Does This Hunt Thing Have an End??

No offence but IMHO it's about as interesting and embarassing as those basement dwellers who dress up as Gandalf and camp out to be first in the movie, or the ones who actually manage to find partners and have a Klingon wedding.

I know I can just ignore the posts, but now with those damn dots!!!

Flame me if you will, but remember... you can't spell flame without lame.
(actually some of you can)

God damn dots!!!!! ARGH!!
I completely agree....this is getting crazy....someone get the 7Up guy - he's lost his dot!!

Im wondering when it will end,
Getting abit annoying with all the dots

Yep, thoroughly pissing me off too now.

I could successfully avoid it when it was confined to the hunt forum but now its just plain annoying.

Die Already.

...gees...have a wee cup of tea, maybe a lil lay down...breathe deeply...think of calm clear ponds or something...

We need to find these rings and throw them into the fiery pit of Mt. Doom. Then they will be no more.

I agree!

Maybe that is why the site seems slow right now?

They are especially annoying when appearing on top of text inside a post! :bash:

Oh and the message window of my U2U manager! :bash:

It has been slower than usual today, hasn't it? Any Mods have the stats? I'm willing to bet these dots have kept quite a few typically active members off...

The dots have shrunk.

Enron,

This is what I meant:

AboveTop:Board
Based on XMB By Aventure Media & The XMB Group
Header data processed in 1.135 seconds
Page processed in 3.984 seconds
10 total database queries (6)

I attributed the quietness of the boards to summer vacation.

They are in the chat now. Thousands of them!:bash::bash:

LOL makeing the internet slow? NO KIDDING. My whole internet froze up on me on several occasioins. I think there giving virus's...

It slowed down my internet a few times but now it is back up at normal speed.

It was worse when the dots where bigger. Now that there more like chicken pox they dont really do much come to think of it i havent really seen any lately...

Well, how long to go now??
Glad those #in dots have gone now, i was pissed off like a monkey called Boris last night....scum

Now back to your (ahem) lives. Mountain Dew and Cheetos all round!

wahhooo!
Drinks on me

I found the ring, and I am wrangling the dots as we speak. I know you dont like them but many were badly lamed yesterday during the hunt by dot poachers and slamming laptop lids. So please remember to support your local dot adoption center, and please think of the dots.

E)The dots are your friend, dont be afraid, embrace your inner-dot.
F)The hunt is what brought me to ATS I love this place, the riddles and codes, have made me study history and read on topics Ive never discussed before. Ever read Sherlock Holmes, or some such detective book. - You know the things with words that contain knowledge. Its an excercise in thought. Seriously though many of us have spent a good deal of time in the hunt, and while I agree the dots should have been confined to the Hunt Forum, I think you comments were base and uncalled for. Take from it what you will.

And the Z said "Amen"

Thank you Zsandmann, couldn't of said it better myself.

And this, from a person who uses a comics icon like Alfred E. Neuman as an avatar, shame, shame, shame.



EDIT= to ad the (f)lame

Actually I liked the dots - it relieved some of the tension that was building on the Board and was a nice diversion.

My hat goes off to you ring hunters, you are all a pretty incredible bunch.
