[Dr. Doog]

zee Bocaj Jacob, Jacob.<br><br>...you too, you higher posting person!!!

[Muninn]

I remember when Burning Sheep reached 2000 posts and I was looking at it and wondering how anyone could possibly find time to post that much.

[Dr. Doog]

I still wonder how BSheepPro managed to get as many posts as he does. It seems like he never posts and he should hardly even have 1000 <!--emo&:o--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... s/ohmy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='ohmy.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I know. I made that nickname for him over a year ago.

Sorry for the double post but I think I found another error. When I tried to link to an image it said this...<br><br>You are not allowed to use that image extension on this board. A valid format is: <a href='http://www.domain.com/picture.gif' target='_blank'>http://www.domain.com/picture.gif</a>, an invalid format is: <a href='http://www.domain.com/picture.one.gif' target='_blank'>http://www.domain.com/picture.one.gif</a><br><br>I think it was because the page the image itself was on didn't have any .gif or .jpg ending. I don't know if this was always like this or a product of the hack. Just thought you might like to know.

[Richard K Niner]

I think it's related to the fact that the board doesn't allow posting dynamic images. Because some people try to fool it by adding on a throwaway variable with the value ".jpg" or ".gif"
