It's google analytics, standard traffic and stats monitor. OOG.

Move along. Nothing to see here.

Dear Mods...

I think UF should seriously consider investing in a Troll emoticon. Speaks a thousand words.

Explain yourself. Lest there be a seafood duel at the O.K. Forum...

What link? It's GA code.

When you are performing a trouting - a declaration that a topic has been discussed before - you are supposed to provide a link to the post or whole thread where the topic was previously discussed. Without this, all you are telling someone is 'yeah yeah, we already talked about that' and not showing the conclusions reached. You are also being just as complacent and dismissive about searching for information and providing constructive feedback as the person you propose to trout.

If you didn't intend to declare that the topic had been discussed before, you completely misapplied the trout. That is as deserving of a flounder as not following the conventions of trouting.

The trout has the convention of providing a link to the previous discussion to make it a useful and effective tool for guiding new players to engage in the game effectively and respectfully. Using it as a bludgeon on new players is neither. Experienced players (or at least ambitious ones) are expected to know how to use the trout, and the flounder is the admonishment for not doing so.

Please note the trout and flounder emoticons are actually links to the glossary explaining the origins of the terms.

Hahahah...wow...there's a glossary for the fish? LMAO! Sorry, that's too funny. I didn't know there was a rule about posting a link...and god only knows what page it's on now ;p

So I officially clarify that the above GA code has been asked and discussed/dismissed previously and you can find it in one or more of the gazillion pages on one of these topics...but I'm sooo not going hunting for it.

Flounder tastes kinda like chicken!

Obviously, this is setting the date pre-1970 as we all thought. The Red Cozmo is obviously a reference to the Soviets in the space race. So, IMO, we are looking early 60s right now, as we landed on the moon in '69 signifying the end of the space race.

Can not believe it's been 41 years and we still don't have a moon base!

Happy Lunar Landing Day Everyone Smile

Regardless, today's anniversary is something for USA citizens to reflect on that is positive more than negative these days.

The Eagle has landed. I was only six-and-a-half but I remember watching on TV. Amazing times.

Isn't it amazing how 75% of americans are absolutely oblivious to this date? Shouldn't we be celebrating this date in time as one of the major accomplishments of all time... across the entire world? Yet, there's a cult following that celebrate the landing on the moon for what it really is... "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."

Maybe because 75% of Americans think we should legalize pot, and incidentally 75% of Americans believe the moon landing was staged?
