<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>

* 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>

<H1> <font color="plum"> PLEASE NOTE </font></H1>

This is a modified reminder that I've posted before in reply to someone asking "can we spam the cafe". It still holds true, so I'm going to repeat it periodically for anyone who hasn't seen it.

Read the first post of the thread, it's NOT a spam zone. If you want to discuss you grades, a problem with a teacher,the weather, your neighbor's new car etc.....etc.. (real life conversations) this is the place. I don't mind a SMALL amount of spam but when the Cafe gets to be 8 pages in one day and it's all one liner pure spam, I have to ask people not to do it because most of the members who would come to talk about their day or things that they want advice or sympathy or cheers on, will not post in that atmosphere. I want you to be comfy here, but not at the expense of other members.

So the answer is NO, I don't want to see page after page of roleplay spam or one liner spamfests that could be done on msn or aim etc. because our goal is to TALK WITH one another , not fill up a cafe in five hours. ;)

First post!

*edit*
Aahhhh... another day starting off on just the right foot :D

I do hope Frances is smart enough not to irritate the cat-god Choc... but if she isn't, batten down the hatches, Z. Same goes for the rest of the Ironworkers in the Florida area.

One more day until the electrician comes to double the power down here! I'm really looking forward to it... spent last night cleaning the basement so I could take a lot of the stuff out of the office so he has clear access. Tonight I've got to take down the computers and network... tomorrow I'll probably be going through withdrawals [img]smile.gif[/img]

SPAMMER! [img]tongue.gif[/img] morning all, I am trying to figure out how I am going to do this, it seems I have 2 appointments today, one at 11:00 am, and the other at 11:30 am, the main problem is that one is in little rock, while the other is about 35 miles away, I will probably have to reschedule the second one, because the first one is more important :/

Hi all, well the movie just finished.....Strange, I had always enjoyed Neon genesis, but this was weird, anyway, how many ironworkers live in the florida are, just curious, well good luck Ziroc and good night all.

For all our Florida members and anyone in Frances' path, STAY SAFE and TAKE CARE! Stock up on water and basic supplies and please remember to keep your pets safe too.

We're thinking about you and hoping for the best!

Yeah, and buy some bleach, j.k. Good morning, all.

<font color=lime>Mornin guys, coffee fresh?
Thinking of you guys down in the S.E.. Be safe guys. </font>

Hey everyone. How has your day been? Mine was great...until I got home and read an email concerning my MP3 player. This really pisses me off. But I really need some advice now, so I will be making a seperate thread. Look out for it! [img]graemlins/1pissed.gif[/img] :(

Sorry for posting this in the old thread btw.

<font color=pink>Well staying up until 3/4 AM 2 nights in a row is working against me *falls asleep in chair* must write....papers...do...homework!
Lucky for me I have almost 3 hours for 5 short papers. Procrastination at its best!

Better get to work. Later all. Everyone in Frances path, stay safe!</font>

edit: thanks ross, I forgot to put the "/" in front of font [img]tongue.gif[/img]
