Quango is a word synonymous with politics & business, especially in wales.
It means 'a group who answer only to themselves'.

I find it amusing that the shelf life for Dune websites is average of eighteen months, unless they are built and controlled by a certain friendship group, in which case they survive a bit longer.
Im not pointing the finger, its merely an observation.
An apology if my sense of humour is satirical enough to hit raw nerves. I'll try to tone it down for the good of community, but really when people push me, I stand my ground; and if they push me again, I push back. simple answer; honest debate is superior to grudge warfare.
resolve inter-tribal issues, all of us are going to be around Dune forums for a long while yet.

I don't know you, at least under the name you're using here, and I'm not sure that anyone else does, either. (We'll see if Pardot replies on the Blazes thread, I suppose.) Telling how you've been banned repeatedly from other forums seems, to me, a rather strange way of introducing yourself on yet another new one however.

What if they pushed through an Amendment making marijuana possession punishable by forced attendance at a recital of Sandworms of Dune by none other than Kev Comb-Over Anderson?

I don't know about that. It seems they've become quite adept at it.

Anyone know what boardware they were using over there?
I'm sorry, but not keeping backups at all is just stupid.

Well, neither did I, I only joined like 3 months before it went dead for the last time, and I hear it was half dead by then.

Read the canoptic jars posts here in the mythology fourm, or just look at NFD's posts on DN. He and Chigger got into it at DN a while ago, and it spilled over into another dead sietch called, oddly enough, The Sietch.
Not only is he nuts, but hes so crazy that most sane admins want his ass gone. But I think he was an admin at gholaforum.

Ah, so that's it. Well, that's a different issue entirely. Lament for a board's golden years isn't really the point, but at least I see now why this particular debate has become a sore spot for some.
Omphalos wrote:Whatever happened to Ivan? I think I saw him on the Sietch once, and on GF once or twice. Is he still around?
It was Dreamers of Dune. I regrettably gave its care over to someone who destroyed it when I had no more time to manage it.
I did have my archives of data, and have managed to resurrect at least parts of old Dreamers.
I am not going to go advertise that I'm the creator of DoD - but if it matters, sure, let people know. I'm embarassed what happened to DoD - I got too busy with my career to maintain it, I trusted someone I shouldn't have, and he destroyed it. I am going to get the domain back when it expires - I can't get hold of the guy who bought it (the fellow I trusted wasn't this Jerry Shields) - but I prefer the this site to remain The Sietch.
It's good to be back.
I've put together what I can from the old site - I had an old hard drive with all of the old avatars, which are here now...I've grabbed some articles and the Lexicon from the old databases. Unfortunately I'm not going to be able to restore all the posts in the old Forum. I may be able to piece together threads that people liked.
I also re-published my old articles from the site, put up a couple of new ones, and put the biographies and the Lexicon back up on here.
So yes, Dreamers is back...in a way.
