The fact that it's happening on a Monday probably has an impact. The weekends are traditionally a bit slow on Spiderweb (at least in recent times), and I think those of us who ARE on today feel obligated to post... something. Even if it's just what we had for lunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To answer your question in a more direct manner, yes. Every forum change that has EVER taken place on the internet was preceded by talk of food. Images of pie, however, is new.

Well-Actually War Trall Harehunter Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I can't think of a better topic to finish out on. In the year I've been active here, I can think of about a dozen threads concerning food in some form or fashion. Cake is a common topic. The Harehunter is particularly fond of carrot cake, but it has to have two dozen carrots in it. (I know that one's old, but it just slides into place so easily.)

Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I'm thinking that perhaps, when the smoke clears on Monday or Tuesday, it might be a good time to start from scratch with some of our long running threads. I can no longer keep track of the contents of "What have you been reading lately?" or the AIMhack master thread, and I think one of the photo threads has been circulating for years. I would imagine that such bloated topics might be a bit intimidating for new members to dive into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Harehunter Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Sounds Ok with me. I've already trolled the Pun thread for our most memorable exchanges, which Harehaunter (I still love that moniker, Nikki) has posted, and that poor pathetic attempt of the periodic table of puns needs to be buried in the past. Maybe we can collect a good, reasonably funny set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Harehunter Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 You can still access the sites that have maps and help files. Just visit them and bookmark them.

I suppose we won't have access to the various maps and help files while it's down? It depends. If it's an actual topic on the forums, like the Strategy Centrals, it'll be down. But a lot of the maps and walkthroughs and such are hosted on other sites and will still be accessible. A Google search will bring them up, or you can save their links now before the forums go down if you know what you'll likely need. You can also save individual topics to your computer so you can have them available while SW is down. (Yes, other people beat Dikiyoba to the punch, but this has some additional suggestions.)

Easygoing Eyebeast Triumph Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Hmm...the "last day"...reminds me of the final day in Majora's Mask. Is there a large glaring moon glaring with a baleful glare at UBB? Also: apple pie FTW. Also: I know there are a lot foreign foods that cause me to think "Eww, someone eats that?!" I wonder if there are foods that seem normal to me that would provoke comparable grossed-out responses from people from other culinary cultures.

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 We are talking about a computer person doing the transition.
