I rarely visit WOS and have never spoken to the WOS admin. All my "info" I
got from said thread.
But having read the WOS thread |I realised that you cannot ignore a post.
You just HAVE to respond, even if your posts are completely baseless.
You are a gift to all troll baiters everywhere.
So you have yet again been goaded into another argument due to your naivity
and your inability to rise above pointless ****slinging.

You really are priceless.

Well FatGuy, if your "info" is from a thread where mods are claiming
victories after editing user accounts, you're ****ed. You also use the
same tactic of describing facts as "baseless" the minute you run out
of specifics.
If I've been goaded into an argument that you've just lost then more
fool you.

And on irc, every CSS regular can be their own op.

I don't get this.
Why are some adults still keeping the C64 vs Spectrum thing alive?
I don't think it matters what's better and what's not. I think we
should concentrate on sharing knowledge, hardware and software, for
the benefit of all 8-bit users.
I don't find C64 jokes funny anymore. I'm a lot more interested in
seeing ports from one machine to the other, and to leave the kiddy
stuff behind.

Although I understand why some people here dislike forums, I don't
share the same opinion. Are you so afraid of being 'modded' that you
need the usenet to feel free? Maybe it's because of the way you say
things.

Tradition.

It's a JOKE. It's been nothing but a bit of inter-camp japery for the past
10 years. I doubt anyone takes it all that seriously.
Even the trolls do it for amusement.

I just dislike forums, modding or not. IRC is the protocol for internet
chat, you don't need some ****ty java client...
Usenet is the protocol for longer term message storage and forwarding.
Email is the only one that's been keeping a following really, the only one
that's not been replaced by some inferior web based "facility". And that's been
ruined thanks to spam.

Webmail is still e-mail though, using the same protocols, rather than some
cobbled together abortion like webchat and webforums.

you don't know the half of it, if you want cobbled together you should
see the other chat window I have open at the moment
http://www.nshsa.org.uk/public/
javascript held together with bugfixes and the guy who wrote it
doesn't put any comments or whitespace in his code

Nope. I've never fallen foul of any moderator on the few moderated
forums I use.

Neither do I object to the right of people to decide what is - and isn't
- put on their forums: it's their property, and they can do what they
like with it. Which is why I'm quite happy to use those few. My reasons
for disliking web forums are much more to do with the rigidity of their
interfaces than moderation. (Not to mention, as Spike says, their
redundancy. Talk about reinventing the wheel: new and improved, now with
corners.)

That said, it's important that open unmoderated forums exist, and I'm
glad Usenet and IRC are still around as much for that reason as anything
else.

right right....


They hived out 1997 the mighty LX/BX/ZX/GX Chipset... HA


If it could run on 200MHz FSB (japanese have done so ... even
220...), it would be not much slower than 12y younger PCs. HAHAHAHAHA



Kind regards,

Daniel Mandic

P.S.: 1997, the start of supersonic ppl blending, IMHO. However, I buy
today high-end stuff (e.g. EOS3), whereas I could only buy an entry
pocket digicam w digital zoom for the same amount of price, etc...

However.... THANKS!!!! ;-)))))) (2nd e.g., SGI 21inch 'supercolor' for
30 bucks :-))))) thanks again! hehehee
