Are any of you guys members? It's basically an invite-only site/board for 'the elite' (but really people who aren't retards). It uses a command line-style system akin to old school newsgroups to communicate and is based around no hand holding. Due to this the community consists of (well if you're a geek like me) pretty entertaining people. The commands are easy to get used to and it supports everything like img/youtube embedding etc.

I applied for and recieved about 50 invites which I can give out. The invite period is only open for a couple of weeks at which point it closes off. If it sounds like your cup of tea then email in trust and I'll send you an invite code. There's only 1 invite allowed per code (and I'm just given a list), so I don't want to waste them on people spamming accounts.

Seems interesting. If you don't mind could I have one please? Thanks =]

Sure, will send you one via trust.

Change of plan, if you want one you're gonna have to email me through trust as for some reason websense has blocked trust.overclockers.co.uk on my laptop, but not the forum. ._.

Those that have emailed should have one, had about 8 emails so far.

Did you get my email? I've not received it yet.

Yeah I sent it to your email that starts with cb, would you like me to send it to the one in your sig instead?

so let me get this straight.

its an invite only forum for the "elite" who arent "retards" and you come to ocuk and hand out 50 invites to random people?

I like this community :rolleyes:

, sue me. If I send a code to a retard they won't last 5 seconds, which is the entire point. The people on this forum are generally computer literate and capable, so I figure they would fit in well. If you see me post this on digitalspy or mothersweekly forum, then by all means troll on in.

I'm home now so I'm just sifting through the rest.

It's fairly crap really. It's not pro, it just seems deliberately unfriendly to use for no real reason.

I'm not saying it's difficult, just pointless.

I really like the interface, then I guess I'm used to using purely my keyboard/typing to navigate. Years of working with command interfaces I guess.

I was using command line interfaces when you were pooing in your nappy, it's still crap.

Opinions are super.
