Hmm... I'd say Merspi and BoS are two extremes of the VCE community spectrum.

VN sits in the middle.

(And I don't think the inequality goes any particular way -- it depends what you want really :P)

About as subtle as a brick to the face...

Watch him try to "subtly" insert Merspi into as many posts as he can make.

Hmm, forgive me if I'm wrong about my own intentions, but it was not to be subtle -- rather to point out a spectrum of where sites lie in terms of preferences (social/discussion versus Q&A).

(And there's nothing wrong with VN being in the middle -- it's what some people want. Merspi is creating it's own market, finding it's own cage.)

Pretty bitter of admin, seeing as the purpose of this site is to help VCE students, and Merspi has the same purpose

Nah, admin is quite sympathetic to Merspi, in terms of allowance of exposure on VCENotes! Cheers mate.

He just thought I was trying to be subtle, which I wasn't :)

What is Merspi?
And why does it have this quote on its homepage:


"I wish this website was around when I was in VCE."

About Merspi= http://vcenotes.com/forum/index.php/topic,18030.0.html

And why can't it have  that quote on its homepage? It's a testimonial.


But going back on topic, didn't any1 find BOS weird for posting that =.=*

It's a testimonial.
...by it's (partial?) owner.

I think most veteran VN'ers have built up a sense of immunity towards really anything that goes on at BoS.

Well yeah. He was merely stating that he had wished it was around when he was in high school? It's merely a wish, not an all out "this is a great site, everyone join, I liked it"<<<that would have been sus . 

Considering when designers first create a site there is a lot of empty spaces with 0 users to start off with, you do need to start somewhere.

I was merely answering Reitas question  "And why does it have this quote on its homepage", with the subtle answer of "because" =.=*

Yeh I wasn't refuting what you said ahah; more pointing out the weirdness of it all considering how easy it would be to get another testimonial.

Haha, don't worry about it, I deleted the post because I got what you meant afterwards :P

LOL! It's like the 3rd time that happens to me when we quote each other! This time though I used my brain a little :)

I was paid to say that testimonial (jokes)

I don't think I've ever said that though, but it is my sentiment. It's a placeholder ATM.

There are no funny moments left as all the funny members have left.

No one can be called Andrewloppolous... It's too retarded?

Andrew is my given name.

I knew a Michalakopoulos (spelled wrong, probably)
