Do you think it's possible that they may not even try to advertise if you increase the number of required posts?

Increasing post counts for things never works.

yeah no, there would just be more one word posts to get to the limit to adverstise. It's not going to deter them one bit.

It's set at 15 so that it's low enough to give them an incentive to try to get around it and make them visible to us but also high enough to cause them inconvenience.

OK, so I was gonna embed a youtube video that had audio for a song I mentioned. Youtube doesn't have the song, so I used grooveshark and posted the URL. It works and everything, but is there a way to have audio from sites like grooveshark or last.fm embedded directly into the thread, without opening another window? Is that something MB can do, or is it up to the 3rd party site?

[Urban Hat€monger ?]

As far as I know anything that can be embedded into the forum like that needs to be enabled in the forum software by the admin first, assuming they want us to have it.

I suppose if enough people want it there's no harm in asking.

Thanks for the answer, Urban. Youtube has most stuff. But for the times when it doesn't sites like grooveshark and last.fm usually have anything and everything.

We need more posting. I seriously am shocked after two months away due to bitterness and I come back to practically nothing.

Pretty naive statements in 3 ways, my friend.

1) MB, like any web forum doesn't "need" any posting. What you see is what you get. This goes beyond MB and the the whole effin www to boot. There's a non-internety world out there as well and you shouldn't feel entitled to anything out there either no matter how much you contribute. Yours and everybody's contributions of any kind don't ever necessarily warrant a reward. Contribute what you want to offer regardless of what you get back. Life lesson #1.

2) Shocked? Bitter? At MB? Having those feelings about a web forum is mos def not healthy. It reflects your feelings about all existence. /Life lesson #2

3) I'm a fucking idiot for responding or even reading your post here. I'd rather stop living than be emotionally affected by whatever words people express. Luckily I'm not emotionally affected by that. But I don't like seeing intelligent humans like yourself being too affected by words or lack thereof, and it seems that you are and that's why I bothered to type all this shit.

Okay, I'm done being a didactic bastard for now. I apologize for being a dick if that's what I've just done. If it helps: I haven't looked at MB for a while b/c I'm busy for a change. I may not be back for a while after this. But I'll logon again one day probably soon. I like MB but what people post or don't post here won't ever affect my emotions in a serious way. That shouldn't ever happen to anybody who truly gives a shit about their short, ever-waning life. See wut I mean?
