NerdZone is rebranding

[Mars]

Yes, you are, Mars, indeed you are.
I haven't even thought of the Latin order, as my native language is for me just the default.
You are spot on with those words. With a direct translation - word for word - it looks like this:

Oké Mars, dat zal ik doen, bedankt!
Okay Mars, that shall I do, thanks!

You've mentioned recently that you know a bit of German. That greatly helps when reading Dutch. In German the sentence would be:

Ok, Mars, das soll ich tun, danke!

oh thank you,@Hitcore , I could only fathom it because you said that Dutch is actually close to English, even though the Dutch words seem to be wandering in uncanny valley.
Hence 'dat 'did look like an uncanny 'that', and same for the rest of the words.

Goes without saying, that if I came across a random Dutch phrase, not knowing the context, I probably would not guess, unless I had some inkling about what it was relating to.
Yes, my little German knowledge did help. If you really think about it, you can find the similarities between German, Dutch and English; although the phraseology might be different. Let alone the grammar

Awesome! Let's continue about this in the Dutch meme thread and not give Retro any further reason to go absolutely bonkers about us going off-topic here, where he frantically yells "STOP IT!" at his screen!

Also pretty similar, is it not? Here the explanation:

Gosh what a scholarly and erudite demonstration!....A fitting example of 'a picture is worth a thousand words!'

No one is selling their values short here, where did you get this impression?

Regarding your suggestion highlighted above, the answer is No.
I mean, why make a special mention of welcoming neurodivergent people? Why not make a special mention of welcoming 'people of colour', 'gays and lesbians', 'down syndrome folks', 'Muslims', 'vegans'.......Get the gist?

Since inception, this forum has been non discriminatory and open to all, and the intention is to continue in this vein.
Any mention of a particular group of people or a particular ideology, would therefore defeat this intention.

My understanding is that you are quite the techie, why don't you start a forum of your own, dedicated to neurodivergent folks?

I do have this tendency to make everything about me @Mars , thanks for reminding me of that.

I say this in a sincere spirit, no sarcasm intended

AGREED!
I'll take you up on that, and feel all saintly that we don't give Retro any unnecessary headaches.
Anyway, gotta go shopping now, come back to it later. Ciao.

Do you intend to switch up the redirect with NZ to oldskoolforums as opposed to vice versa?

Well yes, obviously.

 

[Retro]

Hopefully Xenforo SaaS offering has the ability to do rewrites also. Otherwise, you will lose any link traction the site may have had.

hmmm... hope so. Might ask them about that, good point.

Indeed, I'd have to report you to management!

Oh damn, did it again.

@Retro sure thing, but you’d have to wait till tomorrow
