Suggestion for Free Republic
Vanity | 4-12-2011 | Melas

Posted on 04/12/2011 5:22:44 PM PDT by Melas

I have a suggestion for the software. How about a box that pops up when I'm posting that says something to effect of:

Attention, you've been clicking from thread to thread, and you're about to reply to a topic that has been dead for 3 years, are you sure you want to look like an idiot?

I for one would find it useful.

:)

I dunno, but I always wish I could hurry up and delete it before anyone notices.

. . . and you thought it was now.

It's not now? When is it, then?

Getting it deleted is far quicker than thinking of what kind of BS you can come up with to explain yourself!

Oh well, I always said the nice thing about FR is that I can usually get insulted at least once a day.

Did you ever notice that when you are choosing topics to post a thread in News/Activism that “Anthrax Scare” is still a Hot Topic?

How about when you go to your state page and there is no link back to the forum?

I’ve always thought that Breaking News and Front Page News were backwards. Front Page News should be the biggest stories, and Front Page News should be the latest.

I think everyone should be able to see how many threads and replies you’ve posted.

I’d also like an automatic function that prevented anyone from posting a thread until they posted at least 100 replies. If the first thread you post is a vanity or links to a blog your computer should immediately be infected with the Stuxnet virus. This would require a little more programming.

If you are going to post that you think someone who supported Hillary Clinton in 2008 would make a good President you should be banned from FreeRepublic until you have read the entire Downside Legacy. Twice. (Oldtimers will know what I’m talking about)

Come to the picnic on July 23 and discuss it with him in person.

You forgot to tell him place a paper bag containing $20,000 behind the water heater, in the basement, four hours prior to the meeting.

It's a minor, but pertinent, detail.

LOL! No, that’s the secret charm of FR.

THAT would have been perfect for the Undead Thread.
But Danny H just had to be a whiny jerk so they removed the thread.
He hated being humiliated, it would have been epic.

Laz has a sense of humor.
That’s why I like having him around.

This would be similar to a Govt. program that releases you from personal responsibility.

There should be a word to describe the way you feel when someone mentions the thread is 6 months old and you thought it was now.

You know what's going to happen? In 6 months someone will bring this thread back...

And there should be a mood stone on your posting page.

Just put the $20,000 there inside the porch. We will find it.

You know there is some site out there that has little icons you can put before your post to reflect what kind of mood your in.

Can’t remember where I saw it though.

I must have seen it when I had more realistic stuff in mind like recipes and horoscopes rather than politics. LOL
