You are the intrepid one, always willing to leap into the fray! A serious character flaw, I might add, but entertaining.

As with lots of features, it could be done so they did it. I used to do that a lot, think of a cool idea which was fairly simple to do with existing code and then add it. I never considered the scheduling and testing impacts. Now, I write a lot of specs so I can think of cool things and get somebody else to implement them

Programming is great. First they pay you to introduce bugs into software. Then they pay you to remove them again.

I think it's quite entertaining trying to seek out the members who have personal messages, and posting bizarre replies

Just a thought on the new forums each user has attached to his bio - why not give the bio owner the ability to delete any posts made to the forum?
No sign that this is necessary at present, but i could certainly see it becoming useful in certain situations (not that anyone here would actually be so immature as to start a flame war in someone's bio, but...) . And i can't really see "trigger-happy" bio owners being a problem either, as the forums' scope is so narrow.

Would it be possible to have an option on the new post/post-reply page where you can choose for that post to be posted anonymously. Nish's post about jobs in the soapbox made me think of this... if people did want to post as anonymous then they'd have to sign-out and then post and then sign-back in.
Just a thought. Just a thought..

If you are logged in and post under a name other than your signed in name then your post is marked as anonymous. There's no need to signout. (take this post as an example)

Or you could just stop posting anonymously.

I never have.. other than the one above... just that Nish's post about jobs thought it would be a good idea.

It is sickening beyond belief to see the same 4 or 5 articles day after day on the "Last 10 Updates" list. People make minor changes to their articles in order to stay on the list. Meanwhile, new articles often appear and disappear from the list in less than a half day. Why not have a tab for the "10 Newest Articles"? Keep the "Last 10 Updates", perhaps, but put it in a less prominent place. That way people can't manipulate the system by continually "updating" articles in order to keep them in the top 10.

Hear hear. I get really tired of saying "Hey a new article!" When really it was one I just read a day or two ago.

But Clinton wasn't a predictable, boring, aging, lying, eloquent, maintainer-of-the-status-quo. He was a predictable, boring-but-trying-to-look-hip, aging-and-fat-but-seemingly-oblivious-to-it, lying-but-in-sadly-blatant-ways, not-eloquent-but-trying-to-make-up-for-it-by-talking-even-more, bringer-in-of-scary-and-potentially-dangerous-new-policies. And there was also Al Gore. It just wasn't *right*.

We recently had a brief discussion about a new name for the Soapbox to more clearly express its purpose. How about The Asylum?
