  1. Yeah...looks like a big ol' Norwegian rat to me.
  2. The comments made me laugh out loud. (Spoilered for S word)
  3. [+] [+] That was a weird one. Banned. I'm glad I cancelled the shill game...this would get complicated.
  4. The forces are aligned again. All is well in the kingdom.
  5. I don't really care, but this makes no sense. Forum delays affect everyone.
  6. Generated in 15.496 seconds in which 15.484 seconds were spent on a total of 14 queries. Zlib compression enabled. For me, the frequency of delays has remained constant, but the duration has roughly been cut in half since the 9/29 database maintenace - most are below 6 seconds. This is the longest delay I've had in a while, so I'm lowering my reporting trigger from 30 seconds to 15 seconds.
  7. Yeah, it pretty much blows. The shills pop off too fast for the game to work. Ditch Industries will be discontinuing this particular line of forum games.
  8. Guess That Shill Game +1 point to anyone guessing the name of the next shill before it starts posting. One guess per boardie per round. There can be more than one winner per shill. Refresh the User List for hints. If your guess is deleted from the User List, you may make another one. Round 4
  9. Here's the latest shill. Otori So Round 3 closes with no points.
  10. So did Quadman ship Kraven to you? He did. The last part of its travel was not his fault but that of the Canadian or US Mail. I got the photos taken of the interior and will upload them today. There was really not much in there and the last entry was Swicks back in January or so. There are more people wanting off the list than on it. Let me know what you guys think on ending or continuing it. I think it was just RMA. Doesn't it just go to Roy next? [+]

  12. +1 That was a no-brainer. Interesting how he has been removed from the User List but still shows up in the link from my prior post.
  13. There was a movement at one point to have the holiday/raffle put on the list but others felt that those types of events didn't coincide with the Probation/HOS rules etc so shouldn't be there and someone can start a new list if they felt inclined. Notions of the PIF/Giving threads were also brought up (guys that claimed items, received them and never sent their promised items). I think that was 2 years ago when there was a huge number of individuals that received but never sent that year. Iceman is right on from what I can remember. Someone tried to nominate Bathedinflames for claiming and receiving his PIF but refusing and laughing about not sending out his item. That is where the Junk Donkey name was coined, though surprisingly it was for the nominator and not so much the nominee. PIF was told to keep their Junk Donkey problems in their own thread. The counter argument was that if you will lie and cheat someone in a giving thread, what makes one think they would hesitate in a sales thread. There was a lot of discussion about the nature of the P-I-F, whether there was any way to enforce an "obligation" to Pay It Forward (seems a non sequitor now as it did then), the differences between a contractual transaction for the sale of goods, and whatever the P-I-F is, and how gummed up the lists would get with different sorts of not-sales transactions. Many thought a separate list was a good idea. Many thought I was an individual_without_enough_empathy. I like the separate list idea. And now that we have a "Personal announcements and topics" subforum, maybe that would be a good place for a list of non-transactional community offenders.
  14. I write all my purchases and sales in wordpad as I don't have a spreadsheet software yet. LibreOffice is free.
  15. Guess That Shill Game +1 point to anyone guessing the name of the next shill before it starts posting. One guess per boardie per round. There can be more than one winner per shill. Refresh the User List for hints. If your guess is deleted from the User List, you may make another one. Round 2
  16. They missed this guy...so he posted again. Here's the latest shill. JohnMan So Round 1 closes with no one getting a point. This game may suck. I'm still figuring it out.
