So, I have Astro to thank for making the emergency call?

Thanks both of you!

Thanks, Greg!
Just relax and don't worry about a thing, MIH. I have a trojan app buried deep in your account that can be activated with a keystroke. Then, like Paul Anka, I can slash like a hammer! (OK, I'm not sure exactly what that means, but he makes it sound really bad...)

Hey, now. Better not!
p.s. I am listening to Allison Krauss and Robert Plant on iTunes.

Talk about a crash course on mentoring...if we all contributed tonight and left you to run the whole shop on your first weekend of mentoring...:devil: :smile:

:smile::smile::smile: That would be a bit to handle today. [I suspect that Astronuc would handle it spectacularly] It seemed very strange the first time that I was the only staff member online, but back then we only had about 3000 members. :biggrin:

Uh oh, we gave the yellow bug to Ivan too!
 
  • #62
It looks strange people being in yellow when you've only ever seen them in green. What a strange forum quirk. I bet when Greg implemented this offer he didn't think he could have lost his whole staff in one night.

I renewed my contribution 2 days before I became mentor. I don't know the renewal would have affected me.

Fortunately Evo remained green.


I was in another forum and saw Moobear in gold, and thought that she was still a mentor, but gold instead of green. When I came back to this thread, I landed on page 1 where I had last looked and where Moonbear was talking about renewing. Then I realized there were more posts, and I found that MIH was gold. Greg wasn't online at that point, so I wasn't sure a PM or email would work. That's when I called him, and a few minutes later, Moobear and MIH were restored.

I lost my green. :shy::rolleyes: :wink:

That is my money when contributing.

That was never going to work really was it. Suppose I better send all my Christmas chocolate before I get punished.

I was going to yell at someone about the bad math on the subscription page but decided search for an explanation as to why 1 yr cost $10, 6 yrs costs $75, but the note says you get a discount for doing the 6 yr plan.

I may not understand linear algebra, but I'm smart enough to know that there was something wrong with someones math.

Anyways, consider me signed up.

The 10/yr is a special holiday discount. Usually it's $15.

Ah ha! Thank you.

Now if I could just figure out how these forum search engines work.

I'm having a terrible time finding anything regarding "combined gas law".
Perhaps I should just ask the question.

Doesn't look like we have much on the subject, I would suggest asking the question.

No recent victims. I think it was just a minor staff infection.

I thought the sale was supposed to end on the 25th?
I hate getting things on sale.
It makes me feel poor.
But I'll put the $5 to good use. Cheers!

Permanent prices are now $12/yr or $48 for 5 years. Thanks and Enjoy!
 
  • #79
hmm. I just found this thread so I got my membership on Christmas without even knowing it was discounted. Lucky me :biggrin:.

Monkeys or chimps/apes, or primates in general?

I was wondering how long it would be before someone came around to bust my chops on this. :rolleyes:
I mean "monkeys" in the informal sense:
wiki said:
Because of their similarity to monkeys, apes such as chimpanzees and gibbons are often called "monkeys" in informal usage, though they are not monkeys.
