Here I had thought Snarkpit had gone the way of the Dodo when in fact it just got .neticized. Did it take anyone else nearly as long as me to figure this out?

Another returns to the fold.

It had me fooled for a while too, though I've been back around here for a couple of weeks.

I was either lucky, or had the forethought to have lep on my msn list. he informed me long before the switch was in effect. (while the .com account was in limbo last)

so... mayhap you should do so as well guys.

If natus hadn't told me on the server, I would be still staring at the snarkpit.com error 505 screen today.

Whenever the Pit went down, I hung around TWHL for the latest mapping gossip. From the forum at TWHL, I found out about the new URL on the first day the Pit was resurrected.

In fact, I was referred from TWHL to the Pit in the first place (by Captain P).

I spent many weeks going to Snarkpit.com twice a day, when somebody on the Fortress-Forever forums linked to snarkpit.net.

Learnt it on #snarkpit

It took me a while to understand that the pit was actually back even though the url had been posted a few times.

lep, could you compare the userlist to a list of people that have signed on since .net went live, and mail old regs that haven't found us yet? i'd be surprised if CCS is the last, and the filtered results might get past the spam police. [addsig]

Lep would have to send out, or post that list as he is not allowed to email so many any more.

Perhaps if we all emailed a few.

I always wondered why you shadowed that thread. Is it that good? I don't mind, its kinda flattering, but it just doesn't sound "Cash Material" somehow.

Enjoy the read bud. smiley
