, but I'm otherwise mostly by myself. I'm not a big fan of the Internet any more because forums are all but dead these days, and Facebook is boring, depressing and full of egotists that just make me feel worse. I get bullied a lot online. Apart from that, the games I used to like aren't the same any more now that we're in the PS4 era where horror games are about shooting everything in sight. Plus, everything in the entertainment industry gets milked because they continue to beat a dead horse. Sure, the graphics are 1000 times better with what they can do now, but everything else sucks. They were amazing on the PS2 in spite of the hardware not being as powerful.
