  - eh, they aren't a philanthtropic organization, they are entitled to change. - ty97 Oct 21, 22:34 1
    - you've changed. -- nm - Gwaahjo Oct 21, 22:36
- What the hell ... - ReluctantCynic Oct 21, 22:27 5
  - That's a pretty serious one, I know - HSXChef Oct 21, 22:34 1
    - I think it's extraordinarily serious. Like "mission critical" serious. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Oct 21, 22:38
  - your 60? and from Poughkeepsie? -- nm - ty97 Oct 21, 22:28 2
    - You should see his home movies he's been making called the Poughkeepsie Tapes. -- nm - Qale Oct 21, 22:31 1
      - Hey, when you're competing against the David's Backyard Adventures franchise, ya gotta get creative. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Oct 21, 22:40

  - i tried doing that in my bump after seeing the html note there, but it didn't take. -- nm - b! Oct 21, 22:30 3
    - oh, you have to be an advanced trader to do that I think (i.e. post from your big port, I'm guessing) -- nm - ty97 Oct 21, 22:31 2
      - this is my big one. (that's another thing - anyone checked out the leaderboard? usernames are listed.) - b! Oct 21, 22:35 1

        Can I blockquote you on that? -- nm - Qale Oct 21, 22:37 1
        
        you can apparently use HTML tags -- nm - ty97 Oct 21, 22:43
        
        You'll shoot your eye out kid. -- nm - HSXChef Oct 21, 22:37

  - in soviet russia?? -- nm - chris Oct 21, 22:20
mrbinns just posted an email he sent to D.Mac... - Krusty Oct 21, 22:16 16
- why subject D.Mac to this kind of stuff? he's been well aware since before the beta testing even began of the issues - chris Oct 21, 22:18 15
  - In their defense - HSXChef Oct 21, 22:40 1
    - Seeing you have been there, do you think this is the way it is going to be or will there be changes we can live with? -- nm - BAD Oct 21, 22:46
  - He's pretty much become our single point of entry unless we dare to use the forums and blog. -- nm - Mop Oct 21, 22:36
  - I had the feeling that D. Mac was into it all that much...I read a few times where he said "the powers that be" made me think he was not into it much. -- nm - BAD Oct 21, 22:31
  - it was clear to me months ago that he knew how the vast majority of us would react, and - b! Oct 21, 22:23 1
    - he certainly did -- nm - ty97 Oct 21, 22:26
  - He's the face of hsx as far as people know. When there's an issue it's D.Mac who everyone turns to. - Krusty Oct 21, 22:23
  - I sent mine to D Mac and support, and posted it to Support -- nm - ty97 Oct 21, 22:22
  - Mostly because D. Mac was our entry point into that vagueness that is "the powers that be" -- nm - Qale Oct 21, 22:22 6
    - i guess i mean that at this point it's just piling on -- nm - chris Oct 21, 22:22 5
      - THe feedback isn't encessarily direct at him. He's a way to get it into the HSX system -- nm - ty97 Oct 21, 22:26
      - They piled on exactly the same way in the beta, and nothing changed. - TFox Oct 21, 22:25 3
        
        and i fully expect nothing to change this time around either - chris Oct 21, 22:29 2
        
        Be that as it may, I will retain hope that there is someone over there who hasn't gone full retard. -- nm - TFox Oct 21, 22:33 1
        
        duh duh duh D.Mac! -- nm - chris Oct 21, 22:36
SITWAP: LucasArts and Bioware announce new MMORPG -- Star Wars: The Old Republic. (linky) -- (link) - ReluctantCynic Oct 21, 22:14 1
- hmmm - chris Oct 21, 22:15
ST has a niche audience that will - in all likelihood - decrease with time. We need to do something to attract new people. - Mop Oct 21, 22:12 3
- why would we want/need new people? - chris Oct 21, 22:14 1
  - Because one day, it's gonna be just you and me. And I'm gonna have to eat you. -- nm - Mop Oct 21, 22:18
- Oh! Maybe we can attract people orphaned from other sites that got screwed over? ST can become the virtual version of the Idaho compound! -- nm - Mop Oct 21, 22:12
i'm voting for the nubber! -- nm - chris Oct 21, 22:01 1

Yup, it's a woot-off. -- nm - Jelly Oct 21, 22:01 2

    - i saw the zeroes, but everything came back with a refresh. -- nm - b! Oct 21, 22:05 2
      - ahh, yes, they are back - ty97 Oct 21, 22:08
      - *gets back in the shower* -- nm - Bobby Ewing Oct 21, 22:06
    - It's almost like today never happened!! n.m. - glory Oct 21, 22:04 1
      - *steps out of the shower* -- nm - Bobby Ewing Oct 21, 22:05
    - lol -- nm - HSXChef Oct 21, 22:03
Looks like it crashed at reset... -- nm - BAD Oct 21, 21:53 9
- Nobody new is going to be interested in this. It's hard to keep me interested. They better start handing out Ice Cream or they are going to start - H-Mogul Oct 21, 22:59
- damn it, I had 3 fucken bonds left to do, geez, this is stupid, I'm not whining cause the game is different, cause everything is unfamiliar, - zeitgeist Oct 21, 21:59 2
  - are you sure your trades went through? i tried some (last week's bonds, oops) and none took, although i received a conf. note. - b! Oct 21, 22:08 1
    - oh, that would be the freakn icing on the shit cake -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 21, 22:10
- Yup but reset is supposed to be pacific time now not eastern. -- nm - Krusty Oct 21, 21:56
- yay! :) -- nm - peglegpete Oct 21, 21:54 2
  - The long national nightmare is over! -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 21, 21:55 1

*hugs her peeps in the bery-shiny new digs* -- nm - b! Oct 21, 21:49 12
- I think we all need cookies... - glory Oct 21, 21:59 4
  - glory! - b! Oct 21, 22:04 3
    - I'm glad to be seen! - glory Oct 21, 22:10 1
      - i went back the other day and looked at the 'tron archives from the last old tt days, and i was - b! Oct 21, 22:29
    - heh "glory b" -- nm - chris Oct 21, 22:08
- 575 days. That's insane to think about. I mean really. I'm glad that maybe day 576 is really new day 1? -- nm - Qale Oct 21, 21:54 3
  - it really is insane. looney tunes. loco. -- nm - b! Oct 21, 21:59 2
    - Just as long as that other stuff doesn't become the new version of normal. -- nm - Qale Oct 21, 22:16 1

OOoooooh SlackerTalk yard signs... I so so so wish I had a yard right now :( -- nm - celedhrymandias Oct 21, 21:46 3
- Bery, do you get a cut of merchandise orders? -- nm - ReluctantCynic Oct 21, 21:48 2
  - CafePress charges a base amount per item and you can set the purchase price above that base. - psilotum Oct 21, 21:51 1
    - I'm so purchasing a lawn sign. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Oct 21, 21:59
Last season, I liked Chuck a lot, but it was always a show that, while good, was never as good as it could be. - Cuzzin Todd Oct 21, 21:45 2
- but yet Worst Week is probably a lock for another season and Terminator got its full season order (though I believe Chuck did too) nm - Jovian Oct 21, 21:50 1
  - I think Chuck got a full season before the season even started (but could be wrong). - Cuzzin Todd Oct 21, 21:53
How the hell do you trade if you can't see the days change -- nm - H-Mogul Oct 21, 21:41 12
- Are you looking for this? -- (link) - ty97 Oct 21, 21:46 3
  - I'm not sure that ever really worked today. It showed the same changes all day and didn't include the adjusts. - glory Oct 21, 22:06
  - that's change in worth yesterday? (at the close last night) -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 21, 21:51 1
    - oh, interesting, so there is no market lab. -- nm - ty97 Oct 21, 22:20

  - Wonder if they are going to dump comm free Saturdays also. -- nm - BAD Oct 21, 21:48 2
    - I don't know if I'll still be playing to worry about it, I'm still not done with bond adjusts tdoay, ferk, its takes minutes for each page to load -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 21, 21:53 1
      - Heh - You get points for even bothering to try man. - Cuzzin Todd Oct 21, 21:54
  - Maybe you'll be fined or banned for the flaw thing and you won't have to worry about it anymore. Win/Win! -- nm - Qale Oct 21, 21:48 3
    - otherpeople seem to be doing it. one thread has over 900 posts from this flaw -- nm - peglegpete Oct 21, 21:52 2
      - It doesn't really matter. -- nm - Qale Oct 21, 21:55 1
        
        I mean, one way or the other it won't matter is what I should have posted. -- nm - Qale Oct 21, 21:55
any Batfans in LA care how they came up with all those crazy sounds in TDK? - chris Oct 21, 21:39
Wasn't someone just praising the simplicity of the Drudge Report web site the other day? Well, speaking of Max Keiser... -- (link) - Mop Oct 21, 21:28 10

  - Have you see his Blip TV channel? -- (link) - Mop Oct 21, 21:37
- The Oracle can't be a bad as HSX currently is. :) -- nm - H-Mogul Oct 21, 21:32 2
  - well, he did predict food riots at the Beijing olympics... -- nm - mafic Oct 21, 21:37 1
    - Beijing Olympics... 2186! -- nm - Mop Oct 21, 21:40
So, having given up on HSX. What tasks can we charge Bery with that will make his life miserable? -- nm - Mop Oct 21, 21:23 9

  - i offered to give you a jump last night - chris Oct 21, 21:40 2
    - I waited to have it done by a professional. - Dano Oct 21, 21:46 1
      - the reason i will never buy american again was my Grand Prix that went through about five or six alternators before i killed it for good - chris Oct 21, 22:00
  - Isn't that already the primary purpose of ST? What the hell have I been doing all this time? -- nm - Mop Oct 21, 21:38
- I called dibs already. -- nm - David Oct 21, 21:24 3
  - What, you don't have enough fantasy leagues already? -- nm - Mop Oct 21, 21:49

  - (lyc, I've sumbitted tis to D Mac and Support) -- nm - ty97 Oct 21, 21:55
  - Or you could just tell them "Hey - remember the feedback the beta-testers gave you? Read it." -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 21, 21:44

- Rub! :)) -- nm - H-Mogul Oct 21, 21:14 2
  - And you know what! Since I'm in a mood. I'm suspending Chrome too. Back to Firefox as the main browser! -- nm - Qale Oct 21, 21:19 1
    - I can't get it to load in FF. Well I do get the ads. And I can't login with a second IE window either. Truely screwed. -- nm - H-Mogul Oct 21, 21:27
My non-ST fantasy keeper league has one irrevocable IR spot. Is Maroney worth putting in there so I can keep him for next season? - nubby Oct 21, 21:09 3
- Can't see it. Brady back next year, looking for redemption, I think they go to the air more than you usually do with a returning QB. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Oct 21, 21:15

- She's D.Mac. -- nm - psilotum Oct 21, 21:13 3
  - I hate D.Mac V2! -- nm - Mop Oct 21, 21:24 2
    - Well D.Mac V1 isn't high on my list right now either. -- nm - H-Mogul Oct 21, 21:36 1
      - I have a feeling DMac is biting his tongue to keep from saying "I told you so" repeatedly. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 21, 21:41
- Insipid is what they are. -- nm - Qale Oct 21, 21:08
