Quote pyramids are NOT a good idea. Do not create them, or participate in them.

Folks -- please don't make posts unnecessarily long or otherwise mess around with phpBB formatting stuff. (such as infinite nested quotes, etc.) If that were to start happening on a regular basis, I would have to lock this thread. ;)

IT IS NOT OVER!
Actually, it is. This was done back in 2002 or so, and caused some browsers to crash. Thanks for making this the last time anyone here participates in this kind of thing again.

And remember:
Guidelines (READ BEFORE POSTING) wrote:
  1. Use common sense - Just because it isn't explicitly stated as one of the rules below doesn't mean it's OK. Use common sense and good Netiquette when posting, replying and browsing these forums. This includes the following:
    • No posts for the sole purpose of increasing your postcount.
    • No posting of SPAM to the forum.
    • No personal messaging SPAM to people.
      SPAM includes unsolicited messaging. If it takes you hours to send hundreds of Personal Messages, it is still SPAM.
You should periodically check this topic for updates.
Added No posts for the sole purpose of increasing your postcount for those not grasping the concept of "common sense."
