Mods,

Can I have a username change to James Bond for anonymity sake as people I know are going to join BRF. If James Bond is not available James Pond will do.

TIA

Since 1999??? So Mod-E-Mod ALSO thinks MKI is MKK with canards and TVC. This conspiracy runs deep.

May I suggest "Jambunath Bonda" ?

errr, if we take it as a french style pronunciation, pond has a rather awful meaning in bangla.
are you sure you want it ?

Naughty! Naughty!

I have fallen off the chair laughing.

I had such a start and started laughing that the wheels went back and the chair toppled!

Rahul mian, you exceed yourself! I had the same thought when I read his post but I refrained from stating the unwashed truth!

Some tips for Peace on the forum.

There are no conspiracies and one really does not know who is Mod e Mod. I am equally intrigued. That he could edit, indeed shows he is a Mod.

Quotes from the Bible!!

Since you talk of Lohegaon and IAF, are you George Kuruvilla or which of the brothers are you? Do you know Air Commodore Robey?

Come on, just take it easy and help us to help you all.

Why have a fracas?

There are many things not right and there are many views. Debate with facts and let the posters think for themselves. I am sure, even if they are civilians, it would be awfully wrong and insulting to think that civilians are fools.

Jagan knows more of the Airforces of the world than I do. He has the time and interest. I give way and instead learn from him. Does it make me inferior? No. I know the latest Air Philosophy, but who cares? I cannot reproduce it here. Yet, what Jagan writes it is an excellent treatise for all!

We are here to learn.

Let us thank the Lord for small mercies!

Let us not be proud.

I could tell you much of the IN and where you are dated but I won't. This is not the place. My country comes first and my knowledge to trot around as the last word in the world come later and which will never come till it is in the public forum!

You have a view and so do others. Give them their share of the sun!

Why have we to show off and think we alone know what's up!

Actually, neither you nor I can claim that spectrum!

If we could, then this country has no idea how to keep classified issues under the wraps! If they can't and BRF is the media for foreign intelligence to pick up, I dare say we are doing service to our country!

Anyone thinking that by being clever and showing his knowledge to all and getting accolades and selling his country is a hero, is sadly mistaken. In my dictionary, it reads as a description of a traitor!

I am aware they are harsh words, but then it is not only for you, it is for others too. Watch what you write!

I watched the NDTV programme Big Fight on Communalism. The politicians were plastered. However, what was interesting was how the Media fuelled fat into the fire by one sided reporting! This is how things go wrong!

Likewise, the penchant to show that 'I know everything' also lets out leads for foreign agencies to home on. Are you serving the nation or massaging your ego? Understand how an enemy int agency works. Even tenders that are advertised in the newspapers are closely watched. They have much to say! Sadly, the Indian system has no way but to have open tenders that are advertised!

We are the Blind Men of Hindoostan!

Proud little Peacocks and worthless as meat!

Think it over.

The only axe that I grind is the axe for my country!

Folks, I'm once again proud to release version 0.3.0 of the infamous BRF Archiver program:
http://sites.google.com/site/brfdictionary/utilities

Additions to this release include a progress status to show how many pages have been archived and how much is left, which works in text or GUI mode. There is also a feature to display a complete stack trace in case exceptions get thrown. If an error message appears, I would very much appreciate a screen shot emailed to brfcompendium at gmale.

This release is named after "Battling" Mani, who was once known as the Douglas Fairbanks of India.

Yensoy and thanks again for all the support.

Sorry sir but finally after reading all this I was wondering what your point is...
I mean you quote the bible, than you beat your own drum saying look i am taking the higher road out...e.g. (“A fool shows his annoyance at once, but a prudent man overlooks an insult” {I believe in it and am showing it. I am overlooking your comments on my capability.}) .... i mean last I knew modesty was a virtue.

Any ways that ****** thing got me for a minute there however that's not the point I want to make... Now i cannot be a ****** as you guys and bring myself to quote a religious book and explain this ... but in plain and simple terms I fail to see how this post of yours is in any way shape or form related to army news and discussion forum...I mean I dont care if you guys want to fight and break each others heads...I will gladly supply the dandas/books/holy water/lashes/ or whatever's needed to break each othres head but please please stop hijacking a sane forum and take your thing somewhere else ......you sir as a MOD should realize that if you really want to rise above this take your differences to a feedback forum or something....Or are MODS allowed to do this and set trailblazing precedences just because they are MODS..

come on guys grow up....

I am sorry all you guys have hijacked these and other forums too much...

I don't know what it (pond) means in bangla but sure seems awful based on the laughs it evoked in other bongs . If James Bond not available then chokkalingam will do.


changed to James B.
Rahul.

Since mods are in a generous mood, can my user name be changed to Mahendra please?

Done.
Original "Mahendra" account was faik bassport?

I have been trying to change my e-mail address to
myfirstname @ myfirstname . info


but for some reason the system doesn't accept it, can an admin pls help. Thanks.
- Raveen

Thanks,

No wasn't fake, bassport was confiscated by Rakesh for having Pakistan visa stamped in Pingrezi language on it

Too philosophical for understanding?

When pure request does not work, one goes above! It is beyond mortals like me and yet, Peace is what is desired. A connect with the Maker and the higher realms of goodness!

I have no difference since the thread Naval Discussion does not interest me. I am only to ensure there is no firefight and a blaze like Jaipur Oil Depot! I try to stop it, but it does not mean I should burn!

I do not believe in the danda and lashes, even though it excites you and you have ample of it to donate to us. I don't live in Medieval times. No one is a heretic and no one will be made martyrs like Joan of Arc! Warnings and Banning is not my forte. Cooling the waters is my desire. We all lose our cool I blame no one. No need for the Headmaster for lashing out with three of the best (caning, in case you did not know!). The need is for the healing touch!

Thus, the high road. The low road is for lower ideals!

That's what.

Why the Bible?

Guess?

Why OT?

What is your suggestions how to handle this?

I am open to your suggestions!

It is only juveniles who are enamoured to be a Mod. So spare me the homilies!

Modesty is a virtue with those who understand it.

Since you have the name Sam, let the Bible be your guide:

“Give, and it shall be given to you. For whatever measure you deal out to others, it will be dealt to you in return.”

I never said it. The Bible did!

If that is wrong, then so be it. Amen!

Yes the thread is getting derailed, but when it is coming to that and I comment elsewhere, will there be the same lesson if the person does not read it there because he never visits it thinking that he knows all and not concerned what is said as feedback?

Will it serve the purpose and calm troubled waters?

Yes, we require Mods like some who would ban outright and knock some sense! Too much of liberalism, right?

However, the world and BRF has changed!

I have seen draconian laws in my profession and I had the powers to use it. I abhorred it. I never used it then and I will not change my ideas. Are you aware the our judgement under the Army Act is beyond the Supreme Court except for legal technicalities?! Crazy, what? Indeed it is! And after that, to be a Mod is some euphoria that excites orgasms? No sir. Reform the world if one can and not crush it, no matter what your powers are!

It is more difficult to be good than to be a demon!

Try it!

And you say I should grow up!

No valid MX record for that email

the MX records point to google apps which what I run (I had to update the MX records a couple of days ago though)
I assure you the records are fine and in perfect working order since I get every e-mail sent to me

The MX error was with the firstname from the old email address recorded for the account, not the one you just gave.
My mistake.

The problem is with the ".info" TLD.
I'll refer this to Jagan.

Thank you Gerard...I appreciate it

Raveen, can you try now and see if you can do it at your end?

Sure. we can do with all the help in the following areas:

1. Apache ModRewrite / URL Rewrite
2. Php/MySQL programming
3. Javascript
4. IE8 Accelerators
5. Joomla Template designers
6. Gallery 2.x Template Designers

I am from the .NET world. i doubt if i could help in the above.

^^^^
Jagan, I could help with the first 2 for sure and I can code javascript fairly decently as well. Plz to email brfcompendium at gmale if you need any help in the above.

Armen,

Definitely much to do on ModRewrite.

Glad to get a javascripter to help. will email you what i have in a couple of days.

-Jagan

Jagan,

I may be able to help as well. Not an expert in any of the above areas....but, WTH...can always learn what is necessary...

gmail: twnbus

BTW, IE8 accelerators does sound interesting....may be can start with that..

It worked, thank you so much Jagan and Gerard

Where is the DefExpo 2008 archive thread ? The Exposition archive does not list a BR thread from DefExpo 2008, it only has 2006. I know there is a 2008 pics thread in the gallery but you guys didnt have any discussion about it?

Dear Mods,
I would like to draw your attention to the "Crusading" language that RayC has been using in the Army Discussion forum. I have 10 minuues in a day to read some sensible discussion but to my dismay rather than sticking to the topic and maintaining a cohesive discussion on the topic of the forumn the Mod on that forum himself has been indulging in discussions which sway from the rather evangelistic to the downright clock and dagger threats. I would encourage the rest of the mods to please take serious note of this situation.
Earlier presidencies suggests that people have been banned for lesser transgressions. I do not think there should be a class structure created where there would be one set of rules for the general masses and some other set of rules for the Ruling elite.

It defeats the purpose of calling this forumn "Bharat" rakshak...


Hope some other MODS actually reads this...

You mean "cloak and dagger" and "earlier precedents", I presume? Actually I have been wondering how there can be a "later precedent", but anyway, just curious. Thanks for taking time out from the 10 minutes you have in a busy day to post. Great to see that such important people are browsing BRF! That's just awesome!

Thanks to Rahul M the M for wise and timely decision to lock the IG thread .

wasn't me !

Thanks for correcting.. BTW is "ENQYOOB" a human readable name can you kindly explain how some one did not change your username..

well, you read it didn't you ? that makes it human readable I guess ?
or do you disagree ?

p.s. just for the sake of clarity, we have no policy against non-humans reading names either.

It is his pet name ENQYOOB.

If you read it carefully you will see there is some method in that name.

I too was equally foxed and intrigued!

There are pet names also like Ghoton! Totton and even Miyakhiznak (Russian). What about Luttu? That is a name too!

There is the famous actress Bridgitte Eklund, which may sound odd in India, but then that is a name! Now, if she was a poster on BRF and registered as Eklund, what could we do? What about Munda's brother's name Nunulal Munda, which in Bengal would be rather embarrassing!

User Name Policy
Please note that the User-name should conform to the following guidelines and it should not be changed once set. Forum members are required to register with a displayed name or username that should appear like a common human name and which does NOT feature a call sign, an abbreviation, names with numbers, ALL CAPS, or names that may carry a message or meaning that may be interpreted as inappropriate. Admin decision in this regard is final and usernames deemed inappropriate for the forum will be deleted. Users will not be able to change their own names once set. One of the forum admins will do that for you in case that is required, and you will be notified in a forum post


Ofcourse "ENQYOOB" could have been {GodZilla}
is Godzille (refered to as *** by many) and ENQYOOB the same people?

AdityaM

Bang On!

Or so I believe!

These Mods are mysterious!

and



They have accepted it!

I want to change to Luttu!

NOMB, but is asking the identity of a poster on the forum halaal?

Yes you are right ...Thanks for accepting the fact that it is not the rule but the decision of the VIP Class which is binding ... Mods Vs Commoners...It is possible to argue for or against the rule...

Please let me explain how this same argument is analyzed by Mods in a public forums. In a Public forum usually there are rules and then there is precedence, a MOD is not a VIP member but a person who can reason out and apply this rule and precedence... In my past 10 years on this forum I can quote several instances where even good, readable names were changed... latest case in point being James_Bond which was changed to JamesB ... So If a mod was to quote 5 examples of names which were not changed that same Mod was obliged to also give 5 examples of cases which were changed, than apply precedence and than logically conclude one way or the other.

For better or for worse the whole VIP class theory still works "If the mod's say so" ..

well, you read it didn't you ? that makes it human readable I guess ?
or do you disagree ?

p.s. just for the sake of clarity, we have no policy against non-humans reading names either. [/quote]

Rahul please understand with great power comes great responsibility, think about yourself as a Judge a mod is not the law, a mod is someone who applies the law, if some one like you make a comment like "well, you read it didn't you ?" next time someone comes up with this same argument you will not be able to refute it. I feel you made a "smart comment" just so that you could be satirical and bash my previous post, however tomorrow if someone comes with a username which you think is boundary line and he gives you this same line of reasoning, you will not be able to refute it as you yourself have set this precedence.

Think about it...
