I think it would be better if it was linked to Opera instead. You know the better browser.
I hate Opera, I use Safari (when on mac) and Firefox(when on windows).AKA Panama Jack wrote:I think it would be better if it was linked to Opera instead. You know the better browser.

I think someone should explain a few things here. I can understand (although, not approve) if negative threads in general are prohibited on the forum. But if there are selective topics which cannot be criticised, than it is a matter of censorship. In that case I will releave the conference from the burdain of my presence.
Yes, it is a kind of advertising. Yes, it is viral marketing. Yes, it is something that a large number of people appreciate, enjoy, and discuss (groupthink).Gambler wrote:Go Firefox! Go Google! Go iPod! Go Serenity! Go groupthink! Go viral marketing! Go abuse of cyberspace!
I'm so tired of this advertising smurf. (And unless I'm missing something really big, the linked website is simply one huge banner.)
My posting is glorious? How flattering.Gambler wrote:Besides, this actually reminds me of my Web 2.0 manifesto thread. 10 minustes after I posted a link to a certain text, there was a glorious appearance of Roja, who started with his usual "shut the smurf up and start helping people" thing.
It does not in *any* way bash IE7. It simply links IE7.com to Firefox, an alternative to Internet Explorer. Not one comment has bashed IE, and neither does the url, or the original poster.Gambler wrote:Ok, I wiped that posting, and it was then garbage-collected by administartor (which in a way showed administrator's approval of the whole "do not post this" thing). Now, can someone please explain me how this thread is different? It links to a website that basically bashes IE7. It's okay to bash IE, but it's not okay to bash web 2.0?
Negative threads aren't prohibited. Threads where people attack, show disrespect for others, and generally offer no constructive input, however, are directly against the rules. Perhaps you don't understand the difference. I will agree that disrespect is relative, but when a majority of mods think a post is disrespectful, you've probably gone too far.Gambler wrote:I think someone should explain a few things here.

From your comment, I presume you'd think I'd want you to leave, but thats not the case at all. When you are commenting on technical matters, you are insightful, and helpful. I certainly don't want you to leave, and I suspect others feel the same.Gambler wrote:But if there are selective topics which cannot be criticised, than it is a matter of censorship.

Firefox might be decent if it didn't suck up memory like a wino locked in a liquor store.nickman013 wrote:I hate Opera, I use Safari (when on mac) and Firefox(when on windows).AKA Panama Jack wrote:I think it would be better if it was linked to Opera instead. You know the better browser.
