Gents:

What with the current and ongoing HUGE INSANE MONSTROUS SALES on the H/T line, I decided to take the plunge. I've got two on order for my personal education and use, a EMSHS and a fullered bastard. However, the prices were so good that I had an idea, a wacky idea.

I bought a spare couple of EMSHSs for a couple of my friends. They both like, in the abstract at least, sharp and pointies, but even I, naif and nimrod and novice that I am, know a lot more about swords than they do. Well, says I, why not invest a little and encourage their interest?

You could call me Johnny Swordseed, if you wanted to. Except that that does sound silly.

mrstabby: Been thinking the same - but the person that set up the page might not be there anymore and old code gets messy when not maintained. Might be a "repair subscriptions, destroy function X, repair X, destroy Y" situation by now - would mean a total overhaul. Nov 18, 2024 7:29:27 GMT

choseychas: Huh. Is there no fix on our side then? Or is it that you need to contact an admin since the auto system is down? Nov 18, 2024 3:58:50 GMT

eastman: problems with the forum software are the cause, not a goal to limit the club. There is an error with the software that messes up activities that require the sending of email. Nov 18, 2024 3:57:36 GMT

choseychas: That's what I figured, wasn't sure if it had become a limited club where you have to know someone to get in or what was going on. Nov 18, 2024 2:39:40 GMT

eastman: that situation has been constant at MyArmoury for the last 2-3 years Nov 18, 2024 0:32:06 GMT

choseychas: Anyone have any info on MyArmoury registration? Been wanting to make an account for a year or more (can't remember at this point) but every time I've checked they've halted registrations. Nov 17, 2024 21:55:36 GMT

alinkinthechain: I also do love Boston. I've traveled a bit and nothing feels as wonderful as that city to me. I'm lucky to live nearby Nov 12, 2024 15:28:16 GMT

txhighlander: Boston might be my fav. So much history, and clean! and great food. New York was cool for a day to see iconic landmarks Nov 7, 2024 17:00:22 GMT

blackngold: Dallas is the worst place in the country to fly in and out of. High winds can delay your flight by 6.5 hours and leave you sitting on the tarmac for an additional 2 (ask me how I know)... Oct 31, 2024 2:21:20 GMT
