So, we bypass also the 3000 limit.

Shawn, it was only short lonely in this Millenium club.

With great pleasure we have enter them. The board inspire us with
new things and we hope that our reactions are useful for you.
Of course it isn't always possible to return a definitive reac-
tion for a question, problem, comment or other issue.
Environments can be more complex:
- different kind of operating systems (windows, linux, mac, novell),
- sometimes very unique software are installed,
- sometimes cheap hardware elements much be supported,
- network architecture can be very different,
and
sometimes - in our opinion - obsolete elements must be supported
also, which cost a great amount of time for finding a good solu-
tion. Obsolete elements were introduce without having the right
support agreements f.e. four digits year and missing Euro symbol.
Also those elements prevent sometimes the usage of new elements
of your current operating systems, which can make the maintenance
and management more complex.

Also we thanks all the questions about and reactions to our site
http://home.wanadoo.nl/scripting
Of course we see also sometimes other sites, which inspire us for
new ideas. But we find the contents more important than the in-
troducing of all kind of animations which mostly required addi-
tional plug-ins and which prevent visualization of our contents
on different version of internet browsers.
Also important was:
quote:

one page contains all relevant information about published
scripts, tools, kixtart software and other stuff.

At least we will thanks:
  • Ruud who makes it possible that his great software doesn't be-
    come obsolete. "Obsolete" when his latest release wasn't suppor-
    ting the new windows versions like ME, 2000 and XP. "Obsolete"
    when some additional features weren't introduced for the KiXtart
    community when other scripting language contains them.
  • Henri who makes it possible that we - the KiXtart lovers - can
    share their passion. The monthly grow of new members and new to-
    pics confirm that this site supplies members need.
    Specially when all effort is volunteer work.
  • Henri who accepts new moderators on the forums.
    - Moderators who are mostly very active on the board.
    - Moderators who knows in which way the fastest response is possible.
    - Moderators who have together an enormous knowledge of kixtart language.
    - Moderators who want to make the board even better than the best one.
  • the top 100 members who are very active. To help other people.
To inspire other with a new point of view for existing problems.
To show what is possible with KiXtart. The only conclusion can
be: KiXtart can do hardly everything. KiXtart doesn't have limi-
tations.
For the next millennium.
For new great topics.
For new inspire ideas.
For new KiXtart features.
We have define a formula - second version - which influences your
delay. It is depending of
-how fast you are reaching the new Millenium
-what your voted value is.
-what your weight factor is.
Our formula
code:
   SELECT
CASE (counter <= 1000)
delay=0.25
CASE (counter > 1000) AND (DateDiff(M1 - M2) <= 365)
.
365 - DateDiff(M1 - M2) DateDiff(C - X)
delay = Abs(2.5*(-------------------------)/(-----------------) + 100/Abs(100 - Ra)*Abs(W - 3.75))
DateDiff(M1 - M2) 365
.
CASE 1
delay=0.50
ENDSELECT
.
.
.
DateDiff; calculates the amount of days between both values.
.
C = current_date
X = registration_date
M1 = enter_date_current_millenium
M2 = enter_date_previous_millenium
.
Re = registration number of this member
Ra = current_rate
W = current_weight_factor

e.g. MCA values
code:
   C  = 2002171      (20 June 2002)
X = 2000119 (28 April 2000)
M1 = 2002171 (20 June 2002)
M2 = 2002022 (22 January 2002)
.
Re = 732
Ra = 28
W = 4.99
.
delay becomes: Abs(1.691584+1.722222) = 3.414 seconds

greetings.

btw: Shawn, your delay value becomes now Abs(0.801623+1.516129) = 2.318 seconds

(our reaction 3000 to the board)

MCA,

Well what I can say?

Let's see here.. You have come through for me on several occasions.. Remember the games removal script? [Smile] Very interesting concepts you gave. You are a very insightful, and giving individual.

Good to see that you have made this milestone.

Kix sure is fun aint it?

I mean look where it has come:
Enhancing the scripts that batch cannot do without a magnitude or two more of programming or using external files..

And today? We are doing stuff with COM, ADSI, WSH, WBEM, etc.

Where is it going? I think we give Ruud great inspiration to continue and update his product.

Kinda like going from the horse and buggy to be a man on the moon. [Big Grin]

Before I go off on too many more tangents. I will stop.

Congratulations again.

Kent

The idea was inspired by Howard's idea of resetting the counter and Les' idea about
to let members become young again.
Radimus was inspired by your personal physic condition.

We are inspired by the idea:
  • people who are the most active ones which are most loved by you becomes highest delay
    to enter a reaction. Other members must have also the challenge to react.
    We advice you
  • to become now a member. a long membership reduces delay factor.
  • combine chats in one reaction. a long period between two Millenium jumps reduces
    delay factor.
  • to become hated by the other members. hate prevents a high votes value and weight
    rating. it implicits a reduction of your delay factor.
Also it is possible that we change the Add Reply button a little bit. You must
only try to catch it like the press button on this page little delay.
greetings.
