But you did point out that they had Golden Septagon symbols while stating your opinion. And it could be considered a fact that everyone likes the golden color, and everyone wants a big golden septagon next to their every post and another to wear around their neck.

I can reply now, although its much slower than Pre-Bug era. Still, thanks Achronos for all the Anti-Buging work. ::)

But it hasn't been proven as a fact, so really he would be stating a theory. That way it would be his opinion with supported evidence (mainly, no one complains about the gold symbols).

Actually, I rarely make new posts. Think before you speak.


I'm not even going to take this to the next level and start a flame far...

Whatever. I suppose I should have specified, that I rarely make new threads.

And yes Josher, I would agree. Flamefests can be fun, but in the end they're bad.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

Dont put down Killroy for having enthusiasm. just cuz most of the threads on this forum are his, doesnt mean they are all pointless spam.

It seems like just yesterday he made that "Community Feeling" thread. I wonder what he thinks of us now. Really guys, he just said he liked the golden septagon thingy. I don't know why you are all getting so angry.

Can...I...post?...yes!

Read the following at your own peril. I am having trouble explaining to myself why I posted this, which makes a nice little paradox for you, reader, but not for me - because the paradox as already there - I think.
So, I have the freedom. But what sort of freedom is this? Is this the freedom to post every thought in my head? Is this the freedom to make a difference in the world? You might say that it is all of those things. However, the freedom itself is not the goal. The goal is to harness the freedom for something good and just. We, here, have harnessed that sort of freedom. Is our work grand? Is it just or right? I leave that to you.

However, I would like to point out, quite simply, that when the great glitch descended upon our lives, all was not lost. Of the many freedoms we are given here, there are two extraordinary ones. One of those freedoms is the freedom you speak of, Kilroy. The other has been revealed by Recon. That is the freedom to read a post, consider its value in the meaning of your life, and walk away. Sometimes, you might feel angered by a post. In that case, continue on your way. Use your freedom. When you see that a point can be made, walk away - unless your point is so overwhelmingly important that you are impelled to post. In all other cases 'walk' away - unless, of course, you're posting about the dual freedoms of this forum.

If you actually read this far, it's only to remind everyone that due to the style of these forums, unnecessary posts and threads devalue the worthwhile ones. Whenever you post, think if your post is one of the worthwhile ones. Posting without that self-reflection is wrong. For this reason, I have posted less than I ever have - however, I have attempted to make sure that every post was more worthwhile*. So, remember to put quality abov quantity. Don't try to convince yourself that posting is worthwhile, simply walk away.

Strange, i just went into the pit of depravity known as zanzibar, and every post that didnt have an icon next to its name went invisible! i couldnt see any of the post names, very strange, a refresh fixed it. But well done achronos for the bug fixing!

Yea this is kool and all, but I am wondering how the bug just popped up in the first place. Achronos (he probably wont come back to this thread) care to comment?

He said something about it in the sticky about it. The one that says not to make new threads about the bug.
