World X3 Off-Topic Thread IV

[union_jak]

It wasn't your fault the User CP was cleared, the Hype Admin deleted them all and didn't bother telling us. I was subscribed to hundreds of threads, and they were all gone without an apology. I guess regulars here won't notice this thread has been revived unless they're in the X-World forum at the time.

hi all

long time x-fan, first time entering this thread

 

[newwaveboy87]

Why on Earth would they decide to do something like that? Sounds like a huge boneheaded move to me.

 

[ComicChick]

the past subscriptions had to be removed to help with the move to the newer server. it was way too much bogging down on the old server that it was better to move to the new server without them to avoid corruption or whatever. i'm not tech-minded so i probably worded that all wrong.

 

[newwaveboy87]

AH! Now it all makes sense. Still -- a warning would have been nice. But, live and learn - right?

 

[Majik1387]

I miss this thread

a warning would've been nice yes, but we weren't sure we were moving until it pretty much happened. we didn't have a definitive time table to give anyone but fortunately it seems to have worked out for the better thus far

Housekeeping by Marilynne Robinson.

Hey yall!

 

[newwaveboy87]

what's it about?

To quote TIME's 100 Greatest Novels in the English Language, 1923 -- 2005

Fingerbone is a fictional town in the Pacific Northwest. It rests along a lake that has the distinction of once having claimed an entire train that slid from a bridge into its dark waters one night, taking almost all on board to their deaths. Time swallows people in the same way in this sly book. The narrator is Ruth, a teenaged girl. She and her sister are raised, affectionately but haphazardly, by various generations of the women in her all-too-eccentric family. This is a book about women, making homes and leaving them. Even when the girls stay home, the days and nights pass and the plot goes nowhere in particular, Robinson arrives again and again in resounding places.

Ayn Rand is a very decisive figure. Her politics are beloved by some and loathed by numerous others.

Ugh Jason. Teaching children? Even thinking about it makes me want to drill my face.

 

[newwaveboy87]

What? It'll all be ok. I won't teach them incorrect or naughty things.

 

[ComicChick]

wow fruity is back

 

[FRUITY]

What? It'll all be ok. I won't teach them incorrect or naughty things.

Not you. The kids. Blech. It's fun when you're one, yet it's horribly excruciating dealing with one. That's why I always punch my ovaries after sex. :heart:

wow fruity is back

Why are you surprised? I was already back 'bout a week/two ago at lsp.
When did you become a mod? and I want you to change FRUITY to Fruity

 

[ALittlePush]

Just a random thought I had. Hopefully the correct thread to post in.

What if Wolverine was impregnated by a facehugger alien. Would the alien be able to burst out of his chest considering his ribcage would be laced with adamantium? Would the alien's blood be able to corrode the adamantium? Would Wolverine's healing factor work if the alien was trapped inside him trying to get out?
