aww oh well
thought itd be kinda funny to have each person answer say a 5 q questionnaire

/me bites coup

swampers questionnaire:

Are you female?
Are you athletic?
Do you have big tatas?
Would u?
Oh yeah, and do you like trance?

If all are answered with yes, yr in. I personally think this could benefit the forum

i think this is an idea worthy of revisiting. i've seen a lot of thread lately about filesharing etc that could totally be avoided if new members were tested on the basic rules here.

maybe a five question quiz would be fine. this doesn't have to be a an inital part of the registration process, but the secondary part when the person has to confirm their registratoion.

i hardly think this would be an inconvenience or a deterrant. what does everyone else think?

iv'e done that a couple of times. bad jokes ok, so sue me. I've contributed more than that ok. I have nothing against you but don't defame me.

i bumped this thread rather than start a new thread on the same topic or is that a no no? i see people get flamed for starting new threads when there are plenty of threads on the same topic (e.g. favorite classic trance, first trance cd, etc.), and i get beef for not doing that and using the search function.

what about the substance of the idea, not the messenger?

with all due respect, i used the search button. that is good. not using the search button (and starting a new thread) is bad. what's the irony?

had i started a new thread about the topic, when the topic's aim is to avoid noob mistakes (such as starting threads when there are other similar threads), would be ironic. i didn't do that: i did the correct thing. i have nothing against you, but please.

yes, i know you're a mod, as is jon, and that you guys do a great job around here, but i'm really surprised by responses from both of you. it doesn't make sense to me, but whatever, it was just a suggesstion, and neither of you two even addressed the topic; you only criticized me.
