1. The Hipforums announces it first ever fundraiser. After nearly 30 years online, we must ask our members and guests to help support the website. Thanks to years of ongoing financial support of our members, advertisers and volunteer admin staff, we have been able to keep the forums alive.

    Now we must ask for help as available funds have all been used for our Internet server and other fees.

    So please donate any amount to our PayPal account donate@Hipforum.com to keep the site going. If we can get enough for a few months fees, we won't need to nag you again!

    You could also subscribe to the forums and get an upgrade to Supporter or Lifetime Supporter here

    You can dismiss this message by clicking on the X in the upper right corner.

    Just joined and saying Howdy. I retired from USAF (United States Air Force) in 1985, retired from computer programming (C/C++) in 2007, stayed home for one week before getting bored, then went to work part time at Wal-Mart, where I worked until last December 2011. Now I'm just keeping myself busy by playing a couple games on my computer (Dungeon Defenders and Diablo).

    If you are ever my way, don't stop on the highway in front of McDonalds near my home -- lots of car accidents. I totaled my new car there last September, so now I'm extra cautious when I drive past it.

    Oh, and my avatar isn't at all what I look like. I usually have my own custom avatar but couldn't see where I can upload a custom avatar on this site.

    Welcome.

    A custom avatar comes with becoming a site supporter.

    Being an old fart is a lot better than being a fresh, new fart...those ones tend to smell the worst.
