To all people who write guides here and great forums contributors: Where do you guys find the time to work so hard on this whole DVD encoding/authoring stuff (same question goes for the other forums, but I mostly visit these) ? Are your days longer than 24H or something ? DO you live in the 4th dimension ? Are you guys all students and single or something ? What is your secret ? DO you sometimes eat, sleep, ehm...watch movies ? (not to mention other natural activities that I wouldn't drop for any reason :D ) ? I'm pretty impressed on the quantity and outstanding quality of guides that are published here, on a quite difficult subject, pretty well worded, highly understandable(well, most of the time :p ). Having written some user manuals in the past myself, I know haw difficult it is to word things in a non ambiguous way, so that it means exactly what you mean. The guides here ( particularly the latest ones) are really impressive and show a lot of "behind the scene" work. Hats off to you. You know I hate to flatter people, but I must admit I'm more impressed than I ever was with any other site. This site is probably becoming the "number one " source of knowledge as far as DVD encoding and authoring are concerned. Thanks a lot for that. Waldok:cool:
RE: Where do you find the time to do all that work ?
Judging from the number of registered board users and the post count (26,491 / 204,211), and considering 500 posts as the average for ppl spending half of their life here :P, there should be at least 400 fanatic ppl here (ok, lots of ppl might post one or two only, let it be 200 :)). Ah, how I miss the disabled members section now :o
RE: Where do you find the time to do all that work ?
I only wish moderators could have 2 distinct post counts, or maybe even 3. The normal "what I post as a member" count, the "dude, behave yourself" count, and the answers to questions, most of which can be found via searching. My post count would be a lot lower if it only reflected the posts I made which were unrelated to moderating.
RE: Where do you find the time to do all that work ?
Everyone has a hobby. And certainly if you spend any time doing anything, something should come out of it no? Is it really so extrodinary that something would come out of a hobby or is it extrodinary that people would expend the effort to actually do things that they don't have to? The day needs to be filled with more than just things you are responsible for and gratifying oneself.
