That's a relief. I'd hate to have to cancel my subscriptions to Thumbscrews Monthly. The January article "Making Flamers Writhe in Unspeakable Agony as you Set Fire to Them, Inflicting Horrific Physical Damage and Atrocious Puns Simultaneously" was marvelous piece of investigative journalism. —Alorael, who doesn't need your IP address when he can get your real address. Remember, TM knows it from visiting your mom (and if he doesn't, he can get her to tell him!). Then Zeviz can send his EVOL goons to break your fingers.

From The Million Dollar Brain (?), Michael Caine's played Harry Palmer described the Russian method of info extraction as being psychological. Lock him in a padded cell and force him to lsiten to nothing but these discussions until he cracks. Technology is for amatuers. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

The idea is to move what is now considered spam-like to trash in order to reduce the clutter. Instead of moderating it, it could be periodically trashed as you would with unnecessary files on your PC. There hav been so many useless topics started recently that I have to skip to page 2 to find what has happen in ones that are interesting. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

Hmm...I've never had to look at the second page of topics. I guess that's the advantage of coming in at least once every day and only looking at those a day old. Dikiyoba. Posts: 4346 | Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00 |

So once a topic goes to the second page, you abstain from reading it until it hits the third page? :P No, I'm joking, I see what you mean. Just wait until you have to be away from Spiderweb for a day for some reason. :ph43r: (or however you code that smiley) -------------------- -ben4808 Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |

Actually, I read every page in every topic so long as it is 15 pages or less, since I read the Runescape topic in its entirety, but not the Mountain of Shadows topic or TM's undead moniker one. How much I actually comprehend is up to you to decide. Dikiyoba. Posts: 4346 | Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00 |

The trouble with being the last poster in a page is that only a couple people actually read it - because once they post, people will be looking at the new page, not the old one. Posts: 587 | Registered: Tuesday, April 1 2003 08:00 |

I read older posts as well; if I see a new page, I look back to see what I have missed. So I usually read the whole topic. :) -------------------- I'll put a Spring in your step. :ph34r: Posts: 2396 | Registered: Saturday, January 29 2005 08:00 |

quote:I actually time my posts by content. If I have something to add to a thread I try to make appear toward the top of any given page. If it is more spammy in nature, or conversational, then I attempt to make it happen toward the bottom of the page. This one, as it appears to be topical yet spammy, will appear toward the middle of the page. The worst thing to have happen is to post complete spam, hoping to be the last poster on a page, only to find out that someone posted while your post was being formed, thusly pushing your post to the top of a new page. That hurts. -------------------- quote: Posts: 4114 | Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00 |

I'm not too bothered by the position of my posts. I have had a topic locked while I was creating a post. I wasn't happy with that at all. Dikiyoba. Posts: 4346 | Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00 |

It happened to me once (darn you, Alorael!), and IIRC it was just the "you cannot post in this topic because it is locked" message. -------------------- I'll put a Spring in your step. :ph34r: Posts: 2396 | Registered: Saturday, January 29 2005 08:00 |
