Toadfish Monastery

Bob the Unbeliever here as well as there, allthough I went by the name of Humming Toadfish in the FSM HOT sanctuary.

(I had not chosen that name, when I activated membership here.)

Edit:  NOW, it properly shows me as Humming Toadfish ... Yaaay! *

(I thought I had set it up here as that moniker ...   )

For someone who's refused all communication, he sure has an odd way of communicating now.

I, too, have decided to take a hiatus from FSM forum, at least for now.  I shudder to think what the current Mod/Admin will be like, now that there's nothing/no one to hold her back ...

If she's still "top dawg" in a month or so, I'll be asking to have my membership deleted as well - and I'm only too happy to explain why.

I hope you'll be sticking around these parts, Sibling Chatty, as I, for one, rather liked the "enforced politeness" you caused to happen.  I always felt that you did it with an even hand, and treated everyone who stepped "over the line" fairly and - more importantly - the same.

If you end up becoming a mod/admin for another forum, please let us know (likely through here).  I, for one, would join in a minute ...

Hi Guys!

Did you know that Bobby's going ta have to take LEGAL ACTION against me for starting a "competing store" which I am not, nor have I ever PLANNED to do??

And then there's the "competing site" that I don't own, and that he's KNOWN about.

i just LOVE passive agressive people.

Somebody tell dukes to get on back in there. He and Cardinal Queequeg (who was reported as back on line tonight) should get along fine.

I never said a thing behind his back that I wouldn't have said to him if he'd ever answered an e-mail.

So, those who are going back...tread softly.

And Duke, you need to be very careful. (You, the guy in Hawaii, Duke.)

You're not making friends well again.

It was mostly a matter of locating the appropriate buttons and clicking them 

The classic PBKAC*

All seems to be working well, now, Thanks!

Evil spirits infected DreamHost DNS services yesterday.  This site was affected as well as another I have.

Sorry for the inconvenience,
Darren 

No big dealio.

I was a bit concerned that I had somehow managed an "end run" around the activation process, though ...

Maybe things "crossed in the mail" or something ... 

well, after some issues (I posted elsewhere details) I finally got logged in.

However I do not seem to be able to change either signature or avitar/pic.  Hmmm.

I had trouble with the first post editor I selected, and I am trying a second one - seems to have fewer issues with FireFox browser, so far 

Test post <smirk>

Edit:  obviously, I found the "profile" button - I was looking at the navigation bar on the left <heh>

And this editor seems to work okay with FireFox - at least it doesn't keep popping up the "FIND" bar whenever I try to type ' or / characters ... 

Late last night, I tried to activate with "Humming Toadfish" and waited for the activation e-mail.

I separately tested my forum e-mail (the one I use for forums) and it was working fine.

This morning, I still had not received the activation e-mail.  So I tried the "resend" but the system said "Humming Toadfish" is NOT a user.

So.  I tried activating again - this time, it said "Humming Toadfish already in use".  Interesting.

So, I tried to log in - "Not registered user"

So, I tried changing the password for "Humming Toadfish" and viola!  I got a "your password has changed" e-mail, but STILL NO ACTIVATION e-mail!  VERY strange!

So I tried to log in with NEW password:  "You must register" appeared, with an option to send the registration e-mail.  Which I clicked.

NOW I get the registration e-mail.  It had a link, which I clicked.  NEW error message: "This account is already registered".  Stranger still.  How could it be already registered as I only now, just sent the registration e-mail?

Anyway, I tried to log in again:  "Login is blocked. Contact the administrator" message.

How to contact the admin when I cant log in?  Silly, silly message IMHO.

So, I tried the chat for a couple of messages, and tried the login again.

NOW it works, but it still says "this account is already registered" .... 

Did I cause an "end run" around the security by pre-emptively changing the password before the account was registered?

Very weird.  But, I seem to be logged in now ...
