Some people like Aldo_14 and Setekh have some of the highest postcounts, yet I have rarely seen one of their posts that is less than 2 years old.
Do they use private forums or something?
Just wondering.

They used to be really active, but due to various reasons (marriage in Setekhs case!) they don't have time to visit HLP anymore :(
-
I know aldo defected over to sectorgame for :nervous: "reasons unknown", but I think it was something to do with the direction the community was heading :nervous: :confused:
He's not been here since March (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=181;sa=showPosts) anyway! He left shortly after setekh it seems (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=8;sa=showPosts)

aw man, i wish i was here when hlp was born....

Go take a stroll through the fist posts, then. History is waiting... XD

I was a guest for a pretty damn long time (I did most of that on the MT or Inferno boards)
-
at least you were THERE. I've only heard of this last september...
-
Kinda a necro, but I'm assuming that Steak is Setekh, as I haven't been able to find his account, and the only quote of his I found led to one of Setekh's posts. When I looked through WayBackMachine, Setekh was his original username, so did he change it to Steak and back?
-
Steak was just a nickname others gave him, which came from mispronouncing Setekh. He never used it as an actual handle. :p
-
whatever happened to Sandwich? Last I heard from him he was going camping, or something like that.
-
He's probably playing with .50cal cannons again...
-
Last I heard he was on a tour of duty or something, but I was under the impression that he had now returned.
-
Has anyone looked at his IM picture? o.O He's married now... let him be. :p He's still around once in awhile, though.
-
I knew Setekh was married, but Sandwich?
-
Yup. Currently his IM status is "Do Not Disturb".. otherwise I'd tell you to IM him. XD

That's a pretty accurate typo to be honest....
-
I've noticed that some people, like CobaltStarr and fantomeye have HLP avatars yet aren't admins.
-
I think they were admins at some point and worked on the original website, but they must have disappeared only a few months later since even I have never seen them post here. Fantomeye was a VBB regular at one point though.
-
Why did the VBB and VWBB shut down? On WayBackMachine, all indications say that they were going strong at the point of collapse.
-
VBB was a spam/troll haven that had essentially descended into chaos and [V] couldn't be bothered admining it anymore, and VWBB was very slow and the admins there decided not to bother any more, for the most part.
-

How do you mean? No typos there. :confused:
-
Yeah, by the time the VWBB was about ready to close the majority of the traffic was for BWO or TBP, both of which were willing to move here anyway.

Well, certainly at the start of HLP, a lot of the posts were 'fist' posts ;)
-
:jaw: :eek2: I... I... *falls over*
-
VWBB also got hacked to hell in it's last few weeks.
-
Yeah but that happened after the choice to close it had already been made. IIRC it only hastened it's demise by a few days since it wasn't worth fixing it only to tear it back down a week later.
-
You mean hacked as in identity theft/virus type hackers or as in countless trolls?
-
Just some script-kiddie who crashed the PHP, nothing serious, it was easy to fix, just not worth doing.
-
Wasn't there also a building move going on at or near the time they took it down? I kind of remember a problem with squadwar because no one seemed to know how to get it running at the new location (which I thing was right across the street). They finally did reset squadwar and get most of it back up but everything went down soon after. By that time is was almost impossible to log into PXO anyway. Good ol' lobby limbo.
-
actually "[V]" has a reputation for just shutting things down because they're not bothered to maintain them.
VBB was one of them, i wasn't too upset to see it go
Parallax Online was unforgivable. did i ever tell you the story about it? does anyone know it already? ;)
-
Do tell.
-
they were transporting it to a new location, dropped it, damaged it, and decided it wasn't worth fixing/rebuilding.
thus is the story of how parallax died...
-
WTF!
-
WTF!
seconded
-
Well I never heard the dropped it part but that is kind of along the same lines. Mostly I heard that once the servers got moved to the new building no one knew how to get them back up and running correctly. It would be a valid reason on why they needed to get it running again. A simple across the street move shouldn't involve any server changes.
-
WTF!
seconded
Wow. I thought that you'd died.
-
Did someone say 'postcount whore'?
:D
-
Um...no.
-
Clearly you lack an understanding of irony.
Lrn2chuckle, noob.

yeah well it should have been as simple as unplugging it and plugging it back in at the new location. they couldn't because it was dropped. i'm guessing it was probably a desktop that was converted to a server, or something like that.
because it's very rare for people to drop $20,000 rack-mount servers
-
Rare, but potentially hilarious.
Also, whoever said they "wish they were here for HLP's birth" made me laugh.
-
Why?
-
Remember that scene from Babylon 5 where they uncovered the Shadow vessel on Mars, and another comes along to retrieve it, along with an ear shattering scream at its birth?
Something like that ;)

When HLP was born it cried a ear shattering scream. :wtf: :shaking:
-
Yeah Kal's mum saw the credit card bill...
-
Why?
Because most people wish they were when their child was born. Or when someone close to them died. Or how I wish I had a shot at Jamie Lynn Spears before she got pregnant.
-
What? My sister watches that show. It was only a matter of time, being related to a piece of BS.

Really? Your sister and I should hang out. Though we probably watch it for different reasons...
-
Yeah Kal's mum saw the credit card bill...
:blah:
:snipe:
Thunder's mam....
-
IIRC Thunder = Kal, as well as a few other nicks he's had. I forget all of them...
-
:snipe:
-
Where's that epic /facepalm guy when you need him..?

Yes brain's of Britain I know that and you know that but half the people in this thread would have no idea who I'm on about.
-
Either you're referring to Kal's old username or the Scottish/Newfanese spelling of mom.
-

But the point is: **** the noobs.
-
What impresses me most is that nobody has made a joke about my mother yet.
I'm not sure if I'm more impressed, or more disappointed, in you guys ;)
-
:nervous: Your mom/mam goes to college!
-
**** the noobs.
Actually I wanted to write along rant to defend the younger members of the community but it is late and I am lazy so: Certain people might be offended by that but because you are An0n: who cares anyway?
-
We are talking about Mr 'Anything that doesn't run away' here....
;)

Do such forums as Grognards and the Meeting Hall still exist? If the meeting hall does, could I get access? I PM'd Kalf a while ago but got no response.
-
Meeting hall at least was put back to Gen Disc.
-
jr, you've got over 4096 posts, if Grognards exists you should be able to see it.
-
If it's on the Forum Main Page, then no, it doesn't exist... just checked.
-
There is no Grognards section anymore. It was replaced by a Site Feedback section for project leaders and moderators, but there hasn't been any activity in there for months.
-
What was it?
-
Site Feedback is Grognards, just renamed.
And it's in this very section, but only project leaders and moderators can access it.
