You askin'?

Post by Gob »

Ok, who would/will you send a PM to at the CSB informing them of this place?

I'm thinking Crackpot is high on my list.

Yours?

Kristina?

Blueyes?

Scooter?

Pexxa?

Thistle?

Oldernwiser?

No Greater Fool?

SubHuman?

Aard Vark?

Beaglz?

Crux?

Dame Lac? ( she visits the CSB now and then)?

Darkblack?

Eddieq?

GrimReaper?

SamIam?

Probably would not actually invite any of them myself but feel they are worthy of consideration.

I've let Darblack know about the forum, by e-mail.

He's not posted or joined yet so I'm not holding my breath on that one.

The rest of your suggestions, all would be most welcome contributors I think.

I take it that you do not want the Board to be common knowledge?

I had no idea about that.

I know if it is publicised on the CSB, Steve and ed will be over smearing their faeces everywhere.

With luck they will get tired, or at least be embarrassed when the traffic and population of this forum overtakes the CSB.

I WILL be out actively promoting it, possibly putting it in some Board voting Forums. Push the button, push the Envelope.

You can get whackers from it, but aren't we all?

: )
Bah!

I would prefer to leave AndrewD to post with the 3 twats, DavidBenAriel, Raymond and ytrebil. I don't think BigRR would post here.

So when does the big invite start?

I don't think Quaddriver would post here either. In fact the way he's being at the moment he'd be my 'poster most likely to give the URL to the unholy trinity'.
Why is it that when Miley Cyrus gets naked and licks a hammer it's 'art' and 'edgy' but when I do it I'm 'drunk' and 'banned from the hardware store'?

Do we need to pony up some dues to keep this place online? I would not want any one poster/admin to carry the burden alone.

Please let us know. ;)

My guess is that quaddriver would post here, but he is forever licking Gwenhywvar's ass. If your goal is to not have the three stooges know about this place, don't let the fourth stooge know about it.

I've no doubt he would let them know.

However, even if he and the other stooges were to show up here, it wouldn't bother me.

I'd have no problem continuing to expose their idiocy. :rsp

btw - what about Lord Jim?

And where is he?

Argh.

: p

Unlike the present situation at the CSB, this is like the original situation at the CSB.

Gob and I started the Board so we will cough up the dues. Should we get pissed off with the forum, as Gwen indicated happened to the G-Man, then we will pass the running of the Board over to the Board and you can work out how best to administer it.

I would think in any case, without consulting the Gwob-win.

However, I guess if everyone wants a piece of the action from the start, then I guess we could always running it that way as well?

I'm easy, as you will have often heard.

This is the present situation.

I already pay for the webspace for my own "vanity site", I bought the domain name "theplanbforum", it cost $10 :)

Should this forum develop, I think it should be moved out of my webspace and given over to a flexible comittee, with it being sustained and paid for by the members.

If it doesn't develop and dies on its arse, it's cost me $10, I can live with that.

So if I carry the forum in the interim, to se what happens.

If by the time my webspace renewal comes up (I think I have 8 months left at present) the forum still valid and worth it, we'll organise to buy some websopace and I'll give the name and forum over to the members.

That sound good?

I would also like to see the admins stay at at least four, to stop the sort of abuse which is going on at the CSB.

All comitee members should have admin level access, even if they do not want or use it.

@mericanwon@n posted that he had hurt his back.

it is about three weeks now since he posted on the CSB.

I do miss him. Especially the Poll he was going to start. : )

I have sent him this address, as well as a few other emails.

I have not heard from him. Perhaps he has been off-line for the entire time?

I hope he is back to posting soon. I specifically ensured that we had a reasonable edit time-frame for him (and me).

I read over at the other place that LJ hurt his back.

It seems quite odd to me that he can't go on-line with a back injury unless it is a very serious injury.

Unless of course it's uncomfortable or painful for him to sit at his PC...
