***No Question Too Stupid!***

Heh, I jest!

Well mostly... you see this is something that has bothered me for decades. Well just one decade but you can't say just one or it doesn't sound like a long time.

This is something that bothered me for a long time.

I think I eventually worked it out though. Back in the day, before instant messengers, IRC was a popular place. When creating a channel there for forum users, the name Prophecy had been taken and so PH was used.

It became known as the PH channel and the forums followed suit and became the PH forums. The use of it after that was just habit and now we can't stop doing it

Why thought up Prophecy? (The name?)

**Ross** · 11-09-2008, 01:21 PM

I think the true origins of that are lost in the murkiness of time.

Pretty sure veng or CU just thought it sounded cool.

Good show, then could you please explain what "URAD" means??

I know it originated from the uFiS creature, and gets used for resurrected or double posts. BUT what does it mean and when-should-it/originally-was-it used??

*sits on play mat eagerly awaiting entertaining history story before milk and nap time...*

and remember, it should start with "once upon a time". & can it include dragons that win this time too???

**Ross** · 11-09-2008, 03:00 PM

Once upon a time in a sub-forum not so far away which was designed specifically for mindless chatter and jokes, a dragon devised a way to force people to keep having new mindless chatter and jokes.

This was how URAD was born.

Actually not a bad idea when it was still done in a fun and happy way. Kinda sad when it sometimes became a witch hunt and users were scared to post their funnies.

It was responsible for highlighting the search function though and for that all the villagers were grateful.

T'was a tale of daring and intrigue!! Thank you very much, my curiousity is now sated.

Just a quick suggestion. Couldn't the PH shop have a sorting tool? You the ones where they show Highest price to Lowest price and all that. Just an idea

It is a good idea!

And one which I think is there already

Find the product type you are looking for and then click on "price". Click again to sort descending / ascendingly.

This also works for the other headings (name, etc...)

Or have I got the wrong idea here?

**TWIC** · 23-09-2008, 01:28 PM

Wicked! I had no idea:burning:, and here I am for years going through the entire list! Thanks alot!

How does the rep system work exactly?

It works kinda like this.

Absolutely right!

Is there a specific question you have about the rep system though? It can be a little confusing as to how and when you get rep points and how much influence people have.
