<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>

First post!!! Yeah baby! For the first time in my entire carreer a first post in Cloudy's Cafe!! :D :D :D

EDIT: NOOOOOOOO! Vile SomeGuy beat me to it!!! [img]graemlins/crying.gif[/img]

EDIT 2: But then again, he didn't!!

<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

Sorry CloudLady.Won't happen again. So how is everyone today?

EDIT: Link if you wanted the post so badly you just had to say so. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Close one, Link! One minute off though!

Willow, in response to your last post on the cat barf and carpet shampoo machine... [img]tongue.gif[/img] LOLOL I hope you don't need to shampoo any carpets too, but I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO glad I have mine, because when my kitties barf they do it up in style...Merlin did his in front of the door so it spread when I opened the door...then of course I walked in it and padded along the hallway....making prints... ACK!

I swear that penguin sig just makes you seem incredibly huggable SG! :D :D :D

How is the situation with the girl? Is she still thinking? What is it you like so much about this one? :D

Does that mean we can spam the cafe? *giggle* *guffaw* I´m sorry Cloudy I couldn´t resist from posting that.

By what calender are we operating? It seems we have lost a few hours of the day. Does this mean you are going to work now Cloudy? [img]tongue.gif[/img] :D

Um yea.She's probably still thinking.She's spent the weekend at here grand-ma's and so we have no way to communicate.She said she'd give me an answer on Monday.As for why I like her so much...hmm I dunno. There's just something about her that I can't say...I just like her alot. :D

Dunno who came up with that. I have also seen "Amerinds," but neither is in the dictionary. And, yes, we are all of African stock, and "Eve" is all of our ultimatematernal ancestor.

New cafe, great.

No problem, Cloudy, I'm not exactly a notorious spammer anyway :D [img]tongue.gif[/img]
