here's a fun thing to do with the ignore function... i used to do it at other forums with great success... i've thought about doing it here but i'm not sure if ignore lists work the same way here
think of someone that's really into themself... someone that loves to post long posts ... you send them a pm asking about a subject that you know they're really into... then you stick 'em on ignore.... they'll take the time to write out a freaking essay as their response to you... they'll passionately pour their heart and soul into it, ecstatic that someone values their wealth of experience as much as they do.... but when they excitedly hit the send button they'll be informed that the message can't be sent because they're on your ignore list
good times
