When I click your profile it specifically says November 04, 2007, 01:38:39 AM.

Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

EDIT : It says underneath local time is 3 - 06 - 2017 so I guess I registered on November 3rd.


A little while for me yet.

I just thought of something. Did we recently miss the 10th anniversary of DTF? Maybe it got mentioned and I forgot, or maybe I'm just stupid. Or all of the above.

Holy carp.  You're right - of course, referring to the re-launch?  Your profile says you registered on June 3rd, 2007... but Bosk and Hef registered on May 18th.

Well, a belated happy anniversary.

Yeah, I registered a little bit later than the main regulars, probably due to not having permanent internet at the time.
But am I right that nobody else has brought it up? Because that seems pretty significant!

I think you be right.  I blame Vlasto.

@ Kotow... it's November 3rd.  When you sort the member list by date registered, there's a shit-ton on 2007-05-18.  Not sure what the 18th month is, so it's yyyy-mm-dd.

Kotow, did you just take time to join the new forum, or were you not on the older forums?

I still remember the day of the split...and all the drama leading up to it. Damn it's been a long time. And yes it was May that this board started.

In fact, I'm coming up on my 17th board-versary going back to the origins of Under a Cyber Moon.

I wasn't too active around the split, but I sure remember the crash - which I believe May 18th was the re-launch date.  I don't go back quite that far... I started at DT.net, about 6 months before the split

G'morning all.

I'm probably a little bit past my thirteen year boardiversary, I joined dt.net at some point in the run up to seeing them in MSG on the Train of Thought tour. I remember when we got kicked off the official site, and very vaguely the drama around the 5/8 split. Is that board still fairly active? I know they had a pretty engaged user base from when the split happened, but I imagine it's hard to get new members as a fairly random music board.

So the shit is hitting the fan at work.





Can't go into detail, but there is a chance that my company may lose the account I work.

Due to negligance on the part of my supervisor as well as several employees.

The client is on a war path, and best case scenario I can see is we keep the account and they force my supervisor out and push for me.

Not sure if that is something I want.  All I know is I am spending the weekend playing damage control, and I keep finding more and more shit that has to be dealt with in regards to this.


I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

If you were to move to a supervisor role I assume there would be more pay too?

Yes.

Is his supervisor pay worth the work?

I don't think so.

I am already doing 80% of the supervisor work anyways. So it would be better than nothing. lol

Would you be in charge of hiring if you were a supervisor?

I believe so.

At least walk ins.

Like... the company wants to keep control of online apps (through our website, Craigslist, etc). So we can only really take what they throw at us.

It may be worth considering taking the position because I have seen a lot of comments about the employees being shit at your job. If you have some ability to staff it you could build a stronger staff.

Hey Reap.

40% done animating (and maybe about 5% done rendering). I'd probably be done by now if I wasn't a lazy shit. :blob:

I'm far too lazy a shit to animate me as a lazy shit, even though so little work would be required to copy my lack of movement. :lol
