<H2><font color="plum">Cloudy's Cafe</font></H2>

Come in, be welcome, be comfortable, be yourself

Welcome to Cloudy's Cafe, a place to have a cup of coffee or a good
darjeeling and the finest in conversation and camaraderie.

The proprietor asks that you follow a few simple guidelines:

<H3>this is a real conversation zone, not a role-play zone</H3>

[i]* no flaming; if you disagree with a viewpoint expressed by any patron, please do so in a civil manner
* any topic is fair game, but keep posts to the standards that Ziroc has set for the entire forum, please (ie: foul language is not appropriate and things should be suitable for all audiences)
-a side note from Cloudy: I see this as a place for those short
conversations about a new baby or the latest soccer fiasco, not for things that are big enough to warrant their own threads, by all means give those things the space they need and post separately!
* Please, no one word or smiley posts (Ziroc has declared them 'real spam' and the proprietor doesn't want the reputuation of "good spam" to suffer!)
* do feel free to be serious or silly and enjoy the company of others while you are here. By all means POST if you have something to say, even to start another topic , we can handle multiple chats, we're a CAFE!!! But be courteous and don't disrupt a conversation just to disrupt it.

Come on in! The bar is stocked with coffees, teas, juices and waters from around the world. And purple napkins, of course!

<font color="pink">The lighting is low, the golden oak counters and tables glow with inviting warmth. Near the window, the lighting is brighter, as comfy, plush leather armchairs wait for those who'd like to read a book while relaxing to music or just lazily watch the world go by.</font>

Cloudy,
your hostess [img]graemlins/ladyhearts.gif[/img]

I could get FIRST POST!

But I deliberately posted in a slow manner so others could be as fortunate as I was last time [img]smile.gif[/img]

LOL, old and cunning beats young and quick every time. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

ROTFL! You two are pretty amusing! LOL

I saw we would need a new one before I get to log back in tonight (gonna play NWN and then see a movie with my sweetie) so here's the new one all brand spanking new and shiny! :D

FYI Everyone:

<H3>For future reference: From now on all new Cafe's will be made by me, and if they get over 180 and I'm not around, by either Lioness or LadyBlue who should both check to be sure there isn't a new one already.

The only time anyone else should start a new thread is if I have specifically asked them too. This is at the request of the GD mods to avoid the confusion of multiple Cafes.</H3>

LOL, old and cunning beats young and quick every time. [img]tongue.gif[/img] </font>[/QUOTE]Ah you want to bring in the age issue "old timer"? Well why don't you put that first post award on your mantlepiece and practice telling your grandchildren about how you got it.

You started it [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Happy hunting Cloudy... *evil grin* Have fun killing all those fools in NWNs... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

<font color = lightgreen>Hey! That would make a great story. We'll call it...

Attalus hugged. [img]graemlins/laugh3.gif[/img]

excuse me. couldn't help that one.

I'm better now. [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img] </font></font>[/QUOTE]Authored by Ayzred Rand, no doubt. [img]tongue.gif[/img] </font>[/QUOTE]Er, Cloudlady, could you also ask the spa... I mean the vigorous younger members to limit their quotes? The last Cafe, you had to wade through six quotes and a sig to fid their post.

And, Sigmar, I don't have any grandkids, but I shall show it to my sons, along with the other five. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Going crying to mummy huh ;)

Alternatively we could just remove our sigs in cloudy's that could be a new rule, reduce the loading times too.

Ach its all too easy just to hit "add reply" and then notice ur sig's left on...
