<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>

Brought to you buy,

<font color=pink>Afternoon to ya'll [img]smile.gif[/img]
I'm just stopping in breifly. My friend gave me his Frozen Throne Betam so I'm having fun with that. See you all later :D </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

HI all! I've been sick most of this week but will be around again now! :D

Good to hear you're coming around Cloudy, I've been pretty sick myself lately. The doctors out here where I live really aren't all that great, first they tell me I "may" have a stomach ulser, but they're not sure. Then they think I "may" have numonia (pardon the spelling) set up in my lungs, all that money and all they can do is throw me a bottle of pills. Serves me right for not having insurance I guess :D

Take care Cloudy [img]graemlins/ladyhearts.gif[/img]

<font color=white> I'm pretty much over-joyed with everything that happend this week... actually.

Still the last few days I got like a sledge-hammer-keeps-pounding-my-head-headache. :(

Hows everything here... everybody fine... (excluding Cloudy and SpamKing :D ) ? </font>

I'm fine too [img]smile.gif[/img]
Slightly...mogadored.
Is it Easter Sunday yet?

I dunno Kaltia. I've been seeing signs and everything being hung up but I never heard what Sunday it is. Oh well, even if it has come and gone I'm fine with it, I already got my Easter Day's gift. A new pair of shoes and 4 packs of Yu-Gi-Oh cards, awesome game too :D

(Just in case) Happy Easter People [img]graemlins/music02.gif[/img]
