    Wasssssup?

    Great to see you guys again! My current collection is a Tbird 1.2, a 1.6 Semperon, and a 2Ghz dual-core HP. Not exactly the firepower that I used to have, but could crank a few cycles. I'll have to do some reading about what's available these days. I haven't really even thought about DC...

    Wasssssup?

    Thanks esquared. Must admit though... it's odd seeing "Moderator" as a title. Used to be back in the old days that mods were part of a secret society... sort of like uber-illuminati. In fact - do they still issue the decoder rings, and have the secret handshakes? :laugh: It looks...

    Wasssssup?

    Hey guys. Just wondering if anyone remembered me over here. I've been out of DC for probably about a year or so. I did a stint with the DPC in DPAD, and I think I've pretty-much paid back the cycles that our friends assisted us with. They're a great bunch of folks. They tolerated my lousy...

    Edited title: Should we have a "general discussion" thread?

    Nope. Simply attempting not to engage in a flame-war over something meaningless. Yes, Oh great one, you have demolished me. I bow to your intellect, your power, your mighty and all-knowing ways. I am a wretch, unworthy of standing in your presence. My feeble attempt at improvement has...

    Edited title: Should we have a "general discussion" thread?

    Oops. Sorry - the word "attacked" wasn't used. My bad. And no. That is NOT the definition of the word TEAM. A team is a small group of people with complimentary skills working toward a common goal with mutual accountability. THAT... is a team. As usual, what began as a...

    Edited title: Should we have a "general discussion" thread?

    Outstanding. Now that NW realizes no one was attacking him personally... perhaps we can then begin to agree that some folks have differing tastes as to what is appropriate here - and others choose different avenues. Surely there's a way to satisfy all. This is supposed to be, after all - a...

    Edited title: Should we have a "general discussion" thread?

    ... and I will defend to the death your right to do so. I however also submit, that there may be differing opinion, and that just possibly... we can come to an agreement that will satisfy everyone. Not so terribly sinister If I say so myself. ;)

    Edited title: Should we have a "general discussion" thread?

    Well... we could agree to "ground rules" I'd think. The DC crowd is a "cut above" any forum I've ever been a part of. It's the one reason that after all these years... I'm still here. MOST of my true friends are here. People from other countries, have come to stay at my house... met...

    Edited title: Should we have a "general discussion" thread?

    Perhaps this could all be settled diplomatically. My observations: Mods don't like meaningless crap threads, and I can't blame them. "Nef" threads per se, are almost always meaningless crap, except that we were using this one as an "anything goes" have some fun sorta thing... so...

    Edited title: Should we have a "general discussion" thread?

    Same way telling jokes "around the water cooler" is. Sure this is DC - but it's a group and a "family" unto itself. I wouldn't go to OT if it were the last forum on earth. I don't know anyone over there, and don't care to. If this forum were strictly about DC, and nothing else - it'd suck...

    Edited title: Should we have a "general discussion" thread?

    This started as a gripe about the "nef thread" - it has turned into what I hope will be a positive discussion about how we can reduce OT threads, and still allow those who choose to "socialize" with our friends here... not in that cesspool of OT. I've changed the poll as well. Please... can...

    Dasm... The death of the nef thread.

    I must admit after having ventured over to (gag, choke, retch) OT - I was quite surprised to find This nef thread with nearly 6000 posts. What's with that crap? Our little tiny 700 post thread gets nuked, while this grotesque waste of bandwidth lives? I actually think that pretty-much...

    Dasm... The death of the nef thread.

    I'm plenty willing, but I suspect it will be a futile effort. Whether it's "wise" to do, is open to interpretation. Much as many like to howl about "free speech" and all... the bottom line is that it's Anand's forums, and he (or his representatives) can do as they please. So, while in my...

    Dasm... The death of the nef thread.

    Now Gentlemen... bear in mind that this is not, was not - and will not be intended to replace that gem of a thread, nor do I wish to be the author of a thread of such profundity. I merely protest, that we have very little "fun" over here... we're not heavily monitored by the thread police...

    DC - how would we like it?

    1. Should DC projects go commercial? If so, how should the contributors be renumerated? I have no fundamental problem with a "commercial" DC project, so long as there is full disclosure as to the purpose of the project, the participant(s) and precisely what my CPU cycles are being used for...

    Nice job on those stats, George! hmmm.... Pretty tough competition. :Q

    Uff. What a daunting task... but one that would yield some interesting stats! I'm wondering just how that'd be accomplished without the assistance of the admin or something. I used to know people in high places around here... but, not anymore.

    It's my Saturday. Just mowed the lawn... (which at 2 1/2 acres of grass is an even unto itself) and after more than 6 months, just became acquainted with my Stihl chainsaw again. (Tim Allen voice.on) oooh, oooh. (Tim Allen voice.off) Now I'm all hot and stinky. Time for a...
