The size of MacNN is exactly why I started hanging out here. I like knowing most of the people that post. It's easier to get to know them. There were just too many people at MacNN to even make a dent.
Got a tip for us?

It's because I tend to see you answering alot, because of the time difference from the Uk, I miss all the hardcore posting action when all of the states wake-up I'm off to bed.....
However you seem to be one of the early birds, so I seem to end up following alot of your posts, or vice-verse, when you answer some of mine.. they always seem quite grounded and reasonable, as opposed to "Oh the G5's will be out next week, at 4Ghz..... I have inside information"
But man, u still been on heavy duty posting duty recently, the same as I was a few weeks ago, then all of a sudden, you get those things called DEADLINES.... and they must'nt be broken!! that's what's happened to me over the last few weeks...... I'm not really fussed about the number of posts, what annoys me is when I miss a really good thread that I think I could probably have added alot to, sometimes by the time you get there, everything you wanted say has already been said.....

Re: dukestreet
I hear you. I think that's one of the reasons I've been posting a lot lately. I know I'll never be able to keep up the pace, but I've been lucky at work lately and have been rendering and some other things that require me to take a few minutes here and there and do something else. I tend to gravitate to MacRumors.
But I've also found out that the threads can be a little nonlinear and there's nothing wrong with quoting or following up on something that was said the day before. It helps once in a while to bring the thread topic back to focus now and again too.
The worst though, has to be when you've started a thread and you want to keep up with what's been said. Sometimes you just can't do it. And because of the global nature of the net, its always great to get up in the morning and see what the aussies or europeans have said while you've been sleeping.

Re: Re: dukestreet
I also hear that completely...it's been really hard to keep up lately because I have about 50 things going on at once in my life right now...and I've been hella busy at work...
seems the only time I get to really look around much anymore is late at night...
but I'm gonna try to stay afloat as much as possible...

Re: General good.
i kinda worry about that too... but i figure, what the hell... if people don't think my presence here is anything but a waste of space, they'll tell me... I rarely comment on rumors and technical stuff, because it's been years since I've known that kind of thing... i have a bit of a memory problem, so rather than say things that are probably misremembered, i post in General and just have fun with it. Love the Macs & ___ threads, 'cause it's good insight into Mac user's heads...

I do practically all of my posting under general. I usually just don't have that much to contribute to the rumors section. Does that make me a bad poster???

Way to go Beej, glad you made it to Demi-God hood. Nice 'tar by the way, part of the Aussie Flag, Southern Cross, right? Only ever saw that when I was in Fiji a few years back. I'm a bit of a stargazer now and then - been watching the planets lining up, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are all visible right now up here in DC, saw then last night, very cool. On May 5-6 they'll be even better with the moon a small cresent right in the middle.
Re: Demi-God
Well, there's nothing stopping you from getting one. And you'd get the coveted Demi-God status. Besides, you'd have the warm tingly feeling knowing you're one of the few supporters of the best Mac rumor site on the web.

Mugs.
You know, about a month ago I tried to buy a mug a couple of times and the system wouldn't let me. I was at work on my PC (maybe *that* was the problem) and the purchasing system just seemed to be broken. I guess I'll have to try again.
Anyone else have these troubles??
