Posting And You...

[Drunken Monkey]

I disagree with this one. When there's reasonably activity levels on a thread, it's difficult to determine whether your post is going to appear immediately after the one you're replying to.

I think you should consider repealing that quoting rule.

This (above) is an acceptable/correct way to quote someone so other readers know your context, without having to quote the entire text.

I'm still sore about being red-boxed for a non-violation of that rule.

someone kiss my ass and make me feel better, please.

Tsk. Ms Fish. As a newbie I should bring to your attention standards of behaviour regarding limp, naff Americanisms. I have a zero-tolerance for said, let it be known. As others may have preferences for low alcohol beer, I have a preference for the Great New Zealand Arse and the Brave Defenders Thereof. Yea, verily and tee hee!

I shall leave it for others to validate the kissability of your derriere...

There is an edit button. You can add/remove your quote after you posted.

also, space on the server? gimme a break. even if the server's using a RAID 1 SCSI array current prices would only put storage at about 14 cents a gigabyte

If I could buy my own hardware, ok. But I have to rent it. Getting a bigger HD would increase my monthly rental.

All hail Spankme for Spankme is God He hath bestoweth a new Commandment unto us. We must humbly obey lest we be bannished into ye sin-bin.


(yea I buggerd the spelling and the proper wording but you get the point.)

granted.

ah. I had some idea that it was one of those co-lo hosts where you spec a box and ship it to them and they just make sure it gets continuous network and power.

here's an idea. why not have a little graphic on a page somewhere showing the monthly server rental and bandwidth cost bill and the balance in a 'monthly rental etc' account. dedicated senior member types could paypal it up to scratch when they noticed it dipping.

of course thats a bit of work there and I'm sure you dont have endless spare time. i guess the populice should just make sure they dont forget to click on that front-page paypal button now and then.

There are a few of us who have set up AP's into SM's account. Thats just my token of gratitude

Ahh. Populice. I think we should add that to the KB lexicon......

And I agree with the sentiment too....

Ya missed the part where Billy was taken to the wood shed.....

Haha, oh, you gotta love the yanks

Try this simple experiment people:

Have a quick flick thru this thread from the beginning, and bearing in mind the topic under discussion (i.e. the proper way to feed and care for an internet forum) make a mental note of the percentage of people posting in this particular thread who actually NEED to read this thread.

Ironic,ain't it?

[James Deuce]

Just wanted to bring this thread to people's attention again, and to let you know that I've been snipping the length of quoted posts where people quote and entire previous post.

Please go back to the first post in this thread, watch the wee film and take onboard some of the stuff in there. It isn't about being a "Nazi", just that there are things to consider like the greater the volume of traffic the more money SpankMe has to pay to maintain the site, and the server performance is largely in the hosting service's hands. The more needless quoting we do the slower the server will run, particularly in regard to database and search functions.

Upgrading the server means a higher monthly fee and so on.

hahaha funny stuff!
