Hi all!

Not all of you know me, and some may be agnostic with regard to my existence, alizziest even, but I do exist and I’m so sorry I’ve been an absentee landlord for so long! Life got impossibly difficult, and I’ve been barely keeping my head above water for quite a while!

However, light is definitely visible at the end of the tunnel, and I have good (belated) news which his that Vincent Torley and DNA_jock have kindly agreed to join the admin team at TSZ. Thanks so much, Vincent and DNA_jock!

Vincent Torley is a name I haven't heard in a while.

Why not? There was a flying nun ( I always wondered if that was a euphemism for naughty bits).

But priests don't have hats that are vaguely wing-shaped.

(And never mind that the wing-shaped hats aren't sturdy enough or firmly enough attached for that, but anyway. )

Mulling's uses the same logic to argue for the factuality of the resurrection. He keeps saying that there were 500 documented witnesses and that this is overwhelming proof. I repeatedly told him that there was not 500 documented accounts, only a single documented account that claimed there were 500 witnesses.

keiths' behavior at TSZ reminds me of a line from a Peter Wimsey novel: "Every cock will crow upon his own dunghill." keiths seems determined to make TSZ a dunghill, and his own, his very very own, from which he may crow and crow! (of course, farmer Lizzie may come along, chop off his head, and serve him in a casserole - you'd have to cook him at low for a long time to remove the bitterness - but let's wait and see.)

I'm being cranky about TSZ 'cos I really liked it, and I admit I am a lurker who can't be arsed. But the execrable J-Mac has a shitshow post up titled "What has TSZ accomplished? 7 years and counting". At least Lizzie was fucking trying, J-Mac. What the fuck have you done?

I agree with these conclusions. I do not go along with the view that human evolution has proceeded from a crude primitive condition to increasingly sophisticated modern culture. I believe that some very ancient human cultures have matched and even exceeded modern humans in their technological sophistication.

I’m fairly confident this post will generate much criticism. I look forward to this so long as it relates to the evidence and an attempt is made to back it up.

“Forbidden Archaeology” is a very large book that took 8 years of research to produce,so I would say that they have amassed a fair amount of supporting evidence. Some of this evidence is mentioned in the videos I linked to.

And the judges say technically charlie doesn't get those points.

Joe G raised a proper question in his thread. He wonders if something is up with TSZ, as when at least two of us, he and I, navigate to the site it renders as a gray page.

Has Dr. Liddle finally had enough?
Have keiths and Patrick gone rogue? If not, how many comments blaming Alan will be enough to satisfy them? (trick question: no amount of lambasting Alan is ever enough)
Did British Telecom look in and say, "Okay, lads, take a break. Get some fresh air."?

I hope you and all other members do. It's a simple problem. TSZ is running with an out-of-date version of PHP and an incompatible update has crashed the display preventing anyone from using the dashboard to disable the plugin. It just needs the PHP version changing. But only Dr Liddle has access to the server (or can raise a ticket with her IP provider) and so far, I've not been able to contact her.

In any event the data is safe.

By the way, out-of-date PHP is something to worry about. And I hope that the admins all have very strong passwords.

Thanks. I have a test site and usually try out modifications before implementing them at TSZ. I didn't realise incompatibility between site-chosen PHP version and plugin could crash the site rather than just render the plugin inactive. Lesson for me: :(

Incidentally, we are on a very old theme, twenty-eleven, that crashes if I try the latest version of PHP. It's fine on 5.6 which, I think, is still supported.

Re passwords, isn't the idea to have one that's hard to remember but easy to break?
