Just wondering where x-ray went? Ran into a pile of lead or something?  :-?

I seem to have disappeared too!

Yeah, I miss X-Ray.  One of the reasons why I don't post here so much is because I haven't heard from him in a while.

Come back soon Brandon.

Yeah, where *IS* everybody? I've noticed a lot of users migrated to AW, but frak, Helgis got banned for '300' days, so I can't really see how it's better there, than here. Even CU_AMiga never got it that bad here.

Man, that place is like a Gestapo.

the ban was for 85 days if memory serves.
the 300 days listing was a temporary setting while the matter was discussed.

What did he do to deserve a ban of 85 days? (No flaming or interpretation please, just the facts.)

Hey hey hey dudes..

What's all this about, can't a fella get any sleep around here?  :-P

@ PMC, Odin and Adz

Don't you encourage me, lads, don't you dare....cos I'll be composing odes and then you'll be sorry  :evilgrin:

But seriously: I've had a load of things keeping me busy and I kind of drifted away from the Amiga lately. I'll be lurking around and if I think of something fancy to post I'll do it...but so far I don't have any news of note (well nothing for general consumption).

@ Adz

Thanks for the email and the PM, I will see what I can do.

I was going to ask 'Who's x-ray?'. Somehow I don't remember him.



McNorris hasn't been around here for a while. And where the heck is Fade?

It would be really great if meers and Billsey were back, too. :-/ But something tells me that meers will be back...

Hum,
It's like he's been trapped down a mine for the last few weeks.

Yep, I too must belatedly welcome X-Ray back.

Whoa! Somebody's got piss in their cheerios. I just made an observation, is all. Sheesh. :-o  :-?

Then again, *I* was never one to get their boxers in a tiff, from the whole red/blue war. You can't seem to make an opinion about AI or the AmigaOne, without someone losing their lunch over it.     :roll:

@ PMC

Thanks, boeta...I hope you are well. I thought about you the other day: they are selling Ouma rusks and biltong at a little stall at London Bridge, I just had to get some. Once tasted never forgotten   :-)

@X-Ray

Long time no see. Bout time you took another macro photo, btw, Adz totally pwned you with the last one ;-)
Title: Re: Missing users
Post by: X-ray on May 10, 2006, 10:10:34 AM
@ Karlos

Ja, I know, I was thinking to myself "what the hell can I do to beat that?"
Well I tried one, but I'm not sure that my hardware is up to Adz's fancy macro lens. But, since nobody put rules on how the final image is to be produced, if I lose that one I will break out the X-ray equipment

What can I do to help things along, keeping in mind that a lot of the "missing" may simply be "it's summer, and I prefer outside in the summer time".

I certainly haven't tried to run anyone off.  Is it my deodorant?  A breath mint perhaps?

What about a competition?
 The person with the highest post count in a month gets a date with Kiki Stockhammer.
 The person with the lowest count gets a date with Fleecy Moss?

I'd have to reset all post counts to zero, and you know how well that would work  :)

Besides, "gets a date with Fleecy" is a flipping scary thought.  Perhaps "is forced at gunpoint to go on" would be a better verbage... :)

Like going on a date with Kiki 'far past use-by-date' Stockhammer is much better  :egad:

There are at least two characters who used to visit this site before being barred who, if they haven't been sectioned by now, would make far worse partners for a date!

At least she wouldn't bore you rigid by talking about 'orthogonal persistance' all night long...although she might start singing

Maybe that would make it worth it. Who wouldn't appreciate classic hits like 'Suck My Spock' or 'Set Your Phaser For Fsck'.
