The "I'm going away on holiday/for a longish period of time" thread

[thomasp]

To keep Worm Mad happy ( ;) ), post here and only here if you are going away on holiday or if you are leaving for a short amount of time.

[HuntaKilla]

I'm going to my grannies house tonight, and won't be back until monday night...fun. :rolleyes:

[AndrewTaylor]

At some point in the next few weeks Next weekend I'm off to my student house. I'll probably be online less from then on.

I was on holiday last week (in Manchester). So if you've been wondering where I was last week, well...

[Worm Mad]

I'll be off the computer for a few days as it's being repaired. Also, forum events have lately been pretty stressful on me and I want to take a break from it for a little while. Don't worry... I will be back.

[OldSkoolCrazy]

Going on a day hike up in a town a couple hours away from here so won't be on until late tomorrow; that is if I get on the computer at all.

double post edit:

Well, I'm came back from a 6 hour a hike yesterday. It was fun. It rained on us a bit, and one instance it hailed on us. Unfortunately, after the hike I got a burning headache, but now I'm fine. It was also really nice to get out of this miserable heat.

[Squirminator2k]

I will be away until next Saturday as I have another Hemsby holiday to enjoy. Apologies to anyone who was looking forward to the dream17 Content Update - that will now be next Sunday.

[M3ntal]

I'm going into hospital to have a kidney operation on Tuesday. Dunno how long i'll be in for.

Hope it goes fine (is that the right word?). Hopefully, you'll be back posting soon :)

[M3ntal]

Cheers. Hey, am i ever away from this place for long? ;)

[OldSkoolCrazy]

Awwww!!! My legs hurst like a *****!!!! I went back down the Grand Canyon for some crazy reason.:p This time we went down a different trail, which was a lot harder. We also had to go down all the way in one day. It was worth it though. We stayed down at the river. Unfortunately there were no toilets or tables. It was completely primitive. We were lucky enough to see some rafters the next morning and we watched them go through the rapids. It looks freaky. Then we went to a different camp site and stayed the night. At least that camp site had toilets, if you could call them that. We hicked out today and it took us 8 hours to walk 8.8 miles; all uphill. The last two hours were the hardest. It was really steep and the trail wasn't in good condition. I laugh at people we met at the bottom of that stretch because half of them didn't even know what they were getting themselves into by going down so far. When your down that far with no water it wouldn't be pleasent to walk all the way back up. After that we drove for 4 hours back home and now I'm here and took a nice long shower.:) But my legs still hurt like they were shoved into a grinder and sowed back on to my body.

I'll be going away to France for a week (school trip), starting from Friday.

I dunno if someone wants to take my place in Monopoly?

I dunno if someone wants to take my place in Monopoly?i would, but when you returned you'd be bankrupt :p

it's better to just wait or choose a non-player.

[SomePerson]

I'm going camping this weekend at a dry lakebed.

When I come back I'll have good videos of the FAPAC and the Pitchfork Cannon Of Doom.

It also means I'll be absent a while for Monopoly...:p

"Now it's time to say goodnight to you,
Now it's time to bid you sweet adieu."- Home Tonight, Aerosmith, from the album Rocks.

Well, I know I've said this before(apart for the singing thing up there), but...

Now I really mean it. I have to bugger off and buckle down. I'm going to archive all my Hotmail e-mail in Gmail, then delete them from Hotmail. I've switched off E-Mail Notification for all threads here.

Now I'm just looking at CAD and VGCats for the last time in a bit.

And NO-ONE say "You'll be back" or "You'll NEVER leave!", cause I know all that. Which is why I'm only leaving till... well... look at my sig.

Adios!

I'm not going to be online much over the next two weeks - waiting for the Broadband to be installed into the new place. Email sent to ben@fried-comic.com or squirminator2k@dream17.co.uk will be responded to. Usually.

A'ight, good to know.

Shame, who else will there be to pick on :p

Remember the time you were gone for a long period of time and the last thing you told us it was involving your bicycle? Nevermind don't want to bring this up again

Yes, Ben leaving is a good thing to know, let us celebrate by having a party, or something

If something new were to happen concerning Worms4, I'll update the Dream17 news

(I'm kidding about this, my humor is odd)

Oh-oh-oh! You think I'll let you get away THAT easily?

[Worm Mad]

So when KamBan leaves for a few months, nobody even bothers to say goodbye but when Ben leaves for a couple of weeks, it's all "Oh, don't go!"

You people disgust me.

And I know it's belated but Good luck KB and don't forget to come back!



[Btw, the "You people disgust me" thing was just me messing around, before I get loads of comments asking me to calm down. I do think it's a bit rude, that's all]

[SargeMcCluck]

I didn't comment to KB because he's been very inactive lately anyway, and he also will definitely not be on until a certain date so there's no point me saying "Have a good time while you're gone!" when he's already gone and won't read the message until he's back, and by then the time will already have been had so my statement will be redundant.

Ben didn't say he was going to right there and then lose his 'net connection however. He's just not going to be online much. He will be online though. Or something.



It's obviously not just because I rarely view this thread and I didn't see KB's post. Obviously. :x

I don't know whether or not it was clear from the "To SomePerson" thread but I quit. I don't know when or if I'll return. If you want to contact me, do it via MSN as I won't be around here to read any messages.

All I ever tried to do in this community was to keep the peace and encourage creativity. I guess that's not a job that one man could do successfully on his own.

Goodbye, all. I'll miss you.

My word. I'm extremely sorry to hear that. You've been a keystone in the revival of the Worms community, Worm Mad, and it'll be a real shame to lose you. Good luck in whatever you plan to do.

[FatWhitey]

Shame to see you go Euan, you were one of the important and creative members of this community.

You will be missed, by me

I'll always keep mind your 17sCompany story, that was a great story.

Myself from the start knew you always tried to mantain and keep the forum at peace

Don't do it, Mad!:(

[Zero72]

This really is the end of an era... or maybe just a finishing blow.

You'll be missed, Mad.

[Kjatte]

I'm leaving too. Congratulations, You've won..

[Zero72]

...Well, ****. Now what? :(

[philby4000]

But... But... but...You'll never leave? :(

Ti's a sad day in this forum.

I'll miss seing you around mad, and you too kjatte. :(

[FatWhitey]

I'm leaving too. Congratulations, You've won..

:(

How come you're leaving?

First, Mad and now Kjatte? I'm afraid to know whose next...

You will be deeply missed by me, I'm not gay but Kjatte is one of my best friends

...words can’t express my feeling of sadness, due to Mad and Kjatte gone from the forum

[thomasp]

Who's going to go next?

At this rate, by the end of next week, there'll be nobody left in OD.

[Test Zero]

Bye! :D

[FutureWorm]

Bye! :D
That post made me laugh, even though it was ridiculously inappropriate. Shame on you.

[Paul.Power]

I'm going!

(joke)

[worMatty]

You know, they're just leaving the forum. It's not as if they're departing to an unknown place for an uncertain amount of time. The Worms community is like the Borg, always there in the background, and if you come back to it later it's as if you never left. These forums alone aren't the community, just places where communion tends to be busiest.

P.S. Post money owed to Worm Mad care of worMatty.

[OldSkoolCrazy]

I always felt their was peace in the OD. It was just one thread. I don't want you to leave.:( Neither do I want Kjatte to leave. Please stay, you'll be too missed.:(

[Zero72]

Because of your extreme impulsiveness? :p ;)

[Kjatte]

Because of your extreme impulsiveness? :p ;) Didn't know I had that! :p
Nah, it was because it meant alot to certain people that I was around.

[OldSkoolCrazy]

Nah, it was because it meant alot to certain people that I was around.

I think everyone here means a lot to everyone. Maybe more so between others because they know them all, but I think everyone part of the OD comunity are a good bunch.:)

Also glad to see you're not leaving Kjatte.:D

[K^2]

I say we use the rate with which people return to estimate the size of the black hole in the center of OD.

[AndrewTaylor]

Is OD exothermic or endothermic?

[Squirminator2k]

*runs back in quickly*

Worm Mad? Leaving? NOO!!

*runs out again*

[philby4000]

Is OD exothermic or endothermic?
Well, it is kinda warm in here...

[Paul.Power]

Is OD exothermic or endothermic?Well, the rate at which people come in depends on how many we invite...

[K^2]

Is OD exothermic or endothermic?
In which process?

[Star Worms]

Is OD exothermic or endothermic?
Well the enthalpy change of formation seems to be negative, therefore it must be exothermic. Then again, one of the steps in the indirect route could be endothermic.

You'll never leave!

It's true, he won't!

Anyway, tomorrow I'm off to see my brother in Deleware for the weekend, so I probably won't be on until Monday.

I was away for a few days in sunny Canterbury.

Miss me?

I thought so.

[Squirminator2k]

I'm going to Preston today, more specifically Myerscough College. Amy's been there for a week on her Vet Nurse course, and she'll be the only one at the Dorm over the weekend. She gets a bit lonely, so I'm going up there to join her. I'll be back late Sunday, or early Monday.

[philby4000]

I'm off to sunny, sunny Devon on the morrow.

And I won't be back till next saturday.

[OldSkoolCrazy]

Btw, I'm going to Scotland and northern England for ten days tomorrow! It's highly possible that i'll be visiting Team17 and try Lemmings and possibly some 'other stuff'. I'll find that out tomorrow. I'll try to post if I'll visit there or not tomorrow when I know for sure!

I'm back. It was quite fun and very pretty. Only bad thing is that I haven't seen so many mosquitos in my life. I came back looking like I had a disease because I was bitten so many times. They love my precious blood. Otherwise, it was well worth it. Here's a pictures:

And I'm back too.

Wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.

:p

[OldSkoolCrazy]

I want to go to Russia. :-/

[SomePerson]

I do too. I'm learning Russian and stuff too. (Я изучаю русский язык!) I also bought one of those Russian fur "ushanka" hats (imported), and I recently ordered (also imported) one of these coats: http://secure.sovietski.com/isroot/sovietski/ImagesOnline/catalog/300108.jpg

So, yeah, I'm jealous. When I graduate, I'm so going to Russia.


It turns out I'm going camping this week, leaving tomorrow, so I won't be around until Saturday. ...Hopefully it won't be as bloody hot as it has been here...

[UnKnown X]

Most of Russia is probably cool, but downtown Moscow and Primorsko-Akhtarsk are definitely not!

Downtown Moscow seems like New York rush-hour, but all the time! Primorsko Akhtarsk. . . let's just say that you can forget about the word "technology" when you're down there. There's a pretty damn nice beach there though, but that's all the place is good for.

Krasnodar, which is 3 hours of driving south-east of Primorsko-Akhtarsk, sounds like an interesting place. It's a small city where the closest airport is every time I go to Primorsko-Akhtarsk. I haven't been around in Krasnodar though. It's always PLANE LAND-AGE, then OUT OF PLANE WALK-AGE, followed by OUT OF KRASNODAR DRIVE-AGE.

I have also yet to see the Kreml, as I never have enough time in Moscow.

Another thing about Moscow: the subway (or whatever's there, I forget) is S**TE! I shouldn't even have to explain why, just take my word for it: it's a living hell!

Also, I'm leaving in about 6 hours. Whoop!

[Squirminator2k]

I've heard rumours that Russia is actually made of ice.

[UnKnown X]

Well yeah, the NORTHERN part! But it's evil, and I'm not going there. No, I'm going to the south! 35ºC deluxe!

[Star Worms]

People doing History A2 get to go to Russia:(. I wanted to do History too (but instead I chose sodding English)...

Going away from Tuesday 2nd August to the 17th. Going to Sheffield Uni open day, then staying at my grandfather's house, and then going on holiday to Scotland. Coming back just in time for my AS Level results. Have fun playing W4 while I'm away:p

I'm back from Disneyland with my friend. It was lots of fun. I went on my first rollercoaster. I was scared to death at first and I was sort of making a scene.:p Now I'm hooked on them and get enough thrills. I'm a thrill junkie.:p So badly that I danced around like an idiot in public and people pointed at me. It was tons of fun too.:p

No more vodka for me. Russia trip be over.

It wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be, despite the 8-hours-of-boredom-a-day routine and the 40ºC+ shash.

Also, even though I'm from there, the (lack of) wealth there never ceases to amaze me. I learned that the average monthly income is about 2000r, which is roughly $65.

I don't know why I am still on this forum. The final semblence of intellect in the rest of the forum has finally suffocated, leaving only idiots who can't punctuate, who want stupid things from the company, or who seem to complain at the drop of the hat about things which, to them, sound perfectly reason. Sure, why can't Lemmings be released on the DS? It's better suited to the console! It's not fair! Well tough, Sony own the rights to it. Get used to it or get out. Why can't Worms Open Warfare have WiFi support, full speechbanks and flags with customisation support? The DS has amicrophone, we SHUOLD BE ABEL TO RECOERD OUR OWN SPEEEK!!1. Not a problem, let me just whip a line of code in and bloop! there we go, is that better? Of course not, it's not going to happen.

I'm sorry, but this forum is making me bitter. The nonsensical rantings of people, and I speak specifically of people outside of OD, does nothing but **** me off. So that's it. Colour be gone. I'll still be here in OD on occasion, but there's very little keeping me here on the Team17 Forum. It's sad, really, but what can you do?

I wouldn't mind User Admins with limited control to the Admin Control Panel, and I wouldn't mind that power being in my hands. I'd ween out the crap. People like bonz and quakerworm have had their time. Now it's time to move on to a forum where mental retardation is acceptable.

This forum used to have standards, FFS. Why do you think people like M3ntal and SargeMcCluck don't post as often now, if at all...?

[thomasp]

I'd actually be in favour of a Warning system (vB3.5.x has it I think, as I've seen it on other forums), where the mods/user mods give a user 'warning points' when they break rules.

After x warning points, they get automatically put on 'Being Watched' for, say, a month.

Then, after x+y warning points, they're banned for a week or so.

Then, after x+y+0.5z warning points, they're permanently banned.


But, that discussion isn't really for this thread ;)

[SupSuper]

This forum used to have standards, FFS. Why do you think people like M3ntal and SargeMcCluck don't post as often now, if at all...?Because they reside on Cl2k Forums? At least, I think they do.
And Sarge's a WoW addict.

[SargeMcCluck]

Because they reside on Cl2k Forums? At least, I think they do.
And Sarge's a WoW addict.

Check out my last signed in date on the CL2K forums. It's like, August/September I think.

And I post on many forums regularly, even though I play WoW. Just not this one, so much.

[Squirminator2k]

I was thinking of picking up WoW. It depends on if they accept Visa Electron or not. CoH doesn't, which annoyed me immensely.

Seriously, get a proper card. I have a Visa Debit, and that's accepted everywhere.

I'm not rightly sure how a Visa Electron is different, but it does seem to be rejeted in most places.

[Paul.Power]

Then, after x+y+0.5z warning points, they're permanently banned.Err... what's with the 0.5? Why not just x + y + z? Why are we throwing fractional constants in?

[Test Zero]

I'd actually be in favour of a Warning system (vB3.5.x has it I think, as I've seen it on other forums), where the mods/user mods give a user 'warning points' when they break rules.
Problem is, they're not actually breaking any rules.

[Run]

The problem stems from three simple facts:

1. Worms is a children's game
2. Virtually everyone here came to the forum because of Worms
3. Children are idiots

[Blinx]

Nevermind.

[AndrewTaylor]

So basically you being an adult coming to a forum dedicated to a childrens game makes you an idiot?
That makes no sense.

[Squirminator2k]

1. Worms is a children's game
Whoa there, Pickle. Worms is only a Children's game in the same sense that Chess is a children's game. Children can play both games, or can at least be aware of the game rules and mechanics, but that doesn't necessarily make them good at it.








("Whoa there, Pickle" is a reference to Spaced, not to Pickleworm who, for some reason, doesn't visit anymore. Wonder why...)

[Macobsession]

You know i dont even play worms anymore....but i have the sudden desire to revive the macworms site....lol....one of these days i'll do something with it.

Remind yourself to read this message last Wednesday.

[Pigbuster]

For some strange reason, I've simply stopped visiting Team17 and DA, which used to be my daily haunts.
It's probably because of the Edgar Prado incident, since I waste my time on the internet too much.

And I think that it finally dawned on me that absolutely nothing interesting is in the fanart section anymore. Honestly. I've been gone for a few days, and none of the threads with new posts looks like they hold any interest whatsoever.

No idea when I'll be back. Maybe when school's over.

I'm going to be gone from this forum for a while. I've got a music mp3 downloads to get done for a friend, there's 200 mp3s to get download and burn to CD and I've hardly started. Would like to get this done and out of the way before I do anything else.

That is a lousy excuse.

[FatWhitey]

"That is a lousy excuse."

No excuse, it's the truth.

On another note:

I'm thinking of leaving the eight forums I've signed up to completely. All eight take up too much of my time and energy, let alone one.

I need to start doing something with my life instead of being on the internet most of the time. Job, College, and GF, these three are what I'm intending to accomplish, the internet only gets in my way. Sure, I'll be on here but not too much anymore.

[FutureWorm]

No excuse, it's the truth.
Allow me to rephrase that. It's an awful reason. I occasionally download upwards of 100 MP3s in a day, and it doesn't hamper my online or offline activities in the least.

[FatWhitey]

Yes but I'm using Limewire, since other mp3 programs are found to be spyware /virus's and are picked up by my spyware/virus programs. The wait alone for one file alone takes too damn long.

Taken from the RealVG Forum

"...For a week.
Amy and I are off to Kalne in Bath for a week to spend time with ehr sister and brother-in-law. I expect I shall get destroyed at SoulCaliburIII, or some such thing."

[Squirminator2k]

I do, apparently, have Internet access, so I shall be popping by from time to time. What little time I get online will usually be spent at RealVG or checking my email though. Just a head's up.

[Star Worms]

Incase you're wondering, I won't be online lately because my wireless internet connectionthingymagiggy (technical term) stopped working (bloody thing). I'm taking the opportunity to actually revise for my exams. So I won't be over at RealVG either until the end of June.

[worMatty]

People come in to my place of work all the time with router problems. Right now there seems to be a bunch of faulty power supplies bundled with Belkin gateways. It's made by a company named DVE and outputs 12VDC, 1.25A. I haven't heard of many Voyagers going faulty. Though I expect yours took a trip out of your window and half way across the galaxy after you discovered what the problem was. Don't bet on that one coming home in a hurry.

[thomasp]

*Is back*

And there's quite a bit of mess by the looks of things ;)

[bonz]

*Is back*
Off-topic! This thread is for going AWAY.
Create a "I'm reporting back from holiday/a longish period of time" thread!

[Star Worms]

Finally a reply... "From the information you have provided it seems that your PC has a conflict with an ip address already assigned by the router, i.e. two PCs are using the same ip address. You should check the network connection properties in Windows Control Panel and ensure that your PC does not have an "assigned" ip address, i.e. it is set to automatically receive an ip address from the router."

Why the hell don't they make hardware that actually gives each computer a new IP address? It's happened on every computer I've tried to install this thing on. Surely it can't be too difficult to do that? Why can't people in this day and age make technology that just works after you install it? I feel I have no choice but to not buy anything from companies like BT or Leadtek (Who knowingly sold products with missing files on the CD but did not inform anyone about it. Instead they had to send me a new CD in the post). As for Apple who was also annoyed with not long ago, that was a software problem not a hardware problem. Something that I have paid good money for, I expect to work without having to be told from the technical "support" how to fiddle around with the computer settings and stuff. I have emailed the BT "support" a few times before about the same problem. They gave no help at all and as you can see by the reply above, it still doesn't give me a solution to the problem - it basically says "check to see if.....blah blah blah" rather than "check to see if.....blah blah blah. Then do ......... to sort it out". As such I'm going to have to email them back for about the 5th time and they only seem to reply back about a week after I email them or not at all. Bloody useless.

It clearly must be a well known problem as it has happened every time I or my brother have tried to install it on any computer. And yet they advertise that you can use several wireless adaptors around the house and connect to the internet. What they don't say is that you won't be able to connect with more than one computer until you know how to fix the problem they've created.

[worMatty]

Have you tried disabling DHCP in the router config and assigning each PC an IP address manually?

[Splapp]

Off to Cyprus for a fortnight.

Not that I post that often around here anyways... :p

[Slick]

BUY ME SOMTHING EXPENSIVE!:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

[Star Worms]

Have you tried disabling DHCP in the router config and assigning each PC an IP address manually?
Nope. I don't even know how to get into the router config.

[SupSuper]

Localhost?

[worMatty]

You'd have to open your web browser and type the router's IP address. It's usually something like 192.168.0.1, or 10.0.0.1. Then you'd be prompted to type in the admin area username and password, then it's on to the options.

[UnKnown X]

Assuming that you use Windows, "ipconfig /all" at the command prompt should give you the IP.

[Star Worms]

Oh right. I can't get into that on my computer.

[worMatty]

IM me with your router make and model handy, we'll try to sort it out then.

[Star Worms]

I hope I'm not jynxing myself but earlier today it was on and off (more of the latter). I went out, came back and reinstalled the stuff again and so far it hasn't cut me off. So fingers crossed it stays like that...

....I may have jynxed myself :(. It's flicking between all 4 things in the diagnostics passing and then failing "check communication with NIC" and "check for association"

*back* (probably only for about 5 seconds though giving this connection. It's extremely slow (far slower than dialup) and keeps cutting. Way to go BT! Their technical support is utterly useless - they just seem to be taking random guesses now and don't seem to have a clue what the problem is or how to fix it. I really don't know what BT pay them for. Even when the diagnostics show all 4 things as passed, the connection doesn't work.

OK, now I'm absolutely certain that the BT voyager router can only handle one wireless connection at a time. Mine started working for a while earlier at the same time my brother's stopped working. As such I feel like reporting them to trading standards for false advertising as they claim "you can network up to 10 computers wirelessly". When the connection on mine was set up there were problems but they were overcome, I can't remember what the problem was or how it was sorted out. When my mum got this new computer, I couldn't connect it wirelessly and instead used an ethernet cable. Then mine stopped working just before my brother came back from uni. He set his up wirelessly and mine hasn't worked until earlier today when my brother's stopped working (probably because I turned the DHCP off and then back on again).

[worMatty]

I say demand a faulty swap or a line check.

[Star Worms]

Well I tried my brother's 1055 and it worked (took some persuasion to get me to try it though). Now we'll just be wanting a refund for the 1050.
