I have also noticed that some of the not so new members are rating post even if they don't post to the thread. If people read post that were interesting and rated the post they agree with or think the post has merit, then rate it even you are not involved in the post.
For those whom have done this to my post..I say thanks. Sometimes a pat on the back is better than $$$, isn't that why some of you are here ???
This is a discussion forum where we exchange ideas and logic. Sometimes this leads to a difference of opinion of the same, but a difference of opinion/logic doesn't make one person right and the other wrong. If this was wrong we would all drive Benz's, dress alike and so on....
Getting off of soapbox now...next speaker..
Something wrong with the ads? They don't read your posts...(?). And you got something agains the rating system as well? What's wrong with it? (And, no, please don't say that we 'mods' don't like it.)Quote:

Well, as long as we are engaged in heavy sarcasm, I just realized that you're totally correct, and that it would be best for you to leave before the vortex drags you down the crapper too.Quote:

We should be thankful to the community providers by ignoring the distrubance ads cause (and not the ads themselves). :thumb: :D ;)
... Next speaker please...

You will think you are on a 14,400 Modem...
With a 9:4 vote, I think that kind of speaks for itself...
I worry more about whether Mick has gone to the crapper (recently) than CG. It might improve his outlook on life.
From Exterminator:
At this rate I'm going(no post increase in the past 2 years....maybe 1 or 2), it's gonna take all of Eternity. :rolleyes:Quote:

Unless Brad lifts off the "no post count increase in Chit Chat forum" rule, I'm not gonna be able to make it. Darn! :mad:
From Tom:
Squirrelman/king/lord/god/fanboy/fangirl/emperor/overlord/judge/duke/knight/protector/earl, MiCk has always been part of us CodeGuru Royal Crappers. Among them is also Xeon. :thumb:Quote:

It'll be abnormal ONLY if MiCk is not a crapper!
Good day,

The quality of the topics discussed on CG has indeed decreased steadilly over the past few years. There are too manny "FAQ" questions, "Help me with my homework" questions and "I'm a lazy programmer" questions. And instead of being redirected/kicked they get a lot of answers. Which in turn generates more not-interesting questions. Which get answered ...
Just my 0.02$
which of course, is because of the reputation thing. people love seing green, especially light green...the more the better...unfortunatelly :(:(Quote:
