    It is annoying. This is a fact, and you are blatantly wrong to claim otherwise. You even admit that 'everyone' hates you posting like it. Honestly, YOU MIGHT AS WELL BE TYPING IN ALL CAPS AND WONDERING WHY EVERYONE HATES YOU FOR IT BECAUSE YOU SEEM TO THINK EVERY SINGLE SENTENCE YOU TYPE IS A TITLE WORTHY OF ACCLAIM IN AND OF ITSELF.

    When you see multiple capitalized words in a row, we assume it is a title. As English speakers we are conditioned to skim titles and read them all at once, not assigning the same sort of semantic meaning that we do to individual words within. Taking in more than 20-30 characters at a time is difficult, so it gets broken up.

    So, yes, it is much harder to read. If you do not want to be mocked and otherwise ignored, you will stop.

    You have only yourself to blame.

    I think Ak Worm is not trying to say that the companies are one and the same, but trying to express the advanced concept that forums (such as vB) are inherently a form of social networking. Good for you for attempting abstract thought, Ak Worm!

    This could very well be the case, Michelle. It wasn't evident at first (and still isn't), but it would make more sense if that was what originally was intended.

    Why is your post shaped like a block and with every word starting with a capital letter?

    MySpace is owned by a very very large company...so of course they're big.

    To be honest I would love for my site to become big - hell who wouldn't I would be happy with 10% of Facebook's users haha - I would love to have every sport fan around the world logging on and talking about their favorite team, favorite player, how they did on the weekend.

    A couple months ago I tried coding my own script for vbulletin where sport clubs could post "classified ads" that they are looking for certain players in certain age groups or certain skill levels and potential players could sign up and search for clubs looking for players in their age group, skill level and stuff like that mainly connecting clubs with players but the coding fell apart and it didn't turn out... would have been good haha.
