It was key to the 'wiki comedy' ideology.</p> <p>But then I got an awful one from Oxbridge about damp cakes. So on balance, I'm glad that it's gone.</p> <p>By the way, how do I delete my account? Presumably that's possible? And can I have all my old stories deleted from the archives? </p> Duff on "Direct Messages" http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=72647#post-213270 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 22:12:43 +0000 Duff 213270@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Ah, right I see. To tell the the truth I had thought as much and that it was more than likely a combination of all of those. </p> rikkor on "Direct Messages" http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=72647#post-213215 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 15:21:34 +0000 rikkor 213215@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I know. I got a lot of free, helpful advice from ID when my last dog was getting his hip replaced. Couldn't have connected with him any other way (short of stalking). </p> Gerontius on "Direct Messages" http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=72647#post-213150 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 09:53:02 +0000 Gerontius 213150@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>They did away with all that fancy technology.<br /> We use pigeons these days. </p> NewBiscuit on "Direct Messages" http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=72647#post-213149 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 09:44:47 +0000 NewBiscuit 213149@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Duff, don't listen to the silly posters above, they're just paranoid tin-foil-hatters.<br /> The truth is, PMs were originally set up so that GCHQ could keep tabs on people when they thought that they were talking in private.<br /> But technology moves on, Cheltenham found that there were more efficient ways of incriminating people that ticked a few management-speak boxes such as "reach" and "impact", and so the PM function in NewsBiscuit was no longer necessary. </p> godly1966 on "Direct Messages" http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=72647#post-213147 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 09:22:36 +0000 godly1966 213147@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Yes the former PM messages were being used by Tony Blair to hand out get out of jail free cards to suspected criminals. </p> Spartacus on "Direct Messages" http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=72647#post-213143 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 08:38:31 +0000 Spartacus 213143@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I heard that a load of 70s DJs had registered and were using the PM system to contact other users for inappropriate hugging. </p> Titus on "Direct Messages" http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=72647#post-213130 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 07:55:32 +0000 Titus 213130@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Forget any panic-mongering talk of the PM service having been used for drug deals. Relax. It was merely a communication facility used for organising terrorism, plotting world domination and the overthrow of civilisation as we know it. </p> Yikes on "Direct Messages" http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=72647#post-213123 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 00:25:38 +0000 Yikes 213123@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Hard to know - I heard a rumour people were using it to facilitate drug deals but I'm not entirely sure.</p> <p>Bloody inconvenient though - still waiting for the last 'delivery' and starting to get the shakes. </p> Duff on "Direct Messages" http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=72647#post-213114 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 22:04:35 +0000 Duff 213114@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Last time I was hanging around here there was a DM facility. What's happened? </p>
