Wow, today was a special day!
For the very first time in my 4 1/2 years of being a PCMDaily member, I've seen that magic 2 Posts per day! 
That really puts into perspective how long I'm already here.
A bit more detailed:
100 posts reached: after one year
1000 posts reached: after 4 years 9 months
2000 posts reached: after 5 years 1 month
3000 posts reached: after 5 years 6 months
I rather was a gameplay-support-only guy in the beginning

But hey, you get feedback on your exams. I'm barely even notified when I finally get my grades... |

We get feedback if we ask for it, the laws concerning higher education (university, etc.) garanties the student the right a full feedback a maximum of two weeks after the results are posted.
Anyway, I'm going to send in a formal complaint in order to get a new exam commision to look at it. I checked the statistics and in that particular course, no one has gotten an A in 5 years!

Haha! That's kinda harsh of the "Official Paper-Filers Committee Who Scores Random Papers That Have Yet To Be Filed" group!

On my English book-and-film test the last question was
Did you prefer the book or the film? Explain!
What would you answer?
1: The film, it had subtitles
2: I would give a serious answer

Appearantly, of the people who file a complaint to have their exam paper re-evaluated, more than 50% end up with a worse grade than the one they allready had!
What the hell?!

I remember my German A Level... the German person in our class got a B! That was a major WTF

Hahah, nice to hear. I felt it was necessary to add one, as I kept confusing my posts with Alakagom's after he removed his avatar.

Yeah, Alak why did you remove your avatar? We're getting confused, with issoisso suddenly having an avatar, and TMM suddenly having a girls avatar, and Pellizotti & you both having no avatar, and now, Pelli has an avatar, but you're the one without an avatar.
Confused 
Btw, when I click a smiley, making a text bold, wanting to make an url clickable etc(so clicking the bar that's under this while typing this, then I get linked back to the first post of the topic every time.
Anyone having the same? It really annoys me.

Really?
I checked some national surveys and according to those, the national average is;
20% get an improved grade
60% stay where they are
20% get a worse grade
I believe she might have been lying to me.

Well it's a great avatar, really! I agree with Jesleyh, though, it's getting confusing, Lachi and isso with avatars, Alakagom without... 
Everyone should keep his avatar for at least a year |

Or keep them about the same.
For instance, I've got a Wilco Kelderman avatar for a long time, but switch between them once in a while(last one was really ugly and pixelated, this one is okay)
I'm just waiting for Wilco to win a race(stage) in a Blanco shirt, that'd make the perfect avatar
But anyone has the same problem as I have(posted 3 posts above)

are you sure she didn't say worse mark? it could be that alot of people wanting a remark are only 1 or 2 points off the next level and end up getting a worse score but the same grade.
e.g. boundary for an A is 70 and for a B is 60, someone gets 69 and wants a remark, then it comes back as a 67 so it's a worse mark but same grade.

Firstly, i'll be sticking with women for a while now  And i always look at the name to see who posted
Second, more likely to fina pic of Kelderman crashing
Third, to link to a direct post you have to click the #number of the post first, then copy the url (thats what i do)

nope, but if I put code tags into a reply then I can't untick the Disable Smileys in this Post. Well I should say I can untick it but then if I want to preview my reply it doesn't show them and is ticked again.

That's how grades work till 9th grade. 0 to 100. After 10th grade, it's 0 to 20. |
