                        lol, hysterical to see this thread... was actually thinking about Ted and his cat tossing antics earlier today for some reason. i remember how he didn't show at the convention at the last minute, a group of peeps were supposedly going to stomp his cat-tossing ass at the show..

                          They were bought by Carpathia hosting. Ironic because Carpathia is the name of the ship that rescued passengers from a sinking ship, Titanic.

                          I just took a look at their site. Their plans seem pretty decent.

                                  I wonder what could have brought it up in your mind ;)

                                  To me it is one of those things that was so insane it was great to watch. I found myself once not thinking and asking a non-industry friend if he remembered the cat swining scandal before remembering that it was only such a huge story to our little community. If felt like it had been live on CNN every night for week.

                                    Can't believe I still have this image. From when they had some downtime due to a router failure shortly after the cat tossing incident.

                                            Was the original thread deleted? I could find ones about it but not the actual thread. It was 2003 btw.

                                              yep, classic GFY, comedy gold... the scuttlebutt was that Ted made it halfway to the show and turned back at a connecting flight after reading the GFY threads, lol..

                                                  And the way he tried to defend it was... well too much.
