Alright.. I am kinda around but I really dont know what in the world is going on.. I know there is some odd merger and all kinds of other crazy off the wall stuff..

I really have kinda lost my drive to do massive amounts of posting and have been spending more time doing my job over @ ExtremeOverclocking.Com. Things are getting really busy over there and I have a lot of reviews I need to get done.

I will stop in tommorow to read through the threads and all that but if you cant tell this whole merger thing kinda has thrown me off. I am still crunching but it just, I dunno, I am just not too plused by the whole damn thing..

Later

Hey Mak :wave:

Glad to see you found your way over, wondered where you got to. Sorry you're feeling all disgruntled. Don't worry, we're the same old gang. Well, some older than others :help: but here we are.

Take a read through the Merger Q&A Forum when you have a spare, oooh... 2 hours :D That should fill in some blanks for you.

:hug:

Oi!!!
Watch it woman :D

Don't feel disheartened Mak, it was something that just, well happened. We are still the same group and when the forum changes come into place you should feel right at home. :)

Heh,
I know what you mean Mak, I'm not sure I like the switch over. It seems we've lost alotta folks in the transition, aside from the smileys, the old posts, the post counts, and last and most important the Sci-Fi forum (or maybe it should have been renamed the knurr forum, lol!).

Moderators please be aware I WILL keep bugging ya until we get that Sci-Fi forum back! :p

If you want your post count merged with your 3DHQ count then sign up here (http://www.ninjamicros.com/vbulletin/showthread.php3?s=&postid=94961). The old posts are being worked on and if you pop back over to 3DHQ you can indicate which posts you want migrating.

We're actually working on a new style set for the main forums, Fallguy. It will be uniform with Homepage design, and set as the forums 'default'. The old style will be saved and user selectable (for those diehard yellow fans :p), and this forum will remain 3DHQ style. But everyone will have the option to select their style preference from the user cpanel. You should see that in place over the next couple days.

You'll see some new forums added over the next couple days, some we're carrying over from 3D, and even a couple new ones. I'll check with the guys to see if Sci-Fi is on the list (and if not I'll give 'em an elbow ;))

I'll be working on merging the post counts tonight as well.

Heh,
you will notice a lack of photos of me anywhere on the net. This is mainly due to the unfortunate resemblance. Perhaps we should have a celebrity look alike competition??? Although I kinda think Data would win hands down..... ! :D

/Ian off to find a photo of Roy Orbison while firing up Paint Shop Pro :D

Fallguy

Damn me,
I have just been perusing the web for some photos of the big O. I came across some shots of when he was really young (at school), and the similarities between me and him are kinda scary! I always knew I looked a little bit like him, but most of the shots I saw were from the late 60's and early 70's, where he was a fair bit older than I am now.

This shot is probably the closest I have seen to me (minus the big hair, mind you!):
