Just a reminder, for those who missed it - it was decided by the ModSquad that we will alternate the formerly weekly Mod Squad updates with Around the Boards posts every other week.

Also in Communications, a quick reminder that current moderators who are away for extended periods of time can be found listed in the Active Moderators Temporarily Away from the Boards thread.

<a style="font-size: 14pt;">Small Screen Star Wars</a>

Over at Small Screen Star Wars we've learned that The Emperor himself is overseeing The Clone Wars 3D series. The question we're asking is whether you think this is a good or bad development. Many Bothans died to bring us this information.

Rick McCallum has been giving his two-pennith about the Live Action Series in SW Insider Come and see what the Rickmeister has got to say.

The Arena is buzzing with activity. We're playing poker, creating our own College Football top 25 rankings, crowning our favorite basketball player, talking fantasy football and the Rugby World Cup. And, that's not mentioning our NFL coverage, which includes several threads dedicated to specific teams. Oh, and we're still going lol @ Michigan.

MarcusP2 just won the Video Game Draft, and that draf

 

Looks good mate.

 

Thank you, E_S!

 

In the spirit of "Talk Like A Pirate Day", this thread should have been titled "Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrround the Fogrogs".

 

Oh, Ender! You mentioned the Video Game tourney!

 

I agree with YodaJeff on this issue.

 

What the heck is a pennith?

 

But Jeff, I hate pirates and TLAPD.

Just as a follow up: There's a new discussion in the Senate on the folly of absitence only sex-ed. Come add your 2 credits!

Hey thanks for the blurb about the PT rewrite, Ender

Much appreciated!

I always like these to know what's going on in different forums.

 

I displayed my quant British Charm there. If someone gives their 2 pennith (pennith = penny as in money) it means they are having their say about something. I think its a "northern" expression.

Everton would have known what I was on about, I bet.

 

YES! I love the mod updates. Highlight of my week.

 

Great work on this! I like how this trading-off system is working with ATB and MSU. TLA's for everyone!

 

Just as an update for this thread, the Travelling Social Thread is now in FanFilms!



Thanks for the walk around the boards, Ender. Much appreciated.

He wasn't the mod to think of it first ... but neither was I!
