The truth of the matter is the earth's magnetic field has gone through reversals of polarity at regular intervals through geological time, and is shown be examination of sea bed core samples from around the world. My memory fails me to remind me of the timescale involved but the reversal is quite sudden, and maybe once every 10,000 - 50,000 years. So this will be the first time it has happened when Man and society are witness to it. I don't think we'll all get fried but at least GPS is well enough advanced so we'll all be able to cope when our compasses go doolally for a month.
Do you really believe this stuff, or are you just inviting argument/debate?
My view on this is the forum exists to support the LFS community. It is not a general find-a-friend forum. While I like to see a flavour of more esoteric and philosophical discussions appearing in the O/T section, when there is a member who ONLY posts O/T stuff like this inviting debate then I'm not personally happy with it. When your only reason for being a part of the LFS community is to discuss O/T stuff rather than contribute positively to lfs-related issues then they are likely to end up getting flamed.
Yep, sorry, that website link is waste of electricity, its fantasy schoolboy sci fi speculation and needs to get filed alongside conspiracy theorists and Eric Von Daniken books.
First you should ask what you hope to achieve by removing the post count. Reduction in spamming? Increase in general quality of posts?
Disagree, that is not the way to get a solution. That lies with the whole spirit of the community here, the individuals and the support of the game.
I don't think the post count reflects a positive involvement in the community unless you go through and look at all the individual posts.
Neither does it relfect a negative involvement. It's just a statement of how many posts they've made. They could equally well be a total spamateur or a dedicated and helpful supporter of the game. Post count says no more than that. It is irrelevant as a marque of quality or dedication.
You should have a third option in your poll for -irrelevant.
Well you have already posted about your 7 years of work on a revolutionary new propulsion method. I think if there was really something revolutionary or practical here then its best not to publicise it on a gaming forum but crack on with your research and make yourself a famous millionaire
I can't understand how you can diss the post count yet support another method of showing exactly the same thing? Frequency of forum use is also no measure of quality. Why bother at all with either option? I couold not care less how many posts someone has made, it only seems important to people who are hung up on status, and if they are so hung up on status they will find some way of making it relevant to them.
it's nicked (or is it knicked)? Came across it somewhere on the net a couple of years ago. Still funny and a lot of embarassing truths in it about forum life
Yep when you compare against the black striping on the body, the front wing is definitely a graphite black rather than a real 000000#
But then the body looks a lot more fluorescent red with a touch of orange than Heizer's Arrows Orange, more like the red in the nose of the old white McLarens but not quite that red. Does any of that make sense?
This post started out as improvement suggestions on adding different car types, and went theough an interesting discussion about many other things, then settled on yet another post about what cars people think mostly resemble the LFS garage selection in real life.
The forum already has many, many posts of this nature contributed thousands of time by a large slice of the community.
can we please stick tot he thread subject and not just fill the forum with duplicate threads already well aired?
