I don't care for the "scrolling" shit that they did. Page to page, thread to thread, etc. Weird.

From what I understand, the brain will recognize your death for several minutes after you've actually died. (assuming of course, the cause of death wasn't traumatic brain damage). That's kinda freaky...You know you're dead, but...

Anyways, if you're still typing, you're probably still alive. So here's some cliffs:

The C8 guys are fussing about order event status.
The C7 guys are bitching about resale values.
The C6 guys are out on this beautiful Sunday enjoying their cars.
The C5 guys are wondering who can fix their EBCM.
The C4 guys are drunk already.
The C3 guys are too.
The C! and C2 guys got it all figured out, so they're up on the roof painting their shingles white.

And OT is simply telling everyone to STFU.

No plans to implement it here, but the infinite scroll mod itself isn't that horrible.

What is horrific however, is their "related topics" nonsense, which they implemented at the same time in conjunction with that.
It could be possibly workable if they limited the "related" threads to the same forum section...But to read a thread in C6 Gen, then find yourself in a "related" PR&C thread from 10 years ago? Stupidest ****ing thing EVER.

With the "upgrade" that introduced those two "features", they were turned on by default. Users have to go into their control panels to turn them off. As mentioned, stupidest ****ing thing evAr.

Recently, I've grown increasingly fed up with the ignorant morons that inhabit every section of that site. Constant fighting, derogatory terms for italians and tech people, 12 year old mentality, out of the blue personal attacks in PMs, etc etc etc. I've just about given up on that site.

To be fair, these are custom modifications applied to an old "non-IB" version of VBulletin. (CF is on the same 3.8 platform as in use here, which predates IB's acquisition of Jelsoft). Nothing ado with the current VBulletin product.

A good question though is why hasn't IB updated the forums they operate to their own product? If the VB5 platform is so wonderful, why haven't IB-owned forums migrated to it?

Since I have met maybe 5 folks off CF in the ~20 years I been on there, I don't recall ever being attacked, and never have attacked any tech guy....and never got any attacks in PM's either, however calling an Italian a WOP is normal from childhood yet, and I"m not even from NYC/Chicago/etc.....

Because they have a supposed 200k members on CF, and to change the OS/platform much would just piss off a bunch of folks, and to witch I have to say this platform works, so what would be the point to changing it?? there is another site Vettemod.com which sprang out of a Yugge migration from even that Blue screen group....mainly from the C3 section, on account of some clown who tried to monopolize EVERY thread in all of C3 tech he moved over with the guys, and the guys moved on to form Vettemod.....he was permabanned from there, ...just remembered his handle...Durango Boy.....I was permabanned from the blue screen group because poly-ticks.....

My first car was a '60 vette in '66 paid a grand for it.....used to carry a spare tire carrier full of concrete in it because of weight, putting the spare on top of the lid....the plastic started to crack from the weight, so took it out, and car reverted to tail assed light again, so of course I lost it at night in the rain....800 bux of damage.....sold it for 250 bux and jumped ship into Pontiacs and drag racing......

So I have my muchley/greatly? modified '72 where nothing is stock, wheels through roof, stem through stern....NOTHING.....SO I also paint my HOUSE roof white, but the CAR roof is tan......

BTW, my handle, mrvette, came from me signing up with my first ISP, them asking about what handle I wanted.....had to think about it, this being in '95 or so....and a State Dept. computer friend had the handle mrgoat as his handle, thought about it, and so followed his lead.....he knows FAR more than the entire hillary gang about state dept. computers/communications because he set the system UP......

They had nearly that many when they migrated from zeroforum to VBulletin in the early 2000s....They're closer to 500k members now.

I agree, the VB 3.8 platform is solid, but from their perspective, shouldn't showcasing your own product kinda be a priority?
"pissing folks off" hasn't been a blip on their GAF radar since 2007, that most definitely isn't their reason.

so was using the "n" word back in the 1700's.... do you refer to black people as the N word too?

The word on cf that i was referring to wasn't WOP it was dago, which is worse than wop, but that doesn't matter, and i'm not thin skinned, people can say what they want, but they had better duck if they don't want to lose some teeth if they say it in front of me...

The PM thing was a first for me in 15 years on that site, I have a feeling the dbag was drunk and got the wrong person because I've never interacted with him before and the message was a mess.

Not losing any sleep over any of it, just sayin'

Moving along.
