Couple days old, but just thought i post it.
BeautifulPeople.com , which claims to have a strict ban on "ugly people", said "vigilant members" called for drastic action after users posted photos of themselves celebrating Christmas and the New Year - revealing they had "let themselves go"."We responded to complaints by moving the newly chubby members back to the rating stage. This is the same as having them re-apply," said Greg Hodge, the managing director.
Most of those expelled came from the US and Canada, but nearly 900 were from Britain.
The social networking site, which boasts 550,000 members worldwide, allows its members to decide on who should be allowed to join.
Admission to the site is only allowed after others already accepted vote on a photograph of the applicant and a brief profile.
Members of the opposite sex vote "Yes definitely", "Hmm yes, OK", "Hmm no, not really" and "NO Definitely NOT" to decide who is allowed into the site.
Mr Hodge said the "festive fatties" had become an annual problem.
"Every year we see that some of our members from western cultures eat and drink to excess over the holidays and clearly their looks suffer," he said.
"The USA has been grossly over-indulging since Thanksgiving - it's no wonder that so many members have been expelled from the network. We hope they will be back after shedding the festive pounds.
"In the UK and Canada, Christmas and the New Year are all about over-eating, over-drinking and watching TV on the sofa."
In an attempt to soften the blow to those given the boot, the website sent details of fitness centres where they could work off their holiday excesses.
Robert Hintze, founder of BeautifulPeople.com, said: "As a business, we mourn the loss of any member, but the fact remains that our members demand the high standard of beauty be upheld.
"Letting fatties roam the site is a direct threat to our business model and the very concept for which BeautifulPeople.com was founded."
I'm really not into the whole "Dating people online" thing. Infact, i don't even believe in dating people online. However, i find this to be abit shocking, the thought of kicking off half of your userbase simply because they're "fat" or just not good looking to be alittle rediculous for those that are looking to date people online. Also, whatever happened to "it's the inside that counts and not the outside", seriously?
What are your thoughts on this? Do you think the website owner made the best decision for his/her site in order to iconicly meet standards for their beautifulpeople.com, as the name of the domain implies?

Have any of you even tested this build? im recieving an error over here.
EDIT
Nevermind, i solved it.
... By installing DirectX11 of course ! ! ! (this can help other friends).
Actually it just needs a DirectX End-User Runtime update. But, if DX11 worked for you, glad to hear on your behalf.

From what i've seen, Yammy Seems more wreckless now than he has ever been. In addition to that, it would appear his appearance has slightly changed within the last chapter, which might hint that he's actually alot more stronger than the top 3 espada.
Also, anyone surprised that tousen is a vizard?

Yey, re-congratulations on your re-affiliate

Well, that was certainly a waste of money.
It was only missing a jesus dollar bill.

New york is one of those locations..
I think CISCO is great, but admittedly it can get frustrated from time to time. 5yrs ago i took some training in cisco, i did terrible on a few exams and then i dropped out because i thought "college is the better thing in life" and because I just didn't know anything about binary or hexidecimals at the time, i sure do regret it though... Would have been nice to be certified.

Well, atleast we're able to have swords, shame we can't pull'em out in public.

This is so alien for me, what is this? and what am i suppose to be seeing?
-
...And i see the thread title has suddenly become misleading.

I find that to be shocking, especially in Washington DC. Furthermore, i never realized their were slum areas in washington. I thought only New York had these attributes.

Nevermind, I opened it up and noticed that a very small chip melted off the motherboard and it actually cracked when i touched it and dissolved into small pieces, looks like this 360 is finally dead.

Well here's the scoop, I recently J-tagged my xbox 360 and it worked for a week, the mod turned out fine. But my xbox, which is a xenon has suffered from the rrod twice this year earlier in march and now in october. I have re-applied arctic silver, added the xclamp mod, used a heat gun the first time, but got worried so i resorted to a blow dryer and it turned out working fine. But now the problem is back and this time it happened in the middle while i was playing Super mario all-stars.
I did make a short video of the rrod in action, nothing special (i guess). Any suggestions from anyone here would be greatly appreciated.

What game is that mii playing btw? Mario Kart? I can't remember which one was it.

Indeed, whatever happened to Mooney..
Well, looks like they blew the moons face up, now we will see what will come of it.. I hope they find their moon spit..

The thing needs dual analog sticks and possibly some rumble. The only thing it seems to be good for is homebrew and emulation.

I haven't touched my wii since february when i was working on a frontend loader for a wii disc dumper.
Will definately try this out once i have more time.

Just for moon water? the first person who drinks will either be immortal, famous, poisoned and purified enough to cure any type of disease...
Seriously, bombing the moon just for some water? Someone is too thirsty..

Well that's true, after all it does mention in their tou that they can terminate accounts for just about any reason they see fit. Now, im unable to tell if users actually pay some kind of membership fee in order to use the service, if they do pay some kind of fee, then this would make them wrong, especially by not providing a re-fund to those accounts that were deemed as "ugly people".
In any case, the website has proven that they have their integrity clearly set in the area of making a profit off of superficial looking people.
I'm also betting many average looking people would actually question themselves if they're good looking or not before registering now.
