  • Billy, Barry and Garry Email (Remarkable)
    Hi all,

    First off, I noticed what I think is a weird inconsistency in the English and Dutch language.. In both languages it's common to say that someone is sitting "in front of the TV" and also "behind his computer". I think that's weird, being that in both cases, the images on the screen are facing in the same direction.. It might have something to do with the position of the observer, but that too is always different. Forgive me my pointless ponderings, but I'm glad to have it off my chest.

    Whenever I'm staring into space, I'm probably thinking of something stupid like this.

    On an entirely different note; Syrinety and I went to Ikea yesterday. Although we really need a bookshelf, we didn't drag home a "Billy" this time. We decided to wait buying additional furniture until we have found a home. Instead we got some kitchen gear, like pots, pans, stainless steel mixing bows, and a cool looking fruit bowl. I'm very happy with our purchases and can't wait till we finally get our own place.

    We also brought home two plush mice, who we named Garry and Barry, and are currently residing amongst our duvets and pillows. I do hope that they are indeed both male mice, because two of these vermin are enough for my taste.

    Thats all for now,
    Have yourself a nice day,

  • Just an other great idea.. Email (Remarkable)
    Would you start a company, just because you thought of a great name for it, along with a fresh business concept..?

    Syrinety and Moonslave where joking around about funny names for websites a while ago. They came up with a great name for an online store, and Syrinety told me about it. Jokingly, we went on developing a business plan, and I checked to see if the domain name was available. It is, both in dutch, and for the english .com translation. So we have 3 friends, sharing what seems to be a great idea... seeing an opportunity.. having a business concept that is new and refreshing... a possibility for starting a great business.. and what do we do with it?

    Nothing, what so ever! .. It's actually quite a while ago that the girls first came up with the name.. and we haven't been talking about it since.. But I do think about it from time to time. I keep thinking that it's good that I haven't decided to invest my money to start a company based on a joke.. but at the same time, I can't help wondering what could have been..

    You understand of coarse that I will not unveil the name, since there still is a change we might wan't to claim the domain in the future.. So besides the fact that we will have to deal with the feeling of doubt, regarding this issue, we have also lost a great joke.

  • No downloads anymore.. (almost) Email (Remarkable)
    Since the recent hacking of this website, I have been thinking about how this site should be rebuild. I've decided to turn the rudder on this more or less dead forum community by completely removing everything that had to do with RollerCoaster Tycoon 3, including the featured downloads. From now on the Remarkable Forums will have a more general nature. The only RCT3 CS downloads that will be available from this site will be my own projects.

    I'd like to recommend the following sites to download RCT3 Custom Scenery:


    I'm very sorry for the inconvenience.

  • What the hack? Email (Remarkable)
    Hello and welcome back,

    Looking at this messy website today, you might think a bomb went off here, at the remarkable forums. And it kind of did.. A couple of days ago, the forum server has been hacked. I honestly don't know why anybody would hack our tiny, sleepy community, but I received a message from my web host provider that someone had uploaded and installed trojans and backdoor hacks. It seemed that the only way to be sure all the hacks were removed, was to delete the entire server. Unfortunately, my backups where kind of outdated, because I made a lot of changes online, directly on the server, without having a copy on my harddrive. It will take me some time to sort things out again.. and I might decide to leave stuff out entirely..

    I'm sorry for the inconvenience,

    Mark
