Topic: November + December Desktops.

* Scyphi thinks about Zantor's proposed desktop pic for a moment...

Personally, I think it'd look even better without the text, but that's just me.

Sorry for posting off-topic, but I'm curious where to find this free copy of Mechwarrior 4. Like Pyro, all I could find is the Crysis mod.

As far as I can tell it is yet to be released. It is supposed to be provided by MekTek.net and by distributed by BattleTech.com

[Zantor]

Enough derailing the thread! This is not where you guys should talk about Mechwarrior!

I think I'll do a drop shadow; I'll tweak it to get it to look right. Thank you for your input.

Hey... who's the one off-topic? Anyway... what's wrong with the drop shadow I gave it?

[D2Disciple]

Rerail? 

[-<WillyP>-]

Actually, that's a derail, someone changed the sign...



Here is a re-rail:

[D2Disciple]

Interesting. I gotcha now.

BTW: I was the one to change the sign for humor's sake. I take it my attempt failed. 

I think we need to start a January Desktop now that it's halfway through January.

lol... The first is placed between some rolling stock on a siding and the mainline. If for some reason the cars start rolling they will become derailed before rolling out onto the mainline.

I believe it's called thread hijacking

[The Chief]

I wouldn't say that, the conversation has simply wandered off track. A thread-jacking would be when, for example, a topic is started to ask advice on a crashed harddrive and someone is helping them, all of a sudden someone else comes in and starts relating there problem with a harddrive. It may be a sound like the same problem but they are taking away from the help the OP would be getting, and possibly confusing the people who are trying to help.

[S13driftAZ]

I stand corrected

[-<WillyP>-]

Well, it's a fine line... posting a pic and asking for help with it is a bit off topic, might be considered thread jacking... but if he is planning to use it for a wallpaper maybe it's on topic. And as they say, 'no harm, no foul'.

[D2Disciple]

And besides: thread derailment is a tradition at PD. 

But seriously: don't hesitate to realign the thread if it's going way off track. I don't think anyone here had the intention of being unhelpful or ignorant, Zantor. My apologies.
