Lots of errors have been happening on today's episode of AMHQ, like on the first Lot8s a emergency LF appeared, then after another LOT8s with a Silent LF, the AMHQ feed was showing a chair with as ScoreCast behind it, then a frozen Lowe's commercial

They are doing some playout system software updates today, could be the cause of it.

No if only Jim had the time to re record his lines in pirate voice.

That would just be brilliant  :rofl2:

This I have a problem with. They decorate the LF for this :censored:, but not Patriot Day on September 11th?! :angry: :furious:
I've gone off on a journey to be a moderator at another forum, but this place will forever remain home for me~

Considering they seem to do "fun" holidays on the LOT8s these days, I'd say 9/11 is anything but.

Looks like every holiday that is included on the "Holiday Countdown" wheel on the sidebar will have a special LF-decorated background.  Not sure why they include both real ones (like Fourth of July, Christmas, Thanksgiving) and other questionable ones (like Friday the 13th and Intl Talk Like a Pirate Day).  The Pirate Day one really gets me.  I mean, every day has a National Something tied to it.  What makes Pirate Day so special? :rolleyes:  I feel like TWC is trying to be a little too cute.  There comes a point when the cute attempts trump professionalism.  This, I feel, is one of those moments.

That is a sign of things to come, but that's about all I can say.  I like it too.

It sounds like you can't give details which is fine, I don't want you in trouble.  However can you at least tell us how close we are to that logo?

Well, I can't give specifics but you won't have to wait TOO long.
