    So, who was disappointed the most?

    I bet Nintendo was, but I was too a little, going straight to that thread this morning, I just began having fun reading all those silly-funny posts.

    I guess there was good reason and after all I don't mind that much, as we were all wasting time.

    The thing is, what now?
    :)

    Well first of all you could increase the size of the links in your signature so we can actually read them. ;)

    Just don't mention the word "prize(s)" in this thread.

    I feel so empty now.

    I can now get work done.

    It was a fun little game that developed on its own but we crossed that line and it was rightfully locked.

    This will be my only post in this thread ;)

    I take da blame. :( MELLA came in and we had to explain it to her!! Of course I used the word 'pad your PC' a little too much, and out of the last few weeks, Shawn just had to come in during that one hour!!!!!!! :( Fill free to flog me. :( *cries* I think I'll go eat worms. :(

    I don't know about little!!!

    The size of my links is meant to be small.

    They are not serious websites as I just have fun online and try to learn something useful as in the near future I might need a new job.

    I use the signature mostly to get them indexed and just because I am allowed to.:)

    As far as the Yart thread is concerned, can someone tell me why stop it now and not a few days ago or in a few days? Is there a specific reason? It looked a little out of the blue for me as I got up this morning knowing I wasn't going to read all the night postings, but going to ask what Corena was up doing today (maybe a little later because of the time difference, I'm currently in Europe), but hey! Thread violently:)) ) closed!

    Just wondering, not complaining of course.:)

    Because the comments disentegrated into *Bump* etc rather then having any substance.

    Plus Nintendo kept saying the thread was set up to pad your post count (which was not the reason) so I imagine that it lost its usefulness and became Spam.

    Basically it got out of control which was always the danger. Had it stayed topical, I doubt it would have been locked

    There was a posting contests going on. In the 3 1/2 hours before the thread was locked about 1000 posts were made. Buy the time you put up a post and refreshed you were 2 pages behind. It was a little much.

    Oh, and there there was Nintendos comment on padding post count, the straw that broke the camels back;)

    OK, so it is Nintendo's fault! :mad: :D

    It sounds fair enough to me. After all it wasn't doing anyone any good if it went on that long.

    Maybe in the future a downgraded version could be interesting.
    That is quicker to end and giveout the prizes.

    Nintendo be alert!:)

    Regards to all the die hard Yart posters!:)

    I'm glad. Didn't matter how much I tried not to post, I couldn't help myself. It was a relief to see it locked.
