Out of curiosity, is it usual to close the backroom during christmas and new year's? Asking because last year around this time I still didn't have access to it in the first place![]()

To my knowledge, yes, it is usually closed at Christmas. I think once it was closed for a few days as a "cool down time", but I can't remember.
It's the Org version the Christmas Truce.
Darn, foiled my evil plan to post the Politically Correct Christmas Greeting there
Oh well, merry christmas to all .orgers!![]()
I always liked the "Christmas Truce" in the Backroom. I can stop worrying about coming up with the next pun for a few days and spend some time with the family.![]()

I forgot they did this, to bad I really had the potential of another thread going down the path of religion and its failings.
Whats a grinch like me supposed to do? I'll have to go to one of the other sites I frequent, Im sure they cant wait. Although the org does have Gregoshi, which cannot be substituded.
come on lets open it up and have a good old fashioned bile filled back and forth.![]()
There are few things more annoying than some idiot who has never done anything trying to say definitively how something should be done.

So does that mean I can post this?

Have you just been dumped?
I ask because it's usually something like that which causes outbursts like this, needless to say I dissagree completely.

Man, and there's some really good weird news coming out right now. Color me sad. How will Orgahs learn about the dancing vibrator scandal if I can't post it in its natural home?
See? religious truce
I was wondering what nasty thing I had done since I could not find it.![]()

Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.
I always thought it was done to save the servers.
After all, many more of us are off, have time, and the zapping of posts would slag the thing.
Besides, wasn't all the charm of the Christmas Truce its spontaneity?

A forum for discussion about politics, religion and other heavy subjects. In order to participate you have to request membership via User CP => group memberships. This is usually just a formality, and membership of the Backroom carries no obligations.Originally Posted by Jkarinen

have the rules changed in recent years, i swear i never requested access to the backroom?
Hello Furunculu5,
All current members also became Backroom members when this opt-in group was created. One can remove him/herself from the list.

How do you post in the backroom. It says no messages have been posted to me

Is the backroom closed for the entirity of the festive season (boxing day and so forth) or just christmas? Because if it's only christmas then i demand you wake up right now and stop living on American time. I'm getting very impatient and fidgety without my fix.
That is an incorrect assumption Mikeus. Tosa has the keys to the Backroom and he's Dutch.Originally Posted by Mikeus Caesar
