Sorry guys, a national service dick measuring contest is a step too off-topic even for my liberal moderating style. Put a lid on it, FFS.

This is getting to be a problem, so I'm going to put the suggestion of a 'flame pit' to the forum team and see what they think.

cheers

James

I am confused, why does the bit you have quoted have my name on it? I did not originally post that.

I would be grateful if a mod could please correct it, thanks.

EDIT: WTF? It's done it again to the quote I just did.

And so the long and short of the thread is;

That there are a number of mapping options open to you, I personally have a preferance for the MTE product, there are a number of other people who would concur, then again, there are others who would tell you otherwise, you pays your money and you takes your pick!!!!

VOC appear to need an 'Event Horizon'.

VOC do not host 'dick measuring contests' if they are deemed 'off topic', perhaps if a thread entitled "Dick Measuring Contest" were started then that may be acceptable.

Some VOC Forum users seem to get very easily offended for apparently little or no good reason (i.e. they come on read through 7 pages of a thread and then post just how 'outraged' they are that the Moderators haven't gone round and confiscated certain user's computers).

And for anyone who may choose to take offence in any way to my post - I simply don't care what you think, so DO NOT waste your energy in replying, I shant be arsed to read it anyway!!!!

As long as it doesn't break rules 1 and 2 (which this thread has, consistently, for several pages!), I think that would be fine. Perhaps "my dad's bigger than your dad" would be a more socially acceptable title?!

cheers

Oh...and the double quoting problems are people getting a bit over-active with the delete button.

Where you've got stacked quotes....e.g.

Quote:

...you need to open each quote with a [ quote] (without the space), and close it with a [ /quote] (again, sans space). The second [ /quote] gets lost very easily.

Example above:
Code:
[ quote=foggyjames][ quote=acshortt5]Oh no it isn't[ /quote]Oh yes it is[ /quote]
...without the spaces!

cheers

James
