      Wow, murmurs of discontent and one (sort of) flounce already. We should flounce en masse and set up our own message board. Run by the posters, for the posters etc.

            What's the point of the PDF function? Are we expecting a rush of people printing copies of their favourite threads?

              Yes. Very wrong.

                Cheers Villain. That PDF thing is a bit better, except it had the thread title in 18 point type - so "Roy Keane says Stick it Up Your Bollox" or whatever will be very, very visible to anyone passing my desk.

                Swings, roundabouts.

                Lyra - yes.

                  Bejaysus, this is going to take a lot of getting used to. I'm a bit ashamed that - apart from an admin - I was first up with a hurried and innocuous post. If I'd have known that OTF was going to immediately and unexpectedly transform itself into this new, brazen animal, I'd have said something a little more on a 'here we are, dear friends, on the verge of a new beginning' theme. But then it would have been bollocks.

                  Anyhoo, we're here and that's it. I only hope my initial thoughts - 'if it ain't broke don't fix it' - fade pretty quickly.

                    No not in print, but on-line they're generally harder to read.

                      I'm getting used to it. It's not bad overall but a bit slow.

                      Then again our Internet/email server here at work died this morning so for about 4 hours I did solid work.

                      Bastards.

                        Did it (the board) go down for about 30 minutes just then?

                          Nah. We all hit the button simultaneously. Don't you have it?

                                Ger is better. My brother's name is Gerry, and it will only confuse me.

                                  Yes, I said cunt. First. Hah.
                                  And yes, the board went down a while.
                                  Gary and Gerry? You're shitting us.

                                    Message Board Update
                                    2008-03-26 16:59:00
                                    We had hoped to keep the old OTF board up and running while the new one was settling in. Unfortunately this caused our server to crash bringing down both message boards. We have now had to make the old board read-only and apologise for the abrupt end to posting. All posts are still there and we hope you will bear with us while the new board gets up to speed. (We're all going on holiday for a fortnight now.)

                                      Gary and Gerrard (yes, that spelling) but he has been known as Gerry since about 2 years old. There are 4 others in the family so if you say them all fast, it doesnt sound so bad.

                                      It could have been worse: I was THIS close to being Mark Anthony.

                                        MY original log in was blocked for some reason, i've had to re-register with a temp e-mail address.

                                        I'm not sure about this new board, it doesn't run as quickly and smoothly as the other one.

                                        boooo.

                                          I like how it's year zero for post counts, although hopefully that will not infringe on the cosy cliques of ye olde boarde.
