Neither did I. Is it some sort of joke or am I living under the sword?

Ierne

14:21 / 11.02.02

Perhaps it only got sent to people who haven't posted recently/at all?..

Jenny Constantine

Tom, I got your email and just posted around two or three messages in different threads. Thanks for the warning.

By the way, I will be able to give you the url of the first spanish language Invisibles-GM-our-own-fireworks-stuff website pretty soon.

I sure like it here. Bye...

PS: How do you add a signature?

"BURN THIS SUIT"

Not sure if I got an email 'cos I'm having problems with my mail address. I'd like to confirm I want to keep this suit tho' Thanks.

Burn this suit as it has outlived its usefulness.

Also: will our screen name be fixed once you switch over? If so, please let us know at least a day in advance, as if I have to just have one name that won't change, I'll just go with simply Flux, but until then, I'd still like to switch the name up on a whim.

Tom, should i interpret your non response to this as "no, you'll still be able to dick about with your suit"? I'd like to be able to continue thinking of words containing Ms and Cs that I can capitalise.

Just posting to say, please don't place me on the Barbelith BBQ.

I have no great desire to become tender and crispy just yet!

Angel

I'm staying too dammit!

You and me both mate.

Re-Set

19:15 / 13.02.02

I'd like to merge this suit with TrapSpringer, and/or Son of, if possible. Burn those, I'm keeping this one for now. It hasn't outlived its usefulness, and I think shaman would be terribly offended. Thanks Tom.

Edited to follow directions.

Rage

11:54 / 14.02.02

What if four suits that belong to four different people merge into a Super Suit?

Sax

11:25 / 15.02.02

I notice we're down to about 990-odd members now - does this mean the purge is working, or has there been a mass alien abduction scenario while I was out at lunch?

We're The Great Old Ones Now

Silence, Earth Creature. Your impudence will not be tolerated by the Mighty Zarg.

Hana Bi - great name. Kitano fan? You don't need the hyphen for the sake of the board, by the way.

I'm desperately trying to figure out how to adapt my suit for the new colour scheme.

Sauron

11:32 / 15.02.02

What is the new colour scheme?

leather trousers is always a good look for you, dear.

Tom Coates

12:11 / 15.02.02

Er... Well the new colour scheme is essentially probably ... a mistake ...

Let's face it - NO ONE IS GOING TO LIKE THE NEW COLOUR SCHEME WHATEVER IT IS.

So I've made it white, light-grey, dark-grey and a kind of muddy browny-orange. Then EVERYTHING will have to be an improvement.

Sauron

12:21 / 15.02.02

I'm syure it looks stunning darling. Can we change the poor Northern Irish girl on the front page? she's starting to intrude on my nightmares.

Admittedly, I'm only a junior member, but I have to second that. Even after only two weeks here, I'm starting to see her weeping when I close my eyes. It's like some creepy apparition of the Virgin....

Persephone

15:02 / 15.02.02

No worries, Tom, we are going through our house painting all the rooms and I have my color-changing routine down pat:

1. Fret over misleading color cards.
2. Choose at random.
3. Paint.
4. Before paint dries, come up with the least flattering possible comparison as to that color looks like.
5. Wail and gnash teeth.
6. Get used to it.
7. Grow to like it.

Sing with me!

(To the tune of "Maria")

I've just painted my office Velvee-eeta

Persephone

15:05 / 15.02.02

Actually, I have a serious question. Is it possible to have a feature where you can print out a whole thread?

Captain Zoom

15:14 / 15.02.02

Ooooo, good one. Yeah, I'd like to second that if it's possible.

Zoom.

Tom Coates

15:58 / 15.02.02

Hmmm. that's a really interesting question, which I will broach to Cal whenever I think he's least likely to kill me for doing so...

Tits win

20:06 / 16.02.02

i think my Varis 08 suit is dead but this is how i'd like to be known next time... so after the change i'll be loging in again under that name... so burn this after the change... thanks

Gek

23:18 / 16.02.02

Um...can I have Rex City-zen back?

I'll sacrifice a bunch of other suits to the pyre...

Seth

16:06 / 17.02.02

Rex? Getting rid of his suits?

The concept is too much to comprehend...

Who will be there to pointlessly confuse us?

the Fool

09:19 / 18.02.02

I've notice bits of the old 'better the Fool you know' suit lying around the place. It would be nice to be made whole again...

Anonybot

09:19 / 18.02.02

A lovesong before dying:

The other clickers dissed 'em,
The glitches can't resist 'em,
Twist on my pistons 'n' they
Gonna crash your system!

I'm weighted! I'm plated!
I'm fully lubricated!
And any glitch I dated
Will know it ain't overstated!

Her looks is admirin',
It's me she's desirin',
My cylinders are firin',
And she's gonna need rewirin'!

I'm lookin' for a socket
That wants me to unlock it,
I got a pocket rocket
And no V-Chip's gonna block it!

My radar's gonna find her,
I'll dock myself behind her,
She won't need no reminder
'Bout my precision grinder!

Et cetera, et cetera.

Scrap, burn and melt this suit, please.

Is there a way you can make threads stay at the top of the pile even if no one responds to them? Say you had a message for everyone here but didn't really want people to respond to it, could you lock the thread and make sure it stayed on the top of the first page? I don't really know what kind of declaration would deserve this treatment, I'm just curious.

tom-karika nukes it from orbit

08:38 / 19.02.02

OK. I am a little confused. The change over to the new board was 'a few days away' as of the 8th of Feb. Then I read this about all suits which hadn't posted within a certain timeframe being burnt. But I seem to be 1: still alive 2: posting on the same board incarnation 3:a little out of date. I haven't been here for a week, i get lost when that happens.

can someone clarify what is happening to this place?

Ah well things always take longer than you expect..... Let's leave it at that...

MJ-12

17:14 / 19.02.02

Developers don't lie. We just can't tell time for shit.

pointless and uncalled for

17:10 / 22.02.02

Seem to remember asking that this suit be burnt. Seeing as that post has disappeared I'll say it again.

"BURN THIS SUIT"

Thanks.

Tom Coates

09:59 / 23.02.02

But you've posted 913 times - it's not like it's a spare suit that's hardly been used. Why would you want it deleted?!
