One of the forums did a thing last year, around a mod being told he was **** by everyone. Backfired quite a bit, when lots of people came in giving out about the same mod, who weren't in on it.

Apple's "co-founder" comes out of the woods!

Apple has just turned 40 years old - a timely reason to track down a man who helped start the firm and then walked away.
Drive out of Las Vegas for an hour into the Nevada desert. When you reach what feels like the end of civilization, carry on. That's where you'll find Pahrump.
And it's in Pahrump where you'll find the co-founder of the most valuable, perhaps most powerful company, on Earth.

Two investigations have been launched after reports faulty microchips are causing dogs in Ireland to reduce in size.

From today, all dogs are required by law to be both microchipped and registered on an authorised database.

I don't believe it, I thought someone was having a joke. Somehow the dot that is green that shows you online turned to red, so it was just a simple privacy mode switch that happened, strange as I never changed it to invisible. sorry about that all sorted now.

I think a mod did that for a joke on you. Maybe in a few hours they'll relent and you'll be visible to us again.
