Excellent - an IFU where I can spread more dirt about the pasta-prophet!

[Bruder Cuzzen]

Not a problem with me AL , I still remember my outrage after reading a certain thread about a year ago , that has recently vanished .

Afterwards I felt like giving all the unmentionables a view of the truly hideous troll inside of me . I haven't forgotten who they are , they have not changed on iota , perhaps their mothers still like them . Fortunately many new members are mature , civil and have a decent sense of humor .

It seems they are the ones that run afoul with Adolf and her henchmen , they face such rudeness at times for offering an opinion, little wonder the membership list of over 4,000  has less than 100 active members .

[Sibling Chatty]

ACK!!

Less that 100 actives?? 

My, how the mighty have fallen...

[Alchemist]

Well - anyone with dogs in their avatar and quotes by Terry Pratchet is fine by me...
here comes the but
100 active posters is pretty damned good. If we get more than 10 online at the same time (ooh - poetry) I crack open a bottle of wine

Ah bugger! I am so pissed off about CoFSM.
I'd share some of the emails Bobby and I have swapped - well, I won't 'cos they were private - but the Reporter thing really pissed me off!

She asked us to answer some questions (CoG) - some of us did! Then Bobby - who I said she should ask - HIM! All about Bobby!

Damnation - ok - where are the threads where I can't stick the knife in?
Sorry again - just in a ranting mood about Mr Taco

[Griffin NoName]

I think of active as having posted recently, not as all being online at the same time

Now someone define "recently".

[Alchemist]

@ Griffen
Oh hell - I really do need a big placard with my meanings on them...
The posters on line was aimed at my little band of daft buggers (Church of Google) - not this place.
Sorry - no offence intended!

[Griffin NoName]

No, no, I was referring to that other other other place Alchi !!!  LOL

We are just as select here !  Well more so perhaps?  I think the CoG has a high member count?

Now, we could get into percentages of membership posting at all...............  hehe.

I'm hoping some the very early pirates come  back on so I can show them in here . I wonder where Usher and the rest of the " 1st season pirates " (summer/fall '05 ) are in the web ?
I think I "met " most of you late  " 2nd season " (late winter '06) with pachy , E , kephra and blue .

The forum get some spikes and then the newbies go somewhere else fairly quickly. I think there are about 2 or 3 doz. people who are there posting daily or weekly .That includes us pirates .

Well, I DID find out what happened to Solipsy, one of the most vibrant talented people I've ever come across online or in real life. She was the embodiment of what our forum used to be. A place that was full of truly wonderful and talented people.

S. was warned off by Mr Taco with a 'cease and desist' threat, for trying to compile the Loose Cannon Scriptures - written by us forum members. She simply disappeared rather than tell anyone. I bet he was worried his revenue stream was under threat.

Did you wonder why none of the forum members ever got a single word into his stupid book? We wrote more scripture and mythology than he and his hired writers ever did. The only difference - we did it because it was funny. He did it because it was $40k, and still did a crap job.

Who the hell was JRR Blackwell? The birthday cake analogy WTF??

I love Pirates, but him...nope

[Swatopluk]

Take a look at the member list at TOP (sorted by number of posts) and you will find that except for the newcomer Rev. Rowan Redbeard (Duke² as I like to think of him) the top of the list is still exclusively old guard (most of them left and/or are here).

So you talked to her?

I knew that she had been sick when she disappeared off the forum, so I feared the worst.  Is she doing better?

I agree- how is Solipsy? She showed up here a while back for a few posts but nada since.

And a big and welcome hellooooooo to darling Al! hiya honey bunch
sorry I mean

ARgh you git

[Opsa]

You're very sweet to apologize for ranting and raving, but it's okay. That's what this thread is for. I'm glad you're here. I'd love to hear from Solipsy and some of the others, too.

[Bruder Cuzzen]

teripie popped up there a few days ago for a peek .

Sure did talk to her. She was spotted over at Dawkins Forum last year and invited over to HOT. She did a few posts here but went quiet again.

That idiot Booby threatened Solipsy for doing WHAT HE WANTED??

HE was the one that wanted an on-line Wiki of the 'collected internet stuff". Stupid sod, he had me, Solipsy and FusionTortellini working our damn asses off for HIS crappy-ass schtick, and he THREATENED her??

He's a bigger c-word than I though. Yes, I almost used that word. He's too rancid to be called a pussy, which is what I had been calling him in private.

What a total waste of protoplasm.

Damn, just when you think your opinion of somebody can't go any lower...

Oh, well. It's not like he was EVER gonna get another book contract. His editor on the first one wouldn't touch him with a 500 foot radioactive fork, and neither would anyone else. He's pretty much burned THAT by being such a jerk to deal with. (Mr. I-don't-have-to-communicate.)

He's brilliant. Really. A borderline personality as narcissistic as they come, with one piece of schtick that's now outdated because ID is a lost cause, and the RR knows it is. He's as relevant as a Pet Rock.

I'd love to have him tested by a good Asperger's/Autism specialist. Hell, by any credible mental health provider...
