Site FAQ (also, DONATIONS, BUGS and REQUESTS)
 
Welcome to Negative World. If you have any question, please read the following list and click to read an answer. If your question isn't in the list or if you have a suggestion, feel free to post a reply.

To be able to add more questions/answers to the list later, your participations to this thread will eventually be deleted to make room, after they've been answered.

Donations

Currently, the site doesn't bring in much money, and it costs about $85 a year to keep up. Not a whole lot, but the owner of this site isn't particularly rich, so every bit helps. Also, the web designer spent a lot of time and work to implement skins, navigation layout, make the site work quick and neat, and implement the options you asked him, all this instead of doing a paid professional site. The more you support the site, the better it'll run and the more potential its future will have.

Now, the FAQ...

What are the round icons at the corners of the site?

What is the Neverending Experience Quest?

It's only two. THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX.

Oh there, finally. That's so devious! I had to look up that series since I'm not very familiar with it. Thank you, though.

Stage 4 was also no fun since I never played that game. After a couple of incorrect guesses I figured it must be a trick question, but that didn't help much so it was still guesses.

@Mop it up I've been stuck on Stage 8 for two years.
03/13/12, 02:52   
Woo! I did it! Pretty fun little game, are there going to be more levels? Some of them are pretty clever.

Yeah, 8 was a thinker. The game didn't look familiar, so I had to guess through it.
03/13/12, 07:45   
@Mop it up Can you give me a useful clue for Stage 8?
03/13/12, 08:02   
Am I allowed to give clues? I don't want to break any rules.
03/13/12, 08:12   
Use the NEQ thread to discuss the NEQ! No giving answers away though. Minor clues are ok I suppose. Answers... nope!

Negative World does not recognize Daylights Savings Time? That can't be right..

Monster Hunter scheme just got messed up. Where has my Lagi gone? Zero, are you deleting pictures again?
03/22/12, 23:43   
@Mr_Mustache Works for me.
03/22/12, 23:57   
@Zero

Maybe its in your Cache...

I've got a broken image deal up there. I'll sign out and come back in.
If its good, I'll let you know.

EDIT-
I cycled through all of the other wallpapers, and now it is magically back.

It's not magic, your Internet must have just been wonky for a bit or something. I wasn't even touching the site today!

When is the Ladies of NW calendar coming?
03/23/12, 02:24   
...what ladies? There is helium who no one has ever seen and I gather that she prefers it that way (not commenting on her looks, just saying, she seems to like her privacy.) And then there is Snorlax and your wife, and your wife doesn't really post much.
03/23/12, 02:31   
@Zero

She doesn't post because the calendar shoot hasn't been scheduled.

WickedSymphony is tearing up Fire Emblem right now, Shirl'll be on here sometime, TK_Thunder, uhh, there are more! Youuu should know.

--FINE, when are the GUYS of NW getting a rad calendar? For Charity (or your pocket), of course! Nerd women all over the country(ies) will love it. LOVE IT.

On the Monster Hunter skin, there's a broken image at the top right...
03/23/12, 06:37   
Looks fine to me. Post a screenshot?
03/23/12, 07:51   
It's fine now. But for half an hour there, it wasn't.
03/23/12, 07:55   
Ah HA!

..I wonder who the other 8 are....
03/23/12, 10:01   
The other 8 what?! Monster Hunter skinners?

@Guillaume Were you serious or just pulling my chain? Hmm. Whatever the case, it's tough to troubleshoot a sometimes disappearing graphic. It was probably just a server glitch of some sort.
