Who needs a meaning anyway, I'd settle anyday for a very fine view.

Yes, yes. But first I need to show you this venomous fish!

I think we should do whatever Pawiz wants.

Such a cruel twist of fate - it was like being told I was about to be executed, then finding out the warden had run out of cigarettes.

Re: Sincerest condolences to RDF staff
Yep, my final rant will go unpublished too.
I have nothing but respect and admitration for all the rD.net mods though who put up with a heap of shit and got a kick in the face for a reward. May each and every one of them be blessed er, repected and loved for all they did for us in the time we were there (even the officious knob I argued with a lot!)

Re: Sincerest condolences to RDF staff
I just found out as well as I pressed the submit button for Mazille's Science contest that the forum was out of commission.Thommo wrote: So much quality content will be lost or go unappreciated now, Durro's mafia game that I was enjoying, Mazille's science writing contest, the anti-creationist nukes and all the associated information and probably a dozen more things that took the equivalent of working weeks and months of skilled time for the staff to set up, but that I never found the time to look in to.

I am a bit confused as to what happened as well, and didn't realize that the Mods were being put through a bunch of shit either. What a shame. Sorry to hear that guys, I thought you all did a great job. And cheers to Durro (and Virphen) who were in the midst of co-ordinating the Mafia game. Too bad we weren't able to finish that game off, it was a lot of fun.
Cheers,

Is that forum out of commission for good, or is it back up in it's *new* format in 30 days?
