Why are we here on this planet?

Through the interaction of numerous chemical compounds, Electricity, and geological processes, a form of self replicating organics came into existance. Mutations created in the replication process, when combined with the relatively enormous timeframes involved, allowed for the eventual creation of a self aware form of life.
Due to the location of this Planet, with respect to its parent star, The elements of matter were capable of producing a biosphere. We, as Humans are here on this planet because.......we can be.

As to the philosophy behind your question, We are here to become more than we are. We have before us the ability to understand our existance, and become that which we percieve to be God. Human interaction, combined with Scientific Theory will inevitably result in an advanced understanding of what it means to be enlightened. With this enlightenment will come further advances in base understanding of our nature, and our place in the evolution of life in this Universe......insignificant as it is.

what is the answer to the ultimate question of life the universe and everything?

and number two...

what is the question?

:-P

All life in the universe exists to fill a void that would otherwise be there. Through existance, life and the Universe itself create the conditions required to form the questions that allow for self realization, which creates a need to understand that which created the existance of that which questions. All energy is inplace to be defined, and life is that which creates definition of this energy. Without an entity to create reality, reality is non-existant.

As for the question:

What purpose does existance serve?

ok here is a real question... when I first signed up, I had access to the *ahem* naughty forums on here. Why don't I now? Did they go away, or was my access yanked for some reason?

There was a time when access to these areas was of little consequence to the server.....unfortunately, due to the unflux of new people, and the fact that most were here just to view free porn, Hal had to make a descision.
As a result, the erotica of TFP has become an "Earned" privaledge, bestowed upon those who have proven to be members of the community, rather than just Porndogs.
Given time, and continued interaction in the forums.....your precious little titties shall return.

If and when one is promoted to "earned" status, will the new forums just show up when logged in?

this thread should help.. http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/showthread.php?t=71603


and Tralls, yes the forums will be there upon advancement..

(sorry Tecoyah if I hijacked this a little bit.. :cool: )

1) 42, but of course.

2) I'll tell you once existence collapses in upon itself.

Ooooookay. Got it.

Please....I need all the help I can get....psycologically anyway.

Anytime....that is the reason for this thread

Well, I too would have asked for the million but it looks like that's been done, so how about just a little old avatar. I feel naked without an avatar! :(

From the quality of your posts (quite good) and the fact that you are at 52 in a little over a month....I would say you are well on your way....keep going and that little pic will be yours.

Thanks. I just don't feel right with out a little pic of Ms Beckinsale astride my posts...

Speaking of avatars... Is that really "Troit"?

I had posted and made threads in forums,not just the titty board and still got it "taken from me" I am still a rookie. What am I missing to advance?

http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/showthread.php?t=45061

read this and pay attention to section 3

It is important to note, that using "nice tits" as a general response in the majority of threads participated in.....can have a detrimental effect on your status. TFP looks for serious contributions to the community.

You seem to be on the right track , as of late....be patient

If I remember right, Troit uses a lovely blond lady as his avatar. And I believe he isn't female himself...

Quite a few people around here use pictures of women as their avatars, and for the most part they themselves are not those women. There aren't too many posters who have avatars of themselves.

You mean that's not you, Averett? :)

No, that's me. I'm one of the people who looks exactly like their avatars :D

I have a question about the new posts link on the home page. Do new posts in the Ladies Lounge show up here? The reason I ask, I have seen several interesting topics there I almost cliked on, at the last second realising they are off limits to me. I don't want to get banned for going in there accidentaly from a new post link. I haven't seen any that fit this scenario yet. I don't want to find it by mistake.

Thanks in advance.

you can go into the ladies lounge and read.. you just can't post there. I myself try to stay out of there even if there is an interesting topic.

Thanks again.

Why does Fred Flinstone order the same plate of ribs every time if he knows it's going to tip over his car?

he does not do so....that is in the beginning sequences of the show...and is not involved directly in the episode. Just as Bart does not ride his skateboard into the Garage each time a Simpsons' episode plays.

I have a question regarding the regions. I plan on going to Missoula Montana in February, and I need some info. Would Montana be catagorized as a "US-Western" state or would it fall under the "US-Northwest" state. I want to ask some questions, but don't know which category would be appropriate. Thanks.

Damn. There goes my next request. :D

Montana should be northwest

Ok. Got another question. What does the green dot below my sadly vacant avatar represent?

That green dot tells you that another member is online. If the 'light' is off then the member is not online.

It means you are online

I wouldn't mind Ms. Beckinsale astride my post either. :lol:

Thanks for the answer. I guess I'm online at the moment...

No me either. Love that black get-up she wears in Underworld...

What are the names of all the mods?

hopefully...you will never have to find out.

On the main forum listing page, if you scroll down you will see a link that says "forum leaders"

click on that.

Question.

Since I joined and read post after post I kept seeing something about a "Tiddy Board".

Wat the hell is a "Tiddy Board"? Is it slang for something, or am I just totally misunderstanding something?

Sorry if its a stupid question, but I am always curious about what I dont understand.

At one time there was a free access "Titty Board".

It's a board. With tits. All of a sudden it disappeared because of bandwidth issues. Maybe it'll come back if you just make awesome posts.

I have a question. I am unable to post new threads. Have I done something wrong?

Thank you! I am able to post new threads again.......

good....glad it worked

I just noticed there are a few folks that don't have the option of being sent a p.m. in the pull down menu under their name. Is this a personal setting, or just a glitch in the matrix?

personal setting....but we (staff) can still access the PM function....just in case

How does one earn the respect and privelage to see ?f=4. I have yet to see it, and it's not my only reason to join the community but if its what I think it is, it'd be cool to earn that right. If I'm being too forward in asking so soon, I'm really sorry. The whole community looks like a place I could end up posting to quite a lot.

Any answer on this would be appreciated. For those that don't know what Im talking about, ignore this post.

The "Hidden" boards will open when full membership is gained. This is done through quality contribution to the community. Keep spending time in General Discussion, and look through the other Forums to find areas of interest to you.....this will get you known and respected in the TF Community. Eventually....all will be open to you, patience is the key.

O.K so I keep hearing reference to this 'teddy board', what I want to know is who the hell is into teddy bears..? Leave them alone! That's just a little bit wrong isn't it? Poor Pooh bear...

But seriously, if I want to post an image up on one of the Photoshop type boards but I don't have anywhere to host the image online myself, is there another way to upload my images..?

* Please disregard comments about the teddy bears I just find it funny/onerous the amount of times the Mods have to answer the same question... *

Take a look at this thread

http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/showthread.php?t=75643

or go here

http://www.imagestation.com/member/join_upload.html

Also....the Photoshop, Photography, and Artwork forums allow attachments.

Sounds reasonable. Thanks. *goes yoda*

I read the Part 3 rules and am still abit unclear. How long will I be a rookie? I saw the 250 and the 500 thing but those are for bonus prizes.

I belive rookie status is up until 50 *quality and counted* posts. So if you post "i'd hit it" 50 times to the Nonsense board, it won't count.

It'll happen before you know it. Explore the boards, reply thoughtfully to threads and you'll get beyond Rookie before you know it.


But honestly, nobody cares around here if you're a rookie. Some of the best members are new ones, and some of the worst have been around for ages.... It's all in how you act and carry yourself.

total newbie
 

So I was wondering how I can edit my avatar since I see pictures to choose from. Am I supposed to upload one myself? I'm new to the whole forum thing.

HisHotness - You can't add an avatar just yet, that comes later in the game. Explore the Tilted Newbie forum and get a feel for the place. Read the Sticky's (top of each forum for the most part)

If you have general questions, this would be the place for them. Oh, and also get familar with the search function :)


And welcome!

So I guess this is my first message but I can't find my frist one so this might be my first succesfull one.
Where do I find messages that I have posted?

If you click on your screen-name to the left of your post, you will see a drop-down menu. Select - find more post by - . There is a link to all posts. This will work for all the screen-names.

As tecoyah already stated, you can use image station. You can also upload pics in certain forums (including the Photoshop forum).

hey tecoyah (or any1 else)

wat does it actually mean by "sticky" thread?

A Sticky thread is embedded in the top of a Forum....or Stuck to the visible part of the page. iIn this way....it will be availible until removed on purpose.

This thread is a good example of what they are used for.

so... it a thread that the Mods & Co want everyone to read b4 they read/post in the others in that forum??

right???

Pretty much...makes life easier on everyone. Answers questions, and states rules...keeping us all in the good graces of each other.

What do the titles below a persons name mean? I get rookie but some are very specific. And what is a Supermod?

Well, there are such titles as Rookie, Tilted, Crazy, Junkie... Those are automatic. Once you get to a certian point, you can make up your own title. People get to show their personality a bit more through that.

Supermod's and moderators are the boss of you ;) Basically they keep us all in line.

You might also notice that it says "Donor" under some folks names. This just means that they have donated to the site.

Thanks for answering that.

I started a topic in Regional-Northern California about a San Francisco trip. It has vanished! Do you guys clean up old threads after a while?

this one?

http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/showthread.php?t=73971

Yup guccilvr. That's the one. When I go to the NorCal section there are only 7 topics displayed. None of them are "Tourist in San Fran"

What am I missing? Oh wait... Now I see the options at the bottom of the page for displaying older threads. Embarrassed Thanks.

you can also subscribe to that forum and find it in your User CP section as well in case you can't find it..

or you can click on your name go to public profile and click "Find All Threads Started by.... " and it will pull it up

glad I could help :thumbsup:

1st Post, Question:

Is there a "theme" for this forum? I guess it seems to be pretty heavily influenced by feminism, which is why I joined. Is this a feminist forum?

I would say there isn't any set theme at all.. it's a melting pot of many different ideas and schools of thought.

how can i check my post count, im not neccessarily vain, but i like to keep track of how much time i spend in a forum. i would be satisfied with a #posts per day type counter.


and


if you a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

click on your name and go to your public profile..your PC should be in there..

and yes it still makes a sound.. just not a loud one ;)

If you click on your screen-name to the left of your post, you will see a drop-down menu. Select - view public profile- . This will work for all the screen-names.

thanks, i actually just figgured that out before returning to this thread to reply to myself and have a solution for anybody else who might be wondering about that.

Here's one for ya tecoyah. This question was on a philosophy test in my university. The question was only one word, "Why?". Only one student got the answer correct, what was his answer?

I was always told, "because I said so".

Nope. :D.......

I had the same question in my one and only philosophy course.

I wrote "Why not?" and got a half mark.

My buddy wrote "42" and got a .75 mark.

No idea what or if something was correct.



-edit-... and then I realized this wasn't in nonsense...

Because all thinking creatures must question......

Why not is actually what the guy wrote and got perfect. Not sure who was right now, lol. That's philosophy for ya!

Hi all. i just joined and trying to get used to the idea of forum chat. one thing i cant fidure out is what do the diffent shapes and colours of the envelopes beside the thread titles mean?

the tree will create sound waves. does that count?

It depends on what forum style you have, but for the most part it's:

http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/images/...thread_new.gif New posts
http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/images/...ad_hot_new.gif Hot thread with new posts
http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/images/...con/thread.gif No new posts
http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/images/...thread_hot.gif Hot thread with no new posts
http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/images/...hread_lock.gif Thread is closed
http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/images/...thread_dot.gif You have posted in this thread

Or you can scroll down to the bottom of the forum and there will be a key on the left.

can i just ask... Huh???

Can I get a "You have posted in this hot thread with new posts"?

There's a challenge for you.

I'll do one better:

http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/images/...ad_dot_hot.gif You have posted in this hot thread

http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/images/...ot_hot_new.gif You have posted in this hot thread with new posts

sorry about that!!! i read it out loud this morning and i understood!!! refering to a tree falling in the woods, right???

1.) Answer: 42

2.) Question: What is 6 X 7?

i'm going to help a friend build a message board...... can someone explain this quailty post system to me?? how does it work??? and if it's more than just having someone click a button to give you privlages, where do you obtain the system?

Your Mods and Admins ARE the system. Thus the Human touch of this community.

i was under the impression that avatars came with a post count, am i mistaken?

Not entirely,there are those who are....noticed for excellent contribution, and are rewarded with early membership. Just as there are a few that are...shall we say, not working towards the benefit of our community, and will likely never have an avatar, let alone access to the more personal parts of TFP. The staff attempts to be somewhat selective when it comes to hidden aspects of the Forums, in an attempt to retain a safe and comfortable atmosphere, inside the doors.
