Well, dudes ... there's been quite a bunch of aggressive posts, trolling discussions, splitted threads, moved out threads and the like these lasts days.

You should be aware that you're all involved in keeping a good level in these forums. Proper moderating a thread that's gone crazy takes a considerable amount of patience so if we can't take the week-end away without having the board full of hatred we've to remove, we'll end up by just deleting or locking threads even when they contain something useful.

I don't want MT to move that far -- i guess nobody does, yet i see everyone going into that direction.

So, please take care of what you say, make sure you resolve conflict by private messages rather than online and please avoid sayings that other people may take wrong.

Thanks for your attention. This post will begone in a week.

That being said, in the name of the whole MT crew, i present you our best wishes for the new year. May 7d6 bring you lots of zeroes and ones, successful compilations and keeps you away from segmentation fault and cache misses ^_^

Hear ye, hear ye. Well spoken, Pype.

My apologies to all who experienced the more "edgy" side of my personality - including those cases where I still feel justified. In a perfect world, we all would be able to take all comers with equal patience and friendlyness.

Everybody has weaknesses. But likewise, everyone has strengths. For some on this forum, it is experience - in being on this forum, in being a professional developer, in being an OS coder, or a combination of those three. Others are eager to learn.

This forum is about bringing those strengths together. That means listening as well as talking, and admitting you're wrong from time to time - wrong in the way one asked a question, or wrong in the way one answered it.

I hope we can keep this forum the excellent ressource it is. Together.

PS: Is there any way the forum search function could be replaced with something improved? It's less than intuitive, and turns up empty for "known good" queries as often as not...
