Done and done! (Please allow six to eight weeks for delivery of rhino navel jam.)

I seem to remember seeing a while ago that in this brave new world, I can't keep adding more D$ to this thread, so if I want to unload more I have to start a new thread. What a pain.

I gave you the remaining 5. I don't see a way to add more. Looks like the well's run dry.

Horse: Duke Stars? No sir, I don't need 'em. But.. do you have any.... Rubber walrus protectors?Walrus: Call the police

I was thinking of doing the same. I'm planning to go bankrupt for no obvious reason.

*SIGH*

It's the same phucking thing. They add a useless new "feature" and don't bother fixing the

heinosity they created with the last "upgade." (<-- Like the andom dopping of "r"s. Not my fault, you hono.)

* Stupid flyover dropdowns in the top nav getting in the way of breadcrumb navigation.

* yadda yadda.... this has all been said, to no avail. I'm not going to bother.

I'm truly in shock at whatever process they use to pick priorities for this site. What a joke.

I say we nominate one forum member to be the recipient of all dukes. I want to see if they used a 32 bit integer to store the score... maybe we can break it :)

They should add:"He who has the most Duke Stars is the most like to do your homework for you..."Or something to that effect anyway ..

Thanks 1 more and I get a new star - hopefully the change in status won't destroy my account.

Jam? The EULA explicitly states "sculpture", not "jam". What am I supposed to put on my mantle?

Sadly some oaf put in validation to prevent you hacking the form and allocating the whole lot in one go. Yes I tried. Yes, I'm supposed to be doing something else; what's your point?

I wonder if you can weasel your way back to the "Assign dukes" page.

Not sure what you mean - I was just trying to use this page to achieve my evil but generous ends (God knows what the following looks like post-mangling):

I just got back to work and noticed the latest controversy. On my screen I can't tell the difference between the two kinds of yellow star and the two kinds of grey star.

Anyway it's my birthday so you can give me a Dook if you like. But only one, you hear? I have a lot of the things already.

[Edit] Hey! They did something to the user database so that only my first name shows up when you hover the mouse over my screen name. And the link that claims to let me change it is a broken link.

[Edit] On the other hand if you hover over the star itself it shows how many Dooks the screen name actually has. This at least fixes a long-standing design error.

It seems sort of indicative of our times that you don't have to do anything at all to get a bronze star...

It was Rimmer in the Red Dwarf series who had a BSC (Bronze Swimming Certificate).

It doesn't work.

I've decided to start "grinding" duke dollars on this site, then sell them to the needy for actual factual american dollars and therefore create a thriving virtual economy that will soon rival China's!
