I'll volunteer, but not sure I'm any use out here. No OED, and I have the small hand held electronic game, but not sure that's what you mean as it only does 9 letters. If there's any way I can help, then count me in. Never once played Hyper, but when I do get round to it, I can see how frustrating i...

Although I agree with Ben above that a semi-regular bunch of tournaments with striated flights would serve the purpose just as well, probably. (Unlike Ben, I'm willing to throw my hat in the ring to help organize such a thing.) Let's see whether people want ratings-restricted tournaments, shall we ...

Ok first dunce reporting in for the U800, looks like I'm winning so far!

I only ever look at the Apterous board, would not have known this was here if you hadn't said in chat, needs a topic on the Apterous board.

Maxine Silkstone

I stand corrected, must have read it wrong! Blonde head on that day.

Hi Charlie, Another Gremlin for you. Round 7 (I think) of the duel this morning. The conundrum. Once it was done, it didn't show on the scoreboard and the whole thing stuck, I had to close. The duel is still in my challenge window but haven't managed to restart it yet. You really do have a conundrum...

Maxine Silkstone

And there was me thinking it would be technical!

Speaking of rapid fire numbers games, could you change it so that the cursor's automatically focused in the declaration box? Just bumped this up, coz I agree, is it possible? I have a technology addict husband and consequently a cordless mouse (that eats batteries and 'walks across the screen all b...

Can anyone tell me how to get a screenshot into here, it's saved on my desktop as a jpeg. Where do i go from there? It's obviously something to do with Img button up there, but the 'http://image_url' in between the brackets means nothing to me. And if I just paste nothing happens. Perhaps someone sh...

You're basically a fucktard. A cunt fucking fucktard. Very eloquently put Jon! A real example of the literary minds we have here, that can argue their case with the huge vocabulary at their disposal. ;) I spent an hour composing a huge rant on this lot, only to scroll back and find the above, I tho...

I did think a better solution might be a limited DC list for junior so those of who can vote can still enjoy them - I know it would detract for me if some of them weren't so brilliantly OTT. If kids decide to play the adult version they'll have to take what they get! Now that's a good idea! But I b...

Back to the thread...
Best Apterous word so far

Rococo

Didn't think much of it as you can imagine the set of letters that spawned it, but apparently according to superstats it's an original! I feel so clever now!

If Man Utd sold season tickets with the promise of entry to every game that season and then asked for £20 for entrance to the last game of the season, would that be acceptable?

If it was an extra, special game, not advertised in the original programme, yes I think so.

I hadn't even figured out how the 'quote' bits got there! but i got it sussed now on another thread, thanks Ian. Trainee Geek here

Just an idle wondering … I can't be the only one that wonders...Why 'apterous?' Charlie, you obviously know it means possessing the power of flight, I may be a bit thick but I don’t see the connection apart from an uncharacteristic romantic notion of getting the whole thing off the ground (which ma...

Yes the original post on the news pieces says it changed from Netdown to Apterous. How disappointing I was hoping for a much more interesting story than that.

Maxine Silkstone

While the site was down I went a wandering on the old news pages, and note that at some point last September you decided Brian Blessed needed 'toning down'. Now as I was an unenlightened non aptoperson then I have no idea what he was like beforehand, but he and good old Will Shakespeare do make good...

Errr, the duel has been withdrawn from the duel for now!

Have we been naughty Charlie? No duels today coz it's a Monday AND the first of the month? (Pinch, punch by the way).

Maxine Silkstone

Is there any way to ditch 'dead' games from the challenge window? I have three dead ducks in there now and there's no room to see real challenges anymore on this poxy little monitor.

Maxine Silkstone

Probably been mentioned before, how about a handicap game? This would allow a lower ranked player to compete with the big guns: you give the lower ranked player a +18 headstart or the higher ranked player starts on -18 before the game starts, for the 15 rounders (maybe +15, as +18 may be too big a ...

But I don't think i've got the hang of this 'box within box' quotation lark.

Sorry, but i wrote a reply to the previous one thinking they were talking about me (I'm Max in everyday life) then I realised (embarassingly) they were referring to the other Max and had to delete it, but it wouldn't let me delete it completely, so I had to leave a dot, if you know what I'm doing wr...

Bravo Charlie for the new Junior Game option. My lad gives it a big thumbs up. Very nice of you to include the sproglets. I, however, am gutted coz now it means I gotta share my Aptotime!

Maxine Silkstone

Thanks Charlie! Sex change reversals too!

Don't know if it's possible, but it would be nice when signed in, to be able to mark yourself as 'busy' or 'away' for those times when the doorbell goes, or the dog needs to go out, or the kid needs algebra explained again, and you really don't want to sign out in case you can't get back in again.

Well I only had about a week of the old one before it changed to the new system (halfway through a duel by the way...first numbers old one, second numbers new one, arghhh!!!)

Hi Charlie, Just a tiny glitch, one of Prune's words seems to have mislaid itself in DC! They reckon we missed a nine letter word SIXTEENMO! Ask Oxford never heard of it, and the anagram mixer uppery thing can't make anything of it either. DC having a blonde moment? Game was with Ziggy at about 3.30...
