Cloudy's Cafe

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:

this is a real conversation zone, not a role-play zone

* 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!

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.

PLEASE NOTE

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.

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

No, I'm quite sure IT only worked on the knights who say *ecky-ecky-ecky-ecky-ptang-zoing-boom* (or something sounding very similar to that), not on the knights who say Ni.

On to the weather forecast, threads on IW now have a 31% chance of spam...

Good morning everyone, how're you all today?
I guess I've got my wish, Cloudy, they're saying it'll be in the 50's (F) by this weekend!!!! And that next week looks warm!!
Yesterday they told us that out of the 69 days of the year so far, we've had below average temps for 52 of them!!! [img]graemlins/imcold.gif[/img]
Spam will only be 31%? I would think it would be much higher now that Kat's back [img]graemlins/hidesbehindsofa.gif[/img]

Legolas · 03-11-2003, 09:25 AM

Well, she can't possibly spam more than 1/3rd of the active threads, right? Right? Uhm...

Meanwhile, we've been cheated out of winter. Only got a bit of snow at the start, but it's been nice and warm for the past few weeks so no more white stuff

You'd think I had had enough of that after a few minutes of -30 (c) temperatures and several hours of -20 (in Norway, BTW, not in the Netherlands), but that was fun. Although the snow was a bit too dry to make proper snowballs and snowmen. But you could make snow angels, so...
