i like it!

That was mine. I'm well traveled in the online community world. You may now commence pitying me.

Hey Marv,

You beat us all too it

Yup, after much negotiation with the guys at the top we've got OT back. It's not necessarily on a permanent basis though unless you all behave .

Basically, OT got way out of hand last time and it turned into a situation which we cannot afford to have again. So we'll be keeping a heavy hand over the place for a while.

General AUP still applies, so no personal insults, no spam, etc.

But otherwise, here it is - have fun kids!

Nick

you are the best thing that has happened to HWC in a LONG time. you come along and we get OT, a forum update etc et!

EDIT: also i notice there is no post limit for users with over X ammount of posts, is this possible with this version of VB?

Thank you Martin, but I can't claim any credit for the upgrade. That was already planned, my arrival just happened to coincide with it. Also, I'll be 1 of those doing it.

Yes, the Central Lounge (or Lounge Central?) is open for business ... many of you know that I earned my avatar during the flaming collapse and resultant closing of Off Topic in mid-2001, but have now been convinced that if any online community can go OT without going juvenile or offensive, it's the smart and savvy denizens of HWC. Have fun, don't even think of making any personal attacks, and stay tuned ... if this trial period works, there'll be a big "Suggest a new avatar for egrevstad" contest.

Thanks for reading,
Eric

ahh cool, but you still got us OT

 

[Admin]

Are company employees eligible in that, Eric?

 

[woodman19_99]

Well, in light of the Central Lounge opening up, I'll buy the first round of beers...

Let's make this work, shouldn't be to hard...

 

[Marvt74]

That one is definitely in my top 5 as well! To bad Club Dread was such a big let down. (done by the same people)

Feel free to ask away. I am sure that in no time, there will be a "What's your favorite movie thread" or a variation there of...

 

[Marvt74]

Yeah club dread was poor, though still gotta love kung pow

Anyway off this topic till amovie thread begins.

 

[Martin_89]

anyone seen freddy got fingered, not sure if im just imature or if that really was funny

Seriously, this is scaring me. About 20 post notification e-mails from HWC in the past half hour and there are more members online right now than I have seen for ages. It brings back memories of when this place was really quite busy.

I am going to have to prize myself away from the PC now to go and eat.... quite sad.
