    I can remember this perfectly. Just 3 days later of my 8th birthday, on 15th August 98, we saw the news and... Wow it was very, very sad.

    Images of the bombing appeared on the screen, but that wasn't the most moving moment (since here in Spain we're customary to bombs on streets...).
    The most moving were the single-victims history (the ones posted here by Drew...). The woman pregnant, the spanish kid, the granmother...


    Sad, sad history.

    Anyway it resulted to be an excellent film, called Omagh. Highly recommended. It shows what's on the mind of the terrorists... Bastards.

    It will all remain the same, not a single message will be lost. The forum will be exactly the same as it is now, but only with the layout a bit changed and some extra features and other improvements. I also want to add a few new forums and change the current order.

    (for example, there will be a trading forum for 'half-official' material that can be traded through private messages or e-mail, and a bootleg forum for other artists than U2, those are the ideas right now)

    You're right about everything, but it's no use to hate terrorists. I think that's wrong. Just rage against the lie and replace it with the truth. That's all we can do but it will be enough.

  7. Originally posted by LikeASong[..]Alright. Great!


    I did a new edit
    And for example, as you quote a message now with multiple quotes in it (like your message), the text in the new quote will half be gone, that kind of things will be fixed.

    Well, I sincerely didn't want to make you angry or so. I only would like to suggest that I consider the best behaviour for humankind. I didn't know about your grandfather (really sad for that).
    Sorry, mate!
  11. Can we get a little bit ontopic now? Thanks!

    I didn't get angry at all. I only wanted to express my feelings.

    Of course. Terrorism-Sub-Forum closed now.
    A new idea for the forum: a Political Subforum!!
