ExTank’s “I’m about to get banned” thread was moved from MPSIMS to the Pit, and the link does not seem to work for me. Just wanted to let you know. Carry on. ---

Hmm. I dunno. It works for me. Try restarting your browser and maybe re-booting the computer. Other than that, I don’t know what to tell ya. Sorry. ---

Thanks, unc. I got out of explorer, then back in, and now it works just fine. Glad I had an opportunity to flaunt my computer ignorance. It was a little wierd, cause that was the only link that wouldn’t work for me - I got some “will not connect to www” message. Of course my reasonable and measured response was to suspect some nefarious plot by those thin-skinned, reactionary mods. Uh, this is the Pit, isn’t it? (One of these millenia Ima gonna learn smilies. Imagine a big winking one right here.) ---

The mods? Naw. You should know it’s a plot by that source of all that is evil, Billy Gates.
