RM2k3 Title Screen Problem

I just realised that when I play test a game on RPG Maker 2003 v1.08, I don't have any graphics or BGM during the title screen. Tried re-installing but it didn't work. The game themselves run fine if you run them directly without opening RM2k3. Anyone know how to fix this problem?

London Riots

Anyone seen what's happening in London? This is my area, compared to what's happening elsewhere so far, it isn't that bad.

RMN's Font Size

It's been bugging for a while now but why is the default font size on this site so small? It strains my eyes so I always zoom in, it doesn't take much effort on my side to do that but still, it'd make the site look more legible IMO. Is there a good reason behind it like fitting all the text within a constricted space or is it because most people here wear (or want to wear) spectacles?

Email Address Visibility

Can we have an option to hide our email address please or at least make it spam proof; make it unsearchable using brackets or something?

Notices - Deletion, Clearing Up

I noticed on my notices that they are spanning several pages now. Is there a way to delete them? Surely it adds to the server load to keep notices from day one or is there an unseen limit up to page 11 after which the oldest ones get purged?

World of Goo Price Crash!

2D Boy: Games are letting you buy World of Goo for whatever price you want (minimum spend of $0.01/1p!).

World of Goo is a physics based puzzle / construction game. The millions of Goo Balls who live in the beautiful World of Goo don't know that they are in a game, or that they are extremely delicious.

The picture below is self-explanatory (click it for a direct link to the site).



Amazing deal for a great game!

What do you think? Personally, I'm indifferent as it won't be coming to the Western shores.

Keyboard Speed (WPM)

What's your keyboard typing speed? I average at 50 WPM although I can go to 60 but accuracy suffers a bit. I used Mavis Beacon before but nowadays just guage it from writing up reports and stuff.

It'd be good to compare WPMs with other RMN users, I'm predicting an average of 40-50.

You can use this:

Don't know if it's effective but it's Google's 2nd result.

Job Interviews

I've got my first interview in a long time for a community-based company as a Project Officer. I also volunteer there atm so the vacancy was internal and I applied thinking I've nothing to lose. However, it's based around working with young people (16-25) and I have no experience and I know for a fact that it'll be asked of me in the interview.

I know who my rivals are for the job and they seem to have jumped through the hoops more than me in terms of their career/education. I just don't know why I was selected, probably because I'm doing half the stuff anyway but does anyone have any tips on what to say to a question like "What sort of experience do you have working with youths?"
I know I can sizzle out but ugh, my mind is just blocked. :(

Also, what's the best thing to have before an interview? It's in the evening so I usually have tea then but I really don't think it'll do my gut any favours on the day!

Thanks for any comments/suggestions.
