I have two things to say. Firstly, this letter seems to be making things worse, not better. Secondly, the Lounge should simply be nuked. It's one of the biggest problems with this …

If you think the forum is on a downhill decline, what I'd do is actually evaluate your own behavior on the forum, maybe you're not the model of forum perfection that you should be …

As abandonware goes, to put it simply as TL said, we're a public forum, not a private club. Abandonware can be traded in private clubs because the copyright cop organizations can'…

well i have kinda been away for a wee while as far as active posting - outwith the RC channel anyway. golly whats to be said - what happened? there was always banter in each thre…

I joined here originally to try getting help with my old Powerbook that I have since gotten rid of. I then later came back to brag about my recent conquests, and then I found out w…

The reason the software forum is so full of "gimme" and "here is a bunch of abandonware for download" posts is that the old software is getting harder and harder to find. If you ar…

I guess the members-only mart of the lounge doesn't effect me, and i don't use the View New Posts thing, but removing old Lounge posts is a bad idea.

If you are going that route, you should make it an option in the UCP whether or not to include the lounge. Click to expand... Just as I posted a URL to exclude the Lounge while…

I know that the Software forum is another kettle of fish, but we're trying to sort out new policies for that, and you may have seen the announcement in that forum. Click to expa…

Good ideas, I've changed the "View New Posts" link at the top of the page to exclude the Lounge (though you'll have to update your bookmarks if you previously had it saved) and I'v…

Bad things happen to all of us all of the time. Thing is, very few of them are tragedies. If we lose our job, we look for a new job. If we lose a friend, we try to make amends o…
