Title: I am back and I see some changes...
Post by: Darth Joyda on March 06, 2001, 03:32:44 AM
Ah yes, I\'m back from the Holy Land of Israel.

Don\'t worry, I\'m not dead. The bomb exploded in Natanya, and I was in Tiberias.

I won\'t go into details, but I enjoyed the trip.

Boy I see some changes... and I didn\'t say I like them... but don\'t also hate them...

Sorry for this replying, but ( at the same time ) I thought to let this get up again AND express all the shocks I\'ve now experienced while I have scrolled these forums.

These shocks include...
OneBillyGunn becoming psx2c -staffmember ( without a warning :) ) - don\'t get me wrong, this doesn\'t amaze me but... you have almost 2000 posts! You\'ve posted like crazy!

Ooseven hasn\'t posted so much as I expected.

The looks of these forums have changed a lot, and I gotta say, as I\'m getting used to this new system, I\'m beginning to like it ( well, don\'t call it new system, but new look and new additions :) )

Unknown becoming a psx2centralstaff -member; nothing wrong here again, but this is without a warning as well!

A member called Clyde. Fill me in here! A mm -fan, troll or mm himself in a different form of typer?!!!!


I see I\'ve missed a lot of great things and changes. I swear I\'m never going to go to a vacation again... ;)

We\'re back to the real srver.Björn has been updating the forums,loads of new features.
TheOneBillyGunn,Unknown Ryu and some others (I think there are more) are updating the news on the main page for the time being since Björn is really busy.
Clyde is mm\'s chimp he sometimes get\'s away and posts.

Thanks for the news no-one!

So the new staff-members are just temporary? and maybe someday I can fulfill my dream? :)

Hehe.

Ok, don\'t blame me stupid as I\'ve missed a lot. Well, these are the "new" servers.. fast and beautiful!

Good job Björn. I was glad to see these changes, \'tho I was shocked at first.

So clyde and mm come from same ip address... :)

Like I said before ( in a post in a thread somewhere in off-topic forum... I will state it again as letting you try to dig it up would be painful and would waste your time :) ), I\'m lending more towards to loving than hating this new look.

The buttons aren\'t really something you expect from ps2-forum, but they\'re very clear and run the business ( and are better than the old ones, don\'t worry Björn! ).

Spell check is a worthy addition.. but un-needed if there isn\'t a word I\'m not sure to spell rightfully ( usually I don\'t typo... really! :) )

This is, once again, clearer. This forum has been very clear since I\'ve come here ( no complex sh1t ), and now it\'s even simplier and clearer than it used to be ( when you get used to this new look ), and that is a reason why I love more than hate this new look.

But I still got to get really used to this, and it can take days.

Let\'s welcome back our European champion, Darth Joyda.

Yes, Joyda, I have posted, main reason being I\'m home and I can\'t elave the house because of a blizzard :rpissed: in MARCH!!!  Anyway, it\'s almost over, so that\'s why I\'ve been at the forums so much.  I also became a Staff member because Bjorn chose me and a few others to help him with news and what not(BTW, what do you think?)

Forums have been upgraded, and boy you did miss a lot.  Registering now works!

I\'ve liked the articles written by you, OneBilly, and others; but is this staff-thingy temporary ( really ) or did you really become an all-time staff-member?

In either case, congrats :)

Well, I can clearly see I missed a lot; but you missed a lot too because you aren\'t me and vise versa ;) Well, some aussie may not give this a big thought but for me it was heaven to spend a week in sunshine.

What did I like the trip, or what part of it? I quessed someone would ask ;)

Well, I loved the views. The lake of Gennesaret, the hills and mountains; the towns ( but I didn\'t have the chance to visit Jerusalem... ). The trip consisted somewhat of grannies, as it was biblical and we read lots of bible and biblical history there. But it was interesting \'tho ( for me as I\'m christian ).

Also the Dead Sea left unexperienced. But I also loved swimming in pools and in the lake of Gennesaret ( as there was few beaches close to our hotel ).

Well, there was lots of jews, and rabbies, and I think they didn\'t like the presence of Christians. The tourguide of ours said that we wouldn\'t visit Golgata because we could get stoned.

And it was quite a shock to hear the bomb exploded in Natanya, killing the terrorist and three older ppl, but wounding over 30. But gladly it didn\'t happen anywhere the place I lived in. the town of Tiberias was very peaceful.

I and those chosen are forever staff members... we are the chosen ones... :laughing:

Speaking of which I think I\'ll get a new article... maybe on the bouncer\'s release...

Every day your sig speaks for the truth more and more, OneBilly :laughing:

Now I can\'t pass your post and not read your sig; it hits the spot perfectly.

"...Everything you wish you had.
But God gave it all to me..."

lol :)

Get my point? ( and see the sarcasm and the joke? :laughing: )

Don\'t say. You wouldn\'t understand. Drugs are bad, but they\'re the life-saver for an addict!

Do you know that ripping off a narcomatic from drugs can be lethal?

You wouldn\'t want to kill me, Samwise... um... right? :)

Power brings greediness. Don\'t act what you are not and stay within limits.

In other words, don\'t get too c0cky ;) -it\'s never fun in the end-

I think you\'re doing very good job ( as I see many new articles every day! ), and alas I think you just could be forever staff-members. What an honour!

Ah, Congrats SS88 ( if I haven\'t done this before, but if I have; then again :) )!!!

Sometimes the fate decides to get a vacation for the worst time possible...
