Neither, so far, LOL!
I think it should be the continuation of the original discussion in Donut's thread, that's why I suggested that the topic of reopening the BG2 Bar could be discussed among the people who were around in the old Bar threads. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Edit:

I like the idea [img]smile.gif[/img]
Would you guys mind waiting a little though? Haven't got any chat programs installed at the moment and have a kind of busy week ahead... [img]smile.gif[/img]
Will be available ASAP

Oh, okay, sorry Melusine [img]smile.gif[/img] I'm still a relative newbie here and I haven't mastered the commands yet *looks embarrased and scuffs her boots on the floor*

Hmmm.... Post fun threads that aren't serious. But do not turn them into spam-fests. Be social. Don't just post serious discussions. Those are my suggestions..... Oh, and: "Bring Back Lord Shield's Bar!"

Might not be appropo, but I would like to state for the record, that while the Cafe is meant to pick up conversations that might otherwise off-topic or 'spam' a different thread, it is NOT a free-spam-trash area. I have noted that several people have made comments to the effect that all the Cafe is for is spam and I just wanted to be clear here.

I for one do NOT consider a 'social' conversation to be spam unless it interrupts a thread's flow considerably and am hoping it's not considered such by people I've known and posted with for a few yrs now. LOL, if you think about it, alot of our 'off topic' stuff in the old days would be considered out of place here these days. And frankly, I think some of our best stuff started as 'off topic'. Hmmm, Donut, if it weren't for 'ot', i'd never have offered that tapdance in the fountains! [img]graemlins/laugh2.gif[/img]

Some of our fun stuff was also rp if you'll recall. Somehow that never gets going now because most folk who would participate aren't active in the RP board- those things started up spontaneously in GD or the old BG. I loved the evil smiting and Tipsy the thief and Rikard/Wah/Melusine threads!

Good post/point Cloudyhoney. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I noticed that too(that a lot of the memberage seemed to think that the Cafe was a Spam Zone). The few times I've participated in it, I noted stuff that, yes, could be considered spam, but I also noticed quite a bit that was actually the sort of thing that gets discouraged in other threads. The "Hi, how was your day?" "Fine. How've you been?" sort of posts. IMNSHO, the Cafe is a wonderful addition to IW, and GD would be a lot poorer without it. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm enjoying myself reading the old Bars... perhaps someone should set up the Bar as a NWN online mod? [img]smile.gif[/img]

My God I used to be an idiot . (Anyone who uses the "Used to" joke will be kicked in the head by Mr T).

Not all of us have NWN unfortunately...
But LS and I were discussing starting the bar again like it used to be in the first few threads. Will let you know if it works out. [img]smile.gif[/img]
BTW Tancred, I'll be seeing you in court - I read the old threads some months earlier and cracked all my ribs laughing at you and Karnas... you WILL PAY!

If it's any consolation Sig, you were not the only one
