I'll fix the BBS.

It hasn't been particularly fun around here lately. I've been fortunate to have such good friends that can supply great content for as long as they did. But also, at some point, we all need a reminder why we come here.
It's been tough for me to get online lately to any great extent. I'm looking to simplify my life, that is certainly true.
Stay tuned.

Is this fine? It was nothing but the death thread and whatever caper Paul's on this week.
I'll fix the BBS.

That was as good as it's been for months.

We're here to help, what do you need?
More Crazy Doodles?
More drunk base?
Just say the word

I enjoy the Crazy Doodles a great deal and I feel that attempting to examine them is like that saying about comedy and the frog. The Crazy Doodles is what I come here for, frankly.
Love the drunk base. I have a bit of a problem contributing to it, in so much as it really is much, much better for me if I don't get near my computer when drunk. You have kept this BBS in a beautiful place, Vark. But for all the other pieces not working... I give you my word. I'll fix it.

I Googled that and got a lot of Greek references, which enriched me culturally but didn't give me any reference to the comedy and the frog bit. Could you please provide a link? I've never heard that before and I wish to know.

I wish Worm would come back, he's fun on Caltrops I wonder why he left here.

I am going to install phpBB3 and direct this forum to the new URL. phpBB3 should give us some fun new features. It won't look like this version as I doubt the PS2 theme exists for it, but it would also allow a lot more flexibility.

For the record, Retro has not posted, though he specifically, repeatedly, asked me to do this.
One of the hallmarks of being an adult is to not ask other adults to do things to satisfy a fleeting whimsy. I think that's a reason why so many people have an issue with non-standard pronouns. "You want me to keep a mental register of the pronouns of every single person I interact with? Really? And you won't abandon this inarguable, undebatable, not-up-for-negotiation demand when you graduate from college and start a job search and archive your tumblr?" So that's how awful Retro is being here to me. To all of us. To all of you guys, really, as you all hate the new software and it was his idea.

I don't hate it!

Thanks! I also seem to recall you not asking for new software for over two years and then ensuring that you did not post on it when it was up. I am going to point to this thread whenever someone asks me to do something that is 100% work on my part, 0% work on their part for the rest of my life.

So, although you drive every single person off, at least we get the full charm of YOU. Excellent. Charming, actually.

I feel the phpBB link in the upper left should link to the Board Index screen, not go to Robb's Dead Cat Page.

Right, you just have to click on "Board Index" to go to the "Board Index." I have made that error 1,000 times so I may change that.

I made some changes to increase the font size in the "enter a message" box and the "read a message" box.
I'd just like to say that the fact that caching exists in 2017 is another amazing accomplishment of web designers, whom I have absolutely no respect for. Things got easier once I remembered incognito mode.
