"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

It was easily done.  And it can be easily undone too, or we can just wait until the next time posts are recalculated.

Woo!  Steak!  Great to see you again. :)  When are you going to upload your missing Array pictures? :nervous:

Also, it looks weird not to see you blowing everyone else out of the water with your ridiculous post count.  So I've taken the liberty of adding 40k posts for you. :p
Hey Goob. :D And about my post count... umm... thanks, I guess? :nervous:

Hmmm, missing pictures... I was under the impression that they were all available in my staff folder. The text I attached to each one is another question... shame that's all probably gone up in smoke since. Not that anyone's missing it. (I have some backups, but only of the oldest ones.)

I think that reference is before my time, at least. :p

You're not really missing out, Mongoose... in my heyday, after I had finished with the forums, my name used to be shown as the latest reply on every thread in general discussion (and then some). I think they used to call it a 'steak storm' or something...

Thanks for that, its obvious especially when you look at the pic of the HTL version now that you mention it.

Holy cow. The thought crossed my mind, "a worthy successor at last!", but then I realised you are doing this on a totally different scale to anything I ever did. And knowing you kara, it's not much of a stretch to say that 1 of your posts is probably worth about 10 of mine (particularly in the early days). :p

OMG Steak!!!!
Yeah, hey bro.  Good to see you're still sporting the title that I gave you way back in the day (though I mean, how could anyone really improve on "Crazy Render Rabbit"?)

Thanks Gortef, I feel that way too a lot of the time. But part of it is that the kids are at such a young and needy age. Being available to them takes up most of my disposable time. So we'll see what the future holds. :)

Hey Setekh! Good to see life is treating you well. Love the kids, though it's hard to believe that it's been that long since they were born :p

True that, better to be with them now than regret about not done that later.
