Announcement about RDF Part 2.

[Bella Fortuna]

I think I just managed to send a successful PM to besleybean (is she on Ratz?).

No. She declined to join during the first purge and she didn't seemed swayed now. (from my recollection)

Someone just posted a rebuke of Timonen - and a promise to no longer donate to Dawkins' foundation - on the comments under a front page article. Wonder how long it will last? I screen-capped it in case it's removed for being "unhelpful."

It was Fizzle - good on him.

I think I'll edit in Pete's blog post, while I have the chance!

Yes, I think you're right. Shame - she's great.

Speaking of which, I have all entries submitted to H@xx0r in rich text format with images.

Oh, yes!

[Bella Fortuna]

Excellent idea, Fiz!

Oh, shame. It was nothing particularly important, but she asked for my opinion on a book, over at the book rec thread. Man, I loved that thread.

It seems that from the latest admin announcement, staff have been blamed for the shut down of the forum because we (Mazille and I) posted the letter to the staff publicly. The contents of the letter explained what was going to happen to staff and what we shouldn't do. There was no personal or confidential information in that letter. It was exactly the same as the one to members but with the addition of telling staff that the plan to include them in developing the new area wasn't happening and that their services wouldn't be required on the new website. There were also clear directives about what staff shouldn't do. I think it should have been left up there with the other one as they do go together but perhaps they didn't want the membership to know what they'd said to staff.

Post the letter here. I see no reason why you couldn't.

Hi, guys. What did I miss?

We all became Mormon and left RD.net.

Put on your magic underpants and pick a wife. Or two.

Just don't pick one that turns out like Joyce McKinney. Yes, I can find a way of shoe-horning her into any thread if I put my mind to it!

Meanwhile, hello again, small grey pigeon! I always thought your avatar had a certain poignancy about it for some reason. As if the pigeon in the pic sensed that the object it was pecking at could somehow connect it to lost members of its flock, if only it knew how. An appropriate interpretation in the circumstances ...

Hi, guys. What did I miss?

I think Hack swore at someone?

Whoa, that's like totally out of character for him.

It's all just general business here at RDF though.. Wait.. the logo looks different...

And for some reason, when I click on a link here it loads immediately. Toto, this doesn't look like Kansas anymore.

Link edited in.
Screen cap (I can't belive I'll say this, but Vista FTW. That snipping tool is the shit)

Nah everything loads super quick over at RDF too now. It seems like the problem was having members and letting them do stuff on the site. Once Josh fixed that little problem, the thing just whizzes along!

I think she thinks we are all still here just so we can talk filthy.

I mean all that in the nicest sense, each to his own.

While I was waiting for my Internet connection to return to sanity, I was watching The Abyss on DVD. I'm increasingly starting to think of Josh as being the weedy, seven stone weakling version of the guy who turns into a fruit loop in the film, and tries to nuke the underwater aliens because he thinks they all speak Russian or something. The difference being, Josh succeeded where the psycho with the Trident warhead failed.
