    I think you should consider repealing that quoting rule.

    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.

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

    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
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    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?

    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.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
