Hmm, its debatable whether this is in fact a battlereport but it could be and its not spam so I'll approve it.

Geocities too?

Good effort. 3 or 4. Make some more.

Bloody hell, no pics. Ironically this quote showed up:

"Angel: ooh ooh... can I have the Red X?"
"Talon: no, but you can have a bigass bowl of "PUSH THE REFRESH BUTTON, IDIOT""
-Talon/Angel

Okay, reading it didn't take as long as I thought.

As it stands, I wont rate it, because for all I know, the pictures could be epic and actually tell the story.

If I should rate it, I'd give you a 2 for the opening paragraphs.

I'd love to fix the pics but nothing worked. I tried the Report center and it didn't work, which is why I uploaded them from geocities, and now they aren't working either. Any ideas?
#9 Lithium[153057]

I saw the pictures. Weird. I don't see them now though.

I can see the pictures. What's wrong with all of yours?
#11 [153061]
usrns116.dialup.hawaii.edu
You passed your bandwidth limit for geocities, so they don't show up anymore. Report Center should work.
#12 -=~Kadabra~=-[153062]
ip68-109-138-205.ph.ph.cox.net
I knw it SHOULD work, but it's not letting me upload the pics for some reason. It would be fairly simply to edit the report if I could just get the pics uploaded.
#13 adrenaling[153063]
CPE00a065cb0ceb-CM014100005949.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com
Okay, the pictures are coming up for me so I don't know what the fuck is wrong with all of yours?
#14 -=~Kadabra~=-[153064]
ip68-109-138-205.ph.ph.cox.net
It's a bandwidth problem adren. Try looking again in like 20 minutes and the pics won't work again.
#15 adrenaling[153065]
CPE00a065cb0ceb-CM014100005949.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com
Ah, I get it... Bandwidth... Never was into computers much... ;(

Question mark. What is this?

I'm confused. Is it a story about boxing? Is it humor? What?

#17 -=~Kadabra~=-[153069]
ip68-109-138-205.ph.ph.cox.net
If you could see the pictures, you would know the answer to that.

It's supposed to be a report on boxing, but
1) it's too short.
2) it's hosted on one of the worst internet hosting programs (extreme bandwidth limit).
3) if you've visited Battlereports.com at all before you'd have known Geocities sucks.
4) there are plenty of other places to host, y'know?
5) I'm just picking on this guy, it probably isn't that bad of a report.

Bye. =) More interesting reports, and longer too. (I couldn't see da pictures)

If this is supposed to be a story with pictures, I think that it's a bit too short, even for a short story. :(

In response to EldritchEEvil:

You must be an idiot then since everyone else got it.

#23 wakiki[153081]

Hm, I "got" it, I guess(it seemed to be making fun of some boxer), but I didn't know who the person was, nor have I seen the movie to which you are referring. So, it wasn't that funny to me, but maybe I just didn't get the jokes due to the fact that I am ignorant on the subject of boxing, or who that person is, or what the movie is :)

And no, Eld is not an idiot.

In any case, keep making more, but with more writing and explaination. JV has a minimum character limit for a reason :) The first few paragraphs seemed a little cliché, but well written. However, then it disentegrated into something with no structure, random pictures, some looking old-fashioned black and white, some looking modern...what was up with this?

On second thought, maybe I didn't get it.

Keep writing more, just make them more detailed.

I hope you all realize that for those who saw the report originally when the pictures were still up can only still see them because they were stored in cache? Geocities sucks, never use it. Report center, use it.
#25 -=~Kadabra~=-[153087]
ip68-109-138-205.ph.ph.cox.net
This wasn't meant to be anything spectacular. Think of it as an experiment gone horribly wrong. For those of you who pointed out how it slowly went down hill, congratulations. You can identify the obvious. For those of you (all 2) who read between the lines and got the joke; you are hip to that whole pop-culture thing.

Next time, I won't try anything witty or unique. I'll just stick to the same sarcastic political referencing and eye-cocaine images that seem to be so popular.

As to the whole uploading thing, I'm still not having luck with the Report Center. When I try logging in, it takes me to a screen that says "Session Over, click here to relog" with no other options. Plus, I don't remember ever having problems FTPing here before.
#27 .Praetor[153091]
c-67-172-163-127.client.comcast.net
Well I'm giving it a 4. Seemed like a silver to me, but nothing more. I'm probably biased since I've fallen asleep watching boxing before, but I'm rating it anyway. Now an MMA report ala Nikuraba, that'd be good.
#28 [153099]
129.142.195.30.ip.tele2adsl.dk
I'm going along with the 4. The arnold picture was worth a +1 on its own.

That's true. Guess I should have given a 5 for the Arnold picture.

I dont follow boxing at all, but I've heard of Klitchko.

Well that report was pretty lame. You people need to understand, DO NOT EXPERMENT! lol jk, so long as you give it a serious effort.

I figure you got two fours because you mentioned Malt Liquor. That was really the only cohesion your "report" had.

This was a promising topic, but then you just kind of wasted my time. I was a little displeased, to say the least.

i dont get it

you should have actually done a report on boxing, it woulda been cooler
#35 mattzarella[153183]
162.7.33.65.cfl.rr.com
ooooh ok!

if you set out to do a report that "isn't anything spectacular" then your goals are in all the wrong places. with every report you release, you should have a mindset that "this is a 10 in my book". once you go from there, you can just make fun of raters because they dont see what you see ;]

still, don't half ass anything and then tell everyone that you didn't intend for it to be good - it lowers your reporting cred a lot, yo

man we need an edit post feature cause i keep thinking of new things to say

your login problem is weird, but i'm pretty sure you can fix it by just creating a new account. you NEED to use report center - it's basically foolproof, and it'll be even better once it gets revamped.

i thought this was actually pretty funny! you still need to play up on it a lot more - i mean, you're obviously not a stupid guy, and your writing is coherent, so turn this into something bigger. reporting is a great thing; you have absolute freedom to fuck up anything you want, in the format of a battlereport.

speaking of format, that is probaby 50% of what you did wrong. today's reports have to look a lot better to get good ratings - i mean, you can release a really good long report and still get away with it, but for shorter reports you have to make them look nice. i suggest learning CSS - its very simple and very easy to do, even for people who know absolutely nothing about formatting (me).

i still say that you can do a great job on reports in the future. its evident that you are a shade brighter than the other crayons in the box, but don't let your stab at being unique stop you - i think that individuality is an amazingly rare needle in the haystack that is br.com. if you can find something that just screams out your name, something you really like, do it. but please, for the love of god...

... don't let it be Starcraft.

Yahoo/Geocities shut down my anti-pollution web site with no explanation other than
"Billing Error"
I go to their "reactivate" pages and it says "Error, can not assist" I call and they
tell me to go to their "reactivate" page. The slave employee on the phone just says
what is on their screen. Trying to argue with them is a waste of time. If you dare
suggest you have already done that, they just say, "Let me connect you to our wait
forever sucker department where you're call will never be answered"

Apparently Yahoo/geocities and corporate friends don't like web sites exposing corruption, needless pollution, and ancient mysteries of all things, very strange.

Two years worth of work lost. Trying to sue them would cost more time and money.
I'll just post the horror story daily some where and the people who continue to use
their services, willingly help them take the world. They are not a funny warm fuzzy
clown face color text logo, that is just an image on your screen. They are a dark
corporation, one of many links in the chains of evil power who don't want you to know
what toxins your children are digesting. They might as well be spoon feeding it to
your kids, their associates are.

Just before my web site was shut down I found out through the logs that there were 814 clicks on my web site's "contact" button which lanks to my page with my email addys. No one clicks on "contact" unless they want to make contact. Once there they have the option of three different email addresses. How many actual emails did I receive? 17

Someone with authority has been intercepting my email for 2 years, but forgot to wipe the logs. The logs were proof that something was wrong. So the just made my whole site vanish.
