I was laughing, I was agreeing, I was feeling nice and superior.
Then I was like, hey . . . I asked that stupid question before!
That made me laugh harder. I'm still squeegying the floor from the
gout of Guiness that came hurtling out of my nose.
Oh, the humanity. |

Another alternative for the logout would be to cut the phone line between the computer and the wall. 
Tahnks again for this FAQ. I am having a ball reading it.

True, Jk, but I don't think anyone needing this FAQ should be handling sharp instruments.  |

Someone came into our 3d classroom and stole the projector... they left the power cable there and simply cut the one that connects to the computer. This is what happens when idiots get ahold of sharp objects. |

best case scenario is they take care of themselves with the sharp instruments. then these FAQ's would not be needed.

Hey Cocles, you should correct your faq now that we don't lose our request if we ask too soon.

We don't??? Heck why have I been waiting for an hour here then...
Oh well..
And here's another one for the faq : "Everyone is ignoring my nickname, and is now using another name some jerk made up to address me, and I don't like it. What do I do?
A: make a new account?

Yay! Updates and new questions added to the faq. Try not to wet yourself! 
And for you guys to lazy to to hunt them down in the faq itself, here are the new additions...
Q: Come on you gotta have some other trick to listen?
A: Alright, ALRIGHT... you read this far I'll give you my own personal cocmeister trick for getting the stream to work. Copy the link to the stream then paste it into your player, THEN... (and here's the trick...) delete the "/listen.pls" portion of the link.
So instead of: http://194.235.129.84:18000/listen.pls
you'll load: http://194.235.129.84:18000
No guarantees, but it worked for me. Now get me a sandwich and consider yourself blessed.
Q: Now wait a minute, I've definitely seen the number of requests suddenly change. How does it do that if it's not dynamic?
A: That's Jeric logging on and manually changing the number of requests so you ungrateful sods won't have to wait too long to hear your song. Now say, "Thank you Jeric." ....good newbie.
Q: What's MP3Pro, and what the hell is Ogg?
Alright, good question. MP3Pro is the newest sound format from the makers of MP3. It's backwards compatible with MP3, so if you play the stream on a player that can't read MP3Pro you'll just hear a normal MP3 signal. Ogg (aka "Ogg Vorbis") is an entirely different broadcasting format. When streamed it's called IceCastv2, just as MP3Pro/Mp3 when streamed is called ShoutCast. Both MP3Pro and Ogg have better sound quality than MP3 and require a much lower bitrate. Arguments go both ways over which one sounds better (some purists even believe normal MP3 still sounds better). The nerds probably want me to point out that Ogg is open source, unlike MP3, which is lisenced buy a couple guys in Germany. Personally I like Ogg, but unfortunately I've heard IceCastv2 isn't as stable as ShoutCast. We'll just have to try it out and see.
Q: Why does Legolas care about his avatar SO much?
A: Because Leggy has an unhealthy crush on Orlando Bloom. He also doesn't know how to upload his avatar so grows quite upset whenever "Orlando" disappears, because of a dead link. (Update: Leggy has recently decided to wean himself off of Orlando by changing his avatar to a Lego version of himself... very punny indeed. He has also uploaded his avatar and credits this FAQ with placing him on his road to recovery. We're all rooting for you, Leggy.)
Q: How is the "SAR" in Sarbear pronounced?
A: It's pronouced "sar" as in "far", anyone who tells you otherwise is lying... including Sarbear. |

Here is a good question...
Q:WHEN THE HECK IS THERE GOING TO BE THE LINK FOR INFO ON THE REGULARS HERE. THE WHO'S WHO OF THE SST FREAKS?
A: because cocles is screwing around too much with his job  and because he never said he would do it.
AND...
Q:Why did leggy change his avatar again?
A: because rehab trys to teach you to substitute your addiction, he now is addicted to lego's.... |

Q: Why does the stream ask for a user name and password?
A: Sadistic SST Gnomes from the Netherlands. If you see one kill it (just make sure it's not Cal). The stream sometimes does this when it's down or sexually frustrated. Entering your SST Username and Password sometimes works. If not, I suggest yelling and shaking your fist. |
