Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 140: The Brave Days of Old

Just got back from the dentist. Went relatively well.

I have tomorrow off as well, which is now the second year in a row I get the day of the Cities 97 sampler release off. :D

To those out east...Cities 97 is a radio station here in the Twin Cities. They put out a sampler CD every November. We get longer lines than we do for Black Friday.

Go to the library and get a book! They do have a library at that school, don't they?

Of course. I don't have a card for the school. So I'll just find a way to kill the last hour and half :)

I just had a thought. I am being paid to be a warm body today.

Are you one of the suckers that wanted to work 1145 to 8 am? I said no way. Working 8 to 430 instead.

And I'm out. Was priming up a very special Bale for Scarlet, but I'm out of reps. Its still the 20 reps in 24 hours limit right??

It's 15 Reps in 24 hours. Ed T changed it to 15 Reps in 18 hours, but it reverted to 24 hours when the board was "upgraded". The 20 is how many Reps you must give before you can give one to the same person again.

You have no idea! If you could see post 588 of the thread entitled "Pssst! Hey Buddy, got rep?" from summer 2007 your head would explode. RFAlph explained the formula for how many rep points one distributes when giving rep. Of course, tBaer did always smell like math!

Does anyone know if we can still view those old threads?

11:00-7:30 Split between GSTL and C/O. Of the two of us that can work that particular shift, I work much faster, am more efficient, and can handle the increased workload that is going to happen in the early hours. She's new, and normal weekends it can get too much for her.

Plus, I'm a night person, and just staying up for that isn't going to be that difficult.

It all went poof for reasons unknown. Since Board didn't even save the HoF threads which it had declared save-worthy, they certainly didn't bother with these threads. I do think that some of the Repping threads were worth saving, but they probably would only have seemed important to those of us who were here in the summer of 2007.

I want to say it was aparch, but it definitely was a Lodge member did find most of the material from the HoF thread about 9/11 and saved it somewhere. IMO, that was the most poignant thread on USCHO, and it had zero to do with hockey. I really wish that Board would have informed us of the purge in advance. I also would have personally saved the thread about the fight to continue to allow D-III schools playing up to give athletic scholarships.

Speaking of things that seem important only to a few, here's Rep Thread Summary #2 of 13, dated 5 June 2007, from the
No Pics, No HTML thread (post 385):

Ralph started this new poll off with a really bad choice of rep levels.

“News” = North + East + West + South

Almington morphed into a sad panda.

I joined the rep-spreadsheet wing of the Centurions, while some (e.g. ARM) are resisting the urge, and others (e.g. wolverineTrumpet) are close to joining the dark side.

con1977 is throwing monkey poo all over, wolverineTrumpet gave double-header (138) rep to a lot of people she really doesn’t know, and gmann is giving beaver rep.

200 is the new 100.

# + ### + # + 1 = ### !!!

Exit 69 on I-75 in Troy, Michigan is labeled “Big Beaver Road.”

Lots of people will hit lots of other people tomorrow when their rep guns reload.

A Shot and a Goal speaks French (post #134).

Large bears can pose a danger to wolverines.

Elmo and Dilbert are both angry, and, in Dilbert’s case, gay too (or maybe he’s just a tranny).

pro1disp showed up late again (#225), but didn’t ask what he missed this time. Never ask what you missed (see post #264).

Enema-induced fecal evacuation could choke an elephant.

Those who rep UMDBulldogHockeyIsKing will get their just desevrings.

Lots of people drank beer Friday night while I worked.

erin, hockeybando, leswp1, Quizmire, and wolverineTrumpet are smoking hot chicks.

People who don't matter enjoy DMB's music.

Post 363 caused heads to hurt. (A Shot and a Goal: I took the liberty of speaking for everyone else on this one!)

Lots of people drank beer Saturday night while I worked on this summary.

The greatest thread ever was the first #26 Onion Vs. St, Clooud series thread. Is that one recent enough to still be around?

Uhh, no. MEg Has A Bump On Her Head. Back from the days when you were not allowed to use the Backspace key if your BAC was above .08.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 140: The Brave Days of Old

So I'm looking at getting a big screen tv for black friday/cyber monday. Trying to choose between 46 and 55 inch, likely going LED, but trying to figure out if 3D is worth the extra price or not. Anybody else have experience with 3D and LED? What are your thoughts about it?
