Not that I’m complaining, because the Gen IV Elite 4 didn’t leave much of an impression on me, but I’m surprised Flint won. I remembered playing DPPT that he struck me as a bit of a sore loser. I know, I know, he’s a flame and he starts energized and burns out while Volkner gets charged up from battles (Really clever concept). However, I remember back when the games came out, he struck me as such a… Such a… Such a kid, I guess?… Oh no! I’m turning into Iris! T.T

Well, I’ve stuck around so you’re doing something 90% these sorts of websites can’t manage 😛

I’ll admit the images are quite nice, but I get the feeling most people probably don’t notice them down there. The other stuff (apart from the copyright notice) is (IMO) less important, but might do well with a life further up.

Programming with time is almost always tricky. I try to stick to handling things using UTC as much as possible (not that I have to handle actual times much beyond messing with file timestamps, usually I’m working with things on the order of magnitudes of nanoseconds and milliseconds).

Ah, that’s all fair enough! I think it’s probably important to say we’re still playing with alternate formats for the content on the site (though changes won’t be as huge as they were when we first changed).

I think the area at the bottom is something we will change almost completely.

Rather than going up it just changed the scheduled time and didn’t do anything.:(

Maybe if I post enough Shiggy tweets things will pick up:

In reply to TigerMasku. The maximum capacity of the largest 3DS cartridge is 8GB out of interest.

Both, sort of, more of an observation about modern sites in general. A lot of modern sites tend to go overboard with using javascript things and extra stuff, or the javascript parts are overengineered.

Yeah, this site is pretty good compared to some (my ds can’t even load modern wikia-based sites because they changed the format several months ago, Wikipedia itself has always remained good though).

I just wonder sometimes though, how many people actually reach the bottom of the page to see the stuff down there, or use anything other than the links to the forums, the Disqus area and the article itself. Not to mention there’s two sets of Facebook buttons and three places where Twitter is linked to. I could be wrong, (I probably am) since I’m not exactly the typical internet user, they probably do all get used, but I sometimes wonder these things.

Presumably that means it was due to appear at a certain time but the time zone it was in was behind the time expected or something.
