Off Topic Discussion / Restore Personal CGN History

« on: February 28, 2023, 09:39:07 PM »

How many recorded your CGN start date, post count and iTrader?

I know in the last Great Move (2005) most accounts were reset to the new start date and zero counts. I understand members could petition to have the previous start date restored  but I'm not sure about post counts (the Great Move was a couple of years before I joined). Any OG remember how it worked?

Off Topic Discussion / Spider causes man to trash flat, scream death threats -- police called

« on: November 26, 2015, 01:12:04 PM »

Even though CGN is down, we still have our enemies ... I can identify with this guy ...

http://www.cnn.com/2015/11/26/asia/spider-mistake-domestic-violence-australia/

"Come on mate, what have you done to her?"

Police were questioning a "flushed" and "out of breath" man who had answered the door to a flat in Wollstonecraft, a small harborside suburb of Sydney, Australia.

The booming sounds of a man shouting "I'm going to kill you" and a "woman screaming hysterically" had earlier echoed through the apartment block, sometime before 2.00am, Saturday November 21. The commotion disturbed neighbors, who were quick to alert the local police force.

"Where's your wife?" asked one of the policemen.

"I don't have one," the homeowner responded, after inhaling some air.

"Where's your girlfriend?" the officer continued.

"I don't have one," he said.

Unsatisfied, the same policeman pressed: "We had a report of a domestic and a women screaming, where is she?"

"I don't know what you're talking about. I live alone," the man protested.

The officers then told the man that neighbors had heard death threats, screams and the crash of furniture being flung around the apartment.

"It was a spider," the man tentatively explained.

"A really big one."

Incredulous, the policeman asked: "What about the women screaming?"

"Yeah sorry that was me," he said. "I really, really hate spiders."
