Anyone needs some webdesign?
I was going to do some webdesign for someone to earn some money in the holidays, but that project apparently got sort of cancelled and it's a bit late to apply for a holiday job now I think, so I'm offering my services again.. See first reply for what I can do. I copied it from the last time I advertised, in case anyone recognizes it.

Well, considering he freely admits he didn't notify Kestas until *after* he created a fake account to trick users, I'd say no.

"He was purposefully trying to trick users into emailing him instead of the mods with site issues. What do you want?"

He was purposefully trying to trick users into emailing him their passwords. Which is significantly worse. Here is the message that he used.

"Dear member,

We've noticed some unusual IP activity stemming from your account in the past few days. Please could you provide us with your account password to monitor the games you are currently involved in?

The webdip mods"

Also, the entire premise is preposterous.

What would having a domain email solve? Do you know how much it costs to make a domain name? Like $5. If the mod email address was [email protected] all someone would have to do is create [email protected]. It's trivially more difficult.

As an intern at Google, I have procured the right and power to bestow upon webDiplomacy our company's first official Honorary Sheriff's Badge! We at Google thank the webDip mods and community for their support and vigilant moderating of suspicious and disturbant behavior.

Yeah, notice how no one gave zultar shit when he gave himself the star. Probably because he bribes everyone with free points.

For anyone who is not following Diprepublic, SYnapse is telling his loyal SYnacolytes to "please await Kestas' official comment".

Is he really under the impression Kestas is going to ride in on a white horse, smack jmo down, clear his name, and reinstate blankflag?

Maniac thought he was buying Google, but actually SYnapse used social engineering to trick him into paying for the comparatively worthless "gooGle" instead.

That's how SYnapse got the funds to set up Diprepublic.

Ah no, goldfinger, unfortunately not. I was misinformed about that Sheriff Badge power and I've been fired. But actually though, I'm in the process of getting my Chemical Engineering degree from the University of Michigan, and I do have an internship at 3M in the Twin Cities. So close enough right?

DIE HARD
Did you know: The Die Hard movies of Bruce Willis are entirely improvised? The director merely provides a set and some weapons, and some Germans or something, and turns Willis loose in front of the cameras. Bruce Willis was born in Germany and can recognize their accents.

Soaking Mormons
I have heard that in the Mormon faith, pre-marital sex is only sinful if it involves vigorous movement. I have also heard that Mormon teens therefore practice "soaking", which involves penetrating the female partner, but then remaining still. They believe this is not sinful. Is this for real?
