<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. ;) :D HOWEVER, I'm not gonna jump on anyone for a few of these kinds of things, only if it gets out of hand. :D

I will LB. I will. Well good bye everyone. I must go get ready. Will be on when I get through showering etc etc

Geez Cloudschnookums! I took that last turn somewhere around NWN, got lost in the Abyss and just found my way back out. I really missed you and all the gang [img]smile.gif[/img]
Gotta run for a few but I will be back soon. .

Afternoon, all. Finally wrenched the computer from <font color=pink>Galadria's </font> hands. She was buying makeup, etc., which apparently is a fascinating task to some. :eyeroll: Ha, but she had to leave before the health food store closes. What's going on? Have you seen my latest gif.? http://popii.tripod.co.jp/galadriel_icon.gif

<font color=cyan>Attalus</font>, I like your new gif. Why don't you exchange that for your old, wornout knight? She should at least qualify as a "night in white satin". :D
<font color=white>Someguy</font>, have fun tonight at the dance. Remember "details girlfriend, details!"

Hey ya cloudster! I have yet to chat in one your zones. So hello to all and to all a good talk. :D
So what are we talkin abot anyway? [img]smile.gif[/img]

Whoops, didn't see the new Cafe. Better put this one back on top. [img]graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Hey everyone! Hope things are well.

Aw, I like my kuh-niggit. Besides, he scares newbies and <font color=deeppink>Willow</font>.

Now where did you get that idea? As far as I´m concerned he´s my knight in shining armor. ;) LOL!

Hello Lord K. Every topic is as good as the next. Feel free to talk about anything.

Have fun Someguy. I´m sure you will. [img]smile.gif[/img]
