Yeah, that was scary, watching those ex-members pile up. It reminded me of that Twilight Zone episode where the protagonist's friends started disappearing all around him, with him wondering if he would be next.  [smiley=shudder.gif] Great to see things seem to have stabilized.

WOW! Im glad I showed up after the delete shocks.

 The board looks nice and I see we now have a little "Youtube" thingie up there and a whole crapload of Smilies.

 I have to admit after reading the rules I was pretty stunned to see this one on the list.    lol!

I was a bit worried that the forum had disappeared for good. 

And aye, lots of new emoticons. Now we just need to find some way to use them all. Some are less obvious than others...

And that one is at least game related. I remember playing Duke Nukem as a kid and finding those. Don't use explosive weapons around them (pigs will appear). 

I was on and saw a bunch of accounts getting deleted after people posted, so I just watched to see what would happen.     I like the new smilies.

It was like NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, this can't be happening

Saaaaame! D:

I think your observation skills are uncanny. My post count dropped from around 4199 to now 3675. My last post contained this statement:

"And kindly don't forget my hard-earned 235,671 post-count as of this one. I'm not a fast typist so it was quite hard to type doo-doo so many times."

Perhaps all the posts I made that contained the word doo-doo are not counted.

Congrats on the new JA Forum board. It'll only take me about three years to get used to it. And I still find this old emoticon really cute so I saved it to my little cloud and I'm linking to it:

Thanks to the winchester brothers for expelling all the demons  

hopefully the forum stays alive for more than a day now, because last time  the happiness was soon squashed by a 404 error.

Yip... Caroline had around 9 800 posts when she got deleted - I think I have a screenshot to prove it somewhere.  (Nope, sadly she was already declared ex-member by then) .Somewhere between the old forum and the new one, she got 7 000 posts added to her count.  She now suddenly has 16074 posts! O.O   (the smilies are so bewildering and long to load, that I think I'm going back to basics...)  Well played, Caroline!  I also want my old posts back.  I was at about 6400 when I went bang, so by now I need to have around 9000.  I'd be happy with just that, not quite as greedy as some people!

Yes.. well - the new site is going to take some getting used.  To me it looks more like a business site selling ...not sure. And much less Adventure-ish than the old one.  Oh well.  As long as the members are the same...

Pookie who are you?  Are you markonikov?  You shouldn't have re-registered - you might have ended up with 10600 posts if you just hung on to your old account! 

EDIT:  No, there's Markonikov with suddenly a huge Avatar, (same as Fnord) ..erm, so are you Cultura?  Pookie?

Oh boo, and I should have backed my message boxes up when things started to go wonky... -around 150 messages all gone!  

The 16,000+ is probably her total from all of her restarts shes had! (Seriously, it probably is.)

Pooky was my account I used during 'the troubles', but i won't be using that account anymore.

The 'merge account' thingie in the settings doesn't seem to work so i'll leave it as it is 

Hey..... I'm an OVERSEER now!!!   Cooooolllll.........

And all you plebs had better start grovelling and bringing me chocolate once my whip and spikey heeled boots arrive.

PS  When I made the initial post in this thread, I checked my post count and it was just over the 9,000 mark. 

Nice to see the forum back. Wow! my avatar is big.

Hehe- was just checking if youaw'll are still awake.  Caroline, I think it was more than 9 000 definitely.  You'll notice I amended your count in my post to around 9 800.  You were pretty close to Overseer anyway. 

@ Markonikov

You know, you could have teased me mercilessly by still posting some posts as Pooky but not saying who you were...  

Ivinia!  So happy to see you're still around... we haven't seen you on the foum for ages and ages and ages.  Re Caroline...- if you counted  all her posts in all her incarnations, I'm sure that she'd have even more than 16 000 in total.  ...but I smell favoritism in the air here... I want my old 6 000 + posts back too! 

I can still do that you know by creating yet another one, someday 

Hi guys, I just checked the merge accounts feature and it does appear to be working, so make sure and get all the credit you deserve for your alias posts. 

@Caroline Congrats on the overseer level!!!

How much did Caroline have to pay for that, I wonder. Anyway, she ain't got no spechul little pitchur to go with her Overseer (Harumph!) "triumph".

Some of you doo-doos need to resize your avatars, y'all.

@ Mark Thanks for pointing out Caroline's lost picture, (@Caroline I'm on it). As to the avatars we are working on our end to re-size them all, so just be patient with us a bit on that. Thanks
