Yeah, I’ve got a busy day ahead of me at work today, so I was hoping to spend an hour or so rereading this morning. Not gonna happen…

Lamest. Thing. Ever.

It’s almost as if somebody is -trying- to stifle our discussion. ☹

We could chat about the game, to some extent, in this thread. We wouldn’t really be able to reference past posts, but there could be at least some discussion - I mean, **Hal’s** list makes as much sense to me here as it does there. 🙂

You seem to know an awful lot about the scum board, don’t you. :dubious:

Nope.  
Apparently, Idle thoughts played a clever April Fools prank on us, and I’m no longer a Mod.  
Though in the spoilers section he has insinuated that he will fix the threads at Midday. When midday is for him, I have no idea. No other boards have been affected, just the main one. So uh… send your laughter his way.

But yeah, “midday” is the time this will be fixed. I would fix it myself… but no longer a mod. -\_-

Idle is pacific time, so mid day is in about 4 hours or so.

Technically, Idle is on Mountain Standard Time, which is the same as Pacific Daylight time. 😛

Yep, pretty much the least funny april fool’s joke I’ve seen. Well, at least we won’t have 20 pages of posts on the first day.

It is working for me, though it looks like they’ve added some bells and whistles, like the new “Announcements”. Maybe it required a downtime?

Maybe, it was up and down for me for a little while there. But seems to be running well now.
