This is meant to be a place where you can talk about anything without having to stay on topic. Feel free to ask questions, to talk about the things in your life you like to share with your fellow-members. Or just step inside for a while, have a coffe and a good chat!
You may feel free to post whatever you like as long as it is within the rules of the forum.
But if the conversation degrades to spam, you will be treated as though you are spamming anywhere else on the forum. This is a thread where you can relax and talk about personal things, but it is not to be used as an excuse to make pointless posts.
Please help to keep this alive and well and a place where we can meet and share.
Enjoy your stay here!!!

We had intended the coffee shop to be a nice place where people could talk about their daily activities and such, kinda like the Lurkers Lair on the Official Forums.
It didn't quite turn out that way though, people have been taking advantage of their freedoms in here, there has been a lot of spamming and even some flaming. We will not tolerate that any longer.
So unfortunately we've had to decide to increase the rules for this thread. Of course the normal forum rules still apply, but we'll elaborate here.:
1. No spamming.
We consider double posting and posting posts with only a few words to be spam. If you do that your post will be deleter or moved, do it too often and you might receive a warning for it.
We also consider chit-chat spam. This forum has a special chat channel for chatting, you're welcome to go there, and chat with other members or with the staff as we're always there, doing it in here is not allowed.
The address to that chatroom is:
W4O chat
And for assistence to use a chat like this, I recommend looking over this thread:
http://forums.waiting4oblivion.com/viewtopic.php?t=248
Or contacting one of the Administrators.
2. No discussion of accounts or warnings.
There shall be no more discussion about members, about accounts, about how many warnings you've gotten or anything like that.
3. No trolling.
No posting of random nonsense, no posting of irrelevant things, no posting the same thing over and over just to get it noticed, no swearing or flaming.
4. No religion or politics.
No discussion about religion or politics is to be had in these threads. If you want to discuss religion or politics, please do make another thread, or if another such thread already exists, please post in it.
If you have a question about the rules of the forums, feel free to ask it to either a Global Moderator or an Administrator.
If you're unsure if something is fit to post here, it might be. Again best to ask a Global Moderator or Administrator.
If you're wondering how we think a Lair or the Coffee Shop should look like, what we do allow, then I recommend taking a look at the Lurkers Lair at the Official Forums.

ShogunSniper, consider it a little bit of both

Oh and as a mater of interest, has anyone who watches Stargate SG-1 seen the last ever episode yet? If so, what did you think of it?

Not the very best, but a good one, and some more time together with the whole team!

I really am going to miss this show. Can't wait for the movies!

Corrupted Heart is technically a TES: Arena fanfic but since Arena is so old and barebones compared to its sequels, I get to make up just about anything I want.

I just tried out the Arena download,.......

......after two hours I am STILL in that freaking starter dungeon!!

My guess is that once you are in the water you can't climb the walls?

Not to mention it is sllllooowwww...just my lack of attention span I guess.

im so tired i had to retype won three times.

And I see that, as always, I am late to the party..... Anyways, mostly wanted to drop in to give my congrats to Planty on a successful defense. That is a huge hurdle.

Perhaps after sometime in May (when I finish teaching the class I took on), I will become more active and aware here. It isn't so much the class as the 160 mile round trip to and from the location.....

i totally live like an hour from pigeon forge.

Welcome, students, to science class, where your head will tear in half! LOL

Punnet squares- a graph/model that helps calculate probability of genotypes and phenotypes.
Alleles- the two versions of a single trait (dominant and recessive) each parent gives two alleles.
Genotypes- the alleles in code form (BB, Bb, or bb)
Phenotypes- the personality or phsyical traits that the alleles designate (dominant= brown furred rabbit recessive= white furred rabbit)
Homozygous- two alleles that are both dominant or recessive (bb or BB)
Heterozygous- two alleles that (Bb or bB)

*note: capitalized letters are dominant while lower-case are recessive....... I'm assuming you know what those mean*

Now imagine a square, devided into quarters that are square shaped. On parent's genotype is on the top, while the other is one the left. One allele is located above or beside a quarter square. Each pair of alleles (one from each parent) is a possible combination for the offspring.

A phenotype is determined by the combination of traits (an offspring with BB or homozygous dominant will be purebred brown fur. Another with Bb or bB will be heterozygous, the dominant allele covers up the recessive allele, so the offspring will be brown but not purebred. Finally an offspring with bb will be completely recessive and white furred).

Was that sufficient or mind-blowing?
