so what? is that 3 times today total with the last one occuring around 8 or so? (at least that's what time i got home....)

I thought the message was scary. i hope they dont ummm, have our registration details (email and computer 3 etc) and will enforce that i am needed to die.

eek!

Seems like UT should be earning combat pay at this point.

Uh... where'd the tip jar go?

If it wasn't for jumping to conclusions, I wouldn't get any exercise at all.

Ya, I know, it's an old joke. So sue me.

seems like they have your number, t. how can they continue to get in? is it a new avenue each time, or is vb flawed somehow?

my question is still - why the cellar? why continuously the cellar? although we love the cellar, it isn't exactly a high profile target.

lookout, if we ask "Why the Cellar", then the terrorists have already won.

I suspect the TINP effect. Not that they actually did it, but their mere presence makes this place attractive to hackers.

Either that or this is the latest round in Sycamore's Quest for Whale Penis Primacy.

Out of curiousity I googled their name, and came up with a slew of sites that they had hacked. And that is as far as I got before I got distracted by something bright and shiny.

Well, there is one thing. Thier hacked home pages always have their email address on it. Purhaps one of use should write to them and simply ask them to stop hacking the Cellar......

Bwahhahahahhaa.....oh man I crack myself up sometimes.... :lol2:

Anyway, I figured who ever they are, they must be from the middle east. All those groups over there love to use the terms "brigade," "group," "crew," etc. It must sound noble in their native laguage, not realizing that it just sounds "gay" in our native language.

Um, didn't I just say that?

He must have you on ignore.

I was actually thrown off by the hack last night! I was trying to fix my non-rhyming entry in the Rhyme Time thread as, just as I pressed "quick post" I realized, too late, that Orpheus did NOT rhyme with Kafka. And BigV called me on it. But I couldn't get in and now I feel "less than"----Ahhahahahahahahahaha!!!!

Did it happen again this afternoon/evening? :confused:

Yes. I saw it for the first time this afternoon.

It was down for about 4 minutes.

Is it time to switch to Solaris 10 yet? We did and it really rocks. It's free.

At this other forum we keep getting jerks that take posts and repost them on FC. The forum is only readable by members so we were able to track down the culprits and ban them. It helps that a couple of us are mods at two different forums.

No, not on ignore. I just missed it somehow. Too much Dain Brammage prolly.

But, not to split hairs, you googled their email address.

OK I was splitting hairs.

What's FC?

F**kedCompany.com also called the red board or the odd board by its exiles

Was today's spate of "connection refused" messages a denial of service or a battening down of hatches? (or something secret that we'll only learn about on a need to know basis)

B. All will be told in time!

arsome

hey, i heard that UT was going to make this a pay site. pass it on. and by invite only.

didn't you get your invite?

:tinfoil:

the whole site is going back to beta. you'll have to know someone who's already a member to get logged on.

the red devils did it again. around 810pm. devious, they are.

Yeah, well with fiends like that who needs enemas?

Seriously, that might not be a bad thing to do for a short time...make everything accessible only to members...except for IotD.

Yea, we did that at this other forum. Keeps out the riff raff, but stunts the growth of the community. Unfortunately, sycamore was already a member. :D

Not to split hairs, but to mince words, Google is not a verb.

Mince all you like. Google as a verb works quite well as demonstrated by you clear understanding of his usage. Google as a verb has definitely entered the language, even if it is not in a dictionary.

Carry on.

Google is a verb if and only if you are using Google brand search engine, which most people do when the Google something.

oh good grief - let me make this clear. you. freak. ing. nerds.

Actually the word could be seen as go ogle. (as a compound).
Not a language expert but that should qualify as a verb of some sort.
A computer geek told me that is the origion of the term, although I can't warrant it's validity. Probably intellibull.......

No way JR is going to get rid of his own kind (a hillbilly). :)

Some urban legends are very easy to dismiss.

Google History

Google is a play on the word googol, which was coined by Milton Sirotta, nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner, and was popularized in the book, "Mathematics and the Imagination" by Kasner and James Newman. It refers to the number represented by the numeral 1 followed by 100 zeros. Google's use of the term reflects the company's mission to organize the immense, seemingly infinite amount of information available on the web. ...

RS, pay attention. This is how you mince words. Emphasis mine.

Just to be splitting hairs, he only minced one word there.

AAAAUUUGHHH!!! :smack: :banghead: where the hell is the RDC when you need them?

j/k. seriously. please don't hack us anymore.

Hey l123, :chill:

Shouldn't this post go in this thread? I think the little animated smilies would look really cute in the banner.

I'm experiencing considerable turbulence out here. Anybody else? numerous 404 errors, cannot connect, etc? Anybody?

I got some sort of Index page yesterday for quite a while and today I got thrown off (rude!) with the RDC telling me-AGAIN-how much I am needed to die.

I got the RDC again today... they sure suck. UT, you're doing a great job - I know that this has to be frustrating for you.

I had it yesterday.......about 8:00 eastern.
Wish I had those bastards by the neck. Sick mofos, all I can say.

Well, UT will be changing systems. Until then, we should just ignore them; don't mention it anymore. Not let them any feedback about how effective it is or not.

So, for now, how 'bout them A's?

Are you the new information and moral officer? :eyebrow:

Just making a suggestion xoB. If you think it is a bad suggestion, just do whatever you want. But, you knew that already. Lighten up, kid; I'm not out to ruin your forum.

Oh, and last night Zito (6-8) beat Burele (10-3) for the second time in two weeks. Go A's.

Oh, Grrrrr! UT, have you zeroed in on their locale yet? If so, just say the word and if they're within a 500 mile radius of Colorado, I'll see what I can manage. After all, I'm already on record as having neurological damage and I might as well have some fun with my diagnosis. Bet I'd get off with community service with credit for a service to the world already done! :rar:

Not now that you posted it, Mari. NOW it's premeditated.

*sigh*

You know better....

Darn!

Hey but I have short term memory problems. Maybe I forgot that it was premeditated? ;)

My mistake....sounded like an order.Yes, I knew that, which is why I questioned the order..er....suggestion.I'm not a kid, which is why I question authority.
It's not my forum.
Fuck baseball.

Oh...and don't feel special. I have a history of questioning orders from anyone here except UT. And of course Katkeeper. :lol:
