- I think this was it -- (link) - Beryllium Oct 21, 17:00 2
  - Is it? The page I go to asked me something about Drupal. -- nm - mara Oct 21, 17:06 1

- Any CP? -- nm - Pedobear Oct 21, 17:09
- Please tell me they're not actually hosting the pictures. -- nm - Mop Oct 21, 16:57

    - Some users are having this problem, but it's a display problem IIRC. -- nm - Jelly Oct 21, 17:31
"Overall rank: 0" That makes me better than #1, right? right??? -- nm - celedhrymandias Oct 21, 16:42
Portfolio page is entirely too unwieldy. Anyone know if the powers that be are planning on continuing to work on this? - Diva Oct 21, 16:42 4
- DMac said something along the lines of "this is kind of a big beta test so things will change as we go" in a post prior to the shut down. - Cuzzin Todd Oct 21, 16:43 3
  - I don't know about that. Any large changes would probably require more resources than HSX has on hand. - Mop Oct 21, 16:54 1
    - Well good - the sooner they're gone the sooner things can start to get fixed. ;) -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 21, 16:58
  - Yep. I think we need to test it hardcore over the next day or two and give some productive feedback -- nm - ty97 Oct 21, 16:47
You okay, ML? -- nm - David Oct 21, 16:41 7
- [deleted] 5

  - You're all three in Will and my prayers. -- nm - kelly Oct 21, 17:05 1
    - (four, not three) -- nm - kelly Oct 21, 17:17
  - Obviously, all three of you will be in our thoughts and prayers tonight. Hang in there. -- nm - David Oct 21, 16:45
- Yes, good question. Please check in soon, ML. Hope things are going well. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 16:42

  - We know who you voted for. Thanks to our "We Love Puppies Act" (aka, the "We Know Who You Voted For Act"). -- nm - Stephen Harper Oct 21, 16:46

  - I knew Logan was too cute to be yours. -- nm - David Oct 21, 16:46

  - Not anymore! -- nm - Mop Oct 21, 16:43
- Given that this wasn't a unique style to HSX, you could probably tweak it enough to escape litigation. -- nm - TWuG Oct 21, 16:42 1
  - Heh. I wrote all the back-end code myself, as I said below. I could do a full visual refit on the entire site; the only reason I haven't is to - Beryllium Oct 21, 16:43
- DIVORCE?! I didn't even know I was married! -- nm - Mop Oct 21, 16:41 5
  - ACCEPTED TO MIT?! I didn't even know I'd applied! -- nm - Mop Oct 21, 16:42 2
    - VPS BILL?! I--- oh. -- nm - Mop Oct 21, 16:44 1
      - Maybe a letter of apology from the last VPS provider? heh -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 16:44

    - Hee! I always wondered what it would be like to work there--I guess we know, now. :) -- nm - Trish Oct 21, 17:11
- You got it in a nutshell--"sticking together". The idiot PTB and consultants never learned the phrase "if it ain't broke, just fix it". HSX had one of - Trish Oct 21, 16:48 2
  - TRISH!!! - HSXChef Oct 21, 16:50 1
    - The best part of this place is that we can be ourselves. Also, Bery doesn't have anything to lose, so the fraskels and Erics of the world won't be - Trish Oct 21, 16:56

- So what do YOU think of the new HSX? ;) -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 21, 16:41 7
  - One word... - HSXChef Oct 21, 16:42 6
    - What if you had two words? -- nm - Mop Oct 21, 16:44 5

    - "I'll see you on Monday!" -- nm - David Oct 21, 16:42
  - I'm a refiner not exploration and production. -- nm - HSXChef Oct 21, 16:40
- :) I cloned it myself in PHP. The backend code is all written from scratch. :) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 16:39 1
  - well done - HSXChef Oct 21, 17:12

So there's no way to change your display name? I'm not "Boogaloo!" -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 21, 16:37
ST is the cheapest "consultant" they could have right now. - CrankYanker Oct 21, 16:37 1
- The consultants in this case, I believe, are also code monkeys. - Beryllium Oct 21, 16:38

look at Havens getting all sensitive on us - Die Incognito Oct 21, 16:34
havens, I don't agree with the "who on TT still plays the game" thought about us not having good imput. even more so that it could have been a reason - dogbert183 Oct 21, 16:32 3
- In 2000/01 there was a group of us from here on TT that HSX recruited into a feedback council of sorts. They bounced ideas of us, we bounced ideas off - TWuG Oct 21, 16:37 2
  - HERE HERE!!! You all should have had input. They would have then kept the tarding value of the game going. -- nm - gordon06 Oct 21, 16:41 1
    - And that would be trading! Impossible to even determine all your port holdings. A large prot will never be able to re-short. And there is no way to - gordon06 Oct 21, 16:43
2 notes: I think I'm officially done playing HSX. And I will gladly be Bery's love slave for having created this forum. -- nm - TWuG Oct 21, 16:30 1

  - Serves you right for the Doctor Who nonsense. -- nm - David Oct 21, 16:32 3
    - See, but you cut of your own nose just to spite me. -- nm - TWuG Oct 21, 16:33 2

- shirt question for you - Die Incognito Oct 21, 16:36
This just ain't how you do it! If Facebook has taught us nothing else, it's that you add new features slowly and then change the old ones. -- nm - Mop Oct 21, 16:28 2
