It's not off topic if you don't change the subject At least in the first bit...
Anyway, 'twas strange last night--I was assuming the change would be during UK office hours, so I wasn't expecting to be taken to the terms and conditions at 6am GMT. No problem agreeing and such (though I did at the no-off-topic rule) but it switched me over to PaperKid's account
(I'd been myself the last couple weeks.) Signed out of her, signed in as myself, of course lost my punctuation and mufflewhumps. I still had PaperKid's skin. Since I was heading to bed anyway, I left everything and fixed it this morning. I realized that I needed to fix the skin in the url, and I found Ti's plain link. So you are all still stuck with me

If they are really going to study every post for being offtopic, that doesn't have a smiley attached I reckon that will just give more ammo to interesting creativity, such as we have to use now for all manner of innuendo.
As usual h2g2 will just notch things up a bit, to find a roundabout.

Who came up with idea that people are being modded for being offtopic? It's a joke, right? No-one is getting modded for being offtopic. Hati most likely got modded for something to do with bombing trains.

What do you expect? It's just first day paranoia.
I rather like it.
(I'm still mildly paranoid, because officially, I'm still on probabtion )
