Hi, as a frequent macNN-forum surfer I came up with some questions.

Why do moderators put so much effort in helping others?
Are you on a payroll?
By whom?
Do you ever recruit members?
Have you been a member before?

greetz,

Micha

Oh I will promote our site. Sites like these are very worthful. Is it okay if non-commercial apple-sites create a hotlink to this site?

Out of curiosity:

Who are the big guys in MacNN?

Supposing MacNN had to be shut down for some time, do you follow security procedures just like when a plane is about to drop an H-bomb???

Have you ever seen "Dr. Strangelove"? Oooh! THAT movie should be cooked in a DVD and I would buy it!!!

do you have a spare key for that bunker?

How did you guys manage to create "floodcontrol"? I am very interested and curious to know.

Note to Godfather:

Dr. Strangelove is available on DVD. This must-have masterpiece was one of my first purchases. Funny thing, though... I have a lady friend who is hearing impaired and she was mightily PO' d to learn that this DVD is only subtitled in French and Spanish.... Kind of odd, Huh?

'How does floodcontrol work?" was my question. Since I asked this question, strange things have happened to me..like all my 9 hamsters escaped from their cage in one night..even the horny male I kept in solitary confinement in a cage next to it..

..You NN guys wouldn't happen to know anything about that would you..?

The question still stands

still nutral, but now thinks that ninja is an immature little kid who needs to get a life. Flame away! personal attacks or what-not. I've made my point and will no longer comment regarding this whole thing or anything related...
