As up and downvotes are considered: it is not that I am neglecting anyone, I just think it is better if I don't use my old account for that. I will not give out 25s for upvote, but just as well I will not downvote with this strength either. First I was thinking about logging in at once at the end of every day and just upvote the post from my old account that I consider the best one of the day, but than I decided against this too, because I will forget about it anyway soon, and I will be too lazy to switch the account and such.
Yep I think that's it. If you guys don't come up with some idea, a way I could put my old account to good use, I am abandoning it (except for FAF).]]>5/5/2008 10:05:14 PM2008-05-05T22:05:14+01:00
