Amen.
Of course that still won't be good enough for *some* people. They'll want naked photos of their private area, just to be absolutely sure. Then again *some* people might happily oblige.
But hey. Let's keep this a family site.
Why not throw away a dime?
I throw away ten pennies all the time.

C'mon Shog9 the real problem isn't female CPians or males posing as females. But the problem is the sexually frustated males who make a big thing about it due to ther own inadequacies.
I purposely don't reply to new females on the forums since I notice that when they make any statement at all they get unlimitted responses.
Consequently I'm on friendly terms with a couple of female CPians as you well know also. { And thats as far as it goes }.
I know one female and I suspect there are other females who pose as males because of this.
You are trying to treat the symptom and not the cause.

I was *trying* to be absurdly facetious, to illustrate the absurdity of trying to prove sex in a place such as this... I should know better by now i guess
... But you've made some good points! It's sad that women would feel they had pretend to be men in order to co-exist here...

On my screen the last word if it can be called that is currently p.m. on the system clock, so I guess MS is having the last word.

Males posing as females might be a bad thing, but then it's understandable that there will be members of the vast CP community with a little perversion. But what is not understandable is why everyone goes gagaga the moment someone with a sweet girl-nick posts stuff. Everyone knows that there is only a very very faint chance of the person being female. I don't see what's the fun in sweet-talking to a guy posing as a female!

A really cool improvement that Question of The Day stuff...
I think we should be allowed to select and answer the questions, and in the next day we should see how many CPians get the right answer and how many did it wrong. I think that would be cool...

I like the idea. !!
Also the QOTD's should be divide into categories,
I have been unsure with some whether they were C# specific.
{ Sorry can't remember which }
BTW : At what level are these QOTD s aimed at ?
maybe that should be stated as well.

I made an animated emoticon for CP for :tired: (  )
It needs some polishing up. The beizers were a little hard to work with in 16 x 16 pixels, but it looks pretty good.

This post is brought on by the sad leaving of Rama K.
Are some of the Forums aka message boards too popular ?
A portion of CP is community building, this can also be viewed as creating interpersonal relationships.
It is difficult to build these relationships when you have 300 people all sitting around a table trying to talk at once. And I am guessing that forums are the same.
many forums never reach critical mass and become live.
However I believe some of CP's forums have become so active it is difficult for them to grow further, as memebers are unable to remain actualized with what is occurring.
So what solutions are available ?
Should there be a weekly allotment of posting rights ?
Should forums fragment into smaller forums at a certain size?
You might well ask "why is this forum in suggestions? "
Well 1.) I'm askingf for your suggestions,
and 2.) So it won't be lost in an hour in the lounge 
Note: I don't think this is only a problem that afflicts some of CP's forums.

People will get frustrated at not being able to post, and might not bother coming back. Or people will dig up old threads after a week, because they have something to say, and either will get no discussion, or will get a lot, but not many people will find it, causing confusion.
Colin Davies wrote:

More forums to feel lost in.
I think the forum software is to blame. Have a look at a vBulletin site (on of the most popular forum software packages around). Aside from not being threaded to the same degree as CP, the biggest difference is that as soon as someone posts in a thread, the thread is brought back up to the top.
This allows people to see which are the active threads all on one page, without having to go backwards and forwards for ages trying to keep up.

I admit I added the allotment idea as a pure thought not because I thought it was any good.
If old threads were allowed to come to the top some threads would never go away. Such as the religion vs evolution battles.
I personally wanna see new posts and responses. But also to interact and shed thoughts with like minded folk.

True. Perhaps though, they could be moved to the SoapBox and be allowed to come to the top.
I think the problem is that the Lounge seems too fast moving. It might not be in reality though, since dealing with 5 new threads with 5 replies is not unmanagable for the human brain, yet it manages to push other threads off the first page. This gives a big impression of not being able to keep up.

Yes, that was exactly what I'm trying to say
Imagine if the lounge speed increased to an average of 10 posts per minute. It would be impossible to refresh for slow ISP's before a whole thread was shuffled to oblivion.
At some stage there is a maximum number of posts that a forum can handle.
Already I know of a regular CPian who doesn't post in the lounge because its too inhabited.
