Well I admit I have been on drugs , following an accident and perhaps it's me , however does anybody else notice the weird posts and even weirder responses of late? I find it difficult to take this place seriously lately. Come on guy's who is pulling whose leg?
I think a couple of the newer members are trying to force their elite form of humour onto the rest of us.
I haven't been around much lately, seemed HJT and SP2 threads were takiing over the place so I sort of lost interest.
It seemed that nothing "meaty" was being posted.
I notice there wasn't even an OT last week ?
Maybe it got deleted like the one I posted on the 13th August re Olympic games because a flame war errupted in it ?
Anyway sorry to hear of your accident and hope you recover real quick.
;)

It does sound a bit like Aprils fools, only it seems that its only fools (without the April).
I have seen this in a few posts i can't recall them though
You'd think people would have better things to do with their time. Then again I've been proven wrong before.
Regrettably all forums have this sort of thing happen every once in a blue moon. I'm all for a bit of lightheartedness now and again, but some people just don't know when to stop unfortunately. We are dealing with it.
Nix, the inevitable proliferation of Hijack This logs is one of the reasons that we created a new forum especially for them. The other forums aren't affected.
I think some people are hard on other people around here. If they have a puter problem we/you should be in there helping them with some kind of answer even if it is to get the thread moving. I see problems and question that to me have been silly/dumb at one time but this is how you learn the PUTER. So lets CHILL OUT and cut people a break and pitch in there to help them out.
Take Care Your Friend Deltree. :p

I'm not sure thta you saw the post/posters in question. We are not talking about their questions, but about their attitudes.Quote:

Well well, here is another one.
This guy posted this question in every forum. No mods around to ban and erase though :rolleyes:Quote:

chosen name vs given name
Hi,
I am looking for people that have gone through the process of changing their legal names from the name that they were given to their screen names. If you done this yourself or know someone that has I would be interested in talking to you/them. please contact me. lulu
Thanks usil - taken care of!
BTW, original topic - the links may seem less meaningful now that the mod crew has been doing a little cleaning. The majority of the trash has been removed.
usil, lulu; must have been confused/wrong forum. There is no way I can read every post.You must have a lot of time on your hands to find stuff like that.You have been a little hard on me over the year but I still love you and wish you well: maybe some day you will be a MOD.?
Take Care:p https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
I must admit I never saw any of these strange posts. Must be out of my topic area.
I am struck however with how many folks are writing in with HijackThis logs and contributing to the Virus and Security forum. It seems like people are under attack lately. My large corporation was infected one day last week, and as for me, I've just come off a format and clean reinstall due to serious, repeated infestations of various kinds.
This seems to be all the rage these days: who can we hack??
It's a humongous downer.

:mad: :eek: :confused:
There's still at least one nut job out there! Obviously I've been flying below Wendy's radar. :cool: :rolleyes: :pQuote:

Guess maybe i'm the only one who comes here late? I spotted those posts(in most every forum) by that 'Ludeedo' character and used the 'report this post to moderator' utility. Is this not the best way to get mods attention?
I forgot about that option Ridge :o
Oh Ridge you're just no fun anymore! :D
Was that the guy who claimed he was being stalked by a humongous duck?
I did happen to find that last night. Calpitor, you flatter yourself!!
I guess it was somebody's idea of a sick joke.
Everyone here, as far as I have experienced, is always polite, thoughtful, tasteful. Er, well. You know what I mean. Even the sort of randy posts are subtler than that guy. We get very few flames. Pretty amazing considering what's out there.
Cheers
Wendy
:D ;) :p
Wendy, no, the humongous duck was someone else. The timing of these posts, being so near to each other, is very suspicious though. :confused:
For future reference guys, the Report Post to Moderator probably isn't the best way of getting something to the immediate attention of a mod - all it does is sends an email to the moderators of the forum from which the post was reported. If something needs dealing with urgently, look in Who's Online and send a PM to whichever Mod happens to be around.
Ok Nick,,but at the time,I checked who was 'online' and there were no mods aboard. Guess I could have done as the poster and used the 'report to mod' in every forum it was posted in,but way too lazy to do that. Actually,that was the first time i've ever used that feature in the four or so years i've been around here...
Hey Calp'! No fun?? Your asking an over-the-hill Leprechaun Irishman if he's no fun anymore??
Feel the beat my friend. :D

Hmm.............All you Yanks are still in bed :rolleyes: :D :D
I'm a longtime member and regular poster at one other web forum, and the lunatic posters come in waves. Every couple months we get a couple bent on 'shaking things up'. They usually get bored and leave after a couple weeks.
We usually just sit tight and ride things out.
:)
Hope all stays well enough around here, too.
