However, I don't understand why Russia, Brazil, China, Japan, Mexico and part of Europe are showing white too. Also, I am in Brazil, why is it showing white too?

The number of questions on Yahoo! Answers about doomsday in 2012 has more than doubled.

I noticed that. They had tapered off a bit, only to surge with the new year.

The number of questions on Yahoo! Answers about doomsday in 2012 has more than doubled. Some of the kids seem to have expected something to happen on 1/1/2012, so maybe we can tick off another failed doomsday date.

I've uploaded the last few weeks worth of PDF summaries.

I think they are available only for the master administrator.

I think people are more attracted to movement, so marching ants might be a good idea.

The ants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah!
The ants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah!
The ants go marching one by one,
the little one stops to look at the Sun
And they all go marching down
in the ground
to get out
of the rain
Bom Bom BOM

The ants go marching two by two, etc.

You should check on the visitor stats to see if the visits to the 'Forum Posting Rules' page has increased. Perhaps the drastic measure you took just works better than locking threads.

"Let's face it, they weren't being read before, what makes you think they'll be read now, even with marching ants?"
"Well duh! People are attracted to flashy text on proponents sites, why not here?!"

Maybe a clue-by-four coming out of the screen and whapping them across the face?

Well, maybe not so minor. I've added a banner across the Forum Categories page, and at the top of each category, and at the top of the 'New Thread' page, which says:

Please read the Forum Posting Rules before posting.

It's stupid big now. Really, if I make it any bigger, it will be bigger than the title of the site.

So, please, take the hint, before you post here, READ THE FREAKING RULES!!!!
