hey tank, you and the moderators really need to do some spring cleaning on this site
shoot Rudeboy has already spring cleaned twice in the past month or so for iceman's forum so that we don't get a lot of clutter
oh and by the way im not telling you to do this now, its just a suggestion for the future, since you are busy tank i would just suggest making some of your moderators help you out with this

* Eyeballs Prey...
* Spring Cleans the account list, making it smaller by one.

Hehe.
I don't know what you mean exactly by spring cleaning, but it you mean removing old threads, I would have to disagree... but that's just me.

me too, this stuff is pricelss and i would not want to lose as much content as we have generated thus far, it really helps newer players a lot...helped me in the beginning when I started going back in time looking at old tron threads with good info on game...

hehehe maji

seriously, delete some of these works of written art? no way imo

i'm all for an organically evolving forum that is slightly chaotic and can bring you unexpected joy around any click/corner.

some of those half-barren threads still existing will become magnificent stalagmites over time (and to our defence we do split topics from time to time)

as i see it this forum is a beginning tome of treasure into which the adventurous traveller can read his way to armagetron enlightenment - anything of value comes at a price, the price here is the time sucked up by the maintenance imps as you suddenly realize you've spent five hours enjoying yourself reading and replying

must play Nethack soon, obviously suffers from withdrawal [sic]

Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and ask moderators not to delete anything unless it's really really stupid or inapropriate or something. No deleting for the sake of making it look pretty. Plus, it's not really spring up here...

*prey backs away from the spring cleaning topic*
wow if i knew you guys were that attached to your threads i would have never mentioned it
oh and maji you do realize that if you had gotten rid of me, you would have just kicked out your team captain
*prey contemplates the punishment he could give if he was so inclined*

Were you born in Norway, n54? Just curious? Your grasp of the English language amazes me. I didn't learn about the use of "[sic]" in the English language until after graduation from college.

I am assuming that you were born and raised in a country whose official language is English.

lol, i would hope there would be a few good reasons to keep me around

nope i'm norwegian, a particularily bad mix as well lol

i'm an anglophile and most of what i read (books and magazines like wired, scientific american and the economist) is in english, and then there is movies and tv being mostly in english as well... i usually watch BBC World News, Discovery, or TCM (going to get NBC soon, yay! Jay Leno at last lol + maybe some late night baseball), most norwegian channels show a lot of american or english content as well and we don't voice-dub it. last but not least the net...

i lived in singapore two years, studing at a boarding school which might explain some of it but since early on i've been used to english as my father is a voracious reader of (mostly) english-language paperbacks.

i often think in english, however my pronounciation is terrible - you would all die laughing

Neat.

And Jay Leno, he is funny.

Prey4Me · Post by **Prey4Me** » Mon Mar 22, 2004 11:52 pm

yes he is, mcuh better than letterman, whose only saving grace is his top ten

n54 · Post by **n54** » Tue Mar 23, 2004 12:44 am

i completely agree & feel kinda sorry for letterman...

btw it's a while since i saw leno and nbc, do they still have conan obrian afterwards?

Marrow · Post by **Marrow** » Tue Mar 23, 2004 1:12 am

Sure do.

I think Conan is just as funny as Leno, although the humor is sillier.
