Is D&D the same as D&D? 2013-12-01, 13:15:11 I note that Opera has a new Group called D&D which stands for Discussions and Debates, not the other way round. It already has a few members, but I don't want to join just yet for fear of diluting our effort here.I note however that we have some spies there. .So can one of those tell us if it looks like a continuation of D&D or a lesser beast?Does it matter?

What gave you the idea that I would know anything about it?( other than the member list )Old group, created by a member who's been inactive for years, I don't remember what exactly the purpose was.

Hey.....Join, & make a positive impact on their future. Let them know that come March 2014 they have none. Invite them to taste the good green grass on [glow=green,2,300]DnD Sanctuary's [/glow]side of the fence! [glow=green,2,300]DnD Sanctuary [/glow] is here now, & it will not ignore their taste & need for freedom of expression well past March 2014!Simply said, don't ignore any opportunity to exploit Opera's decision to negate their freedom to associate!!! Oh BTW...........Tell them to invite their friends too! Quick Quote

Re: Is D&D the same as D&D? Reply #9 – 2013-12-03, 14:44:12 I suspect Facebook is like many other buyout rumours the last decade, manufactured for stock manipulation purposes. My impression of the Oslo Stock Exchange is that it is more Wild West than stock exchanges at large, and investors there have definitely not been beyond a little rumour spreading from time to time. During my time they had a stellar performance record of never matching reality. I thought the rumour of a Microsoft buyout was particularly rich. (At least Facebook would kind of make sense.)String's sleuthing skills struck a fumble. "Group started: Sep 2005" Quick Quote
