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!

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.

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...

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!!

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

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.

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.
