How did you guys implement the "no links until 15 posts" feature? Is it an open-source plugin that I could download from somewhere, or was it custom coded? I'm having a big problem with spam on another forum I administer and I need to implement something similar.

I just noticed the following in ZapperZ's journal: Would someone please make sure to backup Zz's journal? There is a lot of good information there and I would rather not see it lost.

I've never posted in that thread, but I voted 'Yes' just so the damn thing can get to 10,000 and die already.

Aristotle's science was mostly rubbish, but his writings on ethics, politics, and poetics were, and are, brilliant. I'm afraid a lot of people hear examples of his bad science and dismiss him without recognizing the value of his purely philosophical works. I would make a comparison between...

Uh oh, I think somebody watched that movie one too many times ... :rolleyes:

Hey, yeah! It's been a while since I checked that forum but I'm glad to see someone finally met the requirements and got a discussion going. We are definitely on our way to proving that IR is a viable concept. Now, if only we could convince Zanket to post his theory.

Here in California? And all this time I've been thinking you were from New Zealand! Don't know how I got that idea in my head. :confused:

Check this site. It is worth fighting, the ticket may not be dropped but most people who fight will be able to get the fines/points reduced. http://www.motorists.org/issues/tickets/index.html

Really? Can we see some photos? :-p I, too, have a $500 bicycle that is collecting dust. I want to ride it, but I live in a tiny development that is sandwiched between two major highways. There is no place to ride around here, and my car is too small to get a bike inside. Hopefully,by next...

Not quite. Video may be dead as far as new releases go, but there are still billions of perfectly good, playable VHS tapes out there, many with rare and hard-to-find titles that have not been (and may never be) released on DVD. The independently-owned video store in my neighborhood is still...

Townsend, I was wrong to suggest that you had been "had". When I first saw that video, the comments were so ridiculous that I assumed it must have been a comedy sketch, like the ones on SNL when they make fun of something by exaggerating it to the point of absurdity. The presence of Chris...

Where the heck did that come from? And what was Mike Myers doing there? I think you've been had, that looked like a comedy sketch to me.

Carl, It sounds like your needs are outside the boundaries of what PF is willing to support at this time. Why don't you set up a discussion site of your own? Then you can tailor it exactly to your specifications. I believe most of your requirements could be supported with a MediaWiki...

I actually think that many textbooks get worse, not better, with each revision. I recently got a good used copy of Halliday and Resnick, Third Edition (1988) for five dollars, and I like it much better than the modern editions, which sell for upward of one hundred dollars and are bloated with...

Have you looked at the Independent Research forum? That might be a good place to post a draft of your paper and get some feedback. https://www.physicsforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=146
