Life lesson: Always have something in your life other than Apterous in case it ever goes down.

Re: Is Apterous down?
I don't remember if he used the name, but certainly I became aware that such a thing existed, at the end of October 2010. This was because Jack Hurst went on a massive rant about Apterous and how cool it is... how you can play and hone your skills online, and that all the Series finalists from the last few years could be found playing there.Phil Collinge wrote: ↑Mon Oct 07, 2019 4:20 am Question then, has Apterous ever been mentioned by name on the show? And if so, when exactly.
Sounded too good to be true. Still is.
(I had to Google VERY deeply to find it, mind you... so either he didn't mention the name, or I didn't catch it.)

No, but I love saying no in this case because Apterous is not down for now!

Of course, I am only known on this forum as Gavin or Gevin. Anyone mentioning any other name is clearly acting in a terrible manner.L'oisleatch McGraw wrote: ↑Mon Oct 07, 2019 9:49 pmDo you remember Superman II when Clark Kent revealed himself as Superman to Lois Lane?Jason William Larsen wrote: ↑Mon Oct 07, 2019 9:15 pm I was trying to reprimand Toby, aka Gavin Chipper, for scolding Ronan.

Re: Is Apterous down?
re: names - forum posts are indexed by google. Many people would prefer that, if (for example) a future employer was googling them, nonsense posted on a forum did not show up as the top result.
Fine if you're called John Smith, but less so if you've got my name or Gev's, which are less common.
So if people do choose to use a forum alias, that should be respected and they should not be "outed" on the forum.

It's not in Hallowe'en mode any more so it's fixed in that sense. I assume that was the point.

Re: Is Apterous down?
Is the word list available anywhere online other than Lexplorer? All my other ducks are in a row as far as the recap is concerned.
I'm not dead yet. In a rut right now because of stress from work. I'll be back later in S89. I also plan to bring back the Mastergram - if I can find a way to run a timer or clock through pure MediaWiki without having to upload to Vimeo every time.

Yes, the database is running so slowly that it's very hard to log in. I will take a look but it might take a while to fix.
