Speaking of which, here are some stats for Minearverse in the two weeks following Tim's announcement of the cancellation. (So ~6:00 pm PDT 4/3/04 - ~6:00 pm PDT 4/17/04.)

New registrations: 229

(This does not count people who registered prior to the announcement, and then delurked after. There are a few of those as well, but I didn't look at that.)
New users who've only posted once: 47
New users who post "regularly" in Minearverse: 23 (10%)

Existing users who've only posted once: 29
(Didn't attempt to count "regulars" for this category.)

Don't know if any of this means anything. Basically, we've picked up a lot of new users, but the old users are still pretty chatty as well.

Next we'll find out you took all the 1's as well.

I call dibs on the 2's!

All your 1's & 0's are belong to me. I am binary.

Edited to add: You know, speaking of improperly placed natter.

Back on the warning graphic front... After a better review of the discussion and several failed attempts to make anything with a Doc Martin in it look anything but funny, it came back to this, for me.

Cutesy of any kind didn't seem to match up with the proposed use.

eta: Oops, messed up the URL, it is all better, now.

(never mind)

You need to replace the dot after images with a slash.

Jon, how do you see that being displayed? Left justified in the posting space?

Left justified in the posting space?

That's what I was thinking. Though I still like the round one or the one with the footprint.

Should it say warning? Coming late to the party here, so you can shoot me if you want, but aren't warnings what we do prior to banning? I'd hate someone to think they were about to be banned because they put a spoiler in the wrong place.

The round one was fine, as is the new one. I didn't like the anatomically correct footprint.
