Someone Has to Speak Up....

when I go to some sites there is a check box to verify you are human and not a robot. How effective is that? And could this be implemented to log onto AK. Just asking.

Except that only works when logging in. It doesn't work on sites that allow guests.
 
I sincerely doubt that most of our suggestions here will be implemented by the powers that be, mostly because, simply put, they probably can’t be. (But tech is not my field of expertise—not to mention that I’m not an AK subscriber.)

But I do think that only allowing moderators and paid subscribers doesn’t really make sense. If you cannot access or see the site, how would you know if you wanted to be a member—let alone a paid member? I, myself—like many others have admitted in the Introduction forum—was a longtime lurker before I was a member.

I guess you could put a time limit of sorts on visitors, who would need to subscribe after so many minutes/hours or move on. Just a thought.

I knew a woman in college who used to host nude parties in her apartment. She posted the rules on the door. Anyone could come check out the guests and the party. But after 10 minutes, she brought you a big brown paper bag and a Sharpie. You either had to disrobe, then and there, put everything you were wearing into the bag, write your name on it, and hand it back to her for safekeeping—or you were shown the door.

I think that thing is banned in virtually every country except North Korea.

We had a Creepy Crawlers Thingmaker—and an Easy-Bake Oven and a Slip’N Slide and Clackers and Science Sets and Lawn Darts and Sonic Booms and every kind of dangerous toy gun/BB gun and fireworks and you-name-it. If they advertised it on TV, we bought it. I’m surprised all of my siblings and I made it through childhood alive.

We had dirt-clod fights in the alley and shot those airpump water rockets at each other.

Fun times.

The only eye injuries I remember - other kids, not me - were from BB guns and baseball.

Well

  • On June 30, 1559, Henry II participated in a jousting tournament held to celebrate the Peace of Cateau-Cambrésis and the marriage of his daughter, Elisabeth, to King Philip II of Spain.
  • During the tournament, he was mortally wounded by a splinter from the lance of Gabriel Montgomery, the captain of his Scottish Guard.
  • The injury occurred when a fragment struck Henry in the eye, leading to severe complications.

Never say "Never" or "Only" kids find a way :)
