I modded a fair bit, not that I was all that good, but I managed to do alright and had lots of fun doing it. I enjoy having Nerf battles with my friends, but the problem I have is that most of my friends have moved on from Nerf, so there are very few people for me to Nerf with. Having a battle with one friend is not that much fun compared to a full 3v3 like we used to have. Plus, the thrift stores where I would get 3-4 blasters per trip have completely dried up, and everytime I go there there is nothing at all. And I'm against paying full retail price for any of the new blasters. So I've been slowly moving on from Nerf to other things. Another thing that happens as you get older is that your free time shrinks more and more. You get a job, and that's most of your free time gone already. When school is at it's peak, you will be lucky to have any time at all for your hobbies. So my advice for anyone who is not quite there yet is to enjoy it while it lasts, because you won't be that free for a long time again.

BTW I was on a trip to see some relatives, so that is why I was inactive for the past week or so. I imagine that was the case for some other people as well.

Also, about editing. Whatever works for you is the best way. I use the visual editor most of the time, because I can see what the page will look like when I'm done, plus it's quicker than the code for small edits. But there are some things that just can't be done with the visual editor, and need the precision that the code gives to make the page the way you want it. Before I knew what to do, I would always look at the way other pages were layed out and would copy/paste some bits of code. Nothing wrong with that! The part about getting older is not entirely true... When you get even older then you retire and you have plenty of free time. That's a lie. Elliott, come here. You are the oldest person here, right?

Tell him about it.
