Nah, back in the days when these names were getting snatched up right and left, Pat chose Trogdor the Burninator. I chose Homestarrunner. I'm at least as big a fan as Pat is. I'm advice for robots.

Now, now, you of all people should know where to find me, having sicked that six foot lizard on me... Posts: 3846 | Registered: Apr 2004

I was just talking to John in the chat room. He asked me to let you know that you haven't been banned from GreNME or anything. Definitely nothing silly like that. You just need to log in before you can post now. Posting without logging in no longer works.
He says the site pooped out on him and he just recently got it back up and running. Go to www.grenme.com and it will link to the forum.

I tried to log into GreNME, apparently the password I remember isn't the right one. I went through my options, including the "click here for forgotten password" link, and the resulting e-mail doesn't work.
It's good to know, though. Heaven only knows what my password for that place is. I think I've forgotten the one for sakeriver at least twice. I usually use the same password for everything, but since that would be giving grenme and sake my password for Hatrack, I didn't want to. Therein lay my fatal error.
Come to think of it, this happened at PWeb once as well.
*scribbles John, how come the links on the automated e-mails don't work? I totally want to come and play. Love, Katie on a piece of paper* *folds note into into a swan*

Alas, he left the chat room. I only chanced on him there, and I don't know how to get ahold of him otherwise. But he has been reading this thread.

It's usually a bad idea to use the same password. If someone get's into one account and knows your password, then they know all your passwords.

I thought it was an X-files thing, too. You know, the liver-eating mutant who could sqeeze through small spaces? I think the episode was called 'Squeeze' or something. They had the same guy in another episode, later.
I still sometimes wonder what's REALLY under the escalators at the mall...
Seriously, Ela, Hobbes warned us that someone had stolen someone's ID at the start of the last mafia game so I changed my password over there.

Just for your peace of mind, Katie, I don't think that the sakeriver user database is any less secure than the Hatrack database, so really the only person you have to worry about getting your password from sakeriver is me, and I wouldn't ever do that. But even if I were so inclined, the passwords are encrypted, so I couldn't get it anyway.

Ah. My ignorance of forum technology is exposed.
What's more embarassing is that I signed up on Hatrack as just about the first thing I ever signed up for on the interenet, and I had no idea I could change my password until it was well-drilled into my head. So the password is one of those funky combinations of letters and numbers that means nothing.

I don't know what damn use this is, since I've mainly just been lurking for months now, but this calls for a DB strike. Any place that embraces Cedrios over John is a place I need to stay the hell away from. So, for now, I'll be seeing you guys.

Of COURSE you'll see him at GreNME. GreNME is the forum for people who really, really dislike Cedrios and want to talk about how Hatrack isn't what it used to be.
(In all seriousness, I know John does his best to suppress exactly that phenomenon -- for which I respect him a great deal, BTW. That his forum still frequently functions as a place where Hatrackers can be snarky about other Hatrackers without having to post it here is despite his best efforts, and I think will eventually change.)

Well, no, actually, GreNME is a place where I can have the largest number of posts. That's its only purpose.

Careful with the persecution complex, Tom. I haven't seen Grenme function as a gossip catalyst -- on the whole, members there would be equally willing to voice their complaints on Hatrack as they would be on Grenme, regardless of the subject matter.
Of course there are the occasional exceptions -- my one and only, to my recollection, would be my gripe about how Pete of Ornery annoyed the hell out of me; but I told him as much to his face -- but that hardly makes gossip or snarkism a defining or memorable quality of Grenme.
