  More power to you. I will occasionally read an article or so, and enjoy it. I just don't care for the forum anymore.

  The forum is poorly administered and implemented, but its "lightweight" appearance has a decent potential.  In fact, its style is why IJBM and HH are using Vanilla today.

  If anything, Vanilla seems like its default interface is patterned on Facebook...it sure pulls off the "clean" appearance much better than TVT does.
• glennmagusharvey

  2014-09-14 23:55:06

  Vanilla's interface, despite being buggy, is significantly better than TVT's.

  I mean, the PMWiki hackjob is cool in that it could be turned into a fully-functional forum, with wiki integration and all.
  
  But it's still wiki-based and not native forum implementation.  So you get silly problems like autoparsing of WikiWords and deleting extra newlines and spaces.  And unusual markup schemes.
  
  That said, this place doesn't have BBCode enabled yet...

  Have you ever had one of those beds (apart from your own) that is so comfy that you just go "ahhhhh yeah"?
  
  My new Halls bed is like that.

  The beds in my old Halls were so uncomfortable. I'd flop down and break my spine, because the metal frame work was solid.
  
  Here, the bed is made of wood and has a wooden base, so I bounce back when I flop down.
  
  Also extra storage space. Bonus.

  The bed frames are made of wood, but the bottoms are made of metal

  
  

  You can bounce back, but once you stop bouncing, you realize that you are laying on a perfectly flat surface. 

  
  

  I've overlaid the heavy sheet over the mattress to help things out.

  The bottom of my old bed was made of metal bars. The bottom of the bed is made of a large plank of wood.
  
  Also I may be coming down with Freshers Flu. I've been here for a day/night.

  Ooh, or check out Fallen London!

  
  

  It's a text-based MMO I found two weeks ago. You get to wander around Underground Victorian London, solving mysteries and making alliances with criminals, vicars and the squid people.

  
  

  Squids, my friend. Is there anything else a person could want?

  I would use it to admire the peaceful silence as the sun rises over a new day.
  
  And a new life too, since (as I presume) you're a first-year student in a university, in a new dormitory.  Take a moment to savor the feeling.

  Hmm, let's ask a random 6 year old.

  
  

  Remove two of the metal screw bands from two glass jar lids, tape the metal screw bands together to make an 8 shape,tie a string to the top of the 8 and then tie the other end of the string to the bottom of the 8 and now you have made goggles

  
  

  Let's ask a 7 year old.

  
  

  Get a map with many countries or states.  cut out each country or state.  Find new ways to put them together.

  
  

  Let's ask a 14 year old.

  
  

  Write a note to parents/siblings/teachers/someone-you-like telling how you appreciate them and all they do.
