If I had left out the OT disclaimer, there would probably still be the usual whining and belly aching. You might be right - maybe the OT disclaimer automatically sets off those looking for something to whine about. Maybe I'll try that next time ... I admit to some uncertainty - the maturity level of this list has always been varied, from one extreme to another, but the whine level these last few years is so much worse than it used to be.
Five years ago the overall level of professionalism here was much higher than it is today. We would welcome a topic like web sites for our server and gaming communities, and have some pretty good discussions about it. Today I bring the topic up and it got so badly derailed that many of those that might have had some valuable contributions have probably long since filtered out this topic. It used to take more than an OT topic like this to get our feathers ruffled. Now I'm whining.... -Sent from my Momma- On 2/15/2010 10:35 PM, Sam Horn wrote: > Saying "this is off-topic" or similar instantly derails the thread and > causes infinitely more (useless) replies than would have occurred otherwise. > > On 16 February 2010 09:10, Ook<[email protected]> wrote: > > >> Yeah, this is slightly OT...what do you guys use to build websites for >> your servers?
