The Underground Is My Friend

Maybe I should have posted this in Conversation, but I suddenly felt I had to share with y'all that I really like it that every time I post something the board says, "Thanks for posting!" I mean, for all it knows I could have posted a pile of absolute crap and yet it's still grateful.

It makes me happy.

But ... Hey ... Wait a minute .... You mean it doesn't say "Shut the fuck up and go away" to everyone? Is that just me?!

Hmmm... the board... sentient?

Mine says "REPEAT: I am rooted in the me that is on this adventure". Spaaaaaced...

Weird. That's not what I get AT ALL...

Clever boy.

I just get:_ "Oh well that's another thread murdered."

Tom Coates

God it's all going wrong again...

Regrettable Juvenilia

Quick everyone, offer Tom reassuring words of support.

IT'LL BE ALL RIGHT, TOM. THE CHEQUE'S IN THE POST.

yeah... sorry

Don't worry about it sir - it's actually proabbly a good thing - because I may have found a way to get things back on track again that doesn't result in the death of the thread - check the old threads that weren't working after the last corrupt user file - they may now be back with us again...

Oh, well in that case each of you owes me a pint

Wow, they're all back. Even the ones Lothar ate!

Not Here Still

17:41 / 09.07.01

The board has started to take the piss out of people. Why doesn't it mock me?

Cat Chant

17:46 / 09.07.01

The Underground is no longer my friend.

Poo.

At least it has now been PROVEN that the board is sentient, though, for those of you who were sceptical.

ps: On the other hand, since I would strongly deny that I am *anyone's* Deva, I can now mock the board for its logical fallacy. Hahahahahaha!

Does that mean we should start referring to "it" as Barbelith rather than the diminutive "the board," Deva?

Well done Tom! It's great to see all those vanished threads again, some of them were really good.

Just saw the new 'thank you for posting ' bit...what other stuff can the board be made do?

I recall when the board thanked you for deleting a post.

I can make the board do all kind of sick twisted stuff. Pretty much anything I like, actually...

pointless and uncalled for

13:49 / 06.05.04

I feel that in the light of the recent changes to the board I really have to ask; what are the options again there Mr. Coates?

Tom Coates

23:13 / 07.05.04

I don't understand the question - could you explain in more detail?

The Strobe

09:15 / 08.05.04

TSK: it's worth noting that since that comment was made - about three years ago - the fundamental engine powering the board has changed from the hacked-UBB-type thing it was to a custom-built thing. The options available are now somewhat different.

Tom: he wants to know what the sick and twisted things are, basically.

The Falcon

Who doesn't?

pointless and uncalled for

13:37 / 11.05.04

Sorry, I had a compulsion to perform a bit of thread mining.
