So who is the most deranged poster, and why?

It's probably one of the anon posters who come on here to troll, but out of any of the regular folks, I'd have to say Spunky. Wild tales about seeing the 9/11 hijackers at Dave & Busters, delusions about an FU conspiracy to "cover up" jet engine noises, paranoid accusations that Elliot in the Morning is somehow using this forum to torment her, unfathomable stories about mysterious people who enter her house for some ludicrous, sinister purpose.... the list goes on and on.

She's a trip.

Why hasn't Gravis exposed her identity yet? It is a mystery.

i dont think anyone actually wants to know who she is. it's hard enough knowing she's managed to get on the internet.

Can you at least say if it's a legit, unique voter, or one of someone's alts?

You're right, anything past that is horrifying to consider.

I'd like to know if those pro-O'Meara posters are all the same person. And if he has the same IP address as one Mike O'Meara.

i thought kinda the point of this site was for people to be able to post anonymously

so are you saying that people contributing to the herndon death thread could actually be exposed like that?

there is some pretty sensitive information that people share here, including myself. if we are not anoymous then that should be information informed to people as they sign up. it could have an affect on someone making a post. like a "whistle blower"

i am not seeing the word anonymous anywhere in there.

interesting

so are you saying that no one should say anything on this forum that they would not feel comfortable saying in real life (and having ppl know they said it), because people on this site outside of the site owner (non-admin) have the ability to identify individual users?

this is making me nervous now if so

Welcome to Fairfax Underground! A free and anonymous forum designed to improve communication between residents of Northern Virginia.

This forum was created in 2005 out of my personal frustration in trying to find local information on the internet. Fairfax Underground aims to be a public resource for all residents of Northern Virginia. In keeping with the anonymous public resource theme, you do not need an account to view or post messages to the Fairfax Underground forums. Although, if you do register an account you gain additional features such as private messaging and a designated nickname that cannot be forged.

The overwhelming majority of visitors use this site strictly as a resource and never contribute new content. There is nothing wrong with this but I must impress upon you that there is only as much information available on the internet as you add to it. I implore you to please not be shy about posting in these forums. There is no matter too trivial as long as it's relevant.

Please take the opportunity to ask your neighbors whatever you are curious about. You don't have to provide your real name or email address, and the worst that can happen is that nobody responds. And perhaps a month from now someone will search google for the exact same thing and find your post. So go on, hit that Post New Topic button, what do you have to lose?

[Features]
Forums: The forums are the primary feature of Fairfax Underground. There are currently 4 sections:
* Fairfax General: Just about everything should go here. Anything of interest to Northern Virginia as a whole should be posted to this forum.
* Specific City/Town: "Local" forums for a specific town. Used for very specific things, ie. complain about potholes on a neighborhood street.
* NoVA Underground: Local forums for our neighbors in Arlington, Prince William and Loudoun.
* Off-Topic: Everything else

The forums are open and anonymous. Anything relevant will not be deleted or altered in any way. Occasionally, posts that are either direct personal attacks, spam, or complete garbage will be removed. For more information see the "Moderation" section below.







now i am really confused because there is a statement on anoymity, yet we have users in this thread stating that is not the case. so, which is it? Is this an anoymous site in which a whistle blower (etc) can act freely, w/o fear of having their identities known within the community, or not?

stop posting BMP files you douchebag. that one image was 577.6K. to make a comparison, my images are 25KB on average. you are screwing everyone over that is using dialup and just make the site slow in general.

STOP POSTING BMP FILES.

TOUCHÉ! sir, i stand corrected. unfortunately, this only covers non-interference from cary, not the posters unless cary deems otherwise.

Dude, chill the fuck out. No need to throw names my way, especially after I had your back in the Prada Denim drama. I haven't done anything to harm you, that is, unless you are still running 14.4 speed on a Tandy, which I doubt you are.

Anyway, is there a way to reduce the size of BMP files? Are JPEGs and GIFs equally as "harmful", or is it strictly size dependent? It says "no file can be larger than 19.2 MB" - I don't think I'm coming close to that.

Seriously, drop some internets knowledge on me. I'm not a techie like you.

Thanks for the info.

my apologies, it's just that people posting oversized images is a pet peeve of mine, especially people when people take a picture using their camera and post a 3MB image that they dont crop so they look like the size of Wisconsin being 6400x4800 and the like.

umm what? if you dont register a name, i cant tell if you are the same person from one post to the next. you should register a name like PictureGuy or something.

while i dont, i know there are people that look at the site using their iphone, so those people are getting screwed.

not significantly.

forget GIFs, use JPEGs as they are the standard for high compression images when it comes to the internet.

yeah, that's more for attachments that are documents. images are automatically downloaded thus being a pain in the ass if you post large sized files. rarely should an image exceed 100KB that is posted on a forum.

i have attached a small freeware program called "WaveL CompressIt 1.2" to help you compress your images. 50% quality is usually acceptable. it's a very simple program.

Thanks for the info. I'll try to be more aware of post bmp's unless absolutely necessary, like if the subject matter in the thread is perfectly on-point with the pic. I have about 75% of my gallery in jpeg or gif, so I'll try to limit the amount of bmp files I post going forward.

FYI - MSPaint will allow you to save files as JPG now too. I know it works in Win XP, not so sure about Win2k.

Anyhow, all you have to do is open the bmp in MSPaint then go to File -> Save As, then change the file type to JPG.

dwY9W - Dude, that worked perfectly! Reduced a 550KB file to a 23KB. That's $$$.
