Allies vs Axis Yes or No and a new map
basically WW2 map with teams Free France GB Russia USA vs Germany Italy Japan Vichy France. If a teammate gets taken over your team can liberate your teammates territory which would bring him back but its only the territories he started out with. you can also move through your teammates territories and help defend them if a team dominates the map it would asked them to continue if all 4 players say yes this reverts back to the old diplomacy game type as a free for all.

Banned by a moderator: moron
I'm glad that the mods banned 'Peyton is back,' userID=63701, for his annoying spamming, but I dislike the fact that they cited such a childish-sounding reason. 'Banned by a moderator: spamming' would be a much more appropriate and 'adult' reason. I guess I'm just disappointed that the moderators would demean themselves and their reputation by acting so deplorably.

Why do we tolerate people within our society like obiwan?
I sometimes agree with these kind of people, that if we locked them all in a prison and killed them, we could free the world of ignorance and hatred within a week. Maybe the last war of man will be between the progressives and the ones holding us back.

Introducing WebDip Census
So I have seen a ton of people trying to figure out the population of this site. I introduce my project the WebDip Census.( http://wdcb.webs.com ) I hope you all take the time to fill out the census survey.

I will be monitoring and updating the information on this site weekly for the first month and monthly from that point forward. Other polls will follow once I receive feedback on the first, hopefully this site can provide some statistical information not only to users of this site but the moderators and admins ad well.

CommanderByron (801 D(S))
22 Jul 14 UTC
to prevent people from filling out more than one. I will be the ONLY person to see the results. When I release the results it will be in mass format so I will release something along the lines of "As of today, September 1st we have had X number of completed forms. X% of these forms were filled by females. No one will know your answers, except me. I am running this professionally to fill a void for the community.

guy that is a true statement. It was not something that crossed my mind. In a future poll I will definitely include that; please include that in your comments when you fill out I am going to keep a log book of all the comments and questions so I can improve the polls as they move forward. I am always open to suggestions.

2) Are you knew here?

3) What is your Chase Account number?

I will post the first report on the census results on July 29th. The second will be on August 6th, Third will be on August 13th, Final weekly report will be on August 20th. Then a new Report will follow every 20th day of every month.

K so maybe we can stop making these since nobody fills them out and there's been at least five of them in the last few months....?
CommanderByron (801 D(S))
23 Jul 14 UTC
That's why I am doing this one Bo, go to the site. You will see I plan to keep up with this on a monthly schedule to keep information coming in and keep all the polls under one roof. I've seen the 5 in the past month and realized they only ever get 20 participants per survey. That's not a good population survey; I am trying to stack mine larger and add more polls as time goes on so that we can have an area to view the information. That type of information would be extremely helpful to people like yourself trying to compete in F2F if you know that 15 people live near Chicago then you can start looking for them in the forums rather than blindly calling out hoping for a response. It's information and I'm collecting it in an organized manner.

*Business man smile* This is an example of how fast I can get a poll question to the public if WDBC is supported. 10 minutes and your request was granted (regardless of sarcasm). Imagine the possibilities should a new feature be added and the staff is curious how the feature is taking with the population; or if the staff are thinking about a new feature the waters can be tested beforehand.

@abgemacht,

Bro I know you're my friend here and I have mad love and respect for you, but seriously, you're trolling.

Byron has the awesomest, most privacy-friendly survey here for anyone who cares to fill it out.

Sadly, there appear to be more complaints here than people who have actually filled out the survey.

You all should lighten up - speaking as the (probably) only genuine privacy enthusiast on the site, you guys should get over yourselves and fill out the survey.

I hate organizing things online. For every person who shows up to help, you get another four people showing up just intending to troll and waste time with useless questions.

Okay, so Byron has a little demographics survey. By nature, that requires fairly intrusive questions be asked.

Are you on the run from the law? An off-duty CIA operative? An active Nigerian mercenary? If so then yes, you probably *shouldn't* fill out the survey.

But since that describes *none* of you, then you all should just shut up and take the damn survey.

Or not - asking further questions is pointless, stupid and annoying.

This is the *definition* of trolling. This is why so many grass-roots movements fail.

This is like that stupid caricature on Monty Python where they have two meetings to decide where they should have the next meeting (Life of Brian).

Please don't post any further questions/statements/opinions until after you have troubled to take the survey.

Sorry for the outburst but Byron is a really nice guy and he is trying to perform a service for the site.

Please lead, follow or get the hell out of the way. And take the damn survey.

Hamas Rejects ANOTHER Ceasefire
http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4549051,00.html "Speaking in Qatar, political chief Khaled Mashal demands Israel lift blockade, says Gaza-based group will never agree to disarm." I post another thread to specifically call attention to this...once AGAIN Hamas rejects a ceasefire. Demands met or no...surely if they're a people of peace they should allow for a ceasefire, right? But they've rejected it...again...but this is really Israel perpetuating the war. NEVER Hamas.
