Yeah and that was orig-griff, not me!
Besides, etiquette is important: without rules and boundaries we'd have chaos and anarchy. Or the internet, as it's otherwise known.

I don't understand why that matters... If it's acceptable on his 2nd post (or 2000th post), why is it not acceptable on his 1st post?

It's a poor way to introduce yourself as I have stated above.
Besides, it wasn't me that said it was spam! That was griff, not me! Go shoot him.

How about "abusive"?
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

That depends. Did it hurt you to visit the site?

"10,774,445 members (80,486 online)"
What if everybody did that? But seriously, why didn't you simply put it in your blog here on CP?
Otherwise, possibly see the "Weird and Wonderful" forum.
What you have is rather hit-and-run; it would be better if you had selected one or two items that you thought were particularly humorous, put them in the post, and then said something like "I have posted more like this on a page over here..." and then the link. Simply posting a link will not get many to follow it (I haven't and won't).
You could have started a deep meaningful discussion about some humorous code rather than inciting the ire of the Lounge denizens.

Quite a cool idea.
I was tempted to steal it, add a load of social media icons and plaster it with so many advertisements it'd take 5 minutes to load each page "bwhwhahahahahahah" - Dogbert

Hahaha. After all that I got some constructive feedback out of this.

I genuinely enjoyed it.
I can see both points of view (people thinking it spam and yours).
I think a few people are angry / stubborn and may consider it spam. The way I see it though you are a developer sharing an interest. If it were soley spam you would of buggered off the site and not replied to anyone ages ago.

Yeah, I understand that most people in IT can be quite opinionated hiding behind a firewall. I appreciate feedback from those that are trying there best to break the site or those who appreciate. Thanks.

You should: it's a great place to meet people (that you'll probably never really meet) and learn.

I think that is a great point. I don't consider it spam. It's the lounge after all.

Why do we even need accounts at all? Ok so we could cleverly cast many votes if you only kept cookies to anonymously identify users, but that's not likely to be a big problem.

It;'s a good idea, if you ask me - we've had some threads in the lounge in the past that have gone in that sort of direction.
Ignore the plonkers above with their mangle-waving hypocracy - I think some of them slept under a damp woman last night and are still getting over it.

Why did you need to remove the rear seat to install the engine? 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Wow, there's a great double-entendre in there, but it wouldn't be KSS, so I'll refrain
