Well... see... there was this crash [^]in the desert of New Mexico... Then Bob's disk-mates were carted off by the Army for medical experimentation, but Bob was carried off unconscious by a roving band of friendly Hamsters.... Bob walked dazed and upset throughout the country with his hamster friends hiding from everyone until they finally found a peaceful home at CodeProject.
You can still see the tears in the one eye for his lost disk-mates....
P.S.... Every now and then the US Army tries to break into Code Project Servers to find the exact location of Bob to "repatriate" him for more medical experimentation. The Hamsters get upset, everyone hurriedly moves Bob to a new room in case the special forces squad breaks in.... and then everything returns to normal when nothing happens.... The Hamsters are very protective of Bob.

Actually I was just curious if there was an history behind its creation and design, but your explanation makes perfect sense!

You should ask about SheepGate from back in 2001/2001. It was pretty nasty, and hastily swept under the rug by CP admins. I think there's even a video.
Nish?

What can you tell us post-2001 members about it?
The network canned it after seeing the pilot. Said it reminded them of "Wormhole" Extreme", but with far too much wooly baaadness for a show in that genre.

That's a pack of lies. You also said you burned the only set of negatives.
