So, now that Hexus is kinda defunct

i don;t know, have you seen the state of reddit these days?

Chaotic, in the nicest possible way?
I've always thought it a bit weird Gates' praise for it.

It seems to be awash with angry shouting types, particularly those of certain political views of the zeitgeist, flaming and brigading anyone who dares mention anything they don't like. Moderation seems to be non-existent and the tech channels are often a mock fest of RTFM or "yeah bro do that, watch it burn" and then <insert gif> <insert gif response> etc

I dipped my toe into the water, found it to be caustic and writhing with snakes and piranhas, and promptly retreated to a safe distance while pondering the best way to annihilate the infestation. Drain the cess pool or just throw in dynamite after covering it in petrol? Maybe both. Even then I fear some of it would still survive like the proverbial cockroach after a nuclear armageddon.

No siree, reddit be not for me.

Just wondering if, now theres a lot less traffic on the site if people now read threads they wouldn't normally, just because there's a new thread on the forum?

Pretty much, and they do go off topic as people end up chatting generally, which is a good thing

Admins and Mods **have** to read everything ....

Since when? I sure didn't bac.....

Ahhhh, umm ..... never mind. Posted in wrong thread, yup, that's it, threadentity confusion.



/Don't think anyone noticed that slick cover-up.

[Saracen999]

How do you filter to not read everything? I mean, stuff goes so far off topic you never know where the gems are going to turn up

Well, if you're an admin, you go to control panel/user permissions for yourself and ....

ummm, dammit. Done it again.

More seriously, yeah I read most threads, if not all, these days. not necessarily every time I visit, but eventually.

And yes, I need to get a life.

Especially nowadays, there's a distinctly nostalgic atmosphere around here. It feels like popping into a frequently visited pub, full of people that you don't necessarily know well, but nevertheless, you do kinda know well 'cos you've known them for many years.

Game of darts anyone? Oh and that £1 on the pool table is mine - let me know when you're finished.

I still read most threads anyway, but if the title makes it clear the thread is about something in which I have no interest or to which I can contribute nothing, I'll skip it.

Darn, does that mean I have to call off the hit?

Besides, nobody ever said I was odd. Well, not often. Oh alright they say it all the time.

I didn't name names, and I didn't mean odd in that sense, but hey if you want to own it, own it! We're all friends here these days. The last guardians of the Hexus flame, watching the world turn to chaos before us.

watching the world turn to chaos before us.

Never a truer word spoken

True, the last few guardians

We're all a little odd round these parts tbh, how else are you meant to get through life?

Can y'all exchange contact info, or setup something like a discord channel or similar? The forums will have to close at some point.

Oh I do, but it's all in the terminology. They call it 'odd' but I call it individualistic.
Unique, even.
