I wandered around SD for a few days and then found the Lounge. That was over 12 years ago and I haven't been allowed to leave left since!

I like this one.

Believe it or not, I actually created that place back in the day. Even I managed to escape, and my blood pressure immediately fell back into the normal range.
You were just getting the trash out of the lounge and we appreciate you, sir!

See above, for my theory.


Quote from sddude :
Brilliant! Now, will there be a filter to filter by helpful posts, like on FW? Otherwise it's pointless...

By the way quoting (quote -> advanced) doesn't work correctly in the redesigned view.

Also if you could just stop trying to be cool by using LOW CONTRAST TEXT, I'd appreciate it. Google for "web design low contrast" if you don't know what I mean. Quoted text should be the same black color as unquoted text, ESPECIALLY if it's on a grey background.

Damn. What do you expect for a nickel? Are you just going to be all butthurt and complain about everything? Crying If so, the podium is where you will find your kin. Bounce

Now now, Mrs. Dlft, it's time for your medication. Everything will be just fine.

Hey, if you don't have an adequate sewage system, then you're just sitting around in excrement all day.

I just feel terrible that any new members migrating over will likely be greeted with the redesign as their first experience here. Yucky


As far as FW closing, I blame it at least partially on Slickdeals being quicker at grabbing up the best possible Community Manager before FW had a chance to hire her away. Whee
Ha ha hug
