Miss Rigby ..."And Great, I have always liked EE, with the exception of a short time maybe a year or so ago when it was populated by the same sort of posters who seem to have found the proboard and brought their atmosphere along"
I guess I'm not seeing who these posters are that have brought their brand of atmosphere? maybe you can go with that a bit more?

Hi Miss R! I think a lot of the regulars have been busy with vacations (or trying to get our record on EE...damn that IHOP )....just give it a chance. A lot of us would miss you if you left <3

I have always liked EE, with the exception of a short time maybe a year or so ago when it was populated by the same sort of posters who seem to have found the proboard and brought their atmosphere along.Read more: notmsnmoney.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=fun&action=display&thread=557&page=2#ixzz19SZxNgOyI agree. I've decided to handle this the same way I dealt with a few regular posters I found obnoxious on the old boards. I rarely read their posts and if I did I just didn't respond. Ever. I don't mind feeding trolls at times, but there is certain behavior I don't wish to encourage. I'm hoping that if most people ignore the threads they will either go away or be sent away. Or maybe I'm in the minority and most people really want to be exposed to that sort of thing. Either way, I don't intend to let it affect me. There are plenty of people who's wit and wisdom I admire here. I can ignore those thoughts and opinions I don't value.

A lot of us would miss you if you left <3 It's about time you got over here! Now I have to ask you. Why are you working so hard to get a count up just to have them go poof? What kind of slacker are you, anyway?

It's about time you got over here! Now I have to ask you. Why are you working so hard to get a count up just to have them go poof? What kind of slacker are you, anyway? It's gotta be the bragging rights and she wants to go down in the MSN history books as the crazy numbers girl.

Miss R, there have been some permabans already. One was the person who was being so obnoxious in the coffee shop. The posts just disappear and there is no "message deleted" showing, so it's easy to miss. I haven't read as much here. Too busy, and many of the threads are started by posters I no longer read. I do scroll past the posts of some folks, just like I did on the old board. you know when you want some civil conversation, you can always go to the Coffee Shop ETA: well I thought there had been some bans...but looks like one of them posted today

Miss Tequila, The jury is still out on the job thing. I've been looking around a wee bit but I still don't have a resume. I really thought I would work this job til I retired so it's a huge change of mindset to even contemplate doing something else. In an amusing twist of fate, a number of people who have no idea that I'm contemplating leaving have gone out of their way to let my boss know how valuable I am to the company. POM, Moonbeam got my avatar to work, not me. Disinfranchised Investor is responsible for the one photo I managed to post. I did however manage to insert the Irish blessing and my signature myself. I really appreciate all the work going into making this board easy for those of us with a computer IQ of 2.

Cool Board! Thanks Moon. Still trying to figure it out. I quit going to the old board because MU was always mean to me. Will I be allowed to call him nasty names, here? I registered using caps, so why is it showing lower case? Also, I guess there is no spell check?

Hey LA...nice to see you here. There are helpful tips to navigating the boards if you look at the board home page, there is a "How to" section.

While we're a little more laid back here, name calling for the purposes of being mean and harassing aren't going to be tolerated. If another poster is giving you problems, send a PM to myself or one of the other mods. Spell check is available if you use the "reply" feature instead of quick reply.

The way I fel is that the other board was most unwelcoming for those that haapen to pop in. I see this one may be a little more open to others that happen to stop by and see this board. I am not sure if I will stay and post much but it is def. more welcoming than the last.

dmsm: To edit after posting, click the 'modify' button at the top right of the message. If you want to do spell-check or add emoticons to your message before posting it, you have to use the "Reply" button at the bottom right of the previous post instead of the "Quick Reply" screen.

Just joking, J, about the name calling. It's the only way I can torment MU. He loves it. Thanks for the help in modifying my profile. Still need to figure things out, something I hate having to do. Lazy, ya know. I need to figure out how to identify a quote. Why did MSN do away with the old board?

I think things will settle down, and posters will migrate to their "normal" places and pretty much learn to behave. A certain amount of envelope-pushing will occur, since it really didn't over on the old boards. No one messes with MissR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
