hey lorin.. can i ask a question?

heh. Legend.

I think of myself less as a legend and more as the Old man (Forum Years) that recalls the good ole days. :P

Night, have a nice sleep.

No plan goes without bumps. There will always be problems. :P

Back around the time before I was a mod the system was really bad for picking 'em. Occasionally these 3 post nobodies would get modship and either go inactive, or in 2 cases, completely destroy the forum by merging threads in their section, moving them around. Deleting important things forever. etc.

The first time this happened was when I was a forum newbie, and it was the OT section, the second time it was the H&Q, guides and General. A lot of threads were lost in the guide forum which was where it hit the worst

Although the first attack was before I was on this forum, no idea what happened so I couldn't tell you. :P After I became a mod though another mod was compromised via a very convincing phishing attack, which also got a rep and several other members. I was alone for a while reverting this mods changes (we had practically the same sections) and attempting to edit their posts to remove the personal information they posted. Fun times. x.x

Bah, /blabbers on about nothing.

Yeah, I'm not saying that discussion and all that is gone. I'm saying the old in-jokes, (Scouarchers) (Catapult firing Catapult firing etc.) is gone. Really old VM's and H&Q archived topics have a lot of this, although a lot of it was deleted during the mod attack. :P

Yeah, new H&Q gets about 4-5 a day, old ones get bumped up. It's quite ridiculous.

Old H&Q might have gotten one or two a week. :P

Plus a lot of friends of mine from the old H&Q left the forums. Today's H&Q is a collective mass of smart people answering a question then letting it die.

Shame you weren't around for the original Evony H&Q, we we're much more tightly nit back then. Joked more in topics, and didn't have to deal with lawsuit threads as much.

But the old days are behind us.

*Tips hat* Glad you see that Sir/Ma'am. You'll be as quick as me with practice, one day.

Why I'm called the quickest draw in the H&Q.

Ah. I figured they just changed the BBS titles temporary so everyone would be affected. Guess they just made new ones then switched them back the next day. :P
