Out of curiousity, what the hell is going on with all of these "I am doing a project for school and need your information for research" threads going on lately??? This is like the third or fourth one this month that requested a lot of personal information for people to be posting for the sake of "research" or a "project". Is it mid terms or something?
And what kind of project is this info being used for? Just curious that's all.
And when oh when will this be moved to community :lol: ?

HEHEHEHE!!! And here I was thinking I was the only one using the "what is your height, weight, onsight ability and pullup range" thread as a chance to scope out and check out some personal stats on people. Like "hmmm. I never woulda guessed he was 6'2"/200 lbs....might have to click to see if there's a profile pic" :lol: :lol: :lol:
