Finnish women are fat? I wouldn't have thought that. What did I say?

You're giving the machines a bad reputation here.

Things got a bit rough in the last couple of weeks, but stick around. I believe that normality is being resumed.

Realistically, the only way to answer that is by abstraction to generalize the problem, using pointers at various members, and type casting. All in all, nobody can write decent code just with abstraction, pointers can be dangerous, and excessive type casting is usually the sign of a bad design. I think similarly, nobody can come up with a decent answer either. But more importantly, why wasn't I on your list of personalities? ;P Marc

This used to be a nice place to visit. There was great personalities like Roger Wright, Colin Davies, Daniel Turini, Nish, Megan, code-frog, peterchen, Marc, Jörgen, Kari, Lauren, Anna, JoeSox, Chris, John(the outlaw one), Dunn and a lot more. And all those people that went to Microsoft, Brian, Tom etc. Some are still here but the general "feeling" of the Lounge is gone. Can somebody explain that? jhaga

It started happening at about the 200,000 user mark. I wish that the Indian universities would have a course on proper article posting. Fully 9 out of 10 rejected articles are from Indians that are completely clueless as to what makes an acceptable article.

The Lounge is as it was, and will be again. Or something. :rolleyes: Every new thread posted has an opportunity to bring out the best... or the worst... in its readers. Rather than asking the past to save you from the present, look to it for inspiration and, in each new thread you post, aspire to improve the forum to which you post. Or to put that another way, don't whine about a bad situation, work to improve it.

Sorry, I've been abducted to a bachelor torture camp (also known as "a friends wedding") :D Thank you for making me make that list :-O If you ask me, the prime reason is the influx of many new developers. Remember that 99.9% of everything sucks. If you press me really hard, I'd say it's the influx of many new developers who - for lack of skill or lack of care - want to "contribute" without matching traditional standards of language or conduct. It's what comes swith success. Second, We are living in what has been called "interesting times". Much of what interests me tangents politics or religion - but saying something like "WAR SUCKS" has turned from an attitude into a political statement (Yes, that's ridiculous). The soapbox has caught most of the extreme chaff of the influx. But this has also turned it from an treehugger-vs.-moneyhugger arena into a mosh pit of "lowest standards win". Third, what drove us here was Microsoft. We could praise Microsoft without beein booed on, we could rant at Microsoft without being recommended to switch to Linux. However, Microsoft is changing, and so does our attitude. Our view of Microsoft has grown more diverse, which made our common ground a bit brittle. Just thre guesses at the reasons.
We are a big screwed up dysfunctional psychotic happy family - some more screwed up, others more happy, but everybody's psychotic joint venture definition of CP
