We've gotta go back, Doc! Back to the future!

how do you go so far back? when i look for old threads i can only go back 7 pages. do i have to reach a certain post-count before big gravedigs are possible?

it's some sought of conspiracy involving the illuminati and the super intelligent serpent race that lived before us

dont believe me?

read this then:-

http://www.apollonius.net/serpentrace.html

and genesis mentions them, aswell as the babylonian creation story...

Nah, you just set the options at the bottom of the page. You've probably got it set to 2 days, and you want it to be set to 'from the beginning'.

It's a sensible answer. It's probably the actual reason for this.

Therefore, it must be ridiculed! :p

It's something to do with evil fairies. It's always something to do with evil fairies.

Really puts a whole new meaning to "let's do the time warp" dance.

did i just dream a massive grave dig from 2003 by zilam? cuz i'm sure i just posted in it and now it's just completely disappeared as if it was never there. :confused: :confused:

No, he really did it: http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=274296

Glorious hack reburied it of course. :)

I was laughing the entire time. :D

Lol, did you see the reason Hack gave for deleting Zilam's post?

"Dude...c'mon"

I think it might just have disappeared because there was no thread starter.

What I also find odd is that if you click the link below the thread title (the name a of poster), it links you to a totally different poster, even if the original still exists. Lunatic Goofballs linked to They Were Right.

eh, i thought it was humorous :D
I did too. 'Xcept I was too wuss to do such a gravedig. :p

Well, your post was...but a four-year gravedig? As IR said, that's archaeology! :p

What specifically did you write in your post?

"too bad we didn't listen to this guy". The guy wrote something about the upcoming war in Iraq, and saying that Americans need to "keep it clean" or it will spell trouble.

Which is a major clue about how clueless Jolt are.

Speak English much?

Jolt are clueless. They're incompetent.
They provide just enough server power to service their average load, and when boom times come, they slow right down and/or fall over, throwing away their chance to get bigger and more popular.
They're running a standard suite of mainstream software, badly.

And "the beginning" being still set to teh Unix default instead of their own startup date, years after their startup is, as I just said, a major clue. Either they have a million monkeys, or they aren't employing enough sysadmins.

I'm almost over this anyway, so I couldn't care less if my account disappears 'by accident.' Someone has to say it: Jolt sucks.

Muahahahahahaha. Sweet dreams are made of this...

I blame the timewarps on these guys.

Well, yeah. :)
The sysadmin should be looking at the dials and switches while doing stuff with them. Not looking at the dog, though it's plain they're good friends.

Am I reading too much into this?
I'd be more cluesome if you'd attributed the pic.

Yes, this is me from now on. I'm going hard on everything which is wrong here, ruining any reputation I might have (drunken lunatic ?), and trying to ensure that no-one misses me when I'm gone.
Kind of like 'tough love.' Umm ... 'psychotic suicidal love?'

I'm having what people call 'a bad day.' I should probably shut up.
