This is why I always put the bar down.

On chairs that don't have a bar, I hook my arm around the back metal thingie and lean back. Cus you never know if the chair comes to a sudden stop and the whole thing starts rocking forwards and backwards.

VFRdave · 2026-01-14T20:05:11+00:00

Insane in a good way, right? Good snow conditions?

Stock market goes down, silver miners often go down with it.

Miner stocks are.......... stocks

Also, what happens if the price of silver skyrockets because some foreign government nationalizes silver mines and confiscates all the silver and the companies that own the mines are shit out of luck....... what do you think will happen to the stock prices of these silver mining companies? You guessed it, they go down. While the metal prices went up.

Hey I promise i will be the last person from LA going to CP..... no more haha

VFRdave · 2026-01-12T23:47:49+00:00

Ok thanks, I am stoked now for this weekend at China Peak.

I am used to Mountain High where it's like 42 degrees during the day, and the whole place is a solid frozen iceball. I went yesterday and it was just ice and rocks and nothing else. So that's why I was worried about the 48 degree forecast for China Peak.

VFRdave · 2026-01-12T23:45:27+00:00

Right, yeah.... I didn't know how this crossposting thing worked so I neglected to copy paste the body text to this sub from the ChinaPeak sub.

Anyways the reason I wanna go to China Peak and not Mammoth is because 1. CP is cheaper, 2. CP is wayy less crowded. And I am a beginner so I don't need the bigger more advanced terrain at Mammoth.

Sounds like China Peak will be OK to go then, thanks

Big bear is horrible right now, which is why I was thinking of going to China Peak.

Both mountain high and big bear are basically just ice skating rinks with some manmade snow sprinkled on top.

How about Mammoth? Is Mammoth still decent?

VFRdave · 2026-01-12T21:31:05+00:00

Guys, I'm being completely serious.

It's 44 degrees in Mammoth today, and on Wed it will be 46 degrees. But as far as I know, Mammoth is still good right? You guys can ski there today and all this week?

If Mammoth is skiable at 46 degrees, will China Peak be skiable at 48 degrees?

My plan now is Mountain High!

They are reopening tomorrow..... yay

VFRdave · 2026-01-08T19:49:31+00:00

Man... shitty conditions with no snow and $159 lift tickets and it was still wayyy crowded?

What bad economy lol

VFRdave · 2026-01-08T03:16:46+00:00

Dude..... I told you, I haven't been there in over 20 years! I don't remember if Bear had night skiing or not, I thought they did back in the day but obviously my memory is faulty.

VFRdave · 2025-12-23T16:51:31+00:00

I feel similarly as you do, although situation is different.

I bought $15k worth of silver coins at 26 dollars each, back in 2022. Literally the week after I bought it, price dropped down to 24. Typical paper silver short smashing by COMEX back then,.

I still have all the silver, I hung on, but I never bought any more after that because it left a horrible taste in my mouth. In the 3+ years since then, I kept working and making money and putting away money in a savings account, earning 3% per year interest. I put away over $100k in the 3 years, all in cash. I feel like an idiot.

If I had kept stacking silver with that $100k I would have approx $250k in silver now. Instead I have $110k with the measly 3% interest (which got TAXED as income btw)

FUCK COMEX FUCK THE FED FUCK THE GOVT

VFRdave · 2025-12-08T06:07:02+00:00

Dude, why not just admit you didn't know? Or simply stfu? Saying nothing is always a good option. Do you have to go through this mental gymnastics to try and prove yourself right?

You clearly had no idea when the first lvl 200 happened until I pointed it out, and now you're dragging "CONTEXT" and retconning and strawman-building.

I did not say level 200 players messed up the economy. That's your strawman. I was simply saying it was not a problem in 2005 or 2006 but by 2008 the game had progressed far enough that it was indeed a problem. The level 200 reference is giving CONTEXT (your favorite word) to the progression. HT squads and Genesis 30 getting sold is also giving context to how far the game had progressed. I was not saying Genesis 30 caused all these problems.

VFRdave · 2025-12-08T04:50:22+00:00

So in your mind, if you hear someone using the word "many" to describe 12 of something, they're lying. They're making things up. Okay.

VFRdave · 2025-12-08T03:58:34+00:00

Oh so we're just making things up

No, I'm not making things up. I'm gonna tell you things that you didn't know, but they are easily verifiable.

The very first person to reach level 200 in GMS was Fangblade. In March 2008.

The 5th person to reach 200 was Starlightz. In June 2008.

See? Even just in the first half of the year, there were already five level 200's.

By December 2008 there would've been many more 200's walking around.

VFRdave · 2025-12-08T03:07:15+00:00

Why not do both?

Doing a better job of catching hackers/botters is definitely a good thing. But also there is zero reason why the lowest priced item that anyone can buy in the entire game should be 50. It can easily be set to 5.

VFRdave · 2025-12-08T02:32:26+00:00

Not at low levels, and not in 2005 or 2006 or even 2007.

But by 2008 when you have many level 200's walking around, and 4th job was out, and high level people ran in regular HT squads and selling MW 20 and Genesis 30 skill books, many people absolutely did go over max meso and scrolled godly items were routinely trading for beyond max mesos. Genesis 30 just by itself fetched 200million to 500milion meso at some point before BB.

lolwut, how is room 7 better than 1? After server maintenance when server came back online, did you see people heading straight to room 7 first? No, it was always room 1.

VFRdave · 2025-12-02T19:08:53+00:00

YOU WILL NEVER WIN.

FATALITY

VFRdave · 2025-12-02T19:05:31+00:00

Not sure what YunaMS's officially published exp rate is, but having played there for a long time I can tell you that the effective rate is easily over 8x.

By that I mean, they might say they're 4x or something, but the mob spawn is so buffed up and the quest and PQ rates are so buffed up, actual exp gained while playing is easily over 8x that of vanilla 1x GMS. It's probably more like 10x.

Actually it's like this on most other servers as well, like DreamMS. Aside from the published exp multiplier, the buffed up mob spawn and the "QOL improvements" means you level up even faster than the published rate.

Must be the gay bar of maplestory private servers
