TFP Conspiracy
 

So it's finally back and I've been thinking as to just what could have happened.. (halx and the rest, you guys worked hard to get this place back...)

speculation on the crazy paranoid side.. here's what I came up with...

• maybe halx wanted me to send in more than the US$20 pledge i made for when I get a job...
  
  halx was pissed off at me because i bumped him from the top 10 posters list...
  
  halx didn't want to purge all the lamers and deadbeats...
  

thanks again Halx!

that certainly is crazy and paranoid :)

Um, OK then. Let me get my tinfoil hat. :-)

wow. You're insane. Welcome to the club! :p

Unlikely scenario #4:
<b>Halx</b>'s life was progressing so perfectly that he needed to subject himself to a year's worth of stress in one weekend.

It happened at the same time last year--the entire database totally wiped out.

I'm already planning ahead for next April. ;)

My cat used his mind rays to take out the hard drives. See, he gets upset when I spend to much time on the computer when I could be watching him shed. Man, those were some good times, good times. But then the TFP came, and our lives were shattered.

Ultimately Ben had no choice but to take the board down. Since then he and I have communicated telepathically, and he promises not to let it happen again.

That is, as long as I keep him in Tuna Flavored Kitty Treats. None of that whitefish crap.

Again, he will refrain from using his mind ray.
All is safe and sound. Please continue posting.

april ... hmmmm ... could it be an IRS conspiracy?

Same day?.........must be a sore TFP user who got banned.......who else would want to hurt this site?

Correction, Forum.

I think that about sums it up.

Your right BoCo. I think almost right to the day because we rejoined on the 15 of April last year. You can tell the difference a year makes though -- look how many members have joined back this year on the first day (as of 4:00pm - 2040 members). Sure as hell was like that last year. Our TFP is getting all growned up...

:D :cool: :D

I hear "black helicopters" circling.... Heh... :D

I think you guys have waaay too much time to think about these things :)

i think the fact that you knocked hal out of the top ten is the real reason. i mean, no ones gonna topple him now!

haha

no seriously, thats quite paranoid cyn, but maybe the real reason is that i hadn't donated then either...

I think Cigarette Smoking Man knows the answer. So does Mulder. You just need to go to the pueblo and ask him.

The Iraqi Information Minister has just announced that the TFP did NOT go down last week, this is really STILL v3.0, and we should ignore the man behind the curtain.

As I mentioned in the other post and I'm sure this is the correct answer: OBL, Saddam and the Taliban. They hate their way of life and can't stand us for having TFP!!

Glad

Sad. #3 almost seems like a valid reason to me.
But, I'm not Hal.

/tinfoil hat

a huge air burst electro-magneto device the US government was trying out.

I found the TFP last spring, just after version 3 was started. I wondered why everyone kept talking about the "old board"

It is just a test to see how many people will change their names or steal someone else's name.

:cool: I think it was Terrorists.

Uh oh, maybe it was terrorist psychic cats... we should get ready and do a preemptive strike before they can get us again next april! ;)

nope all wrong.

See we have had the TFP up all this time we just decided to block all of you and tell you the HD's died.

So to cover our tracks we wipped the database and didn't let hal sleep so he appears exhausted. :D

You go away for a week or so and you've been booted. What a let down. Thank the Gods they didn't change the URL.

;-)

um, yeah, i secretly snuck into the server room and slapped on a few pounds of C-4 to the server and blew it up :D

He wanted some time away from the TFP to work on Autumn Austin's website and get to know her ... more personally.

I think it was that beautiful young naked women at Halx's keyboard and she spilled some liquid on the puter.

Watch out or else Patrick Stewart will kidnap you and drug you silly!!


Wow, that was a bad movie reference. I am genuinely sorry.

I think it was those damn shifty garden gnomes. Can't trust them one bit, nope. Them and the weasels.

Its sesame street... theyre out to fuck things all up... Big Bird and that creepy bald guy were out to make things all FUBAR in the TFP's neighborhood... all this happened naturally after they offed poor Mr. Rogers and cooked and ate Lambchop.

interesting theory...

Aliens, we all know it but no one wants to admit it for fear of retribution.

Well Grulflon and his evil hordes don't scare me. They will never rule my planet, never I tell you.

I am presently secretly constructing a program to protect the servers from their electro-magnetic beams.

Stay alert!

Hey it wouldn't be the TFP if there wasn't a few days of desperate anxiety every once and a while wondering if it'll come back up again.
