May I proffer a solution? Use cockney slang. Join us, you might like us ...

This is right load of Jackson Pollock enacted by Khyber Passes Smiley: clown

On a serious note thanks for the heads up Kaolian. I completely understand this needs to happen and appreciate you are not enacting all that google are asking for. I doubt I'll notice much change as I post little and I do not really swear much. My only concern is that some people post some very funny stuff using profanity.
Would Google silence George Carlin in text form? .... he had a sketch on a similar vein actually about TV censorship back in the 70's.

Reddit sucks as a forum substitute. I don't even know if a topic has a new post unless I open it, because there's no "last post date" feature. And lack of avatars makes distinguishing posters a pain.


Has pretty much all of those things, actually. Depends how far on to the learning curve you want to go, I guess. Obviously the layout and navigation is different and people hate change.

I've never really bothered to play around with my reddit settings, as I use it not for conversation, but just idle amusement.

How would you make it into a format that supports conversations? I assume it would be some kind of subreddit setting to restrict people so that they only reply to the original post rather than making threads, and ordering them somehow?

I think addons will let you do things like highlight the new comments you haven't yet read, although I'd have to look into that to figure out how, RES doesn't do that by default, and I don't see any obvious way of making it start. Honestly this is the biggest thing for me, I want to be able to identify things I haven't read. If I can do that, then navigating different reply chains in a thread is a trivial problem.

Well I just signed up 2 days ago and didn't see any of those things. And couldn't find them in the preferences. I can handle some change, but the change should be intuitive to navigate :)

If this forum moved away from Zam, I think it would cease to exist before too long. It's already sickly, but if it's not at Zam it will have virtually no influx of new lurkers and posters and it will die.

Get the Reddit Enhancement Suite (RES) addon, it makes everything better. You can also sort replies by top (highest karma), best (best up to downvote ratio), controversial (worst up to downvote ratio) and new (newest posts on top).

but it doesn't give you new comments, so if there are a bunch of replies you need to read through everything.

I'm testing something, quick someone go make a comment on one of the reddit threads.

Also Elinda is right, but I'm bored and learning new things.

RES does show you how many new posts there are and if you have reddit gold it highlights new posts.

Yes. It's not keeping up with attrition but it's keeping the vultures at bay.

Also, what about when Totem shows up for his annual post and can't find the place?

What about Moe and Tare and them others?

Change is bad.

Anons at 82 and climbing. Smiley: smile

Don't worry, I'm sure Kao is just overreacting. Source: All of his posts.

Make sure you get to Bing Images by entering "Bing Images" into Google. That way Google will know that they suck.

If all of us regulars here were to open a new forum we would have the same core people with the same thread topics we mostly frequent.

Video Game Sales.
Politic sh*t.
Weird sh*t.
Provoking and laughing at Gbaji.

Who needs Google or Zam when it is us posting folk who make the community.

Granted I am only here to hit 10K, if I have to start over again Id just stick to trolling Yahoo comments.

Most of those are varus and various others. It's not an influx, it's continually drinking our own ****.
