I've noticed two posts by non-NSGers. I opened them to see what was going on and, lo and behold, they were "guests." Is this yet another OMAC "improvement?"

Hey, people, join, get names, get personalities. Give us the opportunity to get after you.

Very old posts, people were probably deleted. Those were abck from '03 (Noob gravedigger, eh?)

Nah, they're gravedigs from five years ago.

No, that just happens when a member who has been deleted still has posts remaining on the forum--basically you see it when people gravedig, at least, that's what I've always thought.

Check the dates.

They're BALEETED nations.

Oh, sorry. Why would anyone go that far back to dig up a thread? Why not just start a new one?

I want to know how they even find the damn things.

Having read the posts that were used to bump the threads, and other posts by the person that dug them up, I think you're being unnecessarily kind with your description ;)

I want to know how they even find the damn things.Maybe they simply chose the option of having the forums list threads oldest-first rather than (as seems more usual) newest-first?

It takes dedication to practice the ancient art of thread necromancy. Bringing back the rants from ages past can be quite taxing.

You permanently lose 1 pp for each thread raised. *sagely nod*

That's one of the risks you run, but you will level up in the departments of Online Annoyance and Irritation Instigator.

*beats threads over the head with shovel and re-inters.*

THAT'S how we dealt with gravedigs in the GOOD old days.
*waves cane*

That was back in the days when our ancestors carved their responses in slabs of stone and brought them to the sacred Forum-Cave to be placed in one of the Threadcrypts?

What does OMAC think this is? GRAAL?

If you select seeing posts from "The Beginning" you get them at the last page.

Yay, history!

Not only that.... new member titles! (I'm a Veteran!)

... Have I missed something important again?

Yeah, OMAC bought jolt. Now they keep making changes, only to undo them because of user complaints.

Well, I caught that. But I haven't seen any threads complaining about the new user titles yet.

To be honest I kind of miss the old titles. Yeah, nobody under the age of thirty might know what a ZX81 h4x0r0r actually is, and you could be AdminBots Boyfriend at one point and Cabbage Patch Girl a little later on, but they had a little more character.

I'm way over thirty, and I also wouldn't know what a bloody ZX81 h4x0r0r is. Probably has something to do with making an electronic device your willing bitch, pardon my Lithuanian.

Someone once explained it to me, but I've since forgotten. I suppose it means someone who was really good at games (or somethin') on the ZX81, an old computer from the eighties. I believe you got it at 1100 posts.

I remember the Commodore 64 and 128, but the ZX81 doesn't ring a bell. Mind you, I got my first computer in the second half of the nineties.

The ZX81 was a computer released in (surprise!) 1981.
