If you get to a certain number of posts they assign you a higher ranking. It's a hierarchy that some, not all, members care about. The moderators use their, um, discretion, when deleting posts, so a few of mine have been "disappeared".

It's my way of pointing out that this isn't a democratic process and that the mods delete posts critical of their site whether or not their applicable. I like sites that don't do that and allow people to speak freely.

This post will be an example of that censorship. A moderator will read it and delete it and it'll be like it never happened. If you "offend" the mods, they'll suspend you or ban you. It's a wee bit fascist and reminiscent of a junta.

Read this while you can, whether you agree with it or not.

I got like 3 comments deleted in my entire time here so you must be doing sth. wrong. ;)

But back on topic, congrats on the MB and have fun with it. :)

:rolleyes: Apple charges a TON for their memory upgrades, not to mention the labor charge, and it just gets insanely worse as the amount of memory goes up (ie. for 2gb apple charges $300 more, while if you do it yourself, it's $150 and you have the original RAM as well). If you can you might just be better off doing it yourself :)
You forgot yor vBulliten code!
