I'll try to find you a link, but I won't be surprised if someone else posts one before me...

I work at Microsoft. I have nothing to do with Halo and nothing I say is "the official word".

Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

And of course, if you ever want advice, he's good for that, too.

Of course, he uses the term "advice" lightly. As in, as light as a feather that has been cut down to two of it's atoms before being put on the scale.

The flaming one means that the topic has had over 50 replies.

I don't know (exactly) about the one with the green plus sign, though. =)

And yes, it's the Webmaster. =P

The green plus sign webmaster means the thread has been replied to recently. When you reply the thread gets the icon and loses it if it hasn't been replied to in a certain ammount of time. I've never watched long enough to tell how long it takes for the icon to go away.

It's the inside that counts. I'm sure that under that hairy, alcohol reeking exterior there is a sober creature reaching his arm out for......more gin.

This image is false advertisement, the Webmaster is never sober. The only reason he hasn't been fired is because...Well...Have you ever fired a Drunken Gorilla before?

Poetic.

I'd be inclined to say the whole "birds of a feather" proverb, if it weren't for that darned last phrase going and messing it all up. The Greek philosopher who created it probably didn't consider what would happen if two people of vaguely similar persuasions weren't into the whole "flocking" business. Antisocial flocks aren't all that prevalent, for example, nor are flocks of narcissists.

hmm... I'd say threads that have been replied to in the last 7 minutes to 49 minutes are considered "new."

But "improved"? Hard to say.
