the original thread is here:
http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=10&t=001902&p= ]

the previous thread is here:

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.

First post?
How's everyone doing? We had an ice storm this weekend. I was lucky and didn't lose my power, but some still have it out, including my boss. She doesn't have a phone, so she had to go search for one to call me to say she won't be in.
Love that spring!!! 70's last Friday, ice storm this one. grrrr

At least I got out of having to work Friday

Hey harley! We had the same ice storm.. ugh! I've got several trees bent over, but so far nothing seems broken. Most of my neighbors in the area lost tree branches and some of the ones by the road lost major parts of the trunk to the weight of the ice.

My power stayed on, Thank God, but my co-worker hasn't had power all weekend, apparently. Glad to hear you came through it ok!

HEY, did I hear someone say Ramon was back at IW? WHOOHOOO!

Power eh? Does that mean you're some type of superhero? and if so what sort of power didn't you lose? And while we're at it, what kind of superhero's weakness is ice storms? Warm-drink man or something? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Dang but it´s good to see the café again. Fluffy had a MAJOR case of the hick-ups and gave me a blue screen on startup claiming she couldn´t find the boot record. Luckily Vaskez mentioned a trick to fix this a while ago and I wrote it down. It seems to work fine now. I wonder what happened... My personal settings also disappeared today so now I have to remake everything. But at least redecorating is fun. And should I tire there is a backup folder too.

Dk, LOL! How are you? Not too tired from making sigs I hope. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Hello Epona. I hope everything is fine with you. [img]smile.gif[/img]

And last but not least, hello Cloudy. Glad you survived the storm. No ice here fortunately. Just snow and strong winds. At least we have got play off hockey (well soon at least) to keep us warm.

Ahh I love my spell checker.
