olracUK Group: Members Posts: 1683 Joined: June 2003 Posted: Jan. 13 2006, 15:03 Hmm, I did ask if anyone knew of any fun sites just before the thread was "hidden". I've found rathergood.com plenty of fun forums, plus silly flash animations and some great ska music. Oh - and I know this post is off topic, and the Mods here want to keep this site Mike related. I agree with them, it is their site to run as they wish. I and many others appreciate all the work they have put in for us to create this place. But, a community needs to play as well, to let off steam occassionally, if it is to work well together. -------------- The answer is 42 - but what is the question? Back to top

A nice huge graphic with "Men in Black" type guys walking, some blinking sprocket holes, and nothing to click on. At least  there were no pop-ups and it loaded fast. Reminds me of www.landofthelunch.com; a nice picture and nothing else. -------------- "In the land of the Dacotahs, Where the Falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak-trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." - Song of Hiawatha Back to top

hiawatha Group: Members Posts: 2391 Joined: Mar. 2004 Posted: Jan. 13 2006, 16:09 I tried, they kept flickering. Anyone who has moving tabs like this on sites needs a good course in web site design 101 and basic user interface design. The Kewabe guys who (I think ! ) design "tubular.net" or the Google guys could give good lessons. I'm glad they don't also design cars, or you would have models where the door handles slid all over the surface of the car. Very badly made web sites are just a pet peeve of mine. -------------- "In the land of the Dacotahs, Where the Falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak-trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." - Song of Hiawatha Back to top

larstangmark Group: Members Posts: 1767 Joined: Mar. 2005 Posted: Jan. 14 2006, 06:46 I tried www.allsparks.com and it worked fine. But the site, as far as I understand, is about the Sparks.

TubularBelle Group: Members Posts: 1487 Joined: April 2004 Posted: Jan. 14 2006, 23:52 C'mon you people, it was too generic, too simple, it needed to be more specific and make you actually think before you posted, thank God it's gone. Love games, but the challenge needs to be there. That was just a time and space waster. Sorry to whoever started it, just think it needed to be more specific, like hiawathas new thread. -------------- I hate getting up early. I didn't even realise there were two 6 o'clocks in one day!

Not all of us has the time (or the patience) to read numerous threads and posting of +2000 characters. I liked it, it gave me an excuse to go back to a forum with music lovers and it 'forced' me to read the list of new topics (since this is my starting page on this forum).

The much lamented Song Association Game. I do miss it. It was very amusing! It appealed to quite a few members here too. Yes it was 'generic' and 'simple' as you say Tubularbelle, but that was it's attraction, partly. What also made it good was that we all had this common and very strong link to each other in that we all liked the music of Mike Oldfield, and therefore our musical knowledge & diverse tastes were interesting. It made me visit the Tubular.net site daily & whilst there I'd read other posts I may well have missed. It helped connect people in a way. I also felt it was rather like the excellent, UK BBC Radio 4 panel game 'I'm sorry I haven't a clue'<a href="www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/clue/">here</a> or should I say 'antidote' to panel games!! Here the contestants (Stephen Fry, Graeme Garden, Tim Brooke-Taylor to name a few) take part in one game called Mornington Crescent & have to associate the names of London Underground Tube Stations and the winner ultimately is the one who gets to Mornington Crescent. The great thing is there are no rules - they say whatever they feel like but pretend there is a very tricky to understand structure to the game. I suppose it is English humour for you. The song association game also had this freedom from restraint and people from all over the world participated , so it must have had some kind of universal appeal. Having said all that I do understand it had to go. It was getting very big and word games don't appeal to everyone. But it is missed. And it would never be the same on any other website in any other form. Perhaps we could humbly ask if we could bring it back once a year? If we are very,very good and very well behaved?? -------------- ....second to the right and straight on till morning....

Maybe I should not have started the "what is your favorite song" one until months later. As I said, I thought up "favorite song" the night BEFORE the "Association" thread vanished, and I intended to post it without regard to the "Association" thread, as I thought it was something different. Now it is suffering from "song association thread association", when I intended it to be something entirely unrelated and unconnected. -------------- "In the land of the Dacotahs, Where the Falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak-trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." - Song of Hiawatha Back to top
