QUOTE (Raie @ Dec 18 2006, 09:06 PM)
I won’t really be able to contribute very much to this thread, since I just joined three weeks ago. Though I can say one thing, ninety percent of you are intelligent people who can use grammar and speak properly. (Which I can safely say is way more than any other forum I’ve been to.)

Aside from that, I think this “grammar” test (Not “idiot” test, since I end up acting like an idiot no matter how hard I try.) you guys are talking about sounds like a good idea. As for actually performing the test, maybe it could pop up when a new user decides to register, and has to be completed (With a decent score) to be able to register. AND maybe, you could only try the test once per week (Once per day?) to prevent people from repeatedly trying to pass in a row? (Even though figuring out how to do this would probably be frusterating to do.)

...Maybe?

Go RAIE! Your idea is great. People could just remember answers after taking in 8 times. nod.gif

Well, I was also thinking. (Although this would be a PAIN) there could be about five or six tests, and the one that comes up each time would be randomized. (Even though they could probably bypass this by refreshing.)

It would be like they all had different answers, and the taker could just write all the answers down to get in.

An "IQ" test would make us sound elitist.

And a referral system would make the community very limited. A RO server I'm on uses it and jesus christ, everyone has the same ****ty sense of humor

Everyone's first year is going to be "best" for them with little exception. And each year after that will be "worse and worse"

well.
yeah.
late 05 was the win imo, and early 06 was pretty good too. just started degerating.
but again, i've said this a billion times. just the kind/amount of replies you get in a newbie topic at mfgg when you're a girl... definitely enough fun to convince you to stay. i'm glad i did, too. i've made some serious friends. yeah, some nice people are still out there. but there are too many people out there who seem to just be out to getcha and devour your brains and afdgablaaaaaargh. >:O so. i guess we just have to do the best we can on our part.

'cause the old times are never coming back. :[

mfgg is like the stock market

it has its ups and downs, and sometimes it crashes violently

this has been another Xgoffism™
