Welcome to the first issue of the "#p/g! Digest," eh. Basically, this is just gonna be someplace for people to contact all the #p/g!-ers at once, as well as a periodic mailing of the contents of RushServ's bulletin board (since hardly anyone reads the thing, and the rest dont' have DCC access). Should anyone want to post to this (or RushServ's bulletin board, for that matter) just e-mail me (with "digest" and/or "bboard" in the subject line), and I'll take care of the rest. Or, if getting one of these every once in a while will piss you off, then e-mail me and I'll take you off the list. Also, if anyone has a suggestion on how to improve the format of this thing, let me know. "Important" shit in this issue: John's got a proposal for a #p/g! movie night this Thursday -- for everyone to cue up "Strange Brew" that night (I'm not so sure about this, personally... it's a good TV night :) ) But, I guess let him or me know if you're interested. RushServ Bulletin Board Subjects: 1 RushServ 5.0 release notes [Letterman] 2 Thank-yous for RS 5.0 [Letterman] 3 Dan likes to test [AlBundy] 4 #p/g! movie night proposal [Slythex] 5 Post an ad here, $10 bucks [Slythex] 6 Buy Tim Hortons donuts! [TimHorton] ----------------------------------------- Yes folks, this actually is the long-awaited(?) RushServ 5.0. I have completely reworked the level structuring and level checking, and I expect there'll be plenty of problems with this. So, if you encounter anything out of the ordinary, please let me know (e-mail or rsmsg, whatever), and I'll do my best to fix it. Also, I've added a "#p/geezer" level for a few of you old-timers.. about the only difference between this and "p/g!-er" is the ability to get the bot to leave the channel -- not much else... yet. [Letterman -- reed@cs.odu.edu] ------------------------------------------ Just wanted to thank those of you who have given (and are giving) suggestions for RushServ's improvement. This thing wouldn't even be here without all of you. Plus, a special tip of the hat to John for helping overhaul the bot's personality, and Ross for having such a cool goatee. [Letterman -- reed@cs.odu.edu] ------------------------------------------ Here is the test post that Glen requested. [AlBundy -- comeaude@tuns.ca] ------------------------------------------ I propose that next Thursday night, at 9pm eastern, we have a mass viewing of Strange Brew. Rent it from your nearest video store and join the #p/g! gang as we quote and heckle the hell out of it. Watch our favorite dynamic duo as they battle the evil Brewmeister Smith. Beauty, eh?
