Thanks, Z! Nice to see a good definition and especially now when the upgrade is so close. I think everyone will be so excited by the new features, they may forget about spamming and spend all their time in chat or pm!
Seriously, Dan, I think a pm feature will drastically reduce the one line or "Hey didja get my email?" spam in the future. I created the Cafe to take some of the short conversations/chats that might otherwise clog up threads and be off-topic. Kind of a catch-all for the little comments and jokes that didn't need their own threads. Seems to have been working quite well and draws a lot of people, some regulars but hopefully ANYONE who just wants to make a comment (I'm bored, what are you having for dinner? type stuff) will feel free to do it in the Cafe (or bar) instead of all over the board and in separate threads! We do make friends here and sometimes the Cafe- 'hanging out with our buddies' atmosphere is what people need/want at a given time. I hope Cloudy's Cafe can take up some of that and keep it in one place. On another note, I'm quite pleased to see some fun (not one liner!) threads and interesting discussions taking place. As you all know, I'm not one for pure 'debate' mentality day in and day out so if all that we ever had was 'heavy' philisophical debates, GD and I would part company. But the same is true of the opposite, if all it ever had was joke threads I'd read alot more game forums! Cloudy, debating whether to buy Pools of Radiance and vanish for hours at a stretch.. darn that Z, telling us it's good.. sigh... PS....did I see a chat about ranks in this spam definition thread?! ------------------ Raindancer of the Laughing Hyenas Clan CloudDragon of the OHF Storm-Queen Raven's Cloud StormCloud of the Black Knight: Heart Mind Soul Forever "To sleep, perchance to dream..."

We installed the chat feature at the Elysium a few months ago and those who used the chat feature learnt each other much better and stopped spamming up the message board. It really helps! *Looks at new Magister pic* That's supposed to be an improvement? j/k [This message has been edited by Grojlach (edited 10-02-2001).] |

Also, here I got the opportunity to watch others while they are "at play" - which for me has always been the starting point for developing sympathies for the people I've met here. ------------------ So long !

Looks like your sig is working now, somebody else did the job I see But it good to see it working. BTW, Z, I made a thread for Elif Godson to practice a bit with his sig, you can delete it I guess, cause his sig seems to work now ------------------ http://www.angelfire.com/rpg2/mirac I'd be Mirac, mighty mage of er... uhm.. er.. - Mirac Honorguard Fellow Table Dancer of the Jerome's Table dancer group Spell formulater of the IW peace-keeping force |

To post or not to post? To respond or not... I understand the need for rules, but not TOO many, please? Oh well, I'll suppose the only thing to do is carry on as normal. I expect someone will tell me if I'm doing something inappropriate. ------------------ Ascended Mistress of Illumination OR Paws R Us |

I've shortened my sig a bit, I had to remove the WAT tag because I couldn't move it next to the HADB tag(If anyone can figure out how to do this, please tell me.), please tell me if you still think my sig is too big.

I pledge to keep my shorter posts thoughtful or creative, with purpose and measure in order not to spam and bog down the forum's computers and/or annoy the fellow members with a bunch of nonsense.

Ziroc you mentioned the delete button is back up... If I start a thread and then delete the first post does the entire thread dissapear?
