I would of loved to have seen that... :(

Yep, my final rant will go unpublished too.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!)

Yeah, I know, that's one of many reasons I wanted to contact her 'cos she'll probably never be able to read the Happy Birthday PM I sent her on the RDF.

I just found out as well as I pressed the submit button for Mazille's Science contest that the forum was out of commission. :( Damn, spent a good few hours or more on that thing.

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,

Jerome's on about getting all of the contestants to submit it here instead. Assuming he can get hold of everyone.

You can still read PMs that have already been sent. You just can't send new ones.

I'm hoping we can move the contest to here. Admins, that possible? :)

Ah okay, that'd be good if we could still get that together here.

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

I already answered this in another thread. Course you can. If you need any help from the admins, let me or one of the others know. :tup:
