My last s/n was epistrat1, but most old miscers know me as catshit.

BTW, I love this new layout, it should go along way toward keeping out the hackers and the shitpickers.

If by "misc" you mean all the sh!t that was going on in misc then by all means I hope not.

I've always loved Misc. I was at G.com before there was a Misc, when all of the freaks and geeks congregated in Bands/Artists.

Long live Misc....err, I mean, Offbeat!!!

Add my vote to that. While misc was different, it got old fast and since it was already out of hand by the time they instituted mods, there was little anyone could do to save it. I was a poster there for a lot of years and it's amazing how many of the posters STILL gripe about what happened and who did what to who even years after the fact. I don't expect anything will "get out of hand" here. There is a focus to the site again, and, while management is cool and understanding about the past, they also have things in place that should keep this site from going the way of the old one.
