The News Fader
Rich, I was wondering, do you not update the news fader on the board on purpose, or do you spend too much time at your Day Job and writing OOTS to update it. If the choice is between updating the fader and getting OOTS done on time, please work on OOTS! However, perhaps Baron, RawBear, Bogotter or X could modify it every mon. and thurs. to announce the new strip. Any thoughts (By mods or members) would be greatly appreciated. I hope for a very open debate/discussion.

Re: The News Fader
Awww, dont worry wampa, I would have mentioned your name if given the opportunity.
And leave the tauntauns alone. Especially one named Spit. Dont ask why I brought this up
Wampa is a nice, respectable person who has valid likes and dislikes.

Actually,
Wampa=Furry ogre. From space.I shall make up for the lack of ingenuity in my foolish post with a concise and witty signature. Read thus so far? Too late for you!
I laugh.

Re: The News Fader
I am quite aware what a wampa is. Its called sucking up to the mods in a blatantly obvious sort of way

Re: The News Fader
I only get them on the threads I have uber clicky thread modifing moderator powers over.
If you look closely you'll see that Wampa is also displaying his shiny gold stars on this board too, in all their lustrous glory. :)

Re: The News Fader
Sadly, there are only two community members that can change the news fader, the Giant and the uber rare Forum Admin. Normal mods don't have the power. Besides, *I* certainly don't want the responsibility for trying to be clever every Monday and Thursday.

Re: The News Fader
To the wampinator: I'm very sorry. I wish that I could remember the names of all of the mods, but I don't have a really good memory. P.S. I hope your dinner tasted good.
Raw: Thanks for clearing that up.
Rich: Don't bother updating the fader if it interferes with the production of OOTS...Please!
Thanks all!

Re: The News Fader
Isn't the forum admin Rich? He started the website, so logic states that he has 2 identities on the boards

I'm sure, if you asked Rich how to log in as Forum Admin, he'd make some dull noise indicating that he hasn't the foggiest idea how to do that (tho, technically speaking, he actually has all of the information required.).

Re: The News Fader
I'd respond, but it's too early in the morning for me to have anything clever to say.
