    Because the rules were changed without telling the players.

    In a forum, the contributors are the forum.

    When the contributors get 'punished' for contributing (in this case by taking some of the fun away), one should not be surprised if they stop contributing.

    A message from the mods of "we do not value your input" will inevitably result in some people being hurt, especially if they feel they have added value to CUK by posting.

    In TPD we snare new posters and make them stay. Hence TPD adds value to CUK. Part of the game is the post count and 'rewarding' posters with bananananas and the like.

    That is likely to stop and will result in loss of value to CUK.
    Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.

            We could try to educate the natives in general. Make them a bit more civilized.

              The "signal" LED is labelled "Singal" - it took me a while to work that one out!

              It had little stick-on plastic slidey bits to allow it to move about - they lasted about 25 minutes.

                    Not sure what, if anything, to do... I may pop up to Maplin and get a replacement power supply for my Windows laptop.

                    Then it can sit in the corner spidering TPD for me

                    Then again, I could get my venerable PowerMac to do that... nine years old, running Tiger, and still a powerful and responsive machine

                    I wonder how a nine-year-old PC running XP would perform
