Where?
No idea about Hack, but Martin is once in a while in Office/VBA
Hack's last login was on Jul 15th, 2016, it has been a while, I hope he's okay.
It's a worry that they've been around so long, and now, they're not. Hope they're all good!
MartinLiss is still about. He created a thread recently about an issue with a USB hub. I replied and made a joke and he down-voted me with the following comment:
I guess he's all business these days. Can't blame someone for reaching a point where they don't really want to hang around answering the same questions over and over though. You'd think humour would help. :rolleyes:Quote:
I was asking for help, not "humor".
Martin gave me my only ever warning on VBF. (I probably deserved it though)
Was it for making a joke? Seriously though, I've received a warning or two and I wasn't especially outraged at them either. I'm not even that bothered by this down-vote but I was a bit surprised. Seems an odd thing to disapprove of. Maybe he got a notification that there was a reply and he made the effort to come see it and it was my dumb joke. For the record, he was having an issue with a keyboard on a Mac and I suggested that he get a PC. Maybe it was a touchy subject. :) He did put "humor" in quotes, after all.Quote:

Hah, that'd get you beaten up if tried it at the Apple store. Well, it'd get you a damn good scowling anyway.Quote:

I got a ban for a joke like that.
I wish I'd been informed of this "no humour" policy earlier. At least Shaggy will rarely get in trouble for that, as his puns definitely don't qualify. ;)
I qualified well enough to get banned for one.
Though, now that I think about it, that's pretty much the standard reaction people have...They just usually can't do anything about it.
You'd be jailed for some of them, if I had my way. ;)Quote:

As long as you confine yourself to a solitary pun, we'll be ok.
I get solitary confinement just for one lousy pun?
It's just not my cup of T.
I've got 911 on the line. Don't make me do this!
Isn't it 611 down there?
000 actually.Quote:
