What restrictions are on the free version of Fraps?

It will only record 30 seconds at a time, plus you get a fraps.com watermark.

The full version is $30, right?

I may get it soon.

It's either 37 dollars or alternate acquisition.

...Or you can just give him the link to the pirated version that you gave to NFX.

He didn't give me the link. He posted it in a thread a while back, but the post got deleted. I just happened to take the opportunity before the mod squad arrived. =]

If you consider yourself a serious video maker, it's a small investment considering how much mileage you'll get out of it.  I paid for a new copy when I got my sister's old laptop rather than pirate it again.

Indeed.
 
Also Sonny, I have to say that I liked the Rammstein rep from the No Wins Championship. With a better power source more adapted for taking on yellow Welsh robots with lifting forks, it's certainly proving its worth there.

I can post there :/

Ya, for some reason I can't fathom, members with "Roboteer" status get all sorts of cool toys that Advanced Users don't, such as the rep buttons.

Indeed- and I'm still waiting to become an AU. Probably some reasons for not being so already, but hopefully next time the elections come round, my time will come.

What makes you think you deserve AU status?

If I'd had musical tools, Pyrotechnics and a backing Latin Choir, I'd sing a Villain Song about it. Still, there's a couple reasons. They persist mainly in the fact that-
 
- I've been around longer than several users on here (Initially joining in 2007)
- Actively contributed wherever I've been able to
- Had a reasonable degree of tournament success
- Am quite skilled at Stock Building
- Hold a good degree of respect amongst several of the younger users
- And you've got to admit, I have improved in terms of behaviour over time, don't you think?
 
So yes, not saying that I definitely should have it, but I do think that I should be considered for it next time the voting comes around.

Signup time can be misleading, GF93 actually became a "regular" in 2009 (I think), after he realised he didn't need to sign up to download the stuff. I joined in August 2009, but became a regular in around April 2010. It's not about how long you've been here, it's about the quality of your contributions to the boards. I was only a "regular" for around eight months before I was awarded AU.

[Meganerdbomb]

I came back after an absence of more than a year to find out I'd been awarded AU. 

[Sage]

I skipped AU and went to veteran when we switched forums. still took me 2 years or so

[Meganerdbomb]

The old forum didn't have any special ranks IIRC. (Except Mods and Admins, of course.)

That must have been a pleasant surprise. =D
 
The point is, you don't want to be going off-topic too much, or generally acting stupid, because that tends not to go over too well with the powers that be. Also, for some added irony, those who ask for AU tend not to get AU.

[Sage]

True! But still I wasn't as good as some of our AUs are when i got veteran.

[Meganerdbomb]

I'm pretty sure at this point everyone would agree you've earned it. You're a hellava lot better than I ever was.

Anyone got any idea what this "The Citadel" school is or why they want anything to do with someone like me?
