You didn't start a petition with 7500 votes like Fatia...

Ads make the link pretty lame.

Other than that, nicely done. The post had elements of chain letters of yesteryear, along with other memes of yesteryear. It was kind of a pungent bouquet of memeness.

I don't get how you can miss vb6 :?

It's not that big, only three letters. That's easy to miss.

I am guessing you are talking about the pre-roll (no pun intended, although funny) ads. I didn't see any prerolls so I thought it would be a good video...

Ok, so which OS do you write apps for? I thought you were a VB6 coder, in which case aren't you pretty much stuck with Windows?

Very well... Although I would assume people would click the link before continuing down the page. I have edited my posts to keep is a surprise.
