@BoXXoB its hard to believe that the old thread is not coming back as we had so many good memories stored in there, and as far as that rule is concerned it was never really enforced on us (signature participants). Im glad this Ann is back because this Ann is more like a second home for us (BoXXoB, slaman29, milewilda, jossiel and others), and I cant wait to discuss about HDF and others with you guys.
You can always go check the thread even if it's locked. I never have the chance to be part of the project and it seems good. Op should have check everything that would have been good to know and won't violate any and it would not happen in the first place but what choice the op have.
