CR4... whats it stand for?

03/18/2009 7:27 PM

Is CR4 an Acronym for something? An offshoot from C3PO & R2D2?

Just Curious...

... also suggest you have a browse through CR4 FAQ (there's another link on the home page right hand panel, in the Site Indices list).

I know it's difficult and goes against the grain for 90% of us, but just sometimes RTFM does help .

[Hey, wa-da-ya-know? The spell-checker doesn't recognize the word Indices !]

They were abandoned after being completely smashed up due to too many over-unity believers, global warming activists and conspiracy theorists battering one another relentlessly in support of their pet theories.

They became too small due to the ever-expanding egos of certain regular contributors.

I hear preemptive construction has already begun on CR7.
