"Ping" in this sense was originally a sonar term, I believe. Posts: 2242 | Registered: Saturday, April 10 2004 07:00 |

Drupal already has a gullibility detector module. Perhaps UBB.Threads has one too? I don't know. Posts: 8752 | Registered: Wednesday, May 14 2003 07:00 |

Gentlemen, the past eight years have been spent here. In that time our community has endured great hardship, and suffering. Through all that, we have stood firm against terror, strife, poverty, Ed, warfare, Ed, spambots, crashes, Ed, violence, Ed, dimished profit returns, graphic conversions, Ed, flamefests, debates, mall-shootings, RP's, Ed, noobs, newbies, leet-speakers and Ed even. Clearly, this has shown that our community that we have forged with our own blood, sweat, toil and tears can endure against all threats the great unknown wiles of the internet can throw at us. But truly, we stand at a crosswords, for while our mighty will has carried us through the trials that have smeared us and imprisoned us in ttombs of lies and flames, the ground we stand upon is falling away. As we depart this ancient and fabled hall that has been our strong tower into which we have run from the evil, let us never forget how without this place, our great and glorious community might never have been born. -------------------- Alternate account.

What are you talking about? You certainly haven't been here for eight years. Also, I think you meant "crossroads." [ Monday, March 31, 2008 04:27: Message edited by: Drew ] Posts: 2242 | Registered: Saturday, April 10 2004 07:00 |
