Hi all,

It's no secret that the foos' in here are plainly killing the group. I
suggest google groups: http://groups-beta.google.com/group/AGHL as an
alternative.

I like the chat in here but I don't see why I (or you) should have to
put up with the cross posting and the trolling. I don't feel like
pimping my site or indeed expect anyone to accept it but google groups
would seem a good alternative considering it's moderated and I'm more
than happy to give moderation rights (or relinquish them) to anyone who
I feel would do a good job of it.

Anyway, it's there, use if if you like. Other than that, hello and hope
you're all doing fine.

Cheers

Scott.

Are they leaving? All I see is trolling about Miramax and Atlantis in
the Bay of Bengal.

The annoying thing is that some twats are responding to it all
perpetuating it, although I don't recognise the names so I think it's
morons from the alt.surrealists who are either too stupid to remove the
irrelevant groups, or who actively wish to continue bombarding us.

Having said that, I had a quick look at AGHL on the link above and it
seems to be just discussions on whether Strider's .tk site is up, or
what skills their Wednesday night WoW party has.

Rock and a hard place.

It's no secret that "foos'" in here have no clue how to use a real
newsreader, and or are too immature to ignore or laugh at the trolls.
Personally, I think if they all went to a web forum, they probably won't be
missed.

That's because it was used a stop gap whilst - yes, my site was down.
Note it's title, yes AGHL, I created it to talk about Half-life and for
the AGHL group to stay in touch, not to talk about my site and WoW.

Hiya Stri.

IMHO I totally understand the sentiments but we did this discussion back
in November/December about the AGHL and AGHL2 groups - I think we all
said then that one was enough and that more would split the group.

I'm personally not overly keen on moderation either - I can see the need
on some groups but in AGHL I kinda think none of us would still be here
if we had someone kicking us off for OT posts

Other than that... good to see ya. What happened to the review on WOW?
Too busy playing to write it? I'm presuming you found it as addictive
and time-consuming as you thought it might be...

It's a bit of a jump isn't it? I mean, er, chartered accountancy to lion
taming in one go.
You don't think it might be better if you worked your way toward lion
taming, say, via banking...

Sorry about that. Both you and James are both now approved.

Good question. I'm at a transition period. The nature of the game being
what it is I think I still only know a small portion of it since it's
only the Mage I've played in any great detail.

I have a three month subscription, when that's up I might write the
review. Then again, I'm odd, might get bored and write it tomorrow.

I'll post it here when I do, cheers for the interest.
