doubted that when I first saw it.
And I don't need your reminder, I do remember the April Fools joke 2003 by Holger. Hence I mentioned clearly SillyDog701's technical sections are
not for stupid jokes.
No Antony, how did you
know it was an April fools joke? I didn't ask when you doubted it.
Antony wrote:ChrisI wrote:Should Champs not be trusted with anything at any other time of the year?
Some people like to make fun by fooling others ended up demeaning themselves. Don't blame me.
If you honestly believe that's what the Champs do all year round, you're an idiot.

Everyone can clearly see the post in his UFAQ.org forum and secnews are completely opposite

contradiction.
You're still mistaking it.

Well, some people demeaned themselves.
And I believe at least [sdp=29622]DJGM agrees with me[/sdp].
Lets hope they learnt their lesson.
Sure, I believe majority of SillyDog701 users know who they
cannot trust.
Then why
tell them who not to trust? Looks like you don't believe they know.
Antony wrote:ChrisI wrote:When I say "wait until April 2nd", don't assume anything.
If anything, waiting until April 2nd confirmed that the new announcement about Netscape was not an April Fools joke.
It did not assume anything? I doubt how many people read it that way
back then.
Then what about this bit...

Err, I said "When I say 'wait until April 2nd'..."
Your quote was after that; and you should highlight "
not ruling anything out".
Antony wrote:ChrisI wrote:Antony wrote:Netscape Browser Archive will soon celebrate its 5th year anniversary. Over those years, SillyDog701 has been working hard on providing support to many different range of users. SillyDog701 does believe passing on correct information/knowledge is far more important than making fun or stealing attention by fooling others or creating false hope.
I didn't pass on correct info?
[sdt=338]UserAgent string[/sdt] along the posts in not a difficult thing to add. However, it has been one of the unique features of SillyDog701, ever since the old message board.
It is very obviously to most technical-mind people, such [sdt=338]UserAgent[/sdt] displayed along the posts is to help the support.
Never was it designed to fool other members.It is very fair to say
using SillyDog701's unique feature to fool other members is something
with very bad intention. Such behaviour can be considered as
abusing SillyDog701's resources.
If you consider that to be "passing" incorrect info, ban UA spoofing.
Many people spoof their UAs, and I did not state whether or not the UA was real. In fact, if you read DJGM's post, you'll notice that he questions the validity of the UA.
Antony wrote:ChrisI wrote:BTW, why did you make that amendment to the forum rules during the fifth year?
Why not?
I am not perfect, and I can't predict everything in the beginning.
Many things happened over those years, the rules, users' privileges and permissions and many others should be adjusted from time to time.
What's wrong with that?
I can't predict how people will take my statements. Why should I not be trusted, and you be above the law?
Antony wrote:ChrisI wrote:Antony wrote:SillyDog701 never has good relationships with other major communities including MozillaZine and Netscape's secure newsgroups (secnews). Not even UFAQ.org.
Here's what I don't get: why do you keep claiming that? Knowing you, it could very well be a bad assumption on your part. And if it is true, why are you proud of it?
Did I say anything wrong? Bad assumption?
As for MozillaZine part, there are plenty of "active" Mozilla users who happened to loathe Netscape. Not all of them, but quite a lot.
That's it? That's supposed to translate to "SillyDog never has good relationships with MozillaZine"? What does that have to do with Sillydog at all; and why should a few people on Mozillazine be your representation of what Mozillazine is? I'm a Sillydog user. Do I represent Sillydog? Once again, you're LEAPING to conclusions. Any quotes from Jason?
Antony wrote:Netscape's newsgroups (secnews)?
They like to mention other resources but SillyDog701's.
I've seen no evidence of this, although you don't establish who "they" are.
Antony wrote:UFAQ.org?
Never noticed any relationship between UFAQ.org and SillyDog701. In fact I saw no mention of SillyDog701 at all.
This brings up another question. Why should there be any relations at all? If what you mean by "relationship" is user support volunteers citing Sillydog resources, you should note that there is a large crossover in user support personnel between Sillydog and the UFAQ. Many of the same faces (or I guess avatars).
Antony wrote:Why am I proud of it?
From a relatively unknown website to today's community, although still no where near the MozillaZine, SillyDog701 came through a difficult way. SillyDog701 have today's success without many of those big name's support. SillyDog701's achievement is what I am very proud of. Why shall I not mention it?
It sounds more to me like you
want to be an outcast, just to play up the independent success, "we beat the odds", "the man is trying to keep me down" angle. You're certainly encouraging it.
Antony wrote:ChrisI wrote:Antony wrote:SillyDog701 tried, but failed. But SillyDog701 survived, and SillyDog701 has grown a lot.
What does that have to do with this discussion?
That was an addition to previous part - no relationships with other major Netscape/Mozilla communities, sadly.
Okay, what does the previous part have to do with this discussion (which is whether or not to trust the Champs)?
Antony wrote:ChrisI wrote:From
previous discussions we've had, it is clear to me that you can't access secnews, because you won't use a news client that supports SSL.
I am very proud that I switched to Mac.
Not related to this discussion.

Well, what's your setup?
Antony wrote:ChrisI wrote:Why can't you let the site sell itself? People don't browse to Sillydog to read adverts for Sillydog.
Perhaps I missed "
About SillyDog701" before that paragraph, I will do that next time.
And what's wrong with mentioning it?
There's no reason to.
Antony wrote:ChrisI wrote:If Sillydog is as good as you say it is, why do you feel the need to keep reminding people?
So SillyDog701 is not as good as I said? Sorry, you don't agree.
I never answered the question, but thanks for jumping to conclusions...again.
Antony wrote:In most Press Release there's a section about the company itself, including Netscape's Press Release. I don't mention that in every single post, but only when the post is related to SillyDog701 itself.
How, in the world, is this discussion related to your recommendation not to trust the Champs?
I'm pretty sick having to put out flames, that you throw toward me or the Champs in general. If you don't want me posting on Sillydog, say so, and stop pussyfooting around it. I assume the other regulars of the Sillydog forums are getting sick and tired of seeing the two of us bicker over
ridiculous matters.
