    Darn, I heard they were going to select the new mods from the ranks of the newbies who worship Memosux or CMC-Mag disks. All this due to Doc-Ty not being able to keep his hands off the nurses while he was in the hospital.

    @brobear...I admit I haven't read 1984 since about...oh...1984 LOL! (Truth be told, it was more like 1971 LOL!) We read 1984 and Lord of the Flies back to back and only in later years would I think of how true they both were allegorically. I remember reading that Golding was influenced to write that by groups of parentless kids in the French resistance who were far more ruthless than any of their adult counterparts...I don't know if it was true but I can see how it would be. YOu know brobear, I think I'll read both of them again now, some 35 year later! You've got me in the mood!

    Update:
    Posts made in the Safety valve are not taken into account when calculating member levels. Frivilous, repeated posts with the obvious intention of merely increasing the post count will lead to a temporary or permanent suspension of the account.

    Due to the nature of the Safety valve forum, we saw this change was needed.

    I'll fifth the motion and drink to it. It was a great day out on the highway. Nothing like a good bike ride. Then all this happens while I'm gone. LOL

    Glad you're inspired to reread those old classics. Visit a bookstore and pick up the CliffsNotes on those books or you can go online and get PDFs or view the free version. Here's a link to the 1984 notes and review. http://www.cliffsnotes.com/WileyCDA/LitNote/id-90.html A reminder of what you're looking for in the writing often adds to the appreciation. Don't do like some of the kids though and read the notes instead of the book. ;)

    As for posting in the Safety Valve, I'm surprised we're not being penalized. ;) I'd best watch what I say or it may come to pass. LOL

    Ronin, that was the announcement that the 'hand-pick' promotion method was to be changed to the 'auto-promote' system. The message has just been updated ;)

    @brobear...I always read for a couple of hours to unwind before going to be; it's been my practice for years. It will be a nice change from spy novels and overly intellectual and thought provoking vampire novels I usually read LOL! Thanks for the link; I'll read the cliff notes as you suggest...strange that I should want to read the novel instead of just the cliff notes now that I have a choice in the matter!....Gerry

    abcd^2,

    Your posts still 'count', i.e your post count will still increase regardless of where you post. But now, even if you have a billion posts as your post count, you will still have to have posted 25 [bold]outside[/bold] the safety valve to make it as a Junior member, 100 for member, and so on..

    Just curious if this new change will affect the rankings of people who have already been promoted, are the safety valve posts taken away starting now or when the member started posting....hmmmm

    Will we be seeing less addicts gracing the forums?
