    PCRs suck. Ming just gave me on of those. BTW I think a "Civ3 sucks thread" would get locked really fast and you'd probably get banned if you did it to often.

      Heck, we are even graced with the presence of War4ever and Dr Spike.

      Clearly a prime location for spam sharks.

      That being said, we always need new members.

        sabrewolf= please realize, though, that many people who post in threads here just to spam or to troll receive PCRs and have in the past.

        It happens, it just hasn't happened recently for some strange reason.

        It's not as if Mark and Dan and Ming just let this spam go unnoticed- don't worry, they usually have control of it!

            I think the most obvious comment has been overlooked.

















            Its not the length of your post that matters..... Its what you do with it...

            Though I did know a girl once who said that girth was more important than length.

              well, with length i meant average characters. by eye it's easier to distinguish how many lines there are. for a DB-query the length of the string is easier (no parsing and looking for those ...+chr(13)+chr(10) or the
              s)

                Well there you have it, Sabrewolf. You've just taken 32 words, two emoticons and a formula to say something that could have been summed up in four words.

                    But the girth of all posts is equal.

                      Nah, if you attach a large picture then you can screw up the forum's girth.

                          Obviously some posters have given a lot of thought to girth increasing measures.

                            hi ,

                            average post lenght ; its quality that counts , not quantity , .....

                            short brief to the point messages tend to be used the most , however there are plenty of threads where people post lenghty detailed information , .... they are also good quality but most people dont bother to read lenghty posts , ....

                            have a nice day

                              btw spamming could be stopped by giving some kind of "value" to the posts of OT forum, as 1 post count every 10
                              I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

                                You think that would stop OT spam?
