Doesn't sound like a tall order to me. Driving stick is easy, and FD's can be had for under 20K. smile.gif

I might just end up getting a FR-S. Or I might just wait for the price to go down. But for now, looking at cars gives me heart pangs of jealousy. Now stop rubbing it my face, it isn't cool! derp.gif

The way inflation has gone, 20 thousand US dollars isn't worth nearly what it was a couple years ago. Go get an FD.

DO IT! DO IT NAOW! GET TO THE CHOPPAH!!!

20k is still a lot of money. A lot of money I don't have the chances of having anyone loading me money to buy a car is very low at this time. I'm still being optimistic though.

We don't have the privilege of being close to Japan, and using the same had cars.

I could probably get an RHD ( japanese market ) FD for under 10K, but it'll need work, and insurance companies will not want to touch it.

20K will get you a decent LHD FD.

@Lena, I would teach you to drive stick, but the distance is prohibitive. sad.gif

Aw Möbius! That's so kind of you. I would love to take you up on that offer, but as you said, distance. I'm sure I can teach myself stick shift. All I need is a car. Easier said than done now huh? I'm hoping by the end of the year, if not I'll resign myself to driving an automatic for the rest of time! for now.

Oh, sorry boss! Ok then, there's something that needs a bit of changing here since it sounds weird:

  • There are no confirmation on the number of episodes in Fifth Stage yet. (It will most likely be 24 and takes one year to air.)


I would probably change it to:

  • There is no confirmation on the number of episodes in Fifth Stage yet. (It will most likely be 24 and take approximately one year to air.

Why search strings must have a lenght of at least 4 characters? Is this to pretend high server loads?

Probably, yes. What would require less than 4 characters?

What question are you talking about? "What would require less than 4 characters"? I took that as "What words would one search for that include less than 4 characters in them?"

'What [search] would require' implies not only the use of a word, but also the reason behind searching for such a word. The need to search for such a word.

If you were looking for a sentence that included that word, you could just use quotations to make it an exact phrase--thus exceeding the minimum.

Anything below that threshold will generally be too vague for the search engine to come up with anything reliable, meaning it would just spit out hundreds of pages at you to comb through.

Not only words like OK or yes but also kanji characters like 日本語 or when you look for answers when you saw strings like [#] and you want to know what they mean.
I didn't know that you simply can bypass the limit with quotation marks. Thanks for the hint.

The thing about kanji is true enough, but this is primarily an English-speaking forum. Optimizing the search for other languages would be kinda silly.

However, I'm confused as to what you meant by 'strings like [#] and you want to know what they mean.' Huh? What does that mean? blink.gif

Dunno If you mean the grammar of the sentence or the meaning of [#]. I saw some folders on C1RZA's ftp server that have a [#] suffix. Since I didn't know if someone already asked what they mean I wanted to search the respective thread by the string [#] instead reading every page.

The grammar of the sentence was confusing, or perhaps it was just the lack of context that made it confusing. Still, that's a very insignificant sort of search in the grand scheme of things, so keeping it where it is is probably best.

Is it forbidden to paste content from a thread into another thread? I don't see a related rule in the forum guidelines. If it would only be forbidden for contents that contains offensives, member fights or flames shouldn't there be a rule to clarify that?

How many quotes of quoted quotes are allowed until it counts as spamming?

There is nothing stopping members from quoting from other threads. Just make sure to notify that it's from another thread so members don't waste our time with "REPOST REPOST WARN WARN WARN" messages.

There is no limit to quotes. We wouldn't count it as spamming until we found that it was being abused (quoting the entire thread without reason, for instance).

This. Really, just use common sense and your own judgement. If you're not sure if you've put too many sub-quotes in, just spoiler the whole thing to save page space.

English is my second language, so you unfortunately have to deal with bad grammars and missing contexts.
