Creating a new one of these, because I've just noticed the old one got put in the archive, and is therefore not usable.

Old One

One of the reasons TQZ was picked as a title was to make this clearer.
And I still like the Quiet Zone. I already call it 'The Zone' in my head.
I suggest we all take a day or two just to get used to it?

LOL, I see that worked.

I hadn't seen that thread and a lot of those names in a LONG time. Brings back memories

Eh it also makes me remember a job I did where I had to get a train each day. I used to sit in the quiet carriage where no mobile phones are allowed - aka 'The Quiet Zone'.

It's pretty funny reading posts with El D, [censored], BluffThis!, Dids, Sniper etc etc

What the hell ever happened to Sniper!

Back when we barely all just got along - This must have been before the real big blow-up, and long before EDF

I'd also forgotten our B1, B2, B3 tempbanning policy, where each tempban would be at least one day longer than the last, to try and ensure a positive reinforcement to bad posters.

We never got enough idiots to really use it much tho.

DB,

Can I get an undertitle since you change yours daily. I wish I was around during the OOT/TQZ split.

you have to ask Ryan Beal I'm afraid, mods are not able to any more (the worst thing about the software upgrade).

I wish we could - it's a useful little pleasure that helps build community.

Okay question #2. How do I go about ascending to the throne of modship? I think I would look better in green.

post well, be involved in teh forum you're interested in, and make it known to the mods you're interested.

Public canvassing is not a good idea (I don't mean this particular question, but in general).

*fingers crossed* but almost certainly won't happen due to the title I requested.

I was one of the first to have an undertitle. Oddly, I never had one during the old software.

The way cwar became mod in the HU forum was that he created a thread title: "MAKE ME A MOD!" At the time, we were modless, and small enough it didn't matter. He didn't want to ask Matt to do it, so I sent the friggin' recomendation. cwar also had an undertitle before me: Manhandler.

Hehe, that was such a drama bomb. I haven't been in HU for a whiile, has there been any more HU4ROLLZ posts? If you want to know, I haven't been playing any poker for the last few months, but I plan to change that soon.

If the Lounge was a tree, what kind of tree would it be?

What was the lounge called before it was changed into "The Lounge; Discussion & Review"

I ask this because I read an old thread that made it seem like it was changed to this name as a tl;dr pun.

Remember when e.d. wanted to call it The Salon? I thought that sounded a little like a hair styling place myself.
