Here's how testy and the forum looked 5 years ago -

Notice the postcount under the name, aah memories! And it was just called 'testy' then. I had that Monty Python signature quote for years before the screenshots took over. [sniff] :)

Hey i remember when you came from Sol 3 in the alpha quadrent, aka Earth. Now you live in a place called Lon-Don Ean-grand. I have no idea what planet that is!
I kinda miss when the forum looked like that. :frowning:

Damn newbie! er not you Russle, some guy on a posting spree, probably getting the posts he wants so he can post a link than he'll disappear like they all do.
Hey I don't patrol the forum, come to think of it there's only 3 or 4 areas I enter out of... how many? 20? Shameful I know, but TV stuff I'm not that keen on. The cartoon section is really for youngsters and Russell Grant and the porn areas... well they've banned me from ever entering the place again. I'm only really interested in movies. :P

there's a cartoon section?
I check out the software for tv and movies, then here, then maybe after hours. Once a week I'll peruse music, but it's all hippies.

Actually it might have been nice if the movie and dvd areas were divided into smaller sections like - sci-fi-fantasy, horror, classic Hollywood, modern blockbusters, animation, comics etc or even subheadings like - Star Trek, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, James Bond... I think it would make the HTF even more popular, but they'll need more moderators, mods like Russell for comics of course, Chris for manga anime, Steve for Bond, James Bond and Rick for Star Trek... ;)

That's the worst idea ever! Can you imagine the arguments on what film belongs where?
"Psycho is a suspense film!"
"No it's a classic"
"No! It's a horror film!"
"No! It's not scary enough to be a horror!"
"screw you, it scared me! Horror!"
"To hell with both of you! It's like 50 years old, it's a classic!"
They should how ever create a nerd section with the following headings:
"I'll wait for HD/Blu-ray"
"Everything Star Wars" (LOTR, Star Trek)
"I Collect Movie Trailers!"
etc. ;)
And I don't think I could be a mod. I'm a mod on another site and can barely resist the urge to twist what everybody posts. :P

:D You're right, especially about Psycho, is it horror or suspense, it's both! And it's a classic movie too, where does it go? Which area? I don't care! [bites fist]
I like the idea of a movie trailers area though, "I've got Cutie Honey trailer b anyone want a swap?", "Me me! I have Hanzo v Zatoichi, both played by the same actor!", "Deal!" :P

:laugh: Whaaat? So if you were moderator here I'd probably be banned for that? [belch] I remember when I mixed up comics greats Frank Moore and Alan Miller, you threw a hissy fit then. I'm only human damn you! :P

So....Adam and Eve are playing around in the Garden of Eden and swimming in the near by lake. God shows up and is rather perturbed at Eve and says "Now how I supposed to get that smell out of the fish?"

Oh....I'm a Lumberjack and I don't care.

Everybody now....

ha ha, nice jokes. :P
And my hissy fits are entertaining :D
What's brown and sounds like a bell? DUUUUNNNNG!
My problem with being a mod on the other site is I'm only allowed to delete troll spam threads for porn sites and such. So when I see a user say something particularly retarded like "N***ers should be killed" I go ape poop and want to delete and twist their stuff around to show how stupid they are. But I'm not allowed to or I could get purged, so I just report it to the actual owners of the site. that site is wide open, anythign goes as far as discussion. 99% of the members are pretty responsible, so it's usually all right. Theres alway one attention seeking feeb who I want to blow out of there.
I think some people take for granted how well run the good ol' HTF is.

An Italian, an Irishman and a Chinese fellow are hired at a construction site.
The foreman points out a huge pile of sand and says to the Italian guy, “You’re in charge of sweeping.”
He then jabs a thin finger at the Irishman, “You’re in charge of digging.”
Finally, he turns to the Chinaman, “And you’re in charge of supplies.
Now, I have to leave for a little while. I expect you guys to make a dent in that pile.”
Two hours later, the foreman returns to find the pile of sand untouched, and the Italian and Irishman standing nearby. “Why didn’t you touch it?” he says.
The Italian looks at him. “We didn’t have a broom or shovel. You said the Chinese guy was in charge of supplies, but he disappeared and we couldn’t find him.”
Annoyed, the foreman storms off to find the errant Oriental.
Just then, the Chinaman leaps from behind the sand. “Supplies!” he yells.

An Irishman, an Englishman, a German and a Frenchman enter this pub at around 8:00 o'clock in the evening.

Says the bartender: "Hey wait as minute! What is this? A joke or something?"
