Eddie280 Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Great thread for people new to the forum. However, I have a question. Why are you using ’ instead of '? Way to bump a topic. Haven't you been here long enough to know not to do that? Its a useful thread. Havent you been here long enough to notice one of those? True, But this was an Almighty bump. Good thing he didn't bump the old one then. lol there is an old one!

BigGamer Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Hey Svip, I have a suggestion: why don't we just pin this? It had obviously fallen quite far out of view anyways, so I don't think the "people ignored pinned topics" argument applies, it's still perfectly applicable, and it would be quite helpful to new members.

I look once in awhile and notice I've missed something good. But if it's not pinned it will still fall to obscurity. Catch 22.

Runey Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 I think other members should be able to give each other karma. Nice bump. We don't have karma anymore, by the way, we have a whole new system, and besides, if regular members can give each other karma, all I would have to do is fire up MSN and tell one of my friends "Give me karma, bro."

CrazeLaze Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 They should bring back the karma system, in my opinion, it made people more better behaved, cause people wanted those shiny stars. Or at least award more members, for various small things, like reporting posts, Unique posts. Just give people more awards, so other people could see them, and try to be like them...
