A good question is....

what is the answer if you...

1) 2*2...
2)square root the previous answer...
3) add it by 123.5...
4) and raising it the 0 power equals...

Everyone should know that from Algebra 1


and for the movie review board ask...

1) What is your name?
2) What is your quest?
3) What... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

everyone should know that as well

I was thinking more along the lines of:
How do you get approved for membership?
Who leads this clan?
etc.



And about webbots - why do we need a forum for it?  It would make 1000x more sense to have a web form for it that people can fill out and submit, and it would also solve the problem of haivng to delete massive numbers of posts, etc.

MoNksBaNe_Agahnim, you need to specify whether it's an African swallow or a European swallow.

We don't need a forum for it.  However, we have a forum for it, and we don't have a web form that can be filled out to request things.  So, it's a matter of convenience.  If you want to write a web form for Spht to use, I suspect he'd be willing to take you up on the offer.

That would take like 10 minutes, and I'd have no problem with doing it.  

I suppose we could either have it write a file, or email requests directly to him.  Either way, response to them should be via their email.  And once we have their email, we can spam them with vL advertisements and make lots of money off sponsership!

Sounds good.  Get to work.  Remember to take at least basic precautions against mass-requests made with the purpose of consuming disk space.

Not today, but perhaps tomorrow

I figure we can do 1 request/ip, that would solve most of the problems
I wonder if it would be advantagous to build something right into the bot which will automatically send the request?  Like Options->Register Account or something like that.

Well looks like Il be not alowed on the forums, Iv only learned how to make variables.

Actually, you'd be grandfathered in, since you already have an account.

well...i...i don't know...**AHHHHHHHHHHHHH** (gets thrown into the pit of of endless peril)

For general programming:

"Visual Basic or Visual Basics"

For advanced programming:

"What are the benefits of OOP"

For botdev:

"CSB is..."

a. godly
b. evil

what is CSB altogether?

If you're going to do it (I don't see why you would want to considering the forum is working out very well), make sure people can type in their own comment + registration request; don't have it send me mail -- it's much more convenient to check the forum for new registrations than it is to log in to my e-mail; if you're going to restrict the same person from posting twice, then allow them to edit their request in case they made a mistake; allow me to reply to their request through the same form, I don't want to be logging in to my e-mail and sending them a message; allow them to reply to my registration confirmation so they can say their "thank you's" and "good work's."

Enjoy.

Well, I'll only worry about doing it in the case that we actually decide to implement stricter rules about signing up for the board.  We'll see

All I know is I'm getting sick of seeing the orangish C64 in a certain person's signature block.
