Just a thought.

What drugs are you feeding them to get them to be afraid of posting non-Lounge questions in the Lounge? I mean, we need to distribute this amazing substance! Good idea though btw.

Simple to verfiy - just check the number of females. Any dating site has at least dozen good looking singles that are always available. Not so on CP. Thats proof enough I don't think this is a serious possesion, and the evil most likely comes from your hand.

Each 500 messages posted adds one level, and if a user has posted a message then each year of membership adds 1 level. Bonus levels not valid for Gold members. Bronze is awarded at the beginning of the first 500 messages posted instead of the end. What is a "Bonus level"? Now I am wondering, I have posted 5-14 articles, am member since 2 years+, and have posted more than 500 messages. Why I am Gold? I know this has for sure been explained a hundred times, but I missed it Error 4711: Signature expired Re: once more - wondering about level Michael P Butler14-Nov-02 4:02 Michael P Butler 14-Nov-02 4:02  (5 - 14 articles = Silver) + (500 messages) = Gold Simple as that.

Re: once more - wondering about level Andreas Saurwein15-Nov-02 13:40 Andreas Saurwein 15-Nov-02 13:40  Ahhhhh, now (even) I get it But what about those "Bonus levels" mentioned? I dont think that is some kind of shoot-em-up level where you can just kill all that comes up??

I worship Chris! The problem with the message bords, is that it just takes about 4 hours (on vc++) before the question is gone - to the next page. Even if you didn't get an answer. The solution is to write the same question again, and again crowding the messageboard. Can't the threads be marked with 'completion' or 'satisfacrory response' for later filtering? Perhaps setting the standard amount of trheads to 50 instead of 25 would help?

That would be a good idea... Perhaps at the top of each forum there could be something similar to "Question Time" in the lounge where any questions from the last day that hadn't been marked as "completed" could be displayed in a round robin fashion. Maybe they wouldn't even have to be marked as completed... just basically show the thread titles in the "Previous Questions" box.

Setting the standard to 50 would slow down the site considerable for people on dialup or other slow connections.
