HABOTN 2.0 countdown begins

Hey everyone. The "new" HABOTN, which has been in the works for months, is going to be unveiled at some point this weekend.

It signals a major change in how we're going to operate here. While my primary focus will remain on making HABOTN.com a pool of credible and timely information, we're adding a proper forum to the festivities. Several of our most tenured posters graciously agreed to help me test the forum this week for problems, adjustments, functionality.

Things have been running smoothly over there after a rough beginning. I'm now confident enough to unveil the HABOTN's first-ever renovation.

See you at HABOTN 2.0 later this weekend.

UPDATE:

This will be our permanent home: http://www.habotn.com

This should be exciting. I wonder if it will have a special area to store Michael's goats.

8:21 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

And this site has too many puppet parts laying around. I would have Michael clean up after we leave.

8:22 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

And a real forum is exciting. I can see the threads now. Tubertalk is one. Tony Franklin and you might be another. Bumping chests with Trooper should be interesting. A thread to keep track of the number of times Chizik says day by day would surely be a must read. And the Eric Mack and cheese thread is sure to be tasty.

So is it now going to be the hafotn?

8:45 PM  
Blogger Peter Frankenschmidt said...

It's live...erase Jaygtate.blogspot.com and ass habotn.com if you haven't already.

8:55 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

It should show up as www.habotn.com, correct? I usually connect with the blogger address.

8:57 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

It hasn't showed up here yet. It will take time to trickle through the servers.

8:57 PM  
Blogger Peter Frankenschmidt said...

the habotn.com address is working for me for the new site. clear your cache.

8:58 PM  
Blogger Jay G. Tate said...

Here's the official HABOTN link: http://www.habotn.com

8:59 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

So far I can't connect to habotn.com. I get here at http://jaygtate.blogspot.com/

For those of you who aren't yet accessing the site at HABOTN.com, here's a (temporary) short cut.

I strongly suggest you set your bookmarks to HABOTN.com, though.

You don't need to get HERE any more.

I have requested registration at the new and improved lighter and less filing HABOTN.com!!! The place looks great, Jay!!!

9:07 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

Thanks Jay, the alternative solution works great until habotn.com gets updated on all the servers.

9:08 PM  
Blogger Jay G. Tate said...

I have cleared you, SFC.

To everyone else: I'll be at the computer for most of the night. I'll approve you quickly so you can play with our new toy.

Blogger API said...

I too have requested access oh exalted one. Shall we put our troubled past aside and enter into the new HABOTN arm in arm?

BTW, I read the terms of use, if I read it correctly allot of the old stuff we did won't be allowed on the new site.

9:29 PM  
Blogger Peter Frankenschmidt said...

API had a troubled past?

well, phooey.

Big govt finally allows access to blogger. Unfortunately, the govt does not allow access to the HABOTN 2.0 forums :-(

Blogger michael said...

What?! No THT in the forums?! This is an outrage! I'm writing my senator this very second. This injustice shall not stand.

9:27 AM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

Thanks, Michael! I'm sure with your help I'll be in the Forums tout de suite!

In the meantime, maybe I can get this thing up near a BEASLEY post!!!


j/k, JGT.

9:42 AM  
Blogger michael said...

Well if we keep chipping away at it, we can eventually turn the page here, THT.

10:30 AM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

in the meantime, I did take some liberties with the Arky SEC media day thread. I hope JGT doesn't mind.

Blogger Scott Chocolate said...

It's kinda lonely over here on the old blog. HABOTN 2.0 looks great. I've been cruising around over there for an hour or so while waiting for approval. Maybe I'll make it in time for the 3:00 induction ceremony. Btw, where is the ROF list posted over there?

11:30 AM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

Hi Scott Choco

Michael and I are here to keep you company. I'm here because the feds block the new HABOTN forum web site. Michael is here because he is Michael.

11:34 AM  
Blogger Scott Chocolate said...

So what's your plan, THT?

Michael, how's business?

11:38 AM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

induction ceremony?

I love math parties. As Michael can attest, induction is the mathematical demonstration of the validity of a law concerning all the positive integers by proving that it holds for the integer 1 and that if it holds for an arbitrarily chosen positive integer k, it must hold for the integer k + 1


... or is it the other kind of induction ceremony? Is someone going to have a baby on HABOTN at 3 pm?

11:40 AM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

chocolate - I plan on getting paroled at 4 pm EDT, and being at home with my ankle bracelet on by about 4:30.

11:41 AM  
Blogger Scott Chocolate said...

If it's either of those two types of induction, then I'm not going (unless I'm induced to).

11:49 AM  
Blogger michael said...

SC - It is "shots week" at the goat farm in Idaho. What started as a way of immunizing the goats over the course of a week back in 1997 has devolved into a drunken haze of tequila shots for 7 days straight. Although disease is up within the community due to the lack of immunizations, they tend to reproduce more as a result of the tequila. So it's all the same to me.

Never ask me about my business.

12:23 PM  
Blogger Scott Chocolate said...

Michael, will you send one of your goats over to HABOTN 2.0 with a message asking JGT to approve me? I will pay you (or your goat) in tequila.

12:38 PM  
Blogger Scott Chocolate said...

Apparently I've been approved. Cancel the goat mission!

12:40 PM  
Blogger michael said...

Congrats THT. You made the RoF!

3:06 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

I bet it was my Arky Media Days thread post frenzy today that got your much needed vote.

Next time I'm in Idaho, I'll buy your goats a round of tequila shots.

Been out of town on a mission and I come back and everybody's gone!!!!

I've signed up but haven't heard back from Jay G yet! Geez....now I'm getting a little paranoid!!!

You are missinit! Don't worry, JGT will look after you. I'll see you at HABOTN 2.0 soon!

I promise to play nice if somebody will let me out of this room.

Feng, you common whore, you have been left behind. Sorry.

Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

so, continuing the story started at 10:01 a.m on this thread...

Nubs decided he need a playmate, so he adopted a 4 legged dog from the local animal shelter.

12:43 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

the dog was a bit hyper at first, and thought that Nubs was a stuffed toy and not a real live bear.

12:44 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

Nubs suffered a few bumps and bruises as the dog would grab Nubs and toss him across the room.

12:45 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

However, it wasn't long before the dog calmed down and learned that the immobile Nubs could use a little help.

12:46 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

The dog became Nubs's BFF and even learned to carry Nubs to the bathroom and to the dinner table (where of course, Nubs had to be placed on the table in order to eat, seeing as how he had no arms or legs).

12:47 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

The mailman came by one day and saw Nubs and the dog playing so happily together.

"What is your dog's name?" asked the letter carrier.

12:48 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

BEASLEY!!!!!!!!!!!


shouted Nubs.

"Why that name?" asked the letter carrier.

12:49 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

"because I want to be cool like Scottie B and the Great People of KENNESAW, GEORGIA!", replied Nubs.


And, indeed, he was.

I think that it is great that you are trying to make a proper site like price per head services and I hope that you can make a space for the great community that you built here.

But I thought you taught that deaf and blind girl how to talk that one time????

11:46 AM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

That girl was a female. She talked instinctively.

8:46 AM  
Blogger michael said...

But still. Jim Philips thinks that it is great you are trying to make a proper site like price per head services.

10:26 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

Jim might think differently if he was aware there is a price on his head.

8:03 AM  
Blogger michael said...

I don't know if the price itself would shock Jim more or just that someone wants his head. Probably the head part, but we may never know if he doesn't come back to the thread.

4:01 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

Oh he'll be back, alright. He'll be headless, but he'll be back.

6:39 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

ok, maybe he won't be back. But I'm sure Ron Mexico will be here any moment.

5:59 PM  
Blogger michael said...

What if Jim Philips IS Ron Mexico? Maybe he doesn't come around anymore because of the price on his head?

10:33 AM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

yikes, somebody better tell Jim/Ron Mexico that there is a price on his head. His dad was an all-american on the 1957 national championship team.

9:09 AM  
Blogger michael said...

So are you saying the only reason we should tell him is because of his cool dad?

12:07 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

he's a dentist, for crying out loud! Why else would I tell him?

How did you get into the arena with a stick? They don't allow any weapons at the beatings.

Well, now it is. I realize you wouldn't consider things ruined if they were still even.

yep. It's ruint for good. Or was.

Well, not ruint for good. I assume you consider 12345 an acceptable odd post, right?

2:54 PM

Indeed I do. We'll get there.

9:48 AM

Actually we won't because of the post limit.
