• With the number of recent threads from brand new users that we have observed in our Classifieds forum selling goods under questionable circumstances, we have instituted a new policy restricting new members of iLounge from posting new threads in the Classifieds forum until they have reached "Regular Member" status.

    New users become Regular Members once they have made 10 posts and been a member of the iLounge Forums for at least 7 days. Prior to this time, members may still read the Classifieds forum, and even respond to existing threads for items being sold by other members, but they may not create new threads advertising their own items for sale.

    This will hopefully help to protect our user community by discouraging fraudulent users from signing up and posting classified ads without having at least a very basic level of established membership in our forums.

    Obviously all users should still exercise due diligence when making use of our classifieds forums, but we hope that this restriction will help to decrease the number of blatantly fraudulent ads that we have been seeing in recent weeks.

    Please be sure to review our Classified Forum Policy for more information.

This is quite amazing. Some dutch researchers stitched together a whole bunch of images together to make this mammoth image. It contains 7.5GBs of data, apparently..

Take a look at it here. Now to truly see how awesome it is you should zoom in on such things as the license plates on cars, the time on the clock towers, people, etc...

It is quite neat,

Ah, nice Dan. Been looking at it and the detail still amazes me. Haven't found any glitches other than the half-car/half-bus one on the main road, though...

I also saw a few others such as near the top the woman floating with no legs on a car.. ;)

Since these images were not taken all at the same time objects move around and also this is all stitched up so there's bound to be some glitches.

You could have a huge search and find. I've come across several things that would take forever to find if you were specifically looking for that particular item.
