The board is saved!

No you cannot.
Now quit being such a total pill.

Prepare for fisticuffs at that other board.

You know, where I can say stuff, and not face pending disciplinary action over dumb smurf.

There we go. That's the only redeeming quality. That we will refer to the board as milf.

I'm quite happy with milf

This were basically the first "modern" forum I joined as well (I'm not counting the BBS's, etc. from the early days of the Intarwebs and before).

Hopefully, the SmooveSmoke theme will stay, as well as Max.  This is still a sad day, though; I joined this forum because of the "MacAddict" name. 

My smoovesmoke is broken, no matter what computer I log in to. It's white and green.

What could possibly go wrong?

Don't worry, it's not the only thing not fully thought out about this whole ordeal.

This'll be just like in the past month when we had a buyout of our cellular company right before the holidays. That's going to be nothing compared to the nightmare that's going to occur for trying to take advantage of some possible trickle-down publicity.

It's pretty much too late for that.

When did phy get access to the mod forum?

I was born with access to the mod forum.

So what happens to the MacAddict name?

Really?
In that case, I'd like to renew my subscription.

Technically it's a pipe between the m and l.

If it were a pipe, it would mean something. Here it's a just a funny little line that someone thought looked cool. Anyone claiming 'Oooh! No! It's the output of your Mac being pumped into ... your... life' needs fixing.

My theory about the pipe is this (quote from the MacAddict changing name to MacLife?-thread)

...That blue pipe between Mac and Life is the rest. But what is the rest when you take away Mac and Life? Is there anything else than Mac and Life? Love, family, work that's part of "Life" and "Mac" thats selfexplanatory. I guess the pipe is the Magazine formerly know as MacAddict that does it's best to bind the two together just so that we don't have to do it ourselves...or something like that...

Also, about the acronym. Though Milf is sort of funny I don't see it as the most natural acronym. For Macaddict forums the acronym was taken out something like this:
MacAddict Forums
or maybee like this: MacAddict Forums

So for the new forums it could be taken out either like this (if you consider the pipe as the letter "i"):
Mac|Life Forums

or, in my opinion, more naturaly like this this:Mac|Life Forums ie MaLF (as in MALK*)instead of MILF

Kinda overkill isn't it, an old poopforma 6400 ought to do.

Yeah, it's quite startling to think of people missing these things. A big new Conservative party launched in Canada with huge fanfare a few years ago, designed to overturn the political order and usher in a new age for federal politics.

I forget what the letters stood for, but the name was CCRAP.
