Hey folks, sorry for the long disappearance but my life's been pretty thoroughly consumed by college and such. What've I missed?

Hey, question by Data Junkie on 2016-04-20 06:19:00 UTC Reply

I remember an Ekyl from the IRC ages ago, but I thought that I also remembered the name being tied to the baorder Name blipped. You're welcome. ~Nameless Admin. Is that the case or was I mixing up two completely different dudes?

Yes, but I prefer nobody use that second name. by Ekyl on 2016-04-20 06:22:00 UTC Reply

The whole reason behind the switch was basically taking my real name out of public view.

You know, I think I recognize your name. by Badger421 on 2016-04-17 02:26:00 UTC Reply

In fact I'm sure of it. Why I recognize it, though, that I am less sure of. Initial brain-wracking suggests something to do with math.

As to what's happened, I'm afraid I can't tell you much. I only started posting last month, and before that I wasn't paying particularly close attention.

Anyway, take this this Replica Holocron, perhaps it will entertain you during your archive trawling.
Nice to see your name pop up again. by PoorCynic on 2016-04-16 21:50:00 UTC Reply

Hope you've been doing well. As someone with his college years not too far in the past, I can relate to feelings of life-consumption.

Yours too. by Ekyl on 2016-04-16 23:02:00 UTC Reply

I'm in Boston College these days, so I'm in a better place than this time last year at least. Maybe when I get a bit I'll finally update some of those stories I was keeping you in the loop about.

Sup, favored rival? by JulyFlame on 2016-04-16 20:15:00 UTC Reply

Frenemy? Nemesis with friendifits? Friend with frequent enmity?

I don't know. Clearly it is one of the above.
Lots. Also, welcome back! by eatpraylove on 2016-04-16 18:27:00 UTC Reply

The IRC is not gone-gone... by Desdendelle on 2016-04-16 13:47:00 UTC Reply

Just gone from the Board header because it's basically deader than disco — most of the time there's nobody there. The channel is still up, though.

Technically... by Data Junkie on 2016-04-17 05:04:00 UTC Reply

The channel only exists when someone is in there. There are no more official Ops, no Bot, the channel has even be de-registered. I dunno when it happened, but I logged into Mibbit one day and it was gone. So personally, I just kinda gave up on it.

I still go on it by firemagic on 2016-04-18 03:34:00 UTC Reply

And I'm the only one in the room, so.
Interesting to know. by Ekyl on 2016-04-17 07:57:00 UTC Reply

Disappointing, of course, but it's been years since people really used the IRC.

Did you have to trawl through six months or so of archives to get that information?

If you did, I will laugh heartily.

That's a little rude but I doubt you meant it that way. by Ekyl on 2016-04-16 18:38:00 UTC Reply

Anyhow, those were observations from the very start of the archive trawl.

Hello returnbie. by Hardric on 2016-04-15 21:08:00 UTC Reply

Since you've got agents, I'll let the black-hole stuff aside, though you can help yourself with the coffee and/or the chocolate, and give you a self-updating guidebook of all the deathtraps in the multiverse. Let the glitterbags suffer the IO's wrath for once.

As for what you've missed? Well, Board archives will show all. Both good things and bad things.

True. by Ekyl on 2016-04-15 21:29:00 UTC Reply

I was hoping to spare myself trawling through six months or so of archives, admittedly.
