Okay, kids. Get it out of your system now. Set up avatars, sigs, and the like, do all that "First Post" crap, etc. Tomorrow, I start modding with an iron fist.
Enjoy!
-
You waste no time.
Hi, I'm Jough. I own the server but I don't run the boards.
Address all complaints to Dictator-For-Life (tm) jldunston, your humble moderator/admin.
She controls both the vertical and the horizontal. Do not attempt to adjust your set.
-- Jough

Well that's me in.
Unpacking all my boxes and putting up my pictures...
Good to see it happening fast, and with that ruthless vigour that will hopefully keep it somewhat civil (that's you jld!).
Also I guess having it off site now (as it were) ought to keep it from growing much faster than the current populous. Of course, I've been known to be remarkably wrong.
Anyway no one's here yet so I'm going to go and shut up!
-and Jough, what the hell is that quote from? It's breaking my head trying to remember!
-
Good lord I only now got useed to posting at Dumbrella - oh well, I'll give it a shot, although I rarely have anything to say about Achewood.
also, Outer Limits?
-
Hell, who doesnt love registering?
-
Woo Hoo! I got me one them High Prestige, Oh so Low Member Numbers.
I'm shivering with excitement!
-
Damn IT! I forgot to log in first.
I am a mallet head.
-
I'm cold and scared
-
I am member# 007, apparently
you can touch me if you want
-
Hey JD, as mod can you assign us titles? That could be hella rad
-
But I'm scared of the number seven.
You know why?
Because 789.
Get it? Seven ate nine.
Heh.
-
There are no member numbers here kids.
Here you are all equally worthless (Full Metal Jacket reference).
And besides, I'm member #1.
Or am I? Maybe Jamie is.
Dang. Now I don't know.
-
No, Jough, you were definitely first.
I'm gonna play with the admin controls tomorrow. It's late (on the east coast), and I just got my ass kicked in Warcraft III. Hopefully the rest of the stragglers will stagger in tomorrow.
And then...my reign of terror will begin!
-
Yeh, titles. That'd be pretty spiffy.
I wanna be an Archduke. Or an Associate Vice-President for Logistical Operations Services. One or the other.
-
Ms. Moderator, you have a private message.
Yeah, titles are cool. I gave myself one because I HAVE THE POWER! But we definitely need some posting-heft titles, so that people can post useless twaddle and get their rank artificially inflated so that they get a better title.
It'll be great! :roll:
-
Yea... I'll be, Chief of Staff, or Lacky to Satan and all His superior minions of doom. Synonymous I know...
-
We have the first few ranks in place. Everybody's pretty much "Scrambles the Dog" at this point...except me & Jough. What's next? Well...wait and see.
If I wake up tomorrow and everybody's got 50 posts, you're all going to be in big trouble.
-
*sniiiiiiiiff*
Ah, that new messageboard smell!
-
Jough, thank you so much for setting this up. You've saved us all, and I promise to be good.
JLD, thank you so much for ruling over us with your iron fist. Your cruelty will no doubt be the coolest ever.
Now, this isn't meant to suck up, but I'm so excited I want to spread this goodwill! Now that Onstad's left and you've stepped up, what if we want to send you tokens of our esteem (booze, pies, and the like)?
-
-and Jough, what the hell is that quote from? It's breaking my head trying to remember!
Outer Limits.
Or were you referring to a different quote?
-- J.
-
hmm -- you think onstad wants a messageboard about his site to even exist?
-
Yes, yes, yessity, yes.
Mucho kudos to Jough and JL for their contributions and efforts.
Now all the rest of us have to commit to actually hanging out here and posting regularly.
And if you can't post regularly, perhaps you should eat more fiber. Or drink coffee. That usually works for me.
-

Not much he can do about it now. I think this is fantastic. Onstad is an awesome cartoonist, but a lousy messageboard moderator. Now he's free to make his comic in peace and we can talk about it without fear of annoying the boss. Much, much, much better arrangement I thinks.

I lurked for some time at the old board, and I found this whole move most unsettling, however, it has given me an opportunity to insinuate myself into the flock, so.... hello.
-
Hi everyone :)
I take no offense to not getting emails about offering my forum; really :D
just thought I'd throw that out there for the hell of it
This looks like a great new start so far.
-
JLD! JLD! JLD! JLD! *throws shoe at other audience member*
-
Hi andalucia,
No need to feel unsettled. Onstad just decided he'd had it after the negative reception to his new feature, the Variety Hour (a long thread he deleted this afternoon) and is calling it quits.
Since nature abhors a vaccuum; here we are.
And the nice thing about a new message board is that everyone is back to zero again! It's like... communism...
But about Achewood!
-
Should I feel proud of myself that I only scratched my head for 5 minutes after not finding the 'discuss' link before actually stumbling on this?
GENIUS I say! Huzzah to Jough and the Queen!!
That's all.
-
I read the old board fairly often, but I didn't really post.
Terrific. Glad to be here.
-
-and Jough, what the hell is that quote from? It's breaking my head trying to remember!
Outer Limits.
Or were you referring to a different quote?
-- J.
Aaaaaah, no that was the one! Thankyou!
When I saw it I just kept reading it over and over and it was kinda phasing in and out of nearly being remembered!
So long since I seen it you see, the beeb used to show it over here a good few years back, but they kinda dropped it, though I believe it's still somewhat going?!? Scary thought...
-
Now, this isn't meant to suck up, but I'm so excited I want to spread this goodwill! Now that Onstad's left and you've stepped up, what if we want to send you tokens of our esteem (booze, pies, and the like)?
E-mail me. I'm sure we can work something out. ;)

THEN IT SHALL BE SO.

I vote we use "Liebot's Ass" for trolls and flamers.
I bet it won't be long before Schabe has a title, he's the mod's pet . . .
-
Hello. I am interested to see how this all works out, considering that we've more or less eliminated 95% of the "hey, Chris, I want more of this" bullshit.
Will it work?!? Will it be a Love Boat or a Titanic?? Who will play Gopher? Who will be the King of the World? Only time will tell!!!!
(edit: HEY! WHOA! WHAT??)
-
Vinz: Likewise, e-mail me. I believe free Achewood merchandise would be most appropriate under the circumstances, no?
CortJstr: I have many pets. Maybe I'll assign a Teacher's Helper that changes every couple of weeks, just to screw with your heads and make you hate each other.
And then I'll send him out to clap erasers.
-
Also, this thread is over.
-
Hey noobs, drop by and say hi.
-
This is why we can't have nice things.
-
I wanna be an Archduke. Or an Associate Vice-President for Logistical Operations Services. One or the other.
And now 6 1/2 years later you finally have your title.
-
This thread makes me miss people.
-
Holy Crap! Zombi thread!
-
Now all the rest of us have to commit to actually hanging out here and posting regularly.
The jury is still out.
-
The jury is still out.
Ain't it the truth.
-
Is it bad that I apparently had a crush on this Schabe dude and six years later I don't even remember who he was?
Yikes. Enjoy me while I'm here, kids, 'cause I fear I'm but a few short paces from a poorly-decorated room at a second-rate home for the terminally confused.
-
poory-decorated
I hope that doesn't mean what it sounds like.
-
pope poory
-
all bag lady art and sad clown wallpaper, wall-to-wall shag cardboard
-
I'm quite certain I have no idea what you people are talking about.
-
I haven't gotten an alert for a thread here in ages.
It's nice to see you all again. I've been kinda... busy.
Some good stuff, some bad stuff, I guess it all equals out.
-
Jough, you old son of a bitch, how're you doing?
-
A tiny can of Dr. Pepper for an appropriately-Roast-Beef-esque return announcement.
-
My heart's explodin! JOUGH!
-
#7 observes the conversation of #3 and #6 and figures something worked out alright.
I think your numbers were off, but I guess all in all we did ok. We got solid contributions out of 11 of the first twenty members, and six of us still post here. Of course, with no strip anymore who knows what the future will hold.
-
It took me a week and a day to figure out something else came out of the Dumbrella collapse. I was so relieved to find this place. I was working at a call centre at the time and was so bored.
-
Toward the end of the old board my gf moved to Portland and I found out my mom had cancer. I didn't really know many people in (shudder) Wasilla. I was pleased that this board was started.
I wonder how long the Dumbrella messageboards have been down.
-
my favorite memory of the dumbrella days is after onstrade locked and wiped the forum we could still post polls and vote, he couldn't figure out how to turn that off.
-
I was looking through our archives and found a post of mine pointing to a thread there, and the next post was from R. Stevens indicating that he had vaporized the last remnants of the board.
-
So it's probably been 2-3 years since I've read the strip (regularly) so I guess I have some archives to go back and read.
It's funny, though - I did just pick up the second two Dark hoss books after seeing them recommended to me on Amazon as a "People who liked Let's Kill Uncle have also enjoyed Achewood" thing. So I bought them.
I don't mind forking over hard-earned money in exchange for entertainment value, Onstad has never owed me a thing, and even though I grew tired of what I considered repetitive work around the time I stopped reading, I'm still a little sorry to see it go and not be trodding-out sad recycled trope out of sad vomit joke.
If you held off on buying someone's wares just because they were a dick you'd never see a movie, hear an album, or read a goddamned book.
I miss you all. Well, not you. But everyone else.
-
Jough! We all miss you. Without exception.
Well, I dunno, maybe that one guy. But you know how he is.
I totally did a double-take on the date of this post. Are you coming back for real, or was this just a tease?
-

Now, now - don't get greedy.
(Also it is good to see ol' #1 around these parts.)

El Guapo!
El Guapo is a quadruped which lives in big rivers like the Amazon. He has two ears, a heart, a forehead, and a beak for eating honey. But he is provided with fins for swimming.
El Guapo is larger than frogs!
El Guapo is dangerous, so if you see him where people are swimming, you shout:
Look out, there's El Guapo!
-

Only if and when you have 15 minutes free.

Zing! Have a can.

Eh, I'm back in town to root through the stuff I left in the basement. Figured I'd clean up some stuff while I was here.
