    >>> and it was not thread bumping...

    From the board rules. You did read the board rules didn't you? I added the bold font to help you see.
    5. Don't bump threads. (Bumping: posting messages on threads to move them up the list or to post on a thread that has been inactive for two weeks or longer).
    In what way was replying to a long dead thread from August 2004 not thread bumping? I'm intruiged.

    Reporting mods for picking you up on your rule breaking is not going to help you.

    how is posting something older than 2 weeks bumping a thread? where is the common sense in that. if you just reply to get it up k, or if the question was already answered and there is nothing to discuss ok. but clearly im forced to leave forums again bye..

    The common sense is that a questioner asking a question here 18 months ago is not likely to be sitting waiting for an answer still. He will have found an answer somewhere else or solved it himself.

    If you posted a very basic question 18 months ago, would you still be looking for an answer?

    I think we're going to enjoy your time there a lot more than here, too.

    There are reasons for the rules here. They have been developed over many years, by a lot of very experienced people, and for the most, they work. We will not be changing them anytime soon.

    >>> im gonna enjoy my time at codeguru alot more than here.

    If you approach codeguru, (where many of us are also regulars of course), the way you approached here, I somehow doubt it.

    Feel free to ignore this advice, but the net is a big bad ugly place, where people are quick to flame, and far more mercilessly then you have ever been shown here.

    If you have been upset by the way you were treated here, you really need to consider an alternative strategy for your learning process.

    Good luck.
