Twist3d.net

Lately I have been working a lot on my friends racing website known as 3G Racing!

I just thought I would make a shameless plug and plug the awesome site I’ve been working on putting together for him!

What are you waiting for?

VISIT 3GRACING!!

For quite a while I’ve had VERY little lack of interest in Twist3d.net anymore as my visitors might of noticed.

I have been debating the idea of ditching Twist3d.net since nobody really visits it anyways but a bunch of spam bots, in fact this month so far I have received 24130 hits on my website but I almost bet a majority of them are spam bots.

Last month I had a total of 34662 hits on Twist3d.net and those have also been random hits by spam bots and spammers trying to gain access to my site.

Here is a chart of all the hits I got in 2009

As you can see Twist3d.net isn’t that popular anymore.

The main reason I have not closed down Twist3d.net is because I have over 300 accounts that I have linked to my e-mail address at Twist3d.net and I really don’t feel like changing them all to something else.

So I have a few options here and these are some ideas I had if I was to keep Twist3d.net alive.

1. Turn it back into a personal site
2. Turn it into a CMS and post random reviews and rants and raves.
3. Do nothing and leave it online as an old archive of what Twist3d once was.

PLEASE SEND ME YOUR THOUGHTS OR IDEAS IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ME TO KEEP TWIST3D.NET ALIVE!!

SIMPLY POST A COMMENT OR CONTACT ME. I will make sure to plug you in my next post..

Who here watches wrestling during the week?

Well if you do then you would know that WWE has always been on monday where TNA has always been on Thursday.

Well TNA announced last night that they are moving to Monday at 8pm which is the same time WWE is set to air. They are hoping that more people will tune into TNA than WWE and they will push WWE off the map.

Personally I believe it will be an epic fail because WWE has been around longer than TNA and I would never watch TNA over my WWE. I have watched WWE with my dad on and off when I used to live with my dad clear back before 1999 and it has become part of my life and what I do from time to time.

So who here is going to watch TNA over WWE or vice vs?

Leave me a comment and let me know! I will plug you in my next post!

Only got one comment to my last post. Oh well here are the plugs as I promised.

Give it up for the lovely Laarni! Over there at Laarnaay Boutique. Your awesome as always!

I wonder if Twist3d.net ever gets any REAL hits from REAL people or if it is all bots visiting this site.

If you are a real person visiting this site please leave me a comment and I will plug your site on my next post!

Thanks

I actually got back from Florida on Monday but I am not finally updating this site about my trip. For those who don’t know I kept my family and friends updated on my twitter page. I have posted photos from my trip on my Flickr Account for everybody to enjoy.

I really enjoyed going to Florida but it is a shame I couldn’t spend more time there. We are already planning our next trip to Florida where we will bring my son next time and visit Disney World in Orlando, FL.

In other news Toxic Host and Kustom Choice has joined forces and become one big site now known as Kustom Choice. Feel free to check that out and stay tuned for new services offered by Kustom Choice.

It appears Twist3d.net has been getting hit with spammers a lot recently. I have gotten over 20 spam comments in the past two days!

I have made significant changes to the way the comment system works to prevent future spam because I refuse to put up with this shit while I’m in Florida.

I have also banned the following range of  IP Addresses:

208.113.232.123  -  208.113.232.123
86.176.20.100  – 86.176.20.100
174.133.249.0  -  174.133.249.255
174.133.174.0  -  174.133.174.255
174.34.170.0  -  174.34.170.255

Most of them are over seas but one of them is from The Planet Data Center which puzzles me somewhat. Oh well they are banned now!

My Trip to Ft Lauderdale & Miami, Florida is approaching fast!

Even though I probably won’t get the chance to do much during my short trip, I will at least get to see the ocean and see the whole Florida experience first hand. We are leaving on Jan 28th and will be flying back on Feb 1st, which doesn’t leave us a lot of time to do much of anything except a little exploring.

I’m sure I will love it down there and it won’t be too long before I plan another trip down here for an extended period of time. I will be sure to share some photos from my trip with my readers (if I even have any readers lol).

If you would like to keep informed of stuff happening on my trip to Florida then tune into my personal twitter page!

With much regrets I have decided to quit playing Aion Online but before I do I wanted to share a short review of my opinion of Aion Online.

In order to make my review easy to understand I broke it down below for my readers.

The Good:

1. Fast and Easy to level up.
2. Has many great features like Auction House (called a broker in game), Private Stores, and a Mailbox system.
3. The armor is pretty unique looking and only looks better as you level up (expecially the abyss gear).
4. Never ending quests so there isn’t any gaps in leveling up like other games such as Age of Conan.
5. Lots of Instances throughout your career.
6. Lots of tradeskills and skills to learn.
7. Lots of crafting quests where you can gather supplies and turn in for xp or rewards.
8. Interesting skills and light shows when using skills.
9. New flight combat and flight PVP Combat.

The Bad:

1. Everything in game after level 10 is super expensive and you will be grinding for hours to raise enough money to buy anything or end up buying Kinah (gold).
2. Everywhere you go you will get ganked at some point by higher level chars constantly while leveling.
3. Almost has too many quests between level 20-30. You will find yourself jumping around 3 different areas so your not getting behind on quests.
4. Abyss Gear is overpriced, and getting into a good HELPFUL  legion appears impossible till higher levels.
5. Lack of players to team up with for group instance quests so chances are you will skip them entirely.
6. Leveling up tradeskills & crafting takes forever and is more like a full time job.
7. Learning new spells and skills are overpriced.
8. Chances of you buying your level 30 wings at level 30 are not likely. Same with your level 40 wings at level 40. Most players can’t afford this stuff till max level unless you buy ninah.
9. You don’t get anywhere close to the inventory space that you do in other game such as World of Warcraft. I actually ended up starting a legion just for the extra legion storage space it gives you.
10. You don’t get very long flight times and will often find yourself using potions often.

There are probably more things I could add to these lists but as I said before this is a short review of the game from what I have experienced.

My reasons for quitting the game tie into many of the above listed under “The Bad”. My main reasons for quitting though is the fact that EVERYTHING is overpriced and I get ganked every too seconds in the abyss while farming or leveling and since there are no spawn points other than in the main town I have to spend 20 mins flying back just to get ganked again!

Time to renew World of Warcraft again where I can play without getting ganked by 10 year old kids & losers with no life every 2 seconds.

Happy New Year Everybody!!

I hope 2010 holds many great things for everybody!
