Apolyton's quotes
Where do they get those things? They kind of irritate me because I never have quite enought time to read them. Somebody tell me where the list is so I can read through it and be at peace.

Now Now, let's be nice.

To tell you the truth, I have no idea where they get the quotes.....some are from members conversations here, some are famous, others are from Star Trek.....This place is very eclectic.

"DL" is a tradition for "settlers"

There are two old threads in the community forum with all the quotes that Apolytoner's have added. The rest of the quotes (StarTrek and similar) are part of the standard Fortune quotes database.

Stands for Double Log on... meaning you are just somebody else who already posts and are just having some fun... Multiple Log ons are not allowed at Apolyton.

But you can lay off folks... he passes the standards tests and ISN'T a DL...

Hey, I have learned that everytime someone who has just registered as a member and posts in OT AND uses smilies MUST be DL. I admit that my trigger finger was itching.. sorry..

plus ever since Tito1000 got busted resulting banning for a week, I've been hunting all these other DLs so they can feel how bad it is. Repent!

So I'm assuming that nobody, not even Ming, knows where that list is.

Ming: Is the board set up so you can automatically test for DLs? I remember before you had to just test IPs against each other manually IIRC

There's a bunch of ways of checking. All relatively swift and easy.

AHhhh yes but then there are those that do challnege the mind. I almost thought about making one but we each have such distinctive posting styles that it should also become obvious before to long.

number one test for DLs: Check the Settler's IP versus the first person to do the .

number two test: do they rant? do they argue? do they know how to use smileys? do they know whut DL stands for

number three test: Chinese Water Torture. (they don't call him Ming for nothing. )
