Here here. And i am all the better for getting out of ntl, believe me :tu:

I was only answering a valid question mate. After all i was only intoducing myself :)

Yes, but you weren't the one who brought it up. You were asked to explain the situation and if people want to dig all that up again they can look for it on other sites.

well I for one welcome you to this forum Mark D hope you enjoy yourself. Live and let live...:wavey:

Hi, I'm edgerobber.
I registered, but never actually posted at .com.
I have been an ntl customer for nearly four years now (well 6 months of CWC b4 ntl bought it) and I have had no major problems - how lucky am i ??? ;)

I'm Xaccers,

I used to work for NTL (for a really great manager, hey Dom :D ) but left to move on to pastures new.

Most of you from the old site will know me for my long theological discussions with Russ :D

I'm a cool head in a mad world

I too am pleased to see Mark here he was a damn good tec and has given me a lot of help :)

i know who you are ;)

hope to see more of the above sometime :wavey: :D

I remember Xaccers from .com's Current Affairs forum. (Welcome to nthellworld.co.uk, Xaccers, btw. :wavey: )

There were some very good debates/discussions in there (Iraq, evolution, & more....). :)

Actually it was Mark D himself that raised the issue in post 197 on page 14:rolleyes:

So you don't see what Bill Payer said to be fuelling the situation?

I took it to be a spiteful whisper muttered under his breath as he left the forum....

You asked (& I quote)
I put it to you that if Mark had not mentioned the matter (without prompting I may add) then further questions would not have been asked. As it is he chose of his own volition to raise the issue although it may have been preferential if questions had been asked via PM as per his original post.

And I put it right back at you that:

a) You haven't answered me but hey, no reply needed I suppose...

and

b) from Bill Payer's reply (which as you say, could have been asked in PM) he was inviting an open discussion on the matter.

and

c) Fraz - you know what happened, I know what happened, the majority know what happened, so let's just drop it eh?

All rise for Mr Mark D. Welcome back to the land of postings. Hope all is well in the new job. Look forward to more of your heated debates.:wavey:

(a) I did answer you see (b)

(b) I stand by my original reply without any embellishments

(c) Yes I'm quite aware of the background

(d) For some reason you appear to have taken umbrage at the fact that Mark D openly brought the subject up and then appeared to imply that it was other posters that had brough the issue up in order to distract from this despite Mark D's own protestations.

Whoever you consider brought up the subject, would you not agree that it would be better if the subject is now dropped?

no, I've paid for a 15 minute discussion and I intend to get it :D

So why did you take umbrage ;)

Ask me in PM and we'll discuss.

That was never 15 minutes!!!

why not let people get it out of their system once and for all?

now everybody repeat after me :-


Mark D you're a very naughty boy!


:D

Chwarae Teg, shouldn't that be 'you were' rather than 'you are ' :)

yes it was

I'd say it's open to interpretation, however do you feel better now you've got it out of your system?

Are you sure ?

The next line's meant to be 'no it wasn't!' ;)

I think we all know Mark is here now so why not post things about your selves so that we can all get to know each other better :D

Here here!! after all we all aren't perfect! :smokin:

/me Wonders if zude would get the same welcome :p

This week you will be mainly "Shabba" lol
:D

Heehee Roy hiya Shabba x

I was going to elaborate further on my reasons for posting,but I'll leave it for now.

Hello all :)

Nice to be here :)

hello helpy long time no see :wavey: :(

glad to hear from you welcome to the forums :wavey:

I've been on the other site under my real name :)

ah on the .com site ?

dont know your real name :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

I'm not saying here lol will send you a PM :)

ok :)

:wavey:

Helloooooo Mr Fraz ! :wavey:

Hiya Helpy I am so glad you are here :)

Hiya ! :)

Nice to see some familiar faces :)

hey helpy :wavey:

Well i guess the whole .com gang is almost here.

Hi Fraz :wavey: Lets leave it alone, yeah. Dont want to upset people do we?

:wavey: Helpy

Nice to see you here..

:)

Welcome to the forums Helpy. Nice to see you..

Seeing helpy is always nice :naughty:

Hmmm Not all of them.. I notice some are missing...or maybe here under a different tag.:rolleyes:

Sorry I'm late.
Traffic was a bitch. :)
:wavey:

Hi cylinder.:wavey: And welcome.:p

Well I'm back. Spent a while look at TOS.
Been reading some interesting stuff on the Xbox and GC threads, as I am currently working in the games industry. Currently lead QA at an up and coming Games development studio.
Yes thats right I get paid to play computer games. Its a dirty job but someone has to do it :D

Who you trying to kid?? Some of us would give our high teeth to have a job like that!!:D

back in the Amiga days I used to be a playtester on the Lynx handheld :D

was good fun... though why they asked me to playtest "Awesome Golf" even though I am not into golf games I had no idea lol..

Shame that console was so short lived.. it was more playable than GameGear or GameBoy

I was on vacation. Hence my late arrival from .com. Quite a surprise to see how quickly things change. But, great job at getting this site up so quickly. It's also good to see so many people moving over here in such a short time.

how quickly can we move back though, danielf?

Gaz

Hi!
My name's Bill and I've been an alcoholic for (what do you mean "It's the wrong forum"?)
Sorry,I've been an NTL Digital customer for 3 & a half years.Prior to that,I was with Cabletel when they first moved into Cardiff.
Guess that brings me back to being an Acloholic. :beer: :beer:

I'm starting to feel quite comfortable here. I'm just waiting for the post count to increase. After that, I think there will be little looking back.

binary there, binary here. Simple.


My thoughts as well! Though in a way this is just a replacement of the NTHW.com forum., which is being neutered.

This could be one of the most unusual starts to a new forum on the internet- as much of the userbase of NTHW.com simply migrates here.

It's just a shame that all the ntl-related archives of NTHW.com will be wiped. A lot of people's time and effort went into answering other peoples questions there and that will all be lost.

If anyone's reading this in the early hours of Tuesday 1st July, I'd recommend they read this thread and do a bit of last minute self-archiving of NTHW.com's forums!

They might delete the posts but they can't delete the knowledge that people have;) With so many .com members now here it won't be long before this site is filled with useful information and helpful posts - with so many useful members of .com supporting this site and here already, we're half way there:)

Hello been here a while was hagman777 in my past .com life he has risen as harper777 Amen !!!!! :angel:

Hello there,

My name's Martin. I've currently got an NTL 1 Meg connection. I've had broadband for two years, upgrading to the 1 meg six months ago. So far I've had no connection problems, the speed in my area (Newport, S Wales) has been consistently good. Email was good until three or four months ago. Since then it's been utter sh*te, until this week, when it seems to have settled down.

I run three machines behind a router, a Silicon Graphics Workstation, an old HP 9000 Unix Box and a PC running mainly Linux but occasionally Windoze. No problems connecting any of these.

I almost forgot to bang on about the useless news servers that NTL give us. I've had to give up and read it via Google.

I was on the other site but rarely posted. I lurk but don't post unless I can make a worthwhile contribution..

To me it was obvious that once the .com site was sold to NTL it would be "neutered". A great shame but hopefully this site can and will take over. Personally, I'd rather not see mods from that site acting in that capacity here. Particularly those that were "poachers turned gamekeepers" if you get what I mean.

Cheers,

Martin

Hi all

same old me same handle and all that jazz

somethings never change :wavey: :wavey: :wavey:

Hi

I'm Jamie :)

Whats the deal on here?

Are people nice?

Just been to a different forum and got slated. :cry:

It's nice to be nice, welcome...... ( back ) ? :shrug: :D

Erm welcome Jamie :wavey:

Hi Jamie, :) I can't speak for everyone but the vast majority are friendly. Me I'm very friendly.:wavey:

Hiya Dingo:wavey: Yep same old faces eh? Tee Hee

What do you mean back?

We used to have a Jamie before.;)

OH right.

Do I need to worry :eek:

Nah, Jamie was a Mod here.;)

Cool.

Does that mean I get his job ;)

Tee hee would you want it?? No don't answer that. Anyway hope you enjoy the site.:)

I should do I think.

Where is the best place to start?

:)
http://www.nthellworld.co.uk/forum/s...=&threadid=596

thankyou.

cool just applied to be a mod.

i think i might like this site.

Just thought that there is no harm in trying.

You mean he's gone?:confused:

ok, it takes a lot to confuse me... but I admit, I am confused now...


soimeone wanna put the Jamie situation straight?

Jamie was a mod as the site started
Jamie later turned out to be someone else.
Jamie was removed
Jamie is now someone else again?

Am I right? or am I just confused to hell and back?

and what has someone been putting in my cigarettes?

Jamie the mod isn't on this site any more AFAIK. 'Jamie' is now a 'deleted user'. Another member of this forum, Peterska2, started posting in this thread the other day, signed in as a guest called Jamie, just 'cos she's a cheeky monkey like that. ;)

Yep he's gone, there was something posted here http://www.nthellworld.co.uk/forum/s...6459#post16459

I thought he was alright, but there you go.

anarion here and there although not on .com very long.

looking forward to seein where we go wrong and maybe havin a few laughs about it along the way!!

I'm Daran currently working @ Microsoft

Been around a bit!

:wavey: Good to see you here Daran :)

what part of MS?
and the reading office i take it?

Hi Grum...... Cheers Mate! :wavey:

In the Security Department. Yes, In Reading. We do get to hear alot about alot though ;)

Jamie was amod, he was "sacked" and his account deleted. Pererska2 re-created the account Jamie and posted as Jamie.
The new Jamie was re-deleted (that's why it looks unregistered) and peterska2 was banned. I hope this clears things up.

hi anarion - according to google you are an Australian Metal Band, or Henry Martinez?

I am friendly and look forward to a few laughs along the way, too:D

Yeah i saw that too???? kinda worrying altho i am a bass player so maybe in my sleep i moonlight in the band??? :D

sounds interesting! any news!:p

Hmmmm Darant... perhaps you could do me a little favour

I have a compaq Aero 1520 PDA running CE 2.11, there WAS a PocketPC 2000 upgrade available but whenever I call Compaq about it they say it's software, Phone MS... then when I phone MS they say it's deployed on a PCB so it's hardware and I should call Compaq... Can you please find out which is true? So I can confront whichever company with the correct info please?

If you can't then it's ok, I was just hoping SOMEONE could lol, but hey, it's MS and Compaq, who really expects sense.... (and that is a corporate overview, not an impression of any individual)

LOL....... I'll try my best for you.

Just thought I'd say Hi and let you know that I am now here.

Alan
