Hi Syd!
No, you don't know me, so there's no use in trying to find out where you might know me from.
I've been sent here by Katy, in fact I'm just trying to find out what Mustardland is, but this seems to be not as easy as I thought it could be. Maybe I should write an entry about "troubles on the way to Mustardland" or "my Odyssey".
What I have found out so far is, that you come from a messageboard where the backgroud colour was the colour of mustard, and that you are now moving to hootoo.
So, please sit down, get and and tell me something. Maybe something about yourself too, because you seem to be one of those who just don't get their Personal Space done. (If you need any help please tell me.)
tschüss

No changes yet, but as other boards go over to DNA and then either fall over or become unusable, people are getting worried...
It's not the BBC's fault (directly), just bad timing; all the changeovers are happening at the same time the main database server died and they're trying to "settle in" the replacement.

What means they go all over to DNA? Are they actually coming here or just overtake the style of this page?
We also had a few hamster problems some time ago, they even seem to be a main topic in the presidential elections here.

All the BBC's message boards are moving onto a DNA-driven system, which means they'll use the same login as here, and have many of the same features. At the moment some (noteably Mustardland) still run on the venerable Howerd2 software which has the charming "quirk" of making conversations appear and disappear at random as it nears breaking point.

Thanks for your patience in answering questions.

Here you are just sometimes kicked out and told, that you aren't loged in, although you are, and then you see god's famous last message "we apologize for the inconvenience"... well... hamster problems...
