Heh. Now that the URL is munged, Firefox (2.x) complains every time this thread is loaded. It wasn't complaining before.

> Should an FPP/link stay if it's not in English?
I've already gone there, and I imagine a few others have as well.

I don't think you get the ability to "give away" HL2 if you buy the package on Steam, which is too bad.
I thought I read somewhere that Valve is updating the original HL2 game to use HDR rendering like the Episodes do, but this might just be wishful thinking on my part.
(As long as we're mentioning Steam, here are three thoroughly excellent games that can be obtained cheaply and easily via Steam: Darwinia, Psychonauts, and Deus Ex.)... [more]

Actually, I spoke too soon. Now I see the "Gift" links in Steam.

I got into the BBS scene late, in about 1992 (I was 13), in the 612 area. I was "The Necromancer" ("necKro" is a derivative of that; it's a long story). I mainly hung out on Citadel-86 boards (as five fresh fish mentioned, Citadel was great for conversation). 612 was ground zero for Citadel-86 boards at the time, since Hue Jr., C-86's programmer, was in the area. Often new boards would pop up on a whim, for just a few months, and then disappear into the ether again.... [more]

Nobody has yet pointed out that the channel is #tapes now, not #mefi.
Then again, anyone who goes into the wrong channel will be kindly pointed in the correct direction.

The mangled links seem to me to be a product of using a text editor such as Word to compose the post. The text editor changes the quotes in the anchor tags to fancy-quotes, breaking the link.
Of course the obvious solution is to double-check all your links on preview. The other solution is to not use a text editor that tries to think for you.

I'm not looking for an excuse to defend Steve; this is more about Space Coyote's disruption of the thread with what amounts to name-calling, for absolutely no reason.

That sounds entirely too reasonable. I went through all the trouble of bringing this casserole to the witch-hunt.

five fresh fish, I was always wondering if you were the same FFF I always saw around CitaNet in the early nineties. I guess I was correct! (Citadel 4eva btw)

This is a perfect example of proposing a technical solution to a problem, when it can be more easily dealt with through constant pestering and nagging of the benewbed ones.
