Simple: When we first moved from iB to phpBB, Owen did an admirable job of importing the member data so nobody was left behind. Making me an admin again, however, required him to delete the old me and have me register again. I think that's how it went, anyway.

I've made one more addition to the memberlist: country flags now appear on it. They're even sortable. Unfortunately, "no country" is stored as NULL, which for some reason falls alphabetically under N rather than outside the normal alphabet. Thus there's a very large gap in the middle of the country sorting. I'll fix that when I know more about how this particular NULL is implemented.

I'm so jealous. I've often wanted to delete the old me. (Sounds like a "Doctor" episode of Voyager, actually. Maybe I'm an EMH and nobody told me.)

Just give RTD a call. He'll be able to write your way out of it for sure.

By the time the episode's through, you'll regret it...

Go to Kamino. Or Argolis. It's a lot cheaper.

In other news, nice stuff, Zeke!

[quote="Zeke"]All right, can this NOT turn into politics for no reason? quote]

I think we can all agree not to discuss real politics on the forum,and I am unanimous on that! Instead, we can discuss the it-just-won't-die eTrektion theme. :twisted:

And besides, most of us have LJ's where we can post our political rants and raves :twisted:

(note to those on LJ...I will now be sometimes using the LJ cut feature on my political rants, so if you're not into politics you don't have to even look at 'em)

I think the pretzels should stage a mass uprising against Bush Jr. Sure, there was that one suicide attacker, but evidently the Secret Service were prepared for the eventuality that a lone pretzel might attempt something like that. But if they were to attack en masse, then Bush would go down for sure, and I for one will welcome our new pretzel overlords!

(We're allowed to talk about pretzels, right?)

Pretzels aren't too bad. It's just that one or two percent are bad, and destroy the reputation of the entire group.

Yeah, well, I'm sure if the average Fed, Tom and Horatio had their way, they'd be booted out of the country. They're just trying to be pretzels, man! Why can't people see that?

New forum banner. It'll fit better when we have a black background again.

Well, it's just that I've been feeling like Enterprise is underexposed here lately. It's a huge part of the site.

And will be on topic again soon, IF YA KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

And I think you do.

Know what I mean, that is.

I really should go and catch up with the rest of Enterprise at some point. And Lost. And The 4400. And...

(The list goes on for a bit, as you might expect.)
