  Re: Can we help?
 
(...) It is my view (and that of other admins) that discussion of whether it is appropriate to mock someone is OFF topic for .general. Hopelessly off topic. Do you agree? If not, why not? It is my view (and that of other admins) that discussion of (...) (20 years ago, 2-Nov-04, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)
 
  Re: Can we help?
 
Hello! (...) That's actually true, and that's what I did now, too. (...) Funny that you picked this example. It's in particular due to the colour change issue that I dislike the practice of forcefully resetted FUT. Whenever somebody only marginally (...)

(...) From the Terms of Use: 12. (do not) Stray hopelessly off-topic without moving the discussion to a more appropriate location.

  Re: Can we help?
 
(...) I agree with Larry here. Especially since a majority of Lugnet posters don't actually consider where their post is going, they just hit "reply" and then go. (on a personal, non-official perspective:) I personally think we should be able to (...) (20 years ago, 2-Nov-04, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)
 
  Re: Can we help?
 
(...) No, I believe that if you review the ToS you will find that it is not at all about "posting what you want when you want". One of the great virtues of LUGNET, in at least this reader's view, is the compartmentalization it fosters. (20 years ago, 2-Nov-04, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)
 
  Re: Can we help?
 
(...) The force-FUT power of admins was a really bad idea. LUGNET is about posting what you want where you want (within reason). If I wanted a place where a bunch of admins told me where I could post and what was "on-topic", I would post at (URL) (...) (20 years ago, 2-Nov-04, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)
 
  Re: Can we help?
 
(...) It would have been clearer to just say that instead of being clever. (...) So he has. (...) Sarcasm and mockery? Not really, no. (...) Your FUT cancelled (it's way off topic for .general) and FUT reset to admin.general (20 years ago, 2-Nov-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Member Profile Changes
 
LUGNET Administrator/s, Under my user profile there is a box of information to the right. Inside that box is a graphical link depicting my country and my state. How does one change these? I have recently moved from Athens, GA to Arlington, VA and (...) (20 years ago, 29-Oct-04, to lugnet.admin.general)

More of my personal opinion, not official position. (...) Them's fighting words! Nik is gonna get you! (...) I do not want to squelch anything with my personal comments!

  Re: Request for .vignette group
 
(...) So, are you saying that only irrational actors read .aquazone ? :-) (...) That's exactly my point. I believe there is an interest in the topic - regardless of "theme". As Larry indicated, time will tell. (...) Doesn't that apply to any (...) (20 years ago, 22-Oct-04, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.general, FTX)
 
  Re: Request for .vignette group
 
(...) But that's fine, because people who don't read .aquazone (and do read LUGNET) are rational actors who act as they do because they *don't care* about Aquazone. They have chosen which MOCs they consider worthy of their interest by their (...) (20 years ago, 22-Oct-04, to lugnet.admin.suggestions, lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Canadian provinces & territories

  Re: Lost password
 
(...) Thanks, Lar - I don't recall multiple passwords being an option back in the day, but it's been a while and I may well have forgotten. No advice on my current problem, though? Does anyone know who has the ability to reset passwords? Is it a (...) (20 years ago, 3-Oct-04, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Lost password
 
(...) A word to the wise: If you currently have only one password, go create another one NOW, then every week or so try to remember all of them, so that you can always reset all your passwords (and you don't have to bump randomly) as soon as you (...)

  Re: LUGNet News
 
So the answer is you don't know? ;) That's alright... I kind of assumed he'd written it himself. Just so he knows, the system's really cool. And depending on the price if he's willing to license it, I may have a client for him. Thanks for getting (...) (20 years ago, 30-Sep-04, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: LUGNet News
 
(...) The code itself is written from the ground up by Todd-- not a commercial package or anything. I think that one of the original intents was to make it a 'marketable' product so that Todd could make some profit off of the code later on, although (...)
