Next Exam Offering

[Techie_Junkie_PE_LEED_AP]

Close the Board Fri, Sat and Sun! An idiot will be an idiot no matter what, so can't stop them.

But, you CAN save someone who is stressed and depressed and tired, who would normally not post something to get themself in trouble at anytime other than the destress period of the few days after the exam.

Maybe for a few days after the exam, all posts could be delayed until reviewed by Moderators (before they post for all to see)?

Witty smileys and mudslinging can't cover the fact that this board is run by a bunch of children who obviously don't care what it means to be an engineer. I thought things might have changed since I left last time but I apparently expected too much.
For anyone looking for serious PE preparation tools and discussions, don't waste your time here.

Actually, I find the folks who run this board to be extremely helpful... and, are probably the reason I have managed to keep my sanity over the last few months

As far as the smileys go, everybody needs to laugh. If what you mean by "serious" PE preparation and discussions, you mean that nobody ever cracks a joke on your forum, I think I'll stay right where I am

While we're at it, let's outlaw alcohol because some people who are stressed and depressed and tired, who would normally not drink and drive other than the destress period of the few days after the exam...

Oh, sorry, wrong topic.

I haven't figured out if this is the real deal...

Does anyone think the guy on Cheesy Flash Intro could write something like this?

Even worse is once you sit through the intro and get the stupid "McKeon Engineering" following your pointer... I wonder if he actually gets any business off from that site? Most people I know who are looking for engineering services are looking for a professional webpage... not something that has a bunch of cutesy bells and whistles. Oh well, not my problem

 

[PE-ness]

I'm surprised to see TMcKeon back here. I thought he was gone. I joined his "new board" earlier this year and it was worthless. I can't believe I joined his board, but only just now came over here (I've been lurking for a long time though, and getting lots of good information).

After looking at his website, I am beginning to wonder if he was really just a joke member to begin with. Although that would be a pretty elaborate cover, to create a crappy website just to appear to be real.

I don't understand the need to close the forums at all... No one (and I do mean NO ONE) should have any doubt what they're allowed to discuss. We don't need scrolling banners or flashing text to remind us. Maybe I lean too far to the right, but I'm all about personal responsibilty and avoiding the need for government to protect us from ourselves.

What he said...

Everyone knows the deal, and we're all big boys and girls.

Shutting them down on Friday through Sunday is probably the best... -Ray

Oh sure, easy for you that have a life outside the board :sniff:

as far as the test day shut down, I would imagine that there are now technologies that would afford much more efficient ways of cheating on an exam than desperately posting questions on a website during the test. but if Tim@NCEES wants it, Tim gets it.

man, those are some "blue light special" prices there!

^^^ I feel like there should be a big bouncey smiley face rolling back prices like the one at Walmart.

Yeah .. I can see it now ...

Oh my dear Lord in Heaven, I hadn't seen that yet. I counted at least 3 grammatical and spelling errors on that site which is sort of ironic since it belongs to Mr. "Engineers should be able to write coherently" McKeon!

And that yellow font on the pricing is just awful. Not to mention the stuff on the flash intro going by so fast you can't read it. But his receptionist is cute. Surely, that's not the wife.......

 

[Guest]

^^^ You are trying to bait me to say more .. aren't you MIG ??!! Admit it !!

Nice to see you around. Have you been busy?

[Mike in Gastonia]

Yes. I've been having to travel a lot the last several months. I've been lurking occasionally but haven't been able to post much.

While my IT skills are not as strong as my engineering prowess, that is no reason to mock the website. But, we forgive you. Perhaps you have some html skills you would share with us?

 

[DVINNY]

Glad to see you back MIG. You're one of the beginning members, glad to see you didn't pull a Joeysvee on us. LOL.

As far as that cheesy flash thing, that's the first time I saw it too.

Why is that guy talking on the cell phone and standing there with his palm up?

Oh yeah, I get it now.

PALM UP.

Larry Craig had his "palm up" too, maybe its code for what he's talking on the cell phone about.

 

[DVINNY]

back to the topic, I say we turn off posting abilities like last time

and if anyone steps out of line they will be delt with promptly by the BAN HAMMER VTE!!!!!

If you are the real Tom, and I'd be shocked if they let you back on this site, you remind me of a saying I heard once:

"If we could buy you for what you are worth and sell you for what you think you are worth, we could all retire."

 

[frazil]

It's a little cheesy, but I've seen worse.

 

[Guest]

^^^ Well the dork is PM'ing me telling me how dishonorable and childish we have been acting.

One of the posters at 'the other board' had it right - he needs to set up shop on International Drive with Mickey Mouse, Goofy, and the rest of the characters!

:2cents:

I'm doubting its him, if so we may see permaban soon. but regardless, I just figured out that it got a plug for that pathetic website.
