The original, Old Forums' Off Topic Forum ends on November 23rd.  They are now expected to move themselves here. 

Just thought it migh be an interesting datum to consider!

Yeah, it sucks. I was hoping that would be one of the last closures, 'cause this place sure ain't ready for prime-time yet.

You mean now I have to hang around all these new, weird people here?

And especially while the font size needs to be a bit bigger...

Can't you adjust the font size with your browser?  What resolution are you using?

One size up in Firefox makes it slightly too big. :P

On the other hand, maybe not. The bar at the top seems to have been altered, it sits where it should when I up the font size now...

There's just no pleasing some people.

I am sad about the BioOT's closing. That place served me for a good 5+ years, come rain come shine. This place doesn't quite have the same feel to it, mostly because of the absence of many familiar faces (at least for now). Also, readability is a PITA (not because of the font, but the gray background; it would be nice to be able to customize that, as with other forums on the Net) and is a bit of a discouragement towards posting.

BioOT is hardly prime time.

It's like the 2am runs of the David Letterman Show we get here.

On the contrary, I think the site is pretty good but needs some font size and colour improvements. It's easier to read on the original website, so I'm hoping that's what this one will end up copying.

I can throw a fish at you, would that help?

We should pool our resources for world domination.

But you're not biased at all, are you? Image IPB   Smileys are certainly easier here.

Somehow, that line reminded me of a forum a long time ago, at which one of the denizens would pop up from time to time and offer "here's a fishy stick for you", or something similar to that!  It was like an atta-boy . .

Somehow, the idea of a forumite chasing after a thrown fish is... weird. The ones I throw are all aimed at the person, not away from them. :D

The way I recall, it was a cooked (fried, probably) length of fish on a stick, awarded as a prize.  I presume these thrown ones are either frozen solid to cause injury, or going bad / odorous from not being refrigerated?

And not frozen. If I wanted to inflict that much damage, I'd just use a doorstop. Or a dictionary.

Way to go. :P What do you want them to think of us? :lol:

I am emotionally wounded. Deeply, I think. What a curious sensation.
