Now I'm hungry...

And the "scratch" sounds good enough. No beeb-beebs for me.

HTML is usually on. It gets turned off when people abuse it, and everyone forgets that it exists, so the admins re-enable it, and then it gets abused again.


Cobra. Chill. :p

@Cobra: You posted a line of periods.
@Raa: And you already abused it. :p Killed my poor browser.

I'd say something, but BlackDove could probably do it better.

Exactly as Blitz put it.

because you're not helping. You're solving a 'problem' that noone has. You're posting things that people already know about. You ask questions that we have answered. You make an accusation, and as soon as you are proved wrong, you go defensive, and completely change your argument, and say "thats what i meant".

Grow up.

You are out of control, and need to be stopped.


Not sure if I mean Hippo, though.

Err. Cobra. The single post with nothing but "...." is spam. When there's nothing of value added to a thread, the post is spam.

Posts like

"lol"

"...."

et cetera are spam. They serve no real purpose but to inflate the size of the thread, and the user's post count. They are not necessary responses, and are looked down upon. If you do not have a legitamate response, don't make one. And your posts will not be called spam.

The thread, initially, was fine. And I may just crop the nonsense out.

*sigh* at least someone doesn't flame me for trying to help out...

People, cool it. Seriously. This is just out of control. I hate having to say the same thing over and over again, but apparently I have to.

Cobra: You need to stop taking everything as a personal attack. Nobody is out to get you, and most of the people here are just trying to help. Plus, some of them just have questions that they need answering. Answer them without chewing their heads off, and people will respect you. Cussing and acting the victim is not going to get you any sympathy around here either.

Everyone else: I've said this before...

Quit being a bunch of crusty old elitists.

Still, I don't think anybody's heard me. I honestly see nothing wrong with packing files into an .exe, seeing as how they significantly compress the files, if done right. You can ask Singh, who happens to upload all my GTI music in .exes simply because they are huge downloads otherwise. Cobra's simply trying to contribute to the community, and there is nothing about that deserving flames and attacks. Even if it is a little misguided, simply point it out without personal attacks.

And I'll say this last bit again.

That's all I have to say. Now turn it down before another potentially useful thread gets locked and thrown away.


Please listen this time.

Don't worry. Another bad post, and I'm splitting the thread, and locking the offending posts.

Like this thread has potential?

"lol".

That good enough? :p
