This site was established to exercise the first ammendment not just for the sake of doing so, but to speak out against POLITICAL CORRECTNESS, BEAUROCRACY, and especially CENSORSHIP.This site was established to say the things people think but never say, be it for fear of ridicule, or simple lack of understanding. This site was established to give the finger to paper pushers with no integrity. (You know, the kind that say “the policy says to follow the policy so we shall follow the policy.”) This site was established to expose the inauthentic concerns people fool themselves into thinking are important. This site was established to rebel against those who have authority but lack the capacity to use it. Oh, and this site was established to post videos and pictures of me and my drunken friends at parties.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: You spelled your own domain name wrong? What a jackass!
A: rennagade.com is a pun taken from my last name, spelled Renna. So no I did not register a domain with a misspelled word, its just a unique take on my last name.
Q: So is this what you do with your life? Post shit on a website all day?
A: Hardly. I graduated from East Stroudsburg University, in the Pocono Mountains of PA in May of 2006. Next stop: employment.
Q: Who are your influences?
A: Trey Parker & Matt Stone, Immanuel Kant, Henry Rollins, Martin Heidegger, Howard Stern, & Marshall McLuhan.
Q: So how long has this site been around?
A: rennagade.com was founded On June 2nd, 2001. For our first 9 months we were hosted by darkscape.net. I started out with basically an e/n site and things have piled on from there. On March 24th, 2002, rennagade.com relocated hosts. Interserver.net hosted us from March 2002 until December 2005. In January of 2006 we moved onto our own server, which we share with dwsdesigns.com.
Q: What are the minimum requirements for viewing the site?
A:
Any browser that’s not old as shit. I prefer Opera. Opera, however, handles tables worse than a kid fumbling with a brastrap on his first date. Since most of you use Internet Explorer, and IE is the most forgiving browser, we shouldn’t have a problem. If you use netscape you should crawl in a hole somewhere and die. And I think firefox/mozilla is for fags, but the site should work fine on those too.
1024 x 768 or higher resolution. And I’m serious about that. The site is viewable at 800×600, but that resolution is shitty, and with all the pictures I have on here that are that wide you should use something bigger. I view the site at 1280×1024 on my flat screen, and 1600×1200 on my CRT monitor.
Macromedia Flash Plugin. You all have it anyway.
Some flash content requires a 500 Mhz processor and above for optimal viewing pleasure
Video files need codecs so you can watch them. Most videos on this site use the DivX codec (download). A few files use Windows Media, which you shouldn’t have to download anything for. I will not encode any of my videos in RealOne or Quicktime format, however if I post a video done by someone else you may have to use those codecs.
Perhaps most importantly, a sense of humor. For example, when I propose that the tsunami victims repave their roads with their newest and most abundant resource, the bodies of their dead, use some common sense. Dead Asian bodies would make terrible pavement.
Q: How often is this site updated?
A: Whenever I feel like it. This could mean once a week, or once a month. It all depends on how busy I am. It also tends to revolve around how much trouble I stir up or what parties are going on.
Q: How many people visit the site?
A: After making every effort to eliminate hotlinking and other activity that balloons numbers, this site gets about 4000-5000 actual visits a month. The bandwidth we use goes from about 10-12 GBs per month. The total number of visitors since inception was lost a long time ago, but is definately over 150,000. (a modest number compared to other sites like fake xanga profiles of sHe_LoVes_2_mAsTurbate or Tickle_Meh_Hard, or you know like yahoo.)
Q: What do you use to edit the site?
A: Dreamweaver primarily, followed by notepad and pico.
Q: Ok, so I got on the message boards, and they’re pretty dead. What’s the deal?
A: Yeah they don’t get used that much really, but at least if anything really needs to be discussed they’re there.
Policy/Legal
By accessing this site you agree to the following terms and conditions. If you do not agree with these terms and conditions then get the hell out! This section is lengthy, so I’ll highlight some main points:
- It is rennagade.com policy not to remove posts at the requests of others, or because they are offensive to any particular individual, group, affiliation, race, sex, or religion. Censorship is for ignorant Christians or politically correct paper pushers.
- rennagade.com realizes you can freely steal our code, articles, pictures, videos, and flash movies, no matter what it says in the little text at the bottom. That’s the way the Internet works. If you want to steal it, you’re going to steal it. If you put it somewhere else on the internet and claim it as your own, rennagade.com reserves the right to take credit for such content and tell you to go fuck yourself. Furthermore, If you copy an article off this site and hand it in for a class, you’re a lazy douche. If the professor googles your paper it will bring them right back to this site. Again I reserve the right to take credit for my own ideas and tell you to fornicate yourself with a splintered broomstick.
- Any parallels with FICTIONAL content on my site and real life are purely coincidental
- If it is your birthday and I like you just tell me and I will put up a picture of a basset hound with a party hat on the front page with your name.
- If you upload, post, or otherwise transmit content to the Web site, e-mail anyone on the rennagade.com domain, or communicate via IRC or any form of communication not already specified to the webmaster or even a reader of rennagade.com, you acknowledge that any such submissions may be edited, removed, modified, published, transmitted, and displayed by rennagade.com in any medium now existing or hereinafter invented, and for any purpose, including commercial uses. You waive any moral rights you may have in having the material edited, removed, modified, published, transmitted, or displayed in a manner not agreeable to you.
- If you strike me down I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine
Forum Specific Policy (borrowed from SA forums)
- Posting any image which is longer than one screensize (800 horizontal or 600 vertical) will result in a warning followed by a ban. As much you think everybody loves to see an image which causes them to spend 15 minutes scrolling, people really don’t care for it and it’s not funny. At all.
- Posting that you’re leaving our forum for good will result in a ban, since you obviously don’t need to use your account again. This is to catch all the pathetic attention whores out there.
- Whining about a banning will result in your banning. This is a private forum and these rules are limits on what can be done by its participants.
- Any form of moderator harassment including insults, doing the opposite of something you were asked to do, reposting a thread that was deleted, will result in a ban. Just don’t piss off the mods.
- If you do not agree to these rules, you’re free to no longer visit the rennagade.com forums. If you do not like these rules, please do not register an account; it will be better for all parties involved. Remember: these are private forums.
- “Image Macros” sometimes find their way from SA forums into our forums. You should know that credit is due to various SA goons for these macros, which is almost impossible to credit other than for me to point out right here that almost all of them have originated at the SA forums. Having given that credit upfront right here, I will allow SA image macros where applicable. Overuse will result in bannage.
