i was trying to make two posts in a row today and the site wouldn't let me. is this a new thing due to everyone making 40 posts a day? the site has been quite flooded with activity recently especially since school is out. (which is great that so many people are into the features and getting along) i do have a hard time keeping up, especially since im in school. just wondering what this is about, and if its always been in effect and im just clueless...

Yes, the 'flood prevention' has been around for a while. It's main purpose is to prevent people from writing a program to completely flood the message board with junk.

I have also noticed the surge in activity. In some ways, it seems like the whole thing is out of control because the topics bounce around so wildy and so quickly. But I think it's really cool because everyone is getting along very well, the conversation is entertaining, and it keeps people involved with the Features.

Again, I agree with Tom Foolery. We all do seem to get along well, and we all seem to have the same taste in a lot of things. I think that is one of the main reasons, other than love for The Features of course, that people keep on getting on here. I know it is one of my many reasons at least.

I get along with every one on this board except for one un-named, conceited punk who bagged my milk and bread together out of spite last week.

I think it's because the Features bring such peace and harmony to our lives that it makes us love everyone. Therefore, if the Features got some international exposure, it could finally bring about world peace and possibly end poverty.

In response to the initial question of this thread, I think the answer will come from us all bonding together and asking,

W.W.E.D.

What would Eno do?

'Flood Prevention' was initiated as a result of elliott - 148 posts in about 3 days.
