These points that will replace the post counts. How about calling them "croutons"? Too cheesy? ____________ |

Aah wait yes I know what a crouton is, I've eaten those. Yeah I know where you were going to use it for, just wondering, being a dutch, about the English meaning. Talking about my English anyway, if you see any bad use of English in my posts then please let me know, however small the typo is. Like when I said a while back I was going to 'lay the table', I was pretty convinced that was the way of saying to 'set the table'. :p ____________ Personal website: http://www.loijson.com |

If by "set the table" you meant put out knives and forks and plates and things, then yeah they're interchangable  If you were talking about an html table then no that would just be weird

I meant putting out knives, forks and plates innit. My computer doesn't take care of my food *just yet*. The name 'Booleansoup' certainly ensures a healthy dose of foodtalk. ____________ Personal website: http://www.loijson.com |

Better than alphabetsoup anyway, isn't it? I don't even know the Dutch name for Crouton anyway, we always call them by the English name  Ps. Here are some totally offtopic words: Apartheid, Ballast, Commando, Gallop, Hottentot, Over, Snack, Splinter, Split, Spook. For more semi-random words go to Wiktionary!

Maybe I'm just getting old and wiser but depending on the audience you wish to attract you may be better forgetting about ranking points cos I have noticed amongst other 'more mature' communities that people really don't care about them.
