• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Earthquake in Vegas!!

I felt was eating lunch and the counter moved. People looked at each other and asked "did that really just happen?".

  • “The heroes passed a village on their way towards the mountains.” That is equivalent to what SNOOPY said.

Also, your link states past refers to time.

Maybe we can agree on this one. Isn't it past your bedtime?:joke:
NoNoNoNoNoNoNo... :banghead:
Please read a little bit deeper into the definition of "Past"
There's a spot in there, where they refer to positioning of two things in relation to one another.
That is the applicable definition.
In your example above: once the heroes have passed the village; they are then PAST it... :thumbup:

Bob,

Believe whatever you'd like.

Past can be used as an adverb, adjective or noun. Passed is a verb in the past tense, which is the way SNOOPY used it.

No; he used it to explain a relative positioning of himself, and another point on the map...:banghead:. He most certainly did NOT use it in the manner that you've described.

“The heroes passed a village on their way towards the mountains.”
It’s common to see this written as:

  • “The heroes past a village on their way towards the mountains.”
But the word should be passed, as (in this sentence) it’s the past participle of the verb “to pass”. An easy way to tell is to rewrite the sentence in the present tense, as though you’re describing something which is happening currently:

  • “The heroes pass a village on their way towards the mountains.”
  • or “The heroes are passing a village on their way towards the mountains.”
However, if you wrote:

  • “The heroes walked past a village on their way towards the mountains.”

At least you are quoting from the link I provided. You say potatoes; I say tomatoes. And, never the twain shall meet.
