Title: New function -- added "Digg This" button to posts
Post by: saint on November 08, 2007, 10:13:15 pm
Added "Digg This" button to posts (SMF default and classic themes). I'd love to see this get some use and see some BYOAC activity make it to Digg! :)

Glad to see that your inability to search in other sections of the site including Main, Woodworking, and Software extends to Forum/Website Discussion as well.  ;)

Do we want Digg's attention?  Every other forum I've seen that started to get any regular Digg notice filled up with trolls and complete idiots in short order.  We're pretty good right now... not too many of either here.

My sentiments, also what is Digg?
Is he the cereal guy that Mayor West built a gold statue of in Family Guy?
No, wait that was Diggum..  :D

I dig this site.  However I don't know if we need to 'DIGG' it up.

TTFN

I have to agree (not with efjayel, I'll come on to that), Digg is not a good promotional platform -- encourages dweebs!

@ Efjayel, does your mum still dress you?

You don't do yourself any favours by posting bile (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bile) all the time. Do some searching -- or maybe even digging!

I don't mind some casual teasing but I find that comment totally insulting even if it was just a joke. So please go screw yourself.

Of course I was only teasing efjayel -- but the serious part about researching your posts isn't a joke. As I said, you have left yourself open to teasing before because you sometimes post without thinking. Digg is really easy to find using Google, but I've done it for you, see http://digg.com/about

So, if I have hurt your feelings, then please accept my apologies.

Ok, I'll let it go this time. I don't want to start having enemies like I do on all the other forums. I already have an enemies list that's way too long as it is. It's not even a page more like a scroll.

With the lack of emoticons, it is tough to tell if cant-be-bothered-to-search-jayel is joking, but my  ;) was full-blown support for HooPZ' (or is that HooPZ's?) observation.

If I have hurt your feelings, then please ask genesim to demand an apology on your behalf.  ;)

In case my use of the winking emoticon was incorrect, I wasn't teasing.... I was attempting full blown sarcasm.

If there's a better smiley that I should use for that, I need to hear please.  I think somebody is gonna be using that alot for somebody else's lack-of-search posts....    ;D

And may I politely, without sarcasm, and with all due respect ask why on earth you have so many enemies on other forums, efjayel?

Same reason I've made some enemies here. I never intend to anger anyone but many people out there just don't like what I have say.

Why do you think you have enemies here?  Just because someone teases you or is sarcastic about safety, searching, table saws etc, does not mean that they hate you.  It means they have a difference of opinion.  IMO, with your lack of searching aside, I would say your posts are fairly innocuous.

I honestly don't think I have any enemies here since most posters at this forum are respectable people. But in most other forums they are chock full of idiots, spammers, trolls and every type of conceivable person just ready to lash out at anyone who isn't "as smart as them." And that is where most of my enemies lie. But lets end this before it becomes a total thread hijack.

There is a new postings link.

Never mind....  I figured it out.  Your penchant for asking others to spoon feed you as opposed to a simple web search is probably a big part of it.

And before you ask what penchant means, here is a link to the definition.

my mother once said "it's not WHAT you said... but HOW you said it". now, considering we're typing and not talking, you'd think that saying doesn't apply here... but it does :)

hail to the mighty keyboard warriors!  :notworthy:
