I hate when I see the forum list, and other shows 300 unread messages....and I sigh and mourn the predicted loss of 2 hours of my life.

But when I come in, its 150 net ehgq posts, and only 50 real posts.


EHGQ depresses me artifically, lets let it die!

I don't have any problem with that.
Has <font color=red>Fredi</font color=red> ever removed a post?

Agreed.

Yes he has. Usually because they have links or themes to do with porn or other offensive issues.

What bugs me is the way the thread takes up the page. You miss out on yesterday's news. I have my settings at 20 threads per page, and unless the CPU section is busy, it's usually enough. Except here. [sigh]

I used to keep it at 20 per page, but because of that thread I'm up to 60 (and thinking about increasing it) so that I can see everything else.

It needs to go. Just don't post in it for a few days and we'll all be fine. It only takes a day really for it to drop out of sight.

its own section as in cpu's, overclocking, other, EGQ.
Man one section for one post! the fourms would become unusably fast suddenly! in fact it would realy mess up the whole net. with out that meaga drain on resources we would have no need for broadband as modems would be able to cope with it all again :)

Now thats what I want to know!

Then the EGQ will grow even more powerfull and the 'Other' will be powered by three 'things': EGQ, Poll and Other himself... just wait till it is strong enough...

He will never know till he tries it.

Could title it.
"Show me you hOOters"
"Put you hOOters here"
"Hooters Anonymous"
"Bodacious TaTa's Only Please"
"Tell us your hOOter story"
"Free Hootergram here"

Or a thread title like:

"Mammories"
"The Club"

I like the last one.

how about we always have one thread to spam in, and when it reaches 3000 posts then we close it and start another.

thats really a good idea! in fact, 3000 is too high a limit for a silly thread like that, the number of pages linked to the list pages could be limited to 4, the first two and the last two and links rest of the pages put in the thread page itself.

then nobody would complain about the EQG thread being so long!

Guys, don't you have anything better to do than post 3000 mesages into one thread?
I mean, come one don't waste your time and my server resources :)

Really, I have nothing against chatter, but shouldn't you spend quality time with your computer? Or plant an apple tree, do that homework/mow the lawn or finish that program, or better yet, post computer poems?

I guess what I'm really trying to say is:
Geez, I wish I had so much time at my fingertips. Enjoy it as long as it lasts! I think I envy you...
