Fleeting thoughts

I think it was removed when "What if" was added (and after that it was still on the "About" page).

[ratammer]

IIRC, it was still on the "About" page for quite a while after it went down.

[commodorejohn]

It was; it was only within the last few months that it was removed for real.

I discovered xkcd sometime before comic 1000 came out. I found the forum but didn't join or spend too much time on it. When Time came out, I missed the significance of it and didn't really discover what Time truly was until a few months later when I was clicking random on xkcd and it came up and discovered Time being different than I remembered, so I went back to the forum and discovered the masterpiece that Time was and that's when I joined the forum as a silent spectator. Then eventually became active in Forum Games.

It was a long time ago, but if I remember right I first came across the forum through an unrelated google search, but didn't pay much attention to it until explainxkcd was down on the day Time came out and I had to go there to find out what was going on with that comic.

[ratammer]

I was active on the forum before Time came out - in fact, Time roughly coincides with the first time I stopped using the forum as much, IIRC. I posted in there a couple of times but never really got into it.

From the makers of "every 4-panel comic is loss", we bring you "every 6-digit number is a hentai link".

[Zarq]

I don't understand that one. Is it like linking to that one shady pornsite by referring to a 6 (?) character alphanumeric string?

[Sabrar]

I am unable to reply to pm-s or post in the Games section. Do I have to have a minimum number of posts here? I seem to recall that was the case on the old xkcd site.

[The Snide Sniper]

Yes, you need at least one post elsewhere before you can send private messages or post in Forum Games. You should be good to go now.

[Sabrar]

Thank you!

It's gone midnight here - I'm officially 30

[commodorejohn]

Gosh, I remember 30 - six years ago today :o

[chridd]

I remember 30 like it was just last year.

(How am I already this old‽ I'm still not ready to be a post-teenager!)

[LingEarth]

Congratulations on another decade.

[moody7277]

30 was fun. I was at a conference the week before my 30th birthday, in Santorini no less.

[ratammer]

Merry Christmas, everyone!

[chridd]

Merry Christmas Eve, Ryone!

[The Snide Sniper]

Merry Christmas!

[commodorejohn]

Happy Probably Not Jesus's Birthday!

[somitomi]

Ring out, solstice bells

[ratammer]

And now, Happy New Year!

[chridd]

Is the forum game subforum now 207̃013?

[ratammer]

Wasn't the existing number a reference to something?

[chridd]

I don't know. I would guess so, but I don't know what.

Is it a reference to something, and what to?
