Ok, so a few changes here.

First, you may have noticed the new "Random Chatter" forum. What seperates this from the General Discussion forum you're reading now? Well, the General Discussion forum is supposed to be uH related and it's started to veer wildly off that track. I assume much of the responsibility for that one. Anyways, the new Random Chatter forum exists for any non-uH discussion.

Second, the uH General Discussion and Random Chatter forums are no longer being moderated by the uH members. There was this whole thing about whose name got listed first and who got what parking place and who ate whose deli tray. It was horrible. So we've stripped everyone of their positions of gluttonous power and handed over the reigns to the mighty Hetta, who will be deleting random posts with glee.

And Lastly, there's an actual User Guide in the General Discussion forum. We haven't really had any problems, but that's there just in case. We can always point at it later and say "See?! I told you we were allowed to wear poultry!!"

I like it! Well-written and without the lingering scent of authoritarianism that make a lot of rulesets seem stricter than they are.

One question, though: why does JIM seem to be the only one with red pips? The other authors usually sport yellow ones, at least from here.

Andrew "NO .SIG MAN" "Juan" Perron, it is against Ape Law!

Right, check the guide again.

TA and I have yellow pips cause we screw with the coding of the forums, so any technical problems you have with it should be directed at us.

Ken and JIM both have red pips cause they're authors.

Ahhhhh, I see. So forum administrator comes before author, in this case- makes sense, since as you said, you'll need to know who to go to when things get sticky.

Andrew "NO .SIG MAN" "Juan" Perron, posting much too much tonight.

Just updated the guide to cover that.

General rule, if things get sticky, don't go to JIM.

If you want things to get sticky, though, I'm just the chap for the job.
