I've never expressed this online, but I can't stand it when people ring the doorbell or knock on the door. I actually disabled the doorbell for my house just because I find the entire concept annoying. After all, the only people who have ever used my doorbell have been unwanted pests on my...

I was reading a thread where a member who ignored another member clicked the show ignored content button in a quoted post and got upset with the member. Look, I understand the temptation to click that kind of button. After all, I've blocked many "relatives", old co-workers, and former "friends"...

Some of you may be aware that I had a cockatiel for years now. I got him when he was around 2 weeks and I used to visit him regularly whilst he was being hand-raised by a friend of mine who owns a bird shop. I was very close to this bird and spent a lot of my time with him. I even went as far...

I was adding new trophies in today when I realised that many of them have bland names like "3000 Reactions" You can see that the initial trophies I added in had fun names that reference memes, games, or peculiar things people in the industry have said. Like the one for 9000 messages is: It's...

This started off as a changelog post and then turned into a larger task over the course of the day. If you haven't noticed by now, some subforums are now gone and converted into prefixes. The reason @Impulse and I did this was simply because these sections were quite inactive and we don't want...

I bet all of you were surprised to see this! Yeah, I know it's been a while. I can't write these every month, but I wanted to write one toward the end the year as we've had so many great discussions here over the last few months. For those of you who don't know this, whilst Office Outlaw was...

Two years ago, I hit a point where I got fed up with going the extra mile for people who, quite frankly, didn't deserve it. I did far too much for others in my personal life, in my last job, and with clients of my business. In regards to my clients, I always made sure that I over-delivered and...

As all of you are aware of, we've been focusing on re-working The Tribunal section. This is actually part of the work we're doing on the Trading Post because we want to ensure that we can properly handle disputes between traders and customers here should any arise. Anyway, we've made an...

I'm posting a suggestion of my own. Content doesn't get reported here often, but as the forum grows, I thought it might be helpful for members to be able to see if a post has been reported either by themselves or by another member of the community. When the report is resolved or rejected, the...

We've added a new feature in for those of you who are Sapphire, Platinum, and Founding Members. This new feature allows members to view the history of threads they've read. There are two ways to get to this: The direct URL, which is simply: https://officeoutlaw.com/history/ As you can see...

Here on Office Outlaw, we have an "Outlaws Recently Online" widget. This works similarly to features on other sites that display members who are online in order of recent activity, but with a few additional features: If you log out, you'll still appear in the list for the next week. Instead of...

As of Xenforo version 2.3.0, members can now send themselves a direct message. This feature is handy whether you want to send yourself a reminder or you're just feeling lonely on a Friday night and need to talk to yourself. To start a self-direct message, simply just click the "Send DM" button...

I was watching YouTube on my TV when I came across this video. This one is for California specifically, so I checked the government site and was surprised to see I could make a claim for a savings account I had from 2019 that was closed due to inactivity. I made the claim already, but...

We've made some progress toward re-working the Trading Post this week. Below, you'll find a list of changes we've made to the Trading Post so far. Note that it's still not open to new submissions yet. 1. A Single Subforum For Listings Listings are all under a single subforum right now...

These are currently our rules on political discussions: I'm sure many of you have noticed we've been a bit lax about political remarks outside of the Sapphire and Platinum Saloons. I noticed many of you have been able to handle at least making political remarks with the threads devolving into...

For those of you who didn't know, @Impulse and I had mixture of both regular pets, special needs animals, and rescue animals. We started off just getting pets, but when we saw had the means to take in animals that had been abused or required special care, we started making accommodations for...

This is just a quick share as it’s something I came across when I was looking over an Amazon product today. There was a customer video review for the product that was uploaded for the product. The makers of the product used the video as part of their main gallery of images, but this did get me...

Just a quick announcement there's some scheduled server maintenance on Thursday, October 2nd at 12AM PT that'll last until 4AM PT. If you'd like to know what this is in your local time, use this converter here. There should only be about 30 minutes or so of intermittent downtime between these...

For those of you who don't know this, I've been gathering information since 2018 and writing a book since 2020 about the black hat IM industry. I actually mentioned this briefly on BHW on June 24, 2020. Well, I'm finally looking to self-publish it! Writing a book is one of those things that's...

@Impulse and I finished a 16 mile hike about 5 hours ago. It took us about 8 1/2 hours to complete as we ran into some hiccups with a couple of the trails. It was a bit of spur of the moment thing, but I was watching this YouTube video the other day where some guy jogged 12 miles every day for...
