Couldn't read it.  All those admin badges made me too paranoid.  Felt like I needed to hide the beer and run.    :nervous:

Man, look at all the newbies.

I should get back to checking these forums one of these days.

You might want to finish up your campaign while you're at it. :p

I know, really.  Hard Light at the top was fine when it was actually fun, but now it's just devolved into rants and political threads.  I mean, what are the chances of a thread like this happening nowadays?

Yes, this section has changed a lot since those days. The new title and placement merely reflect that.

You could read this instead. No admin badges there. :D

Yea.  I hopped over to the FRED forum while I was there.  Seemed like half the posts were me breaking things back then too.  :D

You'll find in the old days the admins were the ones who were most likely to be doing drunken antics :p

Just bring back HLP 2.0

HLP 2.0 = Nuclear1 eternally happy
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

Re: Bring back the Hard Light forum name!
I'd say it's changed, rather than degraded, not always changed to people's tastes, but, hey, the old style of HLP wasn't entirely to everyone's tastes either, can't please everyone.

He's a button pusher, and there's a lot of buttons on the Forum ;) It was amusing, but also disruptive ;)

Re: Bring back the Hard Light forum name!
Oh, it's just that just as this iteration of Hard-Light is not what they joined back in the day, the change they're proposing is not the Hard-Light I joined.

Re: Bring back the Hard Light forum name!
I seriously doubt that they are actually proposing a total revamp of HLP back. I think this is more like a thread for fun, and meant to poke at the older members and tell them they're back.

Well then, why didn't they choose a less flamebaity way of saying that?

I gotta say, that's usually what older members of communities think, no matter the community.

Don't be a downer, man!
