Yes, many might have noticed that most ppl use hxxp://site.com so ppl cant click the url.
I dont see the point in it. If sites like microsoft or e.g stardock sees that people are being redirected from here, i dont think they bother.

Back in the old days [about a year ago], then old betanet had some minor warez, and needed hxxp. but today, no such is present, and i ask why we still need it.

The Rule
For me it's just force of habit. Been doing this so long and most places don't like direct links. It's easier to do the same way every where I visit then trying to keep it straight so I use _http://

My 2 cent

maybe its no rule any more, i havent been here for awhile...

but please stop, couse it no point having it imo

yea please use /http or _http

then you can still copy the link easy :)

when i get home (at school now, no ftp or ssh to anywhere outside of the local lan, f***ing network) i'll completely disable live links so you can still use http:// and it be non clickable, best of both worlds :P

I don't mind a h**p... or _http... or whatever. You can always copy the part after the double slashes and paste it, right?
A good habit which is no problem in my (humble) opinion.

Is that you Nichotin, known all over Scandinavia? Good to see you back here!

Thank you .unicorn :)

But Stuey, whats the problem with having live links? B1 isnt doing anything illegal.

Nicho,

Just plain lazy, are ya? :P :D :P

Just kidding :) and you are right, there is nothing illegal going on, but I too by force of habit tend to prefix my links as well.... :blink:

The Two

Nichotin is right you know.

But seriously . . . We need that thing disabled :)

I will always :P use that method (hxxp://site.com).
You likes or not. Enabled or disabled the hot links. I will still using :D

Dont take it personally but I use that method before I log on B1.

atleast use hxxp://site.com, cuz you can just paste it in ie6 and it will automatically be converted to http://site.com :)

and im not joking :D try it.

I just disabled all live links.

http://www.betaone.net
hxxp://www.betaone.net
www.betaone.net
betaone.net
ftp://www.betaone.net
ftp.betaone.net

nada :P

an links that were posted before that were live will still be, but any future ones won't be

w00... now announce it so ppl can start to use http.

Jeez Nich, seems like you have a real passion about this. Seems kind of silly to me.

Damn Nic! Throw away those Virginia Slim Lights, light up a Camel and chill :D :D

}---:)

or you can get this little app(10k) so that when you highlight the link and right-click on it, you can just open it that way. i forgot where i found it though.

i don't get the point here too :(
there is nothing illegal here :blink:
who cares anyway,
if Sephiroth is so concerned about having non-live links, oh well, we will stick to it :)
but still our other admin, JacKDynne doesn't get the point too :D

:blink: :wacko: :blink: :wacko: :blink:

:mellow: :huh: ^_^ :wacko: :lol:

good to see u back, Nichotin ;)

*ok*
maybe you think its silly, but i dont :D


anyways, thanks for all the "welcome back nichotin"'s :)

personally I like to just use the easy and safe usuage of

okok, someone close this thread :)

Done!
