On the bottom it says that the site is copyrighted by Hatrack River, there's a forum that scarily resembles ours...is this another OSC article and why can't I find an author listed??

Why is it that I've already read this...?
Posted by eslaine (Member # 5433) on :
A forum with 9 topics and 18 Posts.
Oddly enough a couple of the threads concern OSC.
49 members.
Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :
BUT!! They can have signatures on that forum!
I'm guessing that it's connected to OSC somehow, but I can't figure out how. Maybe we should hijack the forum!

iiiiiiiiiitty bitty website.......
Posted by A Rat Named Dog (Member # 699) on :
It's not OSC. It's a giant mystery
Posted by Tristan (Member # 1670) on :
An explanation could be that the creator of that site stole some of hatrack's source code when he built the site, and then either stupidly or for acknowledgement reasons omitted to take out the Hatrack copyright notice.
Posted by Tristan (Member # 1670) on :
Err... Or the mystery creator might have gotten the source code with permission...
Posted by ana kata (Member # 5666) on :
There are tons of UBB forums. Hatrack is not alone in that. But there is definitely more connection than that, isn't there? I think I remember reading about it somewhere on this site, sometime long ago. But I can't remember who or what it's about. <laughs> Will someone please clear up the mystery?
Posted by FlyingCow (Member # 2150) on :
Well, seeing as how there's a link to that site on the Hatrack homepage, I'm guessing it's authorized.
Way back when, the link was there too... I remember linking to that site from hatrack over a year ago. I still don't know who runs it, or who writes it, but it's been affiliated with OSC for some time, it seems.

I worry about a site run by someone who thinks the epitome of witty banter is an episode of Friends .
Sad sad sad.

The discussion of Meryl Streep in the "All about Eve" column would suggest that it is NOT OSC. Well I registered. Check out LOTR: What would you do different

Geoff...you know! Come on, 'fess up! We're all wondering here!!! I thought of Emily. ??? Possible?
Posted by Black Mage (Member # 5800) on :
We shouldn't register there. None of us.
I mean, inflicting smilies, hugs, and dobies on unsuspecting web surfers. . .
Posted by Eruve Nandiriel (Member # 5677) on :
Posted by Kayla (Member # 2403) on :
Could be Emily, Kristine, or maybe even Kathy Kidd.
And why wouldn't y'all register? Surely the people that are associated closely enough to OSC to do that would be good people. Huh?
Posted by Storm Saxon (Member # 3101) on :
Go Daddy is owned by someone named Bob Parsons....
Posted by Zevlag (Member # 1405) on :
Hmm, I registered there back in May 2001....
Definitely related to our gracious host.
Posted by Black Mage (Member # 5800) on :
I don't want Hatrackers to register 'cause it would be like some folks in a tiny village just got a city built around them. A smiling, hugging, dobie-ing village.

At the signing (yes, the one that I was at ) He named it along with Ornery and a few others as other sites that he ran.

But who writes the stuff??
My guess is Kathy. It seemed like her zingy style.
