I found something.
« on: August 26, 2012, 05:35:27 PM »
I found this, I think it's from one of your old websites, for some reason I found it in my pictures folder. I don't remember where I found it.

Sorry if everyone and their mum has this, but you know I figure it's worth sharing just in case it jogs a few memories.

You can enjoy a grander sight

I have run out of places to climb. I will abandon this body and take to the air. We will leave twin vapor trails in the air, white lines etched into these rocks. I am the aerial. In my passing, I will send news to each and every star.

I Have no idea, I just found it today I think it could be a piece off of an old banner or something? Maybe a background image.

"bluecross cathedral"

I can see a nightmarish place, filled with robed priests, nightkin on the upper level and vats of rum, beers, wines and spirits...

Doesn't look too bad now that I think about it...

This was current around when I joined the village so it's circa '99, I think it was gamestats but someone else would probably be able to correct that.  We had banner images at the top of the forum which reflected the membership and the general theme of the board.

Yep. TK is right. I joined the beginning of 2000, and that was a banner picture from when we were on gamestats. I believe that was created before my time, but got recycled at one point, since some of the people mentioned had already left the village.
All right, I’ve been thinking, when life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade! Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man whose gonna burn your house down – with the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!

I must have saved it withing the last 12 months, any further than that and I didn't even know of the village's existence.
I would look through my browser history to try and find the source, but hell... that's a hell of a lot of porn to sift through.

You've probably picked it up from some kind of wiki site or even a dormant members site, a lot of sites out there have various unwashed ephemera.

Luckily most of the strains are not yet resistant to antibiotics.

Maybe, you're probably right TK.
If I find out I'll say could be more stuff to mine out of it.

You mean this one?
http://www.nma-fallout.com/features/vault/setmart.html

I used to read this page at school that and wiki pages were never detected by teachers or the IT staff.
Everyone else in my class back then used to play flash games and got found out within seconds.
