regarding the ~100 viewings and ten posts is most people who posted were interested in what people after them said and viewed it after each response it would account for 55. Actually if it is counted when you get redirected after posting it's up to 65. So maybe it's focused interest of a few and not recalcitrance ...

Scilosopher...

regarding the ~100 viewings and ten posts... ... maybe it's focused interest of a few and not recalcitrance ...

I quite agree.
In fact, I can confirm that I personally must account for ten to fifteen of the viewings.
It's a very dynamic thead, if you know what I mean.
'Cause of this, people who (a) know the thread exists and (b) have been interested enough to post are very likely to return to view.
I suppose these are the people who want to not just be talking to avatars!

1. How did you first hear about Sciforums?
I used to visit it when it was Exosci.com, several years ago. I never knew there was a forum, yet I visited it at least once a day.

Then, last spring I came back, just for laughs, and found this whole new site there! Wow!

Well maybe us multi-viewers can fatten up the posts a little too with semi off topic comments and general gossip.

Should the hamster post twice for its two identities??

Goofyfish,
Judging by ther number of people who have responded to this thread - and the level of anonymity still involved - I'm guessing space wouldn't be an issue. Personally I just don't have any pictures of myself in electronic format. Or normal pictures either apart from my various ids (well maybe a couple, but nothing recent). I would certainly be curious to see other people's pictures (though I'm sure some jokers would put up cartoons/joke pics/etc).

 

It's time for someone to invent a disposable digital camera. I think that it's possible to digitize (if that's a word) regular pictures by either scanning them at a friend's place or forking them over to any chain 1 hour photo store.

I have a crappy digital camera now but I lost the software which renders the thing useless, lucky for me I lost the software RIGHT after a total system wipe, losing hundreds of .jpgs of everything.

 

How did tht happen!
Were playing with registry or perhaps a virii?


(I have bought for a 1Gb hdd for yust a few bucks($6) and keep it as my backup. starts to run short of space recently though).

5. What do you do when you're not here (i.e. occupation etc.)?

Hmm... my name is Paul, but someone who last posted in July of 1999 has that username here.

 

actually avatar we (my family and I) think it was a virus from this program called 'marketscore.' If you ever see that on the net avoid it, the thing totally f*d up the internet for me and we spent a week ripping apart our pc and then throwing it back together.

I'd start a picture forum if I had any pictures of myself...

 

Is there a possibility of attaching files to pm's?

 

Oooh...dangerous...
