                        How about we all use are massive skills and intelligence to attempt to contact everyone missing from Snarkpit between now and New Years Day to see if we can get one massive get together between now and then?
I figure that between IRC, ICQ, MSN, E-Mail, Word of mouth and a whole slough of different methods we should be able to get ahold of nearly everyone left alive.
It would be nice to see Scary Jeff, Gollum, WildCard, Dietz and all the rest here in this thread saying "Hello"
Send the link to this thread to anyone and everyone you know to come here for a hopefully long awaited gabfest.
                                            
                        There is no history until something happens, then there is.

                        Maybe I can tempt Gollum back out with another thread about creative writing...

This seems like the perfect set-up for the second coming of Orpheus...

                        What I meant was: this is the perfect time for Orph to come back.
I think its a good idea.  I hope you don't think I was trying to undercut it.

It would show a little more faith to allow us to decide your value. I admit, many of us are about as useful as a bedpan with a hole in the end. I for one do not see many completely useless members.

                        Hi there gringos! Seems like a nice idea to inject a bit of community festive spirit into the Pit. I'll be around a lot more as of the 22nd - i'm heading home from sunny (and rioty) Australia due to lack of cash and car :razz:
Let's see who else surfaces for this. We should even invite progamer777 as a gesture of goodwill.
Actually, scratch that last idea :razz:
Edit: and hey, making a map would seem like a good idea. I'll finish one eventually, I swear. For now I just hold sway over that vastly underused server, pfft.

                        I contacted at least 4 members via MSN messenger today. I hope to get a hold of more soon. Anyone else?

                        Why are you people so jolly? One more year has gone by. That's one less year until you kick-da'-bucket.

                        We should get Rugal back, or whoever that angry bastard guy we banned 8 or so times was... That would be funny :biggrin:

                        Rugal was an evil, evil man that constantly tried to sabotage the pit. We kept banning him but he kept re-registering and abusing everyone.
He made more of a fool of himself than anything else, and I'm a poet- yes, I do know it. :razz:
As for obtaining MSN's french toast, you should notice at the bottom of everyones post is an msn icon- you can add people with that.

                        Well I haven't seen Alien_Sniper (I know he renamed :razz: ) around for a
while, or $loth for the matter.  Then again, I haven't been around
the forums myself  for a while so they may be here and I don't know :x

                        Ah, that's a shame. You didn't really miss much - just a lot of people
