Re: The Race to 1k Posts thread.. BYOP!
Wow! All these nested quotes don't fit on my screen. I'll have to go out and buy a 21" monitor or something! Hmm, I'll wait until the price comes down a bit more, say, when it's come down to $50 or so.

Hey, does anyone around here like turn based space strategy games?
|
Hate them!
|
So why are you posting on a forum dedicated to one?
|
I was just wondering the same thing. Space Empires IS a turn based space strategy game for all of you who have never made the conection.
|
Hey Kerensky. Space Empires is most certainly NOT a turn based space strategy game. Get a clue, man. It's turn based space strategy game. Sheesh. The nerve of some people.
|
Hey, my head feels pretty spaced right now. Like it's spinning. Weee, lack of slepp is funn!
|
Now THAT is what I call a lot of quotes.
|
How is that a lot of quotes?
|
IMPRESSIVE.
|
How so? It isn't even giving me side-scroll bars.
|
How so? Most people use a needle and thread.
|
Funny, most people who I know sew use a sewing machine.
|
Hmm, how narrow can the inner quote box get?
|
Looks like excessively nested quotes can mess up formatting just like large pictures. The minimum width of a quote box appears to be dictated by the longest word in it, "Nodachi" in this case.
|
Guys, what is the longest word in the english language? PNEUMONOULTRAMICROSCOPICSILICOVOLCANOCO - I think it is a lung desease or something. Not really
|
Floccinaucinihilipilification! That's all I have to say on this matter. That word is one of the longest words not related to science, though it doesn't have much of a meaning (it basically repeats the same thing a couple of times).
|
And there is always antidisestablishmentarianism, which can actually mean something (besides making the forum suffer).
|
Right. However, if we were to track back into time to the beginings of the English language, the universally spoken english language as we all know, then I think we would find that our barbaric forefathers first spoken word must have been "NO." I mean it was the first word I learned.
|
It is extremely disconcerting to see my name getting contorted like that! So of course I'll add to it!
|
I believe one of the Old English words for no was "Na" (as far as I know, the vowel was not really the same as our current "a", but I am no Old English scholar), though this word did not quite have the same meaning as our no.
That was just a pretence to add to the thread though, and see what happens if we shorten Nodachi to "he"... Will the middle box be much shorter? Will it break the forum at last? Will John fall in love with Mary?
|
Now "turn-based" is the limiting factor. And yes, John will fall in love with Mary but won't stop seeing Sue.
|
Pain is tempory, posts are forever.
|
Someone please tell me, why are we trying to break the forum?
|
Because we have a mile-wide mean streak? And the forum is doing just fine, though 1600X1200 is no longer enough to avoid the side-scroll bars. Anyone has a higher resolution to check it out? (Now trying with turn based instead of turn-based)
|
Ah, we're stress testing the forum!
|
Hehe, more quotes! Anyway, can any of you top this word? Yes, this is an actual word, its the name of an organic molucule.

Molecule names should be right out. I mean, all someone has to do is look up polymer names...
