Title: What's your most 'open mouth, insert foot' post that sticks out from HLP?
Post by: jr2 on December 19, 2015, 08:32:26 pm

For me, it was when I had been a member for a couple of years, and lurking for a while before that.

Someone was making suggestions about contacting :v: about making {redacted}, which I'd already tried and actually managed to get a few replies.

An older forum member basically told him off.

I very n00bishly assumed that since the older member's postcount was only 100-ish, they must be new, and had no business telling off another forum member that I was familiar with.  :nervous:

I present:

That time when I {basically} called (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=47029.0) BlueFlames (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=143) a n00b.  (I actually said he reminded me of a forum member (Takashi) who was extremely annoying and IIRC eventually got banned.)

What happened to those Freespace data tapes? Was the data recovered or is it still rotting away somewhere? What was on them?

I think it might be the day I earned my custom title.  :P

I think we followed up with :v: about those at some later date.  The response was that the tapes were still in storage, but nobody could find a tape reader for them.
