A NEW BOARD
Permalink Closed

Just for grins I started my own board.

I am the webmaster, moderator and general whatever. Registration is required.

Let me know if you can't access it.

Here's the url:

Are applicants required to submit references?  Proof of citizenship? A vita?  Just wondering.

Cossack, as I posted on another thread, it's just for fun and to show everyone how easy it is. It may not even be about USM at all.

You are making unkind assumptions about me.

For you, sugar, two labels off a longneck and a note from your wife.

Though I'd be really curious to see your references.

LVN,

The moderator has posted the following two statements:

The issue is about the frequency and volume of Dr. DePree's references to his website and quotations from same. Some are perceiving an effort to overwhelm this board, along with references to Gary and Frank to ally his issues to theirs in our minds, and an effort to accuse and demonize anyone who objects to anything he does. (These are the sentiments in the privates messages.) and It may be of interest that at least one long-time, intellectual poster is thinking of no longer posting, and another is thinking of setting up her own board. Which anybody can do.

My interpretation of these two statements is that some posters have contacted the Moderator to complain about Dr. Depree’s posts and by extension the presence of COB faculty posting on the Board. If you have been misrepresented, I retract my statement and apologize.

Apparently a few posters are attempting to manage this Board via complaints. The Board just made a transition to a registration board which requires some adjustment on the part of posters. Now there is a move under way to banish Dr. Depree because some posters do not like him or what he is saying. I am disappointed by the level of intolerance exhibited by these posters. Some of them make SFT look flexible.

Two longneck labels coming up forthwith. About those references,  not to be a name dropper but they'd have to include Dr. Invictus and Kinky Friedman for starters.  Then if I need to bring in the big guns, perhaps Professor W.J. Johnson and Mlle. de Guerre.  And need I mention that I met Bobby Dylan at Newport back when he was a mere lad?


Night all,
AE

I just discovered that games can be added to an ActiveBoard, so I added several on my board.
When you absolutely, positively, have nothing else to do . . . .

There have been people playing games on the regular no quarter board...even the Fire Shelby board. One of the games was "rumormill" and another was "slanderville". There were several posters that were tied in the contests when registration began. We will never know who they were with the number of noms each of them used.


LVN, what is the purpose of your New Board?


Also, is it true someone is starting a new "no registration" board to replace the no quarter board? "I am not playing rumormill"....really.

Not to mention the game of "defend the administration" where the players collect the money at each raise period. This game is played in every college and every department and usually the players dress up in slug costumes. However, I think LVN was referring to games of recreation and mental stimulation. The former is not her style

I've answered the purpose question twice on this very thread.

I have no idea if anyone else has started a board, unless it's mentioned on a thread I've not seen yet.
It's very easy to do and anyone can start one. Have at.

Thanks LVN, I see it's just for grins. I may even check it out.


We need something to keep us grinning. We have not had much to grin about since 2002. So, do us a good job on the New Board. Keep us grinning. But, no picking.


We really need something to grin about on this board. Give us a more simple link.

I am still trying to figure out how to get the URL shorter. In the meantime, just copy the address and paste it into your browser address bar rather than trying to type it.
By the way, I've gone to premium service and the flashing ads are gone on my board. It also has some games, but now people are complaining about incipient addiction. You just can't win.

For those who don't know how to copy and paste:

Hold down the left mouse button and drag the mouse across the text you want to copy. This will highlight the text. Then press the right mouse button and select "copy"

Next, move your cursor to whereever you want to place the text (in this case at the far left of the browser address bar.) Right click again and select "paste" and then press "enter" -- it should take you to the designated location.

(This seems simple, but a lot of people don't know how to do it.)

I can't wait to join your new Board. The more, the merrier.

LVN,

You know of course that with the event of your new Board, you have demonstrated that you have considerable computer skills and your friends will be seeking your help with their computer problems. In addition, you will acquire many new friends who will also solicit your help. Please post your "work desk" hours and consulting fees.

Actually, AE is free to use me -- by nom or real name -- as a reference any time. Of course, that might red-flag him with the Dept. of Homeland Security

What? I could get PAID for this?? Who knew? Actually, what I have done is quite simple for anyone who uses a computer often. Also, I have secret elves, including Invictus and my son. Maybe I'd better not charge -- they might want a percentage.

With my great computer expertise, I finally stumbled across the way to make a short url for my site. It's http://misslinda.activeboard.com

I don't care for that link to be active, by the way.
