Sounds fine to me.  Maybe sometime I can find a way to automate it.

I'm opposed to points being awarded for bombs.  I've been hit several times in the past few weeks, for which I am very, very grateful.  I feel guilty that I can't immediately reciprocate or retaliate with an assault of my own.  I've been the target of several relatively new members that, for some reason, just love me.  :biggrin:

That's some nice work on the bomb document.  I didn't realize that I had sent a few, I usually do contests. :biggrin:

I say we start a new Bomb thread each week.  I don't know what the space we have is, but as of late, someone is getting hit every other day...

I too am not in a position to just bomb freely, but I think it's a nice little reward for doing good for one of our fellow geeks. We get points for starting a pass, so why not get points for sending off a bomb. As much as some of our geeks spend on cigars that they freely give away, I think that a few points is a nice return.

I definitely agree that the bombs add something to this community so a little reward for doing so would be nice.   :confused:

Holy... I just spent 5 hours working on this very rough start in hopes that it will get things going... But OMG after this I swear all I can think about is cigars, Cigars CIGARS!!!! Now as a result at about 3:30am I'm going outside to have a cigar, and it's not even an option at this point... I swear, read all the bombings for five hours and tell me you could do without them delicious, yummy, beautifully, scented cigars!  :hitme: :banghead:  :cry:  :lmao:  :crazy:

Anyway this is not the prettiest thing ever and it's more than likely got some problems or is missing something, but I need a cigar, and a break lol!

Nice job.  That's a lot of work.
I'm right 98% of the time.  Who cares about the other 3%?

Very cool Chris!  A lot of work!  I wish I had catalogued the massive bomb I had bestowed upon me but it was so many and went out to the troops in Afghanistan so quickly I didn't get the time to go through them all.

As for nwb, I think there should be 14 after that 10 bomb strike, but I have only 9 accounted for, who did I miss?

I sent one to Podman - he let me know he received it through a PM.  He hasn't had a lot of time to log on to CG lately.

Wow! That's a lot of cigars. I think the troops are going to re-direct their efforts to fighting one another when they see all the good smokes in that package and want fight over who gets to smoke which ones.

I haven't heard anything else about having the bombs put on the site anywhere (other than in the forums), but I just wanted to know if there is anything else being anything done?

Plus just letting you all know...

Maybe a CG Hall Of Fame page? Bombs Sent, Contests Sponsored, Critiques Sponsored, etc (?)  Sr Pablo would probably have to put some effort into something like that though ...

Thanks for all your work, Christopher! Not sure if we should formalize the bomb thing into a points-giving thing, though. To me, the points are "in lieu of payment" for contributing to the content of this site. Bombing is it's own reward, but it WAS nice to see your compilation of all of the Bombs Away threads.

Just my 2 cents.

Thanks for all the work on this. I will talk to Paul to see if there is a way to formalize this in any way.

I highly encourage everyone to go back in time and recognize all the good things tha many of our members have done for each other and still do.

I saw that feature a few weeks ago, but I guess I didn't put 2+2 together.  Thanks!
