New XKCD Forums

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

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

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.

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".

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

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.

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.

Thank you!

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

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

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!)

Congratulations on another decade.

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

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Merry Christmas Eve, Ryone!

Merry Christmas!

Happy Probably Not Jesus's Birthday!

Ring out, solstice bells

And now, Happy New Year!

Is the forum game subforum now 207̃013?

Wasn't the existing number a reference to something?

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

Is it a reference to something, and what to?
