How about easier questions for the registration questions.

[Urayne]

i was trying to make a new account, but the damned questions you have to answer are f***ing hard as it late collage stuff.

how about using captcha or easier questions.  the damned thing pissed me off... >:(  and the "type this in caps three times"  isnt possible because the  answer exceeds the letter limit.  seriously.  get ur s*** together...

Why were you trying to make a new account..? If there are issues they obviously need to be fixed, but you shouldn't be alt-accounting.

[Simping For Hina]

You have to answer questions?

[Dova]

[spoiler=Example Question]A 58 kip articulated bus with a frontal area of 63 ft^2 travels at a velocity of 65 mph on a freeway section with a given grade of 3.26%. Assuming that the density of air is 0.002378 slug/ft^3 and drag coefficient is 0.51, calculate the total resistance in lb to nearest whole number.

 

 

Captcha doesn't seem like a bad idea, if we can do it.

Is this actually it?

 

What the funk, Sakura, this is Easter all over again.

Holy hell, I am so glad I joined when I was 14 and this sheet doesn't exist now. I would not be on this site.

A water pipe outside Nick Wilde's residence in Zootopia passes fluid through a 20-in pipe with a velocity of 11 ft/s. Assuming the density of the water is constant (62.43 lb/ft^3), determine the volumetric and mass flows through this apparatus. Round to nearest whole numbers and write units (denote exponents with [ ^ ], space your answers with a comma). [EX: 100 m^3/s, 210 kg/s] ”

 

Ok so we know who made these questions, but we don’t know why it’s not just “write this in lowercase”

[The Nyx Avatar]

Is this actually how it's like?

 

If so, that's horrible.

 

I remember when I made this account in 2014 it was mostly just username, password, email, and capcha.

Honestly I wonder if people didn’t realize you could just ctrl + R for a new question and didn’t even bother doing the math

[Tourmaline]

I support all forms of eugenics:

 

With our knowledge of the complete unalterability both of character and of mental faculties, we are led to the view that a real and thorough improvement of the human race might be reached not so much from outside as from within, not so much by theory and instruction as rather by the path of generation. Plato had something of the kind in mind when, in the fifth book of his Republic, he explained his plan for increasing and improving his warrior caste. If we could castrate all scoundrels and stick all stupid geese in a convent, and give men of noble character a whole harem, and procure men, and indeed thorough men, for all girls of intellect and understanding, then a generation would soon arise which would produce a better age than that of Pericles. -Based Schopenhauer :pray: @polaris

I was able to get past the registration questions. They're not impossible.

[Nathanael D. Striker]

I'm honestly glad that I don't need to make a new account (for Halloween especially) as I don't think I'd be able to easily solve those physics stuff. Hell, I couldn't really do so during Easter. I agree what they need to be easier, but there has to be a balance for keeping spambots out.

[Ryusei the Morning Star]

Yeah, but most people who want to join aren't gonna wanna solve a fluid dynamics problem first

[Fusion X. Denver]

Are there really registration questions like that?

Could that also have something to do with the lack of new members?

It should just be putting your email in and then using a Captcha or something. If there's a way to edit or remove those, we need to get on that asap.

[xlArisenRoselx]

Yes, the registration questions are like that. My friend Izumi Katashi tried to sign up multiple times, and any time he was given a question like that, he reloaded the page for a new question. There's even a question that goes like this:

 

"How many posts does it take to recieve the 'Ragnarok' Title on this site?"

 

I wanna know how a new member would know that, when most of us don't know the answer to that one!

[~ P O L A R I S ~]

For anyone reading this who wants to join the site, refresh until you get the Ragnarok question for which the answer is 50,000. It was named for ragnarok1945, the only member here to achieve a post count that high. He was also permabanned, go figure. 

[Sleepy]

What the heck?!

That question got a laugh out of me, as in "that can't be serious"....

I wanna try it out just to see the questions.

I'm sure glad I just needed my username, password, an email, and nothing else when I joined back in 2008.

 

I understand questions existing but really, if you have to raise the bar that high for bots that you make it too high for actual members, that's an issue that's got to be addressed.

[Ryusei the Morning Star]

I would rather have bots get through that piss off 90% of the population with a college physics question

[LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow]

Not to mention that people might not think to refresh so they could see the question and just give up on it. I don't know how bots work but surely there's simpler ways to stop them.

[Yui]

That's what he changed them to? Sakura, what the funk? This is marketed as a children-friendly forum so you make the security questions college physics? No wonder we haven't been getting new members; nobody can funking solve the security questions. Seeing as the target demographic for YGO, and therefore YCM, is children - probably in elementary or middle school - college-level security questions are unacceptable, and you should have known that much when you changed them. I have some additional comments on the matter, but I will save those for a PM.

I feel like a variable is missing here, assuming it's a straight pipe that does not change altitude

 

VF = Volume of Fluid * Velocity of Fluid = V/t= A * L/t= Av

 

v= 11 ft/s=132in/s, unless 20in refers to diameter, you can't solve this equation 

 

Pi*(10 in)^2*132=41469.0230274 in^3/s

In sakura's defense, he could have made it a lot worse, having it be an inclined pipe with a compressible fluid would have made it college level physics, as it stands, it's like middle school level

[Hallohallo]

Perhaps counting ATK/DEF/LP in the future will be more complex?

 

Yu-Gi-Oh! is evolving rather fast.

I mean fluid dynamics became important the minute revival jam was created

[Sleepy]

I took the liberty of sampling out the questions I got. In case anybody is curious on what an average difficulty of them actually would look like.
Though I mostly haven't really read them in detail, I skimmed through them enough to more or less not get repeated ones in the shot.

[Hallohallo]

There are like 4 questions related to YGO.

 

And writing "Team Skull" in Japanese... are you serious?

 

This is beyond ridiculous.
