I think for them it IS a contribution, because often visited forums have value for their owners, the more hits, the better price you get for advertising space on the website,
so I a way I think we are doing the computer a favor by keeping this topic alive

what kills me (cracks me up) is that the computer always says 'thank you for your "CONTRIBUTION" ' even when we give it mindless dribble, numbers and such...too funny

cheers, krump

Come on Kevin, how can someone posting a number like 895 and nothing else mean anything. It's just a ploy to gain more stars. At least Mookie's was worth reading to her five.

Well

I need somehting to comment about

My intention is not to start a war...

But here goes..

I actaully Like the Stars, am i Respected more because of them.. NO!, does that mena your opinion is worth any less because you have 1 or 0 Stars? NO!

Lokk your All Equal, no matter hwat anyone Tells you

I don't care if you have 0, 1,2,3,4 or 657 Stars, The point is is that you are you, Your opinion very valid.

Anyone who has to look at stars to tell if they should listen to your opinion, well they are screwey.

You are all EXCELLENT posters, your Knowledge differs from each and every one, for instance BIg Girl KNows a lot more in certain fields then i do.. how many stars does she have

2 or 3.. beat me up if i'm wrong

Big BOy... You know a heck of alot more then I know.. how many stars you got bro?

3

we each know our own Fair Bit.

That the point, Those stars Just ignore them, and try to focus in on the person responding.

I'm beginning to think the stars should be discontinued. Too many people post frivolous stuff just in pursuit of a star. I have seen postings of just one word. Back in the old forums, the postings were meaningful, now we see a lot of junk. Yes, lets discontinue them.

Scottydog, remember the golden rule: if you've no interest in a topic, simply SKIP OVER.[:-,]


You see postings of just one word because the forumserver does not accept empty postings!
and think about the time spend to post a large row of numbers: with flood-control only allowing you to post once per minute!
