Matt, only somebody who didn't experience the Orange Plague would ask such a question

Posted by: Broiler on Feb 18, 20:37 in response to MattW's post Will there be more purges?

When I think of ****ting my pants, I think Project Orange.  It was a nightmare. 

Some old school HSX rank based data KaiGee Feb 18, 16:51

cool info, thx for putting it together... {nm} Oleg Max Feb 18, 16:57

thx!..I'm sure this is what you meant, but just to clarify, I don't think Orange caused the accounts to be purged...it was a planned... tealfan Feb 18, 17:11

Yep, that's what I meant. Thanks for clarifying for everyone else. {nm} KaiGee Feb 18, 17:17

Will there be more purges? MattW Feb 18, 18:34

Long long ago, there was a site re-design which had an orange colour scheme. It was so eye-wateringly bad that orange is still a code word RogerMore Feb 18, 18:47

That would be Agent Orange. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2014 Feb 18, 18:51

I think the inactive accounts were inactive for years {nm} tealfan Feb 18, 19:25

Will someone care to enlighten us on the Orange Plauge? I know that was a period of a 'break' for me. {nm} funnybillypro Feb 18, 20:57

tried to Google a screenshot of Orange but no luck...Internet Archive didn't have one either...did Antibody erase it from existence? :D {nm} tealfan Feb 18, 22:41

Found this. RotoHockeyYTD2014 Feb 18, 23:06

And this. RotoHockeyYTD2014 Feb 18, 23:08

And this. RotoHockeyYTD2014 Feb 18, 23:09

neither of those are HSX Orange... pathetic {nm} RazorHawk Feb 19, 07:23

Here is a screen shot of HSX Orange (HSX has password protected the actual site) RazorHawk Feb 19, 07:29

ah thx! {nm} tealfan Feb 19, 12:20

It wasn't just a different look. A lot of social networking features were added. Some were well conceived, by most all were edzep - Port Monkey! Feb 19, 04:43

Remember during Orange when you earned H$ just for posting in the forums? eyescovered Feb 19, 04:40

Oh, I'd forgotten about that! {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Feb 19, 04:45

Schmooze points! (I hope those consultants still have jobs) {nm} RogerMore Feb 19, 05:12

I always figured the primary qualification must have been nephew to the CEO, or something. {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Feb 19, 05:26

Go home Orange! You're drunk! :) {nm} eyescovered Feb 19, 11:40

Remember that you could start a 'Fan Club' (precursor to today's leagues) and the manager would get money for each person that joined! {nm} RazorHawk Feb 19, 07:30

One of the better features was messaging between players. {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Feb 19, 07:59

I loved the way TPTB said that this was the way the game was going to be, get used to and stop ****ing. How long did that last? {nm} Bubba_Fett Feb 19, 08:02

HSX was down about a week to migrate to Orange... Orange was up for about a week... then was down a week to migrate back {nm} RazorHawk Feb 19, 08:11

It seemed a lot longer. I could have sworn it was up for three or four weeks. {nm} Bubba_Fett Feb 19, 08:53
