I had massive lag on the gif, but I had lag on the page too. When I just clicked to start typing the Stones post, it was delayed and laggy.

Eh, whatevs, sorry about posting a laggy pic here. I'll try to make sure that doesn't happen again. :oops:
 
Congrats to all stoners!!!! Half the way to the million for me, let's go for it :rockout: :toast:

Afternoon, gents. I'm probably not worthy of wandering into a thread filled with such awesome members as you guys, but I'll have to dip my toes in.

At the behest of a fair amount of members, both ordinary and staff alike, I'd like to request that tangents (particularly the vast amount of badger related ones that are creeping into other threads, that frankly, don't need it) are kept to a minimum. I'm happy with banter, you guys are a team and it's important to have some respite and chat. A small amount is perfectly fine, but it's getting more than that, and it's getting a touch out of hand. If you could keep the random videos, images and gifs of offtopic stuff to an absolute minimum, then we can keep the good WCG thread clean for those that visit. Imagine having guests in your house, you wouldn't want toast stuck to the ceiling, let alone an entire loaf of bread. The occasional carpet stain is to be expected, as is a little dust. Just try to take pride in the presentation of your posts and threads.

You're welcome to organise things like the profile images in PM's, something lots of us members have done in the years past (including cartoon character themes, christmas themes, toddler TV character themes, and now apparently viking themes). You're welcome to change them as much as you like. Just try to keep that organisation and conversation within PMs.

This isn't directed at any particular member or members, I'm certainly guilty of crapping in threads myself. Just try to keep things ship-shape from now on, and then us mods can keep banning spammers and dealing with the nasty guys, rather than having to delete animated images from threads where they don't belong. @Norton has very usefully posted a website in the post above, where all the banter and total nonsense is 100% allowed, so feel free to head over there and eat your heart out, it's there to use to its fullest extent. TPU however, is primarily a tech and hardware site, nonsense is not our priority.

Thanks all, and keep crunching for those in need :)

Indeed you have, very awesome! I added you into the Stones post because it slipped my mind while I was doing it; I was posting from my phone while the little one was crying like a baby, which made me forget it. Sorry about that :oops:

The badge looks good on you! :D

Haha no problem, I know all about that sort of thing ;) .
 
This is getting so much active and interesting, nice milestones every night ... people getting happy and most important, making happier a lot more.

@Norton, @manofthem we should organize a 1-week-challenge every month even with symbolic prizes just to keep the spirit growing more and more :rockout:

Congrats to the stonners, to the team and really for all your dedication :toast: :respect:

PS: Great Quadruplets image :D :D

Well as far as I know, next Challenge will be here shortly in May. That gives us time to figure out what exactly it'll be, what kinds of prizes, etc. But I agree that an increase in challenges is a good idea. It's something that we ought to discuss more about as a team :)

I know that for you or for @Norton, organizing them can be really out of agenda, but I do recognize that all the "loud" that we create pre-challenge, during it and after some days it's finished it's huge among the other teams and ours of course ... why not getting profit of it to get more new members more usually? :pimp: That's why I throwed up that silly idea maybe, IDK, I can post it a more ellaborated one into the team thread.

We have 2 types of challenges when we crunch:

1) challenges that we spend a good deal of time organizing and setting up, which is quite a lot of work.

and

2) The day to day challenge of continuing to crunch, keep each others rigs running/supporting each other ;)

Both are equally important... we host/participate in challenges (1) only a few times per year in order to keep them manageable.

The spirit is always there!
 
Message received Captain. I just enjoyed all the hype with this one, that made me thought we could get good new members faster, but I do understand about keeping them manageable. Of course, no doubt the spirit is always there ... if not, we won't be here right now ;) :toast:

I think of it like this....

You can build a tower with bricks and get it really tall in a hurry if you just stack them up OR you take the time on each course to make sure the cement between each brick is done well- takes more time for the latter but the foundation is stronger and lasts longer :)

All input and opinions are valuable though! :toast:
