    Well, looks like the board transition ate the old CT, so I guess this V. 5.5. Thought I'd take the opportunity to throw this up there.

    I want to take a moment to remind everyone of the board TOS and that the CT falls under those rules(obviously). So just to give everyone a reminder of the rules before this hits off:
    • Rule 1: You don't talk about the FFCT
    • Rule 2: You don't talk about the FFCT (couldn't resist, sorry)
    Okay, but seriously now:
    • No Profanity
    • No Flaming, you may not get along with someone, but at least try to show some courtesy. We're not savages people.
    • No Trolling, a joke among friends is one thing, but know there is a limit.
    • No excessive spamming, obviously this is a CT so to a certain degree there will be, but I'm talking about continuous pages of nothing but [face_monkey] (I'm looking at you, Stinger. [face_tongue])
    Okay, now that's out of the way, take a seat, grab yourself a drink, handcuffs at the ready. Have fun, enjoy yourselves and remember to worship your cat overlords.~o)

    Yeah, large threads didn't carry over... before making this I even google searched for the old CT, which it found, but upon clicking the link, error page. I suppose the same would be correct for any other large thread.

    Also, I remember that stuff, used to love it as a kid. Guess I grew out of it though, because now I just can't stand the thought of it though, ha. Hope you enjoy it. :)

    Ah good that it moved before that spambot assault became a daily thing.

    This new board doesn't block the spambots and they can still make threads, but now there is a report option for every post. Its the new LFAMT.

    Right now, the new boards can't handle threads with 15,000+ posts in it, so it autolocks them. Every board so far has had to make new CTs,

    While this is all correct, we should still have the CT somewhere. If it is not brought back in a day or two (it will be locked, but at least it would be there), I'll talk to engineering and see if they can bring it over.

    I thought it was a prerequistic that you had to lose your mind prior to posting here.

    Or was i lied to because people wanted me to go crazy?

    Yay! New CT!

    I'm not too thrilled with the new look. I preferred the gray. How is everyone doing today? [face_hugs]

    I love the new intro post to this. It's much better than the copy-paste factual thing I put in the last one. Sadly, I have no more feline overlords to worship. Guess I'll just have to settle for yours, reapy.

    You can change it to the classic look by going to the Black Boards menu bottom at the top >> Then Your Account >> Then Preferences >> And on that page, you can choose your theme from the dropdown menu!

    Whether it's possible for the CT to be sustained on this board with the change now, I have no idea... I'd like to see the old CT again, but well, I get the feeling we won't see that happening sadly... In any case, if it happens, we have the old CT, if not, here's the new one. Not much of a huge deal either way.

    Hahaha.

    Can't say I'm thrilled with the new look either, but like before after switching to the classic and getting used to it some more, I'm sure it'll be fine...

    ... And sure, you can worship my cats if you like. [face_tongue]

    I'm sorry, Thabass, I got confused. Could you go slower, please? Pictures would help. (I seriously have no idea what you're talking about. I never saw anywhere to change my boards preferences.)

    Maybe I should focus on worshiping something else that I like even better... [face_mischief]

    You are so sweet, Mitsu. You should never underestimate my ability to be confused by the simplest things, though. :^O It's just going to take me some time to get used to the changes. I think I found it, but I had to have very simplified step-by-step instructions to do so.

    Thanks, Thabass! You know how easily confused I get. You're such a sweetheart to help instead of mock.

    This is my first time on the new boards. I don't know...the boards have lost some of their fun for me. Most of that fun has been replaced by Skype, but I still like the boards because there are some really sweet people posting here that I really like. For me, it is all about community, the people, the kindness and hugs that are always available to anyone who needs it. I feel so out of the loop now on games since I have yet to be able to get any of the current generation of systems.

    On the top of a board, there should be a small link where it says 'add fav'. The boards will be added inside the menu where it says "Board Menu" on the top of every page.

    Speaking of singing, I surprised Phil a while back on Skype. Apparently, he didn't believe I have the great voice that I do. :^O

    This CT needs pictures of Alice to make it whole.

    I asked him to make me an icon of Benny almost four years ago, Joel. He still hasn't gotten around to it. Don't feel bad. I've given up on asking him for anything. Instead, I now torture him with pictures and videos of Alice.
