Subject: The goal of this board

Written By: ChuckyG on 01/04/02 at 06:19 p.m.

Is to hopefully move the "I just made my XXX post" messages out of the decade specific messageboards into a more generic messageboard... and a place to welcome new members

That being said, I also don't mind other system related things, or things that may appeal to regular users only. If you're a regular poster and you just started your own site on some topic (as long as it ain't no porno site) feel free to share, that type of thing..

Although, I also have to mention I don't want it to get too popular (ie. posts like "what's your favorite show, etc. should remain in the regular boards).

I should also thank Darla for suggesting I add a new board for this purpose (at least I'm pretty sure Darla suggested it, damn, I'm getting senile)

Just wanted to post in here before Hairspray. ;)

Good idea Chucky, or whoever gave you the idea.

Good idea!  It probably was Mystery Woman who came up with this idea.  She has some good ones!  :)  

I haven't made a 'this is my XXX post' on this board.  But then, I do try to keep my posts PG.  ;)  Since I'm not allowed to advertise my web site  ::), I guess I'm done.  LOL

OK, when I hit post #200, then I'll make it here!  I wonder if the ranking at 1000 is "Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs" or whatever Calvin's favorite cereal was.  (Please do not tell me if I am right or wrong, but my favorite thing about Calvin & Hobbes was the name of his favorite cereal…)

I agree, this is a great idea.  Since it isn't worth a whole new topic, yesterday I got to four stars.....YAY!!!  Thank you, now I will return you to your normal everyday life... ;D

This is a great idea for a board. Thanks a billion, Chuck.

Thanx, Chucky!  You work quickly!  And now that I know you're listening, there's a few other "little" things we should discuss...  ;)

Like how come I suggest the forum, but I don't get to be a Moderator on it?  ;D  (KIDDING!)  :P

But seriously, this should help those of us who want to post things that aren't exactly decade-related from clogging up those boards.  If it doesn't work out that way, you can blame me.  I don't mind, I'm used to it!

Written By: merry-beth on 01/05/02 at 03:02 a.m.

Howdy.  I have posted about 10 times or so,  but I thought I ought to introduce myself.  My name is Meredith (aka merry-beth).  I found this site by chance and love, love, love it.  One comment:  I can get a smiley as a message icon but not just in the message.  Could someone tell me how to do it?  (if you haven't noticed, I am not the most computer saavy individual).

Subject: Re: The goal of this board

Written By: Bobo on 01/05/02 at 03:08 a.m.

Hey Mezzers (if I may call you that, one of my friends is called Meredith too, and she doesn't mind.) I think where you see Disable Smileys, if you tick that box, and include your emoticon with the message, it should work. It works when I've tried it, so it should work with you too. Peace out.

My sentiments  exactly! :)  I am glad everyone is hitting their milestones but it seemed every thread was about this.  :)

Thanks for suggesting it MW! :)

Yeah, thanks a lot. Now when I make 500 I'll say so on here instead.

That should be when - today?

Subject: Re: The goal of this board

Written By: Bobo on 01/05/02 at 07:17 a.m.

If not today, then hopefully by Sunday night my time. I'm cranking up my posting brain to a new high of "over-active" just for these last two weeks - its been the holiday, and I've been enjoying this way too much.

Subject: Re: The goal of this board

Written By: Bobo on 01/05/02 at 07:20 a.m.

That said, the board has been going very very slowly the last few days.

I have no idea why...   Anyone?  cs?  langdon?   ::)

Subject: Re: The goal of this board

Written By: Bobo on 01/05/02 at 08:04 a.m.

Either way, I've been on here for a long time the last two days, maybe its because I've been continuously watching the board, as opposed to coming and going every 20-30 minutes, which is the norm, for me.

Hello Everyone!!!   :)

This is great! Neat! Stupendous!

I probably won't be on here as much as some of you, but It'll be interesting for sure! The 80's board is always my main stop.  ;D

I'm 1/2 way to 900!

I think that this is a great idea and I would like tp apogize for my post on the 80s board the other day.I usually don't post how many post I have posted.I will keep completly on the subject from now on.I also apogize if this made no sense.

Subject: Re: The goal of this board

I would also like to apoligize for misspelling apoligize. :-[

Are you sure you'd rather apoligize than apologize?

I may have finally found myself outmatched, if only by sheer volume if not sarcasm. I'm sorry. I've failed you all. But don't despair, there's a bit of life in the ol' girl yet. It just may take some work...

Langdon, "ol' girl" (ya, right), you have never failed us.  For example, I'm very impressed with the "subtle" sheer volume comment in your message.  Pure genius, girl!  ;)  And no pressure, but see what happens to this place when you go away for the holidays?

I just thought I'd call upon you or cs to comment here, because last time I started shooting, I kinda did it with both barrels and the guy never came back.  Wait a...  no, that would be wrong.

But I digress.

I don't believe the board has been slow, per se.
Most who've been absent have been sorely missed.
Darla, I've seen you lurking, but not posting. I miss you too, you know.  :'(
It's a bit overwhelming and boring to see the same person always posting and responding.
We need the rest of you to come back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

http://www.inthe00s.com/smilies/grim.gifSo, here it is, the day before Hallloween.

I've been watching horror movies for three days straight. http://www.inthe00s.com/smilies/nervous.gif     I've also been watching specials on the History Channel about the historical Dracula (who was even scarier than the fictional one).http://www.inthe00s.com/smilies/errrr.gif

And I come to the 'boards today to find that a topic thread has risen from the dead, and is coming to get me!!!!!http://www.inthe00s.com/smilies/smhair2.gifhttp://www.inthe00s.com/smilies/pfohnmacht.gif
