flickr.com — As I was driving into my apartment complex the other night, a found a familiar face greeting me at the gate. I think this was the work of some of the local kids I’ve seen playing their Nintendo DS’s together, and I must say they did a fine job!

"I thought Digg was already going downhill, but a snowman? Even a Mario one is bad.Digg is a technology news website. This is obviously not technology news. Therefore, it doesn't belong on Digg. "Well Last I checked Mario is a video game character and there is section here for gaming to i guess there is no reason why this can't be here and i made a Mario bust out of clay when i was in junior high and it was almost perfect so i have no doubt a some kids could do this

@chicomdk:"Well Last I checked Mario is a video game character and there is section here for gaming to i guess there is no reason why this can't be here"Yes, the video game character part perfectly fulfills the technology part, but where do you see me denying that it is technology? I never said it isn't technology; I said it isn't technology *news*.

@Arramol:A define:troll search returns the following results:"As a verb, to post controversial or provocative messages in a deliberate attempt to provoke flames.""a newsgroup post that is deliberately incorrect, intended to provoke readers; or a person who makes such a post"Now, I don't post these messages to provoke flames or anything of the sort. I post these messages to show people that the story doesn't belong. To call me a troll is somewhat (but not entirely) akin to calling MLK a troll for saying things the general populace didn't like. Or Copernicus. Or anybody speaking out against the ignorant masses.(Not that I associate myself with anybody as great as them, I'm just trying to show you what is wrong with your post)Besides, no one ever said I didn't like it. I'm just sick and tired of people posting crap that doesn't even pretend to belong on Digg.Notice how it disappeared from the front page. That means people agree with me.

@pox05:I guess it really comes down one question.Which is more important:-What the users post and Digg-Or the what is established by the creators and owners of this private site (read <a class="user" href="http://www.digg.com/faq">http://www.digg.com/faq</a> ).If you can't figure it out, here's another similar question.Which is more important:-What the people do-Or what the Constitution says
pox05Dec 7, 2005
this site is not the constitution, nor does it have one. also, some people argue, with reason, that the constitution is a living document, and that it has to be in order to work in todays world. this is partly why we have the supreme court.That aside, you - nor am I, the entire community. Do not speak for others - no one has asked you to.as i stated above, 500 + people do like this, so let them digg, no one said you had to. That is how this site works.

@pox05:You want numbers? 571 users have dugg this at the time of this writing. <a class="user" href="http://www.digg.com/topusers/page2507">http://www.digg.com/topusers/page2507</a> tells us that, at the time of writing, there are 75189 registered users. That comes out to be .75941% of the total of Digg. Argue with that number.Remember, this page was also reported off of the front page anyway.Besides, notice keyword "stories". A picture of Mario hardly can be considered a "story".

@jesseanderson:I agree; it's cool. Why don't you post it on del.icio.us and submit it to StumbleUpon (two places where it belongs) rather than Digg (where it doesn't belong)? It makes a lot more sense that way.
