Public Apology
 
Hi everybody.

I've just got off the phone from talking to a freind, I spoke to him about how I am in a spot of trouble with the forums.

Then he told me that HE did the "Rich stuck up dumbass" thread for a prank. It's silly I know, and I should have thought to have asked him when it happened. You see when my PC went all slow, what I didn't think about is that I went out to the kitchen to get a drink (thinking that it would be a good chance to go get one), when I came back it had logged itself out. When my freind came in he must have spotted the forums...

ALSO, I understand that I nearly caused a fight in the thread "banning for spamming". I apologise for this, as I didn't realise that the thread went on for several pages and had been resolved. I was intending to help get to the bottom of the problem, and didn't mean to incite anyting.

So I publicly apologise for my freinds poor behaviour, and my accidentally nearly causing a fight in the "banning for spamming" thread.

I hope some of you can find it in yourselves to accept this, I really didn't mean any of it to hurt anyone or anything...

Death...

Thanks Grig!

GrigtheSlig 08-27-2003 05:10 PM

No prob! I think you are really cool! Don't worry too much about that stuff, nobody hates me, for the moment, and I was the one who was the center of the "banning for spamming" thread! (Exept ShadowVyk)

Codek 08-27-2003 05:12 PM

Bah, its kinda weird here because one minute you can feel like everybody hates you, and then the next minute you can feel like everybody likes you.

Sure is kinda strange.

By the way, did Mac get round to PMing you?

GrigtheSlig 08-27-2003 05:19 PM

I noticed that too! It's wierd, you're liked one day,and then disliked or hated the next!:fuzconf: About the Oddlympics thing? Then yes he did!

Then welcome aboard Grig! Remember not to disclose too much if mac did tell you any "secret" info.

But we both think that you're just the perfect member for the job, always positive, and just the sort of attitude that people want to see in their weekly updates!

We are both really up for getting normal members really involved with this.

GrigtheSlig 08-27-2003 05:52 PM

Thanx! I don't think that he told me anything secret, but just in-case! He said that I get a cool name! That's so cool! I think that I'd do a good job too!

T-nex 08-27-2003 05:59 PM

What are you talking about??
Or is it secret??

What about the feeling of apathy? Cos i'm sure many couldn't give a Betsies f*ck...

OANST 08-27-2003 07:17 PM

Don't worry about it, Death. At least we know who hacked you now! I was thinking there was some forum stalker!:eek: Anyway, you're a good member and you've never offended me.:fuzwink:

No it's not secret at all. The new Oddlympics has an Important Announcements thread, where all the news is announced weekly.

Me and Mac have appointed GrigtheSlig to do this little bit for us. Me or Mac will PM him the news, and Grig will write it out as a news report in the Important Announcements thread.

Eventually, Me and/or Mac will stop sending him the news each week, and he will have to gather it himself.

Before Grig posts, he will send a PM to Mac (or me if I get mod access) and ask him to open up the thread again.

Once Grig has posted, Mac will close the thread again so that nobody posts in it.

Whoa whoa whoa...Death? I must have misunderstood or something...

I've just sent you an email about it.

Codek 08-27-2003 10:49 PM

Don't worry Mac, and everyone else too, it'll be sorted.

Disgruntled Intern 08-27-2003 11:03 PM

What a cheap ploy to avoid a well deserved banning.

Codek 08-27-2003 11:06 PM

What are you talking about?

Banning? Who? I'm not gunna get banned am I?

paramiteabe 08-28-2003 12:11 AM

Your all cool Death we know you were hacked. Its wierd sometimes on here one day we all get into these huge debates and we start hateing each other and then the next we all love each other.

Paramiteabe...:fuzblink:

Codek 08-28-2003 12:56 AM

No seriously, my freind really did do it. He told me so on the phone...

I really don't know why I didn't think at the time to ask him if he did it.

He didn't even burst out laughing! He was just all like "Yeah, that was me, sorry but I couldn't resist".

And what exactly is this "horrific act" that I have apparantly commited?

DI, there was no banning mentioned, not even a warning...:|

GrigtheSlig 08-28-2003 03:07 AM

Oh, ok, I get it, don't worry about it Mac, i'm not mad at all! I can do that! I still get a special name, right?

Codek 08-28-2003 03:09 AM

That's funny, Mac predicted you would say that. ;)

Yeah you'll still get your special title. Dunno whether Mac has anything specific in mind though. Any suggestions?

GrigtheSlig 08-28-2003 03:16 AM

How about Oddlympics Thread Update. How's that?

Codek 08-28-2003 03:17 AM

I was thinking of something like Oddlympics Newscaster.

It's shorter and makes more sense. (No offense of course)

GrigtheSlig 08-28-2003 03:19 AM

Yeah, whatever works best! Have you asked Mac what he thinks? None taken, offence I mean!

Codek 08-28-2003 03:27 AM

Nah, not yet, Mac's offline now, so I'll have a word with him about it tomorrow.

If you PM either me or Mac your email address, then we can keep you more up to date with progress on the Oddlympics front.

GrigtheSlig 08-28-2003 03:30 AM

Ok, you do that...i'll PM you guys my e-mail address. I thin I get it now. All you guys have to do is tell me when to start.

Joshy 08-28-2003 03:38 AM

Isnt this suppose to be an apology thread? Grig and Death can you please post your conversation somewhere else?

Anyways i forgaved you for a while Death... until you posted in that thread... anyways since you apologise... what can i say?

Alcar 08-28-2003 03:38 AM

Leave this chit chat for PMs. Posts referring to one member in particular that has the same potential to be a PM and is not contributing to the thread is also associated with spam.

Alcar...

Codek 08-28-2003 03:48 AM

Yeah sorry, the thread strayed.

But the same purpose still remains.

I wanna apologise for inciting a bit of a fight. I didn't intentionally start it, but sorry anyway.
