Was a it a bad joke by the new owners?

To be honest, all those people over there are ahving a whale of a time. I intend to let my spammage loose on that board.. I wonder what their position of killing goldfish is..

sayonara · 17 Dec 2002, 15:54

By the time my account was activated I was so tired of their shit I didn't bother posting other than to complain that I had missed all the fun.

I can think of a way to find out where the stand on goldfish murder...

Spearhead · 17 Dec 2002, 15:55

i never had the chance to spam

<Spearhead> why does it say : 'No thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the webmaster ' after i post something ?
*** pfffffffff and the mods are wankers!!! no help there

Spearhead · 17 Dec 2002, 15:56

17 Dec 2002, 15:58

Yes. We can say **** here now too.

The novelty soon wears off.

Or maybe its because some of us are accustomed to being ignored by the mods when using censor evasion techniques to insert an expletive in an appropriate place, so we don't really see it as being a novelty anyway?

Never got the point of censoring anything, really =\
I think you're right

So, been anywhere fun lately?

Tietäjä · 17 Dec 2002, 16:06

The boredom is due to the fact that some fun people were banned (I miss TMG here), and second to the fact that I have partially moved to Jolters now (wich means you won't be reading my amusements, I know I'm great, here anymore that much).

Sardaukar · 17 Dec 2002, 16:07

im actually swearing less on the boards now that theres no censor evasion, i dont know weather im just a happier bunny than i used to be or if its just the lack of opression :P

Not really. I bought a new computer in October so RL and the online communities I'm involved in (like here) got back-seated for a bit while I tried things out on it. There's nothing quite like improving your tech by an entire order of magnitude in one go

I'm in the middle of completely redesigning all my websites too as I'm migrating from ASP to PHP so that's FUN.

Makes me wonder why I am spending so much time here lately...

(Actually, that's no mystery. I am at work

)

FAST

I went a little overboard and bought everything ever.

The only thing I held back on was the CPU, because this whole 'speed-price curve' thing is stupid.

Care to sponsor my new pc?
Will only cost 550 Euro's

pwease?

sayonara · 17 Dec 2002, 16:23

I can't afford to sponsor anyone right now, thanks to stupid PC purchase

Send 1,000,000,000 x-cam spam mails out or something. That should pay for it.

I don't have the time to rip through the Jolt forum e-mail lists =\

but it IS a good idea.
Hrm

Anyway, do you know if the new Nforce boards are any good?
(A7N8X ?)

sayonara · 17 Dec 2002, 16:31

I haven't read anything about them yet.

I'm using a GainWard GeForce 4 128Mb as they are high-powered but cheap. It may not be as well marketed as some boards but the gfx are awesome.

If I ever get around to learning Max & Maya I will prolly splash out on a new board though - a nice £800 one

Dual cpu IBM boards seem to be good =\
(already got me a vid card. Fking piece of crap won't work prop'rly in my current pc =\)

sayonara · 17 Dec 2002, 16:38

Be warned that dual-processor boards won't give you any benefit with software that doesn't recognise them, and prolly only about +15% speed for those that do.

We lost good posters during the 'evacuation'.

I wasn't going to depress anyone by dwelling on it.
