Zipped 18 Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Have to see how it develops. It had the feel of the early days around here but is definitely experiencing some growing pains. I wish them luck. I did notice it scooped a few stories about 24 hours before they made the front page here. what front page? Most of the time the front page doesn't get updated when a story breaks, it usually gets updated at night. Link to post Share on other sites

Given how much credit you give me for the alleged pussification of SA, Pressure Drop's fate is pretty much sealed with my recent registration. Any minute now I'm going to go start a couple of threads on crimping coax cable for VHF installations and revive my LPG installation topic. I have to give credit where credit is due BJ. And for the record, not you in particular, but rather your support of the requirement of having to register to post. I rather enjoyed anyone, registered or not, being able to jump into the fray spontaneously. I further enjoyed trying to figure out who it was that was flying off the reservation anonymously....added greatly to the shits and giggle factor. I get that you all have this notion that screen names represent real and identifiable people, it's a fallacy of course as readily demonstrated by the proliferation of sockpuppies post the registration requirement. That said however, sockpuppies take on their own personality, or at least try to. Without the registration requirement, you got a host of commentary from across the spectrum without restraint. That made the early days most special. Ah unintended consequences. Not only did registration limit free expression, but it resulted in absurd nonsense under the banner of responsible citizenship making a mockery of the entire concept.....but that's anarchy for ya!
