Now you know why people worried about Y2K, and why they still worry about UNIX time rollover. Imagine if you had to pay tax going back to the last time you logged on to the barrow downs. Thirty-four years back taxes, plus interest. Cash, please.

Fortunately the Barrow Wight doesn't collect taxes.

Suomeksi.

In English.

Thank you both, Heren and Spawn.

What's up with the ' Inktomi Slurp Spiders' that come up in the 'Currently Active Users' section?

Is it just me, or is the icon next to the Shire RPG forum always a ghost or a padlock? Never a green ball? Is it supposed to be like that? This has been bothering me for a while.
