Yup, just got it.

Edit : and answered it... They are not going to like my ad-lib.


Same here. More than 3 years of playing and paying and they couldn't care less what I thought, and now 3 months after I stop they suddenly care  Roll Eyes

I wonder how they'll interpret my answer to "How much will you play this month compared to last month" - when I answered I didn't play last month, how could I play less this month?

I probably should have responded that I'd play less, in hindsight I doubt they'll correlate the questions and figure out that I didn't play last month and playing the same means I won't play this month or next month either.

what if they want us to discuss the questionaire and especially the tell your honest opinion here to then give us a ban for being a vault member


LOL, Turbine, if you're watching here and you have a ban quota, I volunteer to be one of the banned. I'll even complain about it if that would make you feel like you're accomplishing something.
  

Turdbin, keep changing the DDO rules, because McDonalds sold over 200 billion hamburgers by changing the recipe for their Special Sauce every couple of months to keep interest up.

Well, I can't speak for him.

But I only managed to get rid of my Dos based computers about 3 years ago here at work.  And only by migrating the Dos program into pcdos in a vm window.

I still have one machine here at work, that if we need to reprogram the controller for the servodrives, can only be talked to through a DOS or Windows 3.1 program.

I'm hoping I can convince management to finally pay for upgrading it to a more modern platform,  but I'm still betting on having to do an emergency upgrade in the middle of the night, when our last spare servodrive for that machine dies.

Yeah, there are still pockets of it, i'm sure.  As well as System/360 IBM Mainframes.  Hell, some companies still have programs written in COBOL.  But that doesn't mean there's much of a career path in that being your core competency.

I'll expand on what Arkat is saying. We all know YaBB doesn't show the next page sometimes. Well, instead of typing "Yaaaaaaabbbbbb" or some such, folks have moved on to "Wilma." As indicated by Arkat, there is a relationship between yabba and the "yabba dabba do" of the Flintstones. Hence, the use of ol' Fred's line when he's locked out. On another note, the side window always looked big enough to get through to me...
  

A half-dozen boss Vaulties donated generously with real money to my classroom during a fundraiser in May 2015 to get poor kids books to read. I won't forget that. They know who they are, and they freaking rule.

I can't find the thread, but someone had like 3 Yabb's in a row, and someone quoted it and replied with

Wilmaaaaaaa! bam*bam*bam*bam*bam*

Like Fred beating on the door on the cartoon.  I found it HIGHLY amusing and have taken it up.

Yes, I am bored.

Then I thought better of it.

It was my own father who began calling me meat-head when I was like 12. I'm certain Mr. Bunker had a lot to do with it..

We just finished migrating a new client from their old software to our offerings.  Their old system was a DoS based database application using Btrieve ISAM files.  They had been running that old junk for over 25 years.

If you're playing less than zero, then a duplicate copy of you pops up somewhere in the Midwest and starts playing.

That's only cuz you couldn't dish it back like Mr Jefferson.  Otherwise you would have had your own series too.

Probably random or the service who is sending these mails is doing it slowly to prevent  getting marked as a spam mail service. I didn't get one yet and I am also using the official forum, mostly without beeing logged in though.
