Newsgroup gateway - Erollisi Marr

***Ogmuk*** · 03-17-2004, 08:40 AM

This new feature can be discussed here. I hope you'll like it.

Valleycrest · 03-17-2004, 02:46 PM

Very interesting, I was about to post something in the "Our News" forum commenting on it, but then I saw this post.

More things for me to read at work

The one thing we didn't know was that you are supposed to quote whatever it is you are replying to. Might want to add that on the DOs and DONTs unless I missed it. Other than that it's a cool feature.

I know I had a raised eyebrow reading that some people were selling their accounts. Seems so odd to read that on a message board.

***Ogmuk*** · 03-17-2004, 02:56 PM

Yup. As we speak I'm working out a more detailed list and you have to join a group before you are actually able to post anything within the newsgroup. Information about how to join this group will be listed in the same list.

Valleycrest · 03-17-2004, 03:00 PM

...and you have to join a group before you are actually able to post anything within the newsgroup.

Ok, up until I read that I thought I had it pretty much figured out. Now, I have no idea wtf I'm doing. Guess I'll wait till the updated list before I post again.

***Ogmuk*** · 03-17-2004, 03:24 PM

I meant that everyone, also those who didn't read the rules, can use the gateway right now. When I'm done with my new "Do's and don'ts" you won't be able to post any longer until you read the "Do's and Don'ts" which will have the instructions how to 'enable' the post ability since I figured people will read the "Do's and Don'ts" too then

I hope that I didn't make it even more confusing with this.

Lurkerr · 03-17-2004, 05:04 PM

Yeah Ogmuk I have no idea what's goin on. All the rainbow colors.. Ahhh! What's happening to me!??

Zelgadis · 03-17-2004, 08:44 PM

I thought I was sure that I read all the Do's and Don'ts on the list. I double checked them before saying anything, actually. Some things I got, some things I wasn't too clear on, and other things kind of seemed to disappear after I had read them. For some reason in the long run I don't think the gateway will be such a good idea with the nit pickers in there, and all the other jazz which the Hello thread alone has produced. (Last line copied from my other post in another thread, which I posted before seeing this thread)

Zelgadis · 03-18-2004, 04:57 AM

Actually it kind of reminds me of "Bloobeeez suxxor, PVP roxxorz!"

***Ogmuk*** · 03-18-2004, 05:06 AM

That and "I saw this place before you did, noob"

Ulujain · 03-18-2004, 05:10 AM

Those two links I gave in a.g.e weren't meant to stalk Zelgadis or anything, they were actually helpful pointers. For those who have never dealt with the hive of scum and villainy that is Usenet they may be of some use.

Cheers and have fun with it.

Zelgadis · 03-18-2004, 05:42 AM

Yeah, I saw that. Sorry about the accusation, Ulujain.

Zelgadis · 03-18-2004, 04:29 PM

Hey Ogmuk, I thought you had no control over stuff in the Gateway. You deleted a thread?

Deadscale · 03-18-2004, 06:41 PM

Eh, been wanting to post there, I sometimes think I get the way to post then someone says "bah EMarr suxx0rs, they aren't doing it right!" So I'm just reading the threads for now...

"You aren't pissing right goddammit!"

Some seem to be quite arrogant, kinda like posting in rants and flames for every thread/reply you make. Not that it bothers me /hits chest, steel baby!
/mutters to himself, Will just have to pull a Jay And Silent Bob stunt...

Think we've been Aunked

I deleted it locally yes, meaning it was deleted from our forum, not the newsgroup itself. I wasn't sure if it had a virus so it was out of precaution. I can't ban users, or moderate it like I moderate this forum.

Deadscale · 03-19-2004, 10:26 AM

Squeak I tell you! Squeak!

Bah, why not? Just have to remember to quote someone regarding a topic. ><
