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. ;)

hi everyone, tis a sad day for all it seems :( hope all of those who are in the area of the Quake are safe.

It is truly sad. I hope for the best to those of you with friends/family/aquaintences in the affected areas.

With the death toll rising and the lines of communication down I hope you receive good news in the end.

*says a silent prayer for all those affected*

Hiya folks. :D
It's 10.30 AM here. I ate breakfast and went to my father's office. I have to re-type something for him. That's good becuase he pays me. [img]graemlins/showoff.gif[/img]
I have to go to work now. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Yes, after a delicious cafe breakfast I'll be going back to work too. It's only a 3 day week for me so it's not too bad.

Hey Ya'll.

I slept in for my paper round this morning *grin*. I'm just going to say my mum cancelled it for all of today, not just this afternoon.
It's just gone 12 and I'm going to a football match today, 5th place Middlesbrough v newly promoted Norwich. Should be fun.

I just finished putting songs on my 20gb iPod, I've used 886.7mb, maybe I should have just got an iPod mini [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

How is everyone?

Ivelliis-poor show, I have about 30gigs of music on my 60gb jukebox [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

I seem to have developed the habit of sleeping 'til 11 and going to bed at 3ish, AND I'm not even playing Warcraft right now!!!

*gulps while thinking what will happen next time he loads it up*

Good morning, all. A very nice morning, here, temperature around 48 degrees F. My walkingf program looks to be set for another day.

Time to load it up bro I have TFT. Get ready to get schooled. ;) I am looking to be on tonight I think it will be in the wee hours of the morning with the time change. But I am on to nights and when I get home I always play a few games so it might be easier to hook up then.

I m still on the west server. I have played a few games and dam it takes a little bit to get use to TFT. :D
