    ancestor(v) had taken care of that problem. ;)

    But i do suggest something like an auto closing of threads in the Introduction section after a certain period (days) to prevent people spamming the heck out of the area in order to raise there post count & bumping old threads. I think there is some addon/plugin that can be installed to do this.
    I am not sure if something like this is available for vBulletin 4.0.x though. But i think is worth to look into something about it.

    I've just finished deleting those mass posts. If this happens more often, we (I) will close introduction postings after a short period of time, maybe having a look for this add-on.

    As for BarneyBear, he somehow became our "Welcoming Guy" as he does nothing but welcoming people. No problem with that, he doesn't seem to follow any other goals with this. And he is welcoming people if they're new and not after like 2 or 3 years old (in here).
    But for people being high active in the board and spamming in order to get more postings this looks more like getting a higher title, which we stop immediately (as possible).

    I think it shouldn't matter how much postings you have and what user rank you get. Neither the number of postings nor any standard user titles say something about your competence and value, just about your activity. Quantity might be fine, but how about quality?

    I cannot assign rights for a single thread (no option available).
    Please cooperate with jlgager since he's the thread starter.
    When your links are added I'll change your title.

    I just love this site.

    I wish I had the talent so many of you have. I am more of a musician than any kind of computer programmer. But I RESPECT the big cats here in a major way. You have helped me learn more about programming than I have learned since the early 80's on my Timex Sinclare TI 99/44A which had a 16 bit cpu and an eight bit bus line- if I am not mistaking. Wow those early computers were so easy to program in "Basic". I can recall writing my own version of Space invaders and had to use graph paper to chart the graphics for translation into numbers for the computer to read. Wow have times changed!

    I now repair computers way out here in the sticks. I work out of a house and business is very slow, but word of mouth is starting to help me get more customers than I ever dreamed of in the past. This site has helped me get out of many troubleshooting jams. So, I guess one COULD call me a "Loader Tester" because of the very wide assortment of computers I get to test the loaders on, and if needed I could report back on many models and how the Loaders, or OS derived from OS ISOs posted on this site, I could share my experiences at almost a moment's notice.

    Your all OK in my book. Thanks for allowing me to hang with you here. I really like it here. :worthy:

    Also worthy is Daz - :worthy:

    Peace to all.

    He ignored the rules, insulted a moderator and acted childish so after many warnings he was banned.

    Paymyrent was given numerous warnings and instructions from the MDL team. Unfortunately he chose.to ignore those warnings and continued his unacceptable behaviour. The MDL team had no choice but to take action, his ban is permanent.

    Hello Yen..... after a long gap!!!!

    Well, again asking u, can my user title be changed?? As I can't maintain the mirrors now, mirror related any title isn't appropriate. But if u notice my last posts, I think "MDL Adviser" is appropriate for me..... isn't it??? ;)
