Example; I posted on another board the myth about 'excrement hitting the fan' around June. In an interview Adam and Jamie gave around August they stated that this was a myth they were going to be testing 'next week' (I think).


Good deal! I remember commenting on it being a good idea.

Even if you don't get credit for being the first, you ought to get credit for being the one to develop it into a workable show idea.

Thank you.

Of course, this is making the HUGE assumption that MB got this show idea from my post in the first place. My ego would like to think this was the case, my pessimism has other ideas.

And to give credit where it is due I wasn't the only person to work on the idea - there were others who helped out with ideas as to how to make it practical to test.

Well it most certainly wasn't the first time they've heard the saying, but it's probably the first time they'd seen it fleshed out the way they have asked ideas be done, and that's key to getting it on the show (which is important in terms of what Shaweb was asking about).

Hey moderator! I submitted a post awhile back. A few commented on it then it vanished! What did I do wrong?
I keep getting the below error:
21619780301 is an invalid value for m.

One of the mods deleted it for one reason or another. Most likely either the topic or the discussion that followed violated the Terms of Service.

The country may be free, but this site isn't. The mods can edit or delete you post for any reason at all - or no reason whatsoever.

Usually, if the original topic is OK but the posts that follow are not, the posts get edited or removed, and the main topic is allowed to stay. So keep in mind that while you consider it to be "innocent enough", someone may have taken offense and complained.

<shrug> that's just the way it goes.

where in these forum can I make a contact with Adam to ask him something ?

You can't. None of the cast posts here - no one knows for sure if they even read the posts; that's what the research staff is for.

Nor will you find his email address here. Once in a while someone will post it, but the mods quickly remove such posts (when they say "I got an email.....", they are generally refering to a post on this site).

Glad you took it the right way. I figured from your previous post that you've got a sense of humor about all this. Wink

FYI, I don't think I mentioned it, but you can also email the mods directly and ask why it was deleted. Their emails are on the first page of this thread.

Not enough people have a sense of humor these days. It seems that most people go around looking for something to offend them.
I realized long ago that no matter what you do during your life it is still going to produce the same result in the end. So you might as well have fun while you can.

Basically, just like that.

First, us the Find button to see if you have a new idea and then post it under whichever group it falls under: Science, History, Weapons...
