    We were discussing that very issue last night in the other box thread. It's a forum software/database issue that they have yet to resolve. Anything over 63,000 posts or so starts to not update automatically.

    Can we add something about being able to vote people out of the Box or is that against the whole community thing they try and create around here? :p

    For the record: I still have some issues with rule #21.

    Since your objection to rule #21, we could make you a test case for someone to vote out. ;) :p

    A sound plan. :p

    Luckily for you, rule #22 saves your bacon, as it were.

    Fine, before we begin voting people out, I would like to suggest that we add a rule the says "original" members of The Box have immunity.

    I'll go along with that as long as we can also include a rule to limit to three the number of people named Steve, Steven, or any iteration thereof. ;) We have like six of you guys, it's nuts.

    As a non founding member of BoxTalk 1.0, I support this notion in exchange for my own immunity. :-:
