Back to the future (of HSX); Five-Year Anniversary

Posted by: SenJohnBlutarsky on Sep 29, 12:30

Five years ago this week, HSX was teetering. The game's owner had published a closure notice.


Rather than send many years of trading down the drain and join the Peace Corps, a few HSXers developed a project (project Nothing Is Over Until We Decide It Is, or Stupid And Futile Gesture for short) to try to save HSX.

Many HSXers contributed in various ways (time, skill, money, contacts, effort).  A few -- including James and Clayton -- were indispensable and admirable.  Antibody was the stalwart, with able and cheerful support from the site's technical expert, Jeff.  Every HSX trader benefits to this day from Antibody's effort, skill, and character. HSX's corporate parent negotiated and cooperated with a group of dedicated HSXers, enabling the site to survive. 

The brotherhood of Delta Tau Chi encourages everyone reading this to celebrate HSX's long tradition of existence to its members and to the community at large, in the only way Delta House knows:

Grab a brew!  Don't cost nuthin'.


Faithfully submitted,

Thankful for everyone's work to keep it afloat, I don't check in every day anymore, but when I do it's always fun and appreciated! {nm} journey Sep 29, 12:37

Thanks to all, and especially Antibody, for keeping it afloat! Noah66 Sep 29, 12:46

Yes, thanks Antibody! I know we butt heads sometimes, but I never forget that this place only still exists due to your efforts. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Sep 29, 12:59

You can't suck up to that way to Antibody; only we can suck up to Antibody that way! {nm} SenJohnBlutarsky Sep 29, 13:54

I never compliment anyone or any thing that I don't mean it. I am a film critic, after all. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Sep 29, 14:16

The efforts and dedication are much appreciated! {nm} SirWinstonNewkirk Sep 29, 13:03

For awhile there i was sending 10 bucks a month or something like that; would that still help? 100 bucks a year or something like that? {nm} goodvibe61 Sep 29, 14:43

Does the GoFundMe still work ? I used it off and on and then eventually dropped off. {nm} goodvibe61 Sep 29, 14:43

Check in here almost everyday and enjoy the game. Thanks again for all who have kept this afloat. {nm} JayPrimetown Sep 29, 15:24

Thanks for everyone's continuing support! {nm} Antibody Sep 29, 19:15

Thanks Antibody, I'm 80 years young and this is my daily entertainment and obsession! tallbridge Sep 29, 20:16
