We haven't rebooted boards in months. It went down a couple of weeks ago because of a powercut though.

Anyway, nothing is broken.

Can I take this opportunity to remind you all what a fantastic album "Exit Planet Dust" by The Chemical Brothers is.

Dig Your Own Hole is far superior imho

I'm listening to Music For the Jilted Generation now - to think it is almost an "oldie".

Don't lump all the blame on me.

I think, to be fair, we both played a part in it.

I don't know. It's a while since I've listened to them both in good detail, but I'll do that now and get back to you.

I find it odd that I'll think of Music for the Jilted Generation in the same way that my parents will think of the horselips or the eagles or what have you. That's an album I don't have on my laptop actually. I regret buying all my music in the mid 90s in a non-digital friendly format now.

I'll take you up on that, although I don't know what exactly I did with my tapes when I moved out of Dublin. When I did my open university course in pure maths a few years ago I never listened to the tapes that came with the modules because I didn't actually own a cassette player ...

Karl Hungus

Hehehe.

Also, it is clear that David Bowie > Chemical Brothers.

Hahah nice post count !! :P

weeder

still nobody knows what happened?

pbsuxok1znja4r

I honestly think people's posts were lost based on coolness/lack of coolness. Naturally, being the top bloke that I am, I lost relatively few posts.

Just as well I was never bothered about post count. It'd be great fun though if some peoples' post counts were reduced to a negative number

Big Chief

lost 3,500 *sulks*

shame that i can no longer search back to the posts that started off my boards career *sulks more*

Yeh this non-search thing is "wreckin me buzz". Feck google and its crap post searching. Boards new postcount FTW tbh.

Lol though - 6300 odd posts down the swanny. I'll have to redo my Xmas Seasons Spam Fest of 2001!

Gained almost a hundred posts I think...and they say nothing in this life is free!

"Oh hi Ecksor, why are your trousers around your ankles? You want to do what with my what?"

Ouch! Guess they weren't free after all.

Snowbie

Now i have more than most of you:D

It's not our post counts that have shrunk, but boards itself, the loss of the search funtion was the first symptom. Boards has finally reached forum critical mass and will now implode under the sheer weight of noobs and modlomaniacs until a month from now it will be little more than a single ezboard glittering in the darkness..

the final nights are upon us children
