New and Exciting changes are coming to Ironworks Forum in the weeks ahead.

Expect the Unexpected. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Yay!!!!!!

No hints LOL? :D

Lets see... what are the last things I'd expect to happen to IronWorks...?

-Ancient Aramic made compulsory language
-New mod introduced "Iraqi Dictator"
-All new member must pass the "Trial of Error" test
-Leetspeak aramic used in currentevents forum
-Pokemon Avatars
-Religious ban lifted
-On 9th of september will be a special Jorath Calar Day [img]smile.gif[/img]
-Ban on all animated Gifs in sigs... unless hey are Pokemon
-Expected New forums will include "Recipes", "Stamp Collection forum" and "Cowtipping"...


[img]smile.gif[/img]

Hmmm Arvon you are very close on a number of things. What tipped you of to the cow tipping ?

Wish I could tell but then Choc will kill me.....

Very exciting stuff [img]smile.gif[/img]

Nope, and IW isn't becoming a porn site either. :D (Choc in a g string ) HAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oooh! I bet it'll include more avatars! [img]tongue.gif[/img] Can't wait!

Oh well, whatever it is, my interest is piqued! [img]smile.gif[/img]

<font color = lightgreen>Everyone must post in color. [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img]

A chat room with streaming video for the freaks who have web cams.

Irwonworks is being incorporated and we are privy to a private initial offering of preferred shares before the IPO.

</font>

After an announcement like that, the last thing I'd expect to change is nothing at all.

Uh oh, the board is going to change colors again, and some of us remember what happened the last time that happened...Actually, how many here remember the old Ironworks board?

I do, Blueboarder here! :D LOL I remember back then it was HUGE when you figured out how to make a smiley code LOL, I so envied the smiley posters for so long until finally somebody posted a code list (Ziroc or Memnoch, or both?)

Rick James will become a moderator ?

Johnny is to become moderator of the new beer forum.

Damn I let the cat outof the bag. Sorry guys :D

<font color=skyblue>This will be the greatest thread to read for the next few days
or maybe even a couple of weeks. So many guesses, some will be close,
others will be down-right hilarious to just imagine.

Since Ziroc choc'ed down the porn site theory already,
let me just take another out of the game by saying that there
will be no new moderator by the name of Iraqi Dictator.
I am sure Ziroc will agree that I fill that position suitably enough. ;) </font>

Don't tell me, Malcolm Glazier bought this forum too? :rolleyes:

<font color = lightgreen>I found my way here just before everything went from blue to brown. [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img] </font>

I'm putting my money with Leggy [img]tongue.gif[/img] . I doubt anything will happen - except, maybe new smilies or the like.

Hmmm... what could be in the works? New avatars, perhaps. But that's dull and boring, really. New boards? Not too many new games coming out, though. The board will start shuddering and shaking as you look at it? No, it's not early April, is it?

Perhaps a new posting meter, that gives you an indication of your <strike>spamm </strike> posting rate... how many per day.

Perhaps Choc's finally tracked down the nasty rat causing all those board timeouts, and it's going to be publicly executed... I know I'd buy a ticket!

Perhaps Ziroc's just looking for ideas about what people would like to see, and he's going to take those ideas and make a fantastic new software package out of them :

Time will tell.... ;)

::glances around:: Are we moving? Because let me tell you, I just moved a month ago and have to move a month from now. If you're thinking of moving the board, I'm going to have to put the kibash on that right here and now.

Hmm... There will be no mod by the name of Iraqi Dictator. But will there be a new mod? I think I've been absent the last time a mod was appointed. Would there be so much pomp and circumstance?

New colors, perhaps? But what colors? New colors couldn't be it, otherwise my design genius would surely have been consulted.

You're going to send me a giant rubber stamp that says VETO on it?

Come to think of it, that would be pretty cool. I doubt anyone would take it seriously, but that would be pretty awesome. I'd never leave home without it.

"A ticket? For what? I was going seventy in a twenty-five per hour zone, deliberately running down the elderly? VETO!"
"What do you mean, I need to be 21 to get in here? Where does it say that? Let's see... VETO!"
"You're charging me HOW much for tuition?! VETO!"
"You don't know the difference between 'your' and 'you're' and yet you're trying to ask me out on a date? Let me see your forehead for a sec, would you? VETO! Thanks, now off with you."
"What do you MEAN, these seats are reserved? VETO!"
"You're tired of me going off on tangents? VETO!"

::wanders off, plotting::

What's the ETA for these changes? I'll forget to check back in this thread and then something will change and I'll be left out :(

That'd be a bitch! :D

Anywho...

*starts the slow "Chat-room" chant*

Chat-room, chat-room, chat-room...

First thought that comes to mind is a supportable business model, ie IW merchandise to help defray site costs to the members (at least in the form of direct donations), but I don't see that as likely, so I'll just say, Meh.

Come on, isn't it obvious already? Dada is the key word here. The message board will be replaced with the old threaded forum style, all avatars will turn into surrealistic artwork by Marcel Duchamp (with Ziroc himself sporting the infamous Fountain), and we'll all be talking about the various ways to interpret Nude descending a staircase No. 2 and replace all political debates (which are futile, hollow, disillusioning and rigid anyway) with discussions on the pornographic nature of Georgia O'Keeffe's work. Also, monetary donations will be done away with, as surreal interpretations and booger statues of dollar bills are where the real money is at, yo. Any self-proclaimed artwork will be criticised and broken down to its core of stickmen and bicycle wheels screwed on a stand, while posting manga-inspired 'artwork' will be likened to leprosy. Random, nihilistic posts will become the norm, while formulaic jokes and gimmicks are only allowed to be parodied in a surreal and offensive manner - just as long as they don't appeal to other posters in any conventional ways.

Can't wait!

Ironworks no longer needs donations?

ROTFL! Cowtipping board, Choc in a g-string, rat-executions, Iraqui dictator mods.... [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] *gasping for air* Nude descending... hahahahahaha! Oh my, this IS going to be a fun thread to read for a while!

Dang, no cow-tipping board and no we won't see the all-color font board or the beer forum, but this is fun and our lips are sealed on account of Choc would shred us if we leaked anything, but whoo! The suggestions alone are worth it!

Pokemon avatars?! ACK! NO NO NO! *shudder* I'll use Illumina's VETO stamp on that one! Yikes! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Well, you can forget about me giving a lapdance to every member that reaches 1000 posts. My mom says it's immoral.

Hmm... Ironworks changes focus from DnD games to leather fetish? The board, the posts, and the letters will all be in full 3D? The roleplaying forum will be in full 3D animation? IronWorks becomes a corporation and starts distributig games? IW becomes the official Baldur's Gate 3 and/or Fallout 3 website and gains the license to both games?

The Slybowytz finally got to you eh ? :D

Dunno who that is.. but no one bought IW.

Malcolm Glazier bought Manchester United not too long ago, Z.

Holy crap bob, lay off the crack pipe! :D :D :D

A crack pipe? Maybe. Or is it?

Hey maybe that was a hint... A Crack forum... holy hell... or maybe one of the requisite to become a mod will be you have to be on crack when scouring the forums...

Sorry, just still trying to guess by expecting things I'd never expect to happen here... [img]smile.gif[/img]

How would that be different than how it is now [img]graemlins/showoff.gif[/img] , I kid I kid, please don't ban me, ooh look at this [img]graemlins/nibbles.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/nibbles.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/nibbles.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/nibbles.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/nibbles.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/nibbles.gif[/img] :eek:

Glazier also owns the Tampa Bay Buc's and is in the process of building them new facilities at the cost of 31442566756767858888 dollars funded by tax payers. I say down with th e"Sports" regime!!!!

"Pipe" has two totally different meanings in french. ;)

Oh, I know, but that's not what the message refers to.

"Pipe" has two totally different meanings in french. ;) </font>[/QUOTE]Like what - a whistle? *innocent whistling*
