LOL. Add a 'no' for me, Morgwen. thanks :)

Hahah :)
I got you this time.... LOL
Hey hey no cheating, if you whant to vote, reg man or woman.... :D LOL *Hysterical*

*g*

I vote no also, so add that to your UNFAIR poll.
You could have posted a sticky message and said to POST to vote, just like how you all are ignoring the technology that can let people post without registering if they wish.
This poll sux.

Why???
 

Re: Why???
 

You have read over and over my posts as to why I don't want to follow the cows just because "everyone else is doing this and that" so I won't repete it again.
I know you don't understand this, and that is why the government is taking over everything. People are like cows and will all fall into place without question.
You can't understand why I don't turn cookies on, or why people use a firewall, why be so PARANOID?
You probably use Windows and still don't understand why you get viruses, but what the heck, everyone else uses OUTLOOK for mail, right?
It's a principal thing I am sure you don't understand.
I REFUSE TO REGISTER !!
You will NOT get any contributions from me in any forum that is blocked.

yes this poll sux, but yelling against each other solves nothing.

I also don't understand why this poll is made (okay we like to ease each other hehe, greets to swede), but made sticky? Unregistered can't post... so it's already prejudged.

errata: can't vote

That is why we never made a poll.

Morgwen

Why???
 

Have you ever seen a cow?? To my knowledge a cow have never been on this board!! It would be funny... LOL
Ok What in the he** have the government to do with this board???? And I do not see myself as a cow, I'm a human and that have nothing to do with cows.
And no one forcing you to turn on your cookies, RIGHT?
Yes, I using win2000 pro, because in my opinion it is the best overall OS. And I haven’t jumped on the LUNIX bandwagon because everybody it tooting it horn... I personal think that it stinks. Yes, I looked into it. In my opinion it work good as a Internet server. Not for small business applications. And yes I’m using MS Outlook full version. And I using firewall and virus protection, so what? Maybe that is to be a "cow" but that is my progreative. Or maybe you are the cow!! Because after your argument most people haven't reg so that must be the cows, like you!!! LOL :D :D
yes I know, Cows do not reg... :D :D LOL
And no one is forcing you, and I still don't understand why you don't reg, but that is you progreative. Not mine. I have no ill will to people that do not want to reg with they real name. Use a fake one. And you say that the government is checking you out if you reg. If I taking your argument that already know you and what you doing on the net. So, your argument falling flat on it's face, sorry. They already know who you are and if you are good and bad.... :D You know the Santa Clause song.... LOL... Don't be so hard on everybody that doesn’t have your view. Peace, Brother
:)

But I did. :D hehe. And people should not jump down the board about that. Jump down my throught, instead. I can take it... LOL :D

Most of this "stupid" question are anwsered several times, perhaps they will use the search option instead?

Since registered users are so much smarter than unregistered, I would think they would know by now it's easy to set up some throw away accounts here and use them to flame or cause trouble.
So all you did was change the way people flame here, no real difference except you probably lost a whole bunch of nice people.
I have noticed the posts are way down since you did this, and the board is very slow now for content.
Oh well.

do you wonder? some would love to see only non-critic posts here.
no posts, no problems. *cough*

I think you should be registered to post, but can read all the messages without registering, if you just want to browse. I think making people register enhances the sense of community, and then you know (to a certain extent) who you're talking to.

Maybe there should be an specific help forum where unregistered users can ask one-off questions.

I would like the see the forums as inclusive as possible, but I don't really see what's stopping people from registering? Giving an email address?

That's almost impossible to do. How can you assure me there will be no more than a few posts per thread, or that there won't be off topic threads created?

IMO, only the General Gnutella Discussion and Development forums should be closed, and the rest should be left open, because as you very well said, there are some people that just want to ask one specific question and leave. However, some developers asked to close their client's forum, and that's OK because they are theirs. The thing is, as I see it, if we close one forum, we should close all of them.

you enjoy censorship.

I could answer your post, but I'm not really interested in starting a pointless discussion.

All these people driving their cars with flags flying, but yet you don't know freedom when it's shoved right up in your face.
Freedom is not about control, so are you a socialist? Does your government take from one group to give to a "less fortunate" group? Is that your idea of freedom?
Control is not freedom, and liberty cannot be obtained if you won't let go.
RIAA is about control, but yet here you all are trying to control everything.
Shame on you.

Control
 

Ehhhh.... what does this have to do with anything??? This is Gnutella Forums!!!!

You may want to read Thomas Hobbes ;)

If you told me that without the moderators there would be no flames, there wouldn't have to be any control, but that's not so.

And no, I'm not ashamed, and don't have to be either.

Proves again, we NEED ALL to reg if they like to post. No reg should could read the post but thats all.
Only my wue...:D :D ;)

You sould register to show your support for Gnutella and if you need any help then an administrator can just PM you or email you in private. It's to your benefit not the benefit on the administrators.

Well said, kid, well said.

kids, can't someone thing about the kids!!!

and cats, dogs, poor people and administrators and dont forget about the kids!!!!

I am a kid. I know I may be a nuisance somethimes but I am trying to learn about Gnutella in hopes that I can help others. Is that not what Gnutella is all about helping others with their problems and clients? That is why it is open source so you can do that and I think that all cliens of Gnutella should be open source but that is not my decision.

Let's say that you have a question but you want to get one on one help with it. You can register and then post it and let a one of the moderators or administrators help you. For example, you could post a question and then Paradog could be nice enough to reply to that question through a PM if it is private. If you did not register then Parado for example would not be able to contact you one on one on the forums for help :)

Hehe, neither you nor I can call many people "kid"

Ivan
"In the dark we make a brighter light"

why?

It's something between him and me. He understands, right Paradog? :D Nothing to do with you, Watts ;)
