The Plot Thickens!!!

Ponch · Fri 30/09/2011 21:37:06

Well, another weekend is upon us. Will the forums stay up this weekend? Or, like last weekend, are we in for another forum-less few days, filled with weeping and gnashing of teeth?

Did the powers that be ever release an official story about what happened? I'd search for it, but the search function doesn't seem to work anymore.

Was it the Illuminati? Or the Freemasons? Was Scientology? Or were the forces of Anonymous behind our terrible suffering? And who stole our search function? Was it ninjas? Who keeps stealing our functionality? And what happened to all that effort that went into redesigning the front page? Why did that never come to pass?

I think we can all agree that every one us of is on the verge of panic as, minute by minute, the weekend draws nearer and the specter of uncertainty and lack of forum access looms large over our incredibly important corner of the web.

Is there anything we can do to help, to prevent this sort of thing from happening again? Why, if only there were some group of dedicated AGSers working behind the scenes, outside the law if necessary (like Batman!

), to do what they can to make the AGS forums (and by extension, the entire world) a better, safer, more stable place.

The sort of place where you can leave your doors unlocked at night; where everyone knows their neighbor; where pooper scooper laws are enforced under pain of death; where children can play in traffic without consequence; and where search functions always work, RON games experience a renaissance, and the forums never go down.

I want to believe in such a world, AGS Community! And I know you do too!

But what is to be done? ... And by whom? (Dramatic music)

I guess all we can do is keep our fingers crossed and hope that a secret group of AGS superstars are working towards this better tomorrow.

I'm pretty sure it's 90% ready. I asked the Lord of the ring what is happening with the new website at Mittens. And he agreed it would be good to get it up and rolling. If I remember correctly - this was during a pub visit - he said there was only one major thing holding it back like connecting the DB to it or something. However, I may be recalling things that were never said, courtesy of alcohol. Presumably Darth would need to finish up some stuff on it. It's already in some Google searches... so I agree, it'd be good to finally get it live

If only! Those people would surely be exactly like Batman if they were to do such a thing!

Ghost · Fri 30/09/2011 23:51:37

Golly! I hope these dedicated superstars all have their Anti-AGS-Deprived-Weekend-Desperation-Spray-Counterspray-Guns* at the ready!

*It makes sense, just read it again!

Side Note: Ponch, how come we never see Page 3 of "AGS Today?"

Grundislav · Fri 30/09/2011 23:55:20

All this talk of Batman makes me remember how much I miss wearing tight leather pants.

Er...I mean...

Yeah, that sure would be fantastic if something like that happened! Yes sir!

Ponch · Sat 01/10/2011 00:06:24

I know, right? Everybody loves Batman! And tight leather pants!

Let's all just hope that something exciting and sexy (very sexy!) is going on behind the scenes, in the hidden recesses of the AGS forums.

And I can only assume we never see page 3 of AGS Today because the mods don't like booobies. Boo, mods! BOO!

Wait, I think I see someone in the sky!

Is that Grundislav?

Igor Hardy · Sat 01/10/2011 00:51:54

You guys creep me out with your spontaneous outburst of faith in humanity! :o

Don't be so cynical and jaded, Ascovel! I believe in the goodness (and sexiness) of the AGS Community! Why, even now there may be benevolent (and sexy) forces at work, doing what they can to make these forums a safer, more stable, more search function enabled place to be (while wearing leather pants, if you're into that sort of thing). No one can know for sure, of course. But I expect we'll hear more from this noble, sexy group soon enough. 8)

Boobies make everything better. Just ask anyone with a degree in advertising!

(Also: Dammit, why didn't someone tell me I had a typo in the title of the thread!

Oh hush. You're just jealous that there's a Ponch Signal but no Snake Signal. 8)

Now back to the matter at hand, Snake! What are your snake-y feelings regarding the completely unsubstantiated rumors about a group of self-styled, possibly leather pants wearing, undoubtedly incredibly sexy AGS superstars and their secret schemes regarding the future of the AGS forums. Personally, I think there's nothing to these rumors, but that won't stop me from starting rumors about it.

Ghost · Sat 01/10/2011 10:05:02

Newsflash! Newsflash!

"A possible outbreak of non-bearable AGSnessless was twarthed by a mysterious man wearing leather pants over his head. When a rookie maintenance man was in danger of falling asleep at duty, said mysterious man mysteriously appeared out of a mysterious, very sexy-smelling cloud (possibly perfume), and placed a blue cup in front of him, with a sound that could best be described as "OOOOoommpff-Kablow!", and then disappeared.
The cup was later reported to contain coffee so good that the rookie himself was transformed into an Almighty Janitor."

And now the weather. Bob?

Frodo · Sat 01/10/2011 10:09:37

*wanders in*

*sits down*

*looks around*

What on earth have I walked into? And what's more... will I make it out alive?

*scratches head*

Tabata · Sat 01/10/2011 10:36:50

I want to believe in this, but they possibly won't to be seen until the good deed has been fullfilled.
Whoever it is, already has a big wishlist from all the members -

To the group of dedicated AGSers working behind the scene aka â€žleatherwearing underground superstarsâ€œ:
Please don't forget the gender-symbol underneath the avatars and the option to jump to the last post of every thread (not only the last one that was postet in the section)

Oh and did I mention, that I like this thread, too?

Now waiting for Bob with the weather

I'm so confused...
