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. ;)

1st post?

Edit: it is. Meh, you people are getting slooooow. [img]tongue.gif[/img] . I suppose I should post something so this isn't spam. Who'm I kidding? Anyway, so how are all of you? Anyone done anything exciting recently? I know I've not [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Good Day to you all! I'm half awake, but it's a crisp spring-like day in the frozen north and for some reason, tired and working as I am, I still feel happy! So....HELLO and HAPPY Tuesday (or whatever day it is for you!) to you all! [img]graemlins/kissy2.gif[/img]
*does a little Spring better be here soon dance*

*waves* hiya Cloudy. It's raining over here - again - or was. But hey, that's England for you. Grey skies and nothing blue in sight. Uh, happy Tuesday? ...Interesting ;)

Howdy CD! You're looking chipper and fun to wave at this morning! :D Wanna come over and do my housecleaning for me? :D :D *wheedle, bat bat of lashes and all that jazz* :D

Man I am at work and so sick. I will have no voice by the end of the day. And to top it off we have a heavy snowfall warning. ;)

Cloudy you have any neocitron?

Uh... Housecleaning? Uh... heh... thanks, but no ;) . I um, think I'll give a shot at writing a novel instead ;D - it seems easier!

New cafe? Cloudy you must be very rich to build a new cafe every month! :D
Anyway I have to do a lot of studying today, since I have an exam from history tomorrow. I just don't want to study. There is so much things that I have to learn. So many things. Well I'll just have to do it I guess.

Mack, I have some tea with honey and lemon, just what you need for that throat. And I've got a whole lot of sympathy for you, been sick and at work off and on for two weeks now. Hope you can rest when you get home today!

LOL, awww....so you won't wash my windows and vacuum up the kitty litter my cats dragged out of their litterbox, CD? ;) Oh well, that better be a good book so you can earn a lot of money and pay me my cut! I gotta keep building Cafes you know! *winks at Xen* :D :D hehe....
