Goodbye?

[Darth Tater]

As you all know Y2K is just around the corner. I personally don't think there will be catastrophic events, but who knows? Will those of us who only communicate via the internet ever see each other again? The truth is we have no way of telling. So I guess this is a goodbye thread, just in case this is goodbye. I know I won't be here for at least three days, since there will supposedly be a lot of people sending viruses over the net as the new year comes in. So just in case I'm staying away. I hope to see you all have a happy and safe New Year's, and I hope to see you all in 200! This is Darth Tater signing off.

. i can edit thi sbefore he comes back:) [[So can I.]]

Since no one will be surprised by Jae's post, I have decided to leave it intact and not deleted it. It will serve it's purpose as an example of flaming. Those not quite familiar with this terminology, can come back here and refresh their memory. Also they will remember the punishment that it entails, which for the *cough* first *cough* offense is a warning. Greg, consider yourself warned. Oh.....have a nice day :)

[Jae the Hutt]

Are you warning me about Jae the Hutt? Or just in general?

[DarthNut]

uh, ya, uh, I'll be here! I'm not leaving! But just incase, uh, goodbye!

[anduin]

Ah-ha, so you are JtH!!! ;) I am warning you and anyone else who try and pull **** like that.....do not flame!!!! I will even give you the benefit of doubt by saying that I know you are just joking (riiight), but it may not be appealing to new members that may come here today. They maybe shy and unsure about making a post, and this just might be the sort of thing that makes them want to leave. This is why we have rules.....if you want a free for all, try The Slacker Council. (link removed - I don't think it's appropriate for some people, plus your link didn't work anyway because of the quotation marks ;))

Tater, when you come back and see that everything's ok, you'll look like an idiot :P Anyway, nothing will happen, except maybe for a terrorist bombing here and there ;) Oh, and Tater: I doubt we'll be seeing you in 200 as you posted, but maybe in 2000 :D

[Son of a Hutt]

Oops, I edited before reading anduin's message... :o Tater you can't get a virus if you don't download a file and execute it...

[peregrin]

<sarcasm>Way to go Soah</sarcasm> ;)

[DarthNut]

Good name, aundin. :D

[anduin]

Did you just notice it DN? :P

[DarthNut]

No, you told me on ICQ. :P

[anduin]

That my name was Anduin? :P

[anduin]

Signing off until next year......see you on the other side :)

[dmaul96]

thanks, i would of forgotten to edit the message

[anduin]

I knew I should have cut and pasted that message...I didn't want it deleted....I wanted Tater to know that you were being a jerk :P

[Elanor]

Does anyone have any Y2K experiences to tell us? Because absolutely NOTHING happened to me.

[anduin]

Nope, none here, but I guess the real test will be when the business world goes back to work on Monday.

[Darth Tater]

Well, it looks like we all survived. I thought we would, don't get me wrong, but I felt I'd post that just in case, cause there was always the what if factor. Anyways, here we are.

[bmilder]

Tater, it was silly; think of it this way: If the world ended, no one would be able to ridicule you for your message because we'd all be gone. But, as was likely and what did occur, the world did not end, so any references to it doing so would be looked upon in scorn :P So the only appropriate thing to do would be firm that the world would not end, because either it would and people would think no more of your comments, or it would and people wouldn't get to respond to your comments :D

[anduin]

Tater, you thought the world was going to end? I thought you were just concerned for your computer.

[captain Tarpols]

lol

[DarthNut]

:P

[Darth Tater]

Anduin was right, ben i explained what I thought a million times to you!

[Ryan6233]

please don't think me crazy, but i had my popcorn ready for each time zone to explode :)

[anduin]

Ryan, had the spirit.......did you make it through all of the time zones?!! :)

[Darth Tater]

When I was watching Israel I was sure there would be a bomb. Good thing there wasn't though.

[DarthNut]
