Site feedback here, please.
buffyvol
Since I'm the first to post here, Can my title be "Queen of the World"?
Magpie
Wow, it's really fast when there are only 3 of us posting!

Thanks, pmk, for going to all this trouble. *smooch* Now that I've sucked up, may I please trump buffy by having the title Goddess?
potmeetskettle
Gotta keep my girls happy.

Sayz the "Rookie".
TVJunkie
when you are the one true power, you don't need to advertise.
siebal
Can we stay here? Please?
potmeetskettle
Yeah. I'm heading in to the office right now, so I'll be offline for a bit. Go ahead and email folks (if you can get into the damn site) and let them know.

I've had it. This morning was the straw that broke my back.
buffyvol
What happened this morning?
potmeetskettle
More of the same. Server was down, then it was slow, then it was down. I couldn't even get into the Admin panel. I checked the (un)helpful tech support site, etc. there was nothing. Just more of the same crap that's been going on for weeks and no one even bothers to act like they care about their 'customers'. No messages updating status, nothing.

Piss poor communication and customer service. I know it's a free boards, but it's really not free with all the ads and other bullshit.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
DodgerGirl
Since Mags and Buffy are busy lording it over everyone, may I please have a more practical title, like "Scullery Maid"?
potmeetskettle
Done, D.G. I'm thinkin' of changing Buffy's to "wench"
TeslaNewton
Can my title be "Whippet Good"? I have Whippets (even though I never named one Devo, maybe someday).
Eris Rising
I still want a custom title, but can't figure out what I want it to be. And "...Is A Dude" was suggested, but no. Nothing wrong with a bit of mystery.
TeslaNewton
Thank you PMK! Whip it, whip it good! Or in my case, whippet, whippet good!

woodstove
I'm going to call dibs on "High Priestess" since we are getting so royal around here. It's my higher Arcana card anyway...

Meanwhile, I like the old TSucks thread, Black Sheep, real thoughts I wish I could post on TWoP. Can you drum someting like that up?

Thanks for hanging in there PMK.
buffyvol
JDF is "Court Jester", right?
DodgerGirl
If we're going to be nominating people for titles, then Mike-el needs to be "Thread Starting HOOOOOOR!"

I might forgive him, though, since he created a smush name for Creed and Stanley on "The Office".
Eris Rising
Got it!

I want "Lusty Stableboy". Not just "Stableboy," as anyone could be one of those.
buffyvol
If he requests and gets "Lusty Stableboy", I should get "Queen of the World".
TVJunkie
*snort*

buffy is a floosey.

*points*

Hoooooooooooor!
Gatorbait
I've never requested a custom title, but, with my new avatar, I'd like to be an Albert-lovin' strumpet.
Magpie
Now I think maybe I need to come up with another title since I no longer trump buffy. (Not that I want to, as I'm skeered to know what trumps "floosey".)

*joins in the pointing and snorting*
Eris Rising
I'd point and snort, but lusty stableboys and floozies have a long historical relationship.
buffyvol
Come sit next to me Eris. We'll drink champagne and make fun of the rest of these Rubes behind their backs.
TVJunkie
Hey!? What's up with my title? I didn't ask for that!?

I have an idea for the T-Sucks junior forums.

I know you didn't want to start a "Food" sub-forum PMK, but how about a "Ragging on females" (but not that title!) forum. It could cover all the FN-female stuff, + the endless "eat a cookie" or "she's a hooor!" or "boob job join crazy!" posts, and other insults to various women such as Kelly Ripa, Bitsy, reality show women, etc.

EssPee
Hey, I just noticed that the "This post edited by...." line appeared when I corrected a typo in a post. I had kind of liked not seeing that every time I make a minor tweak to a post -- and I'm a habitual tweaker.

Did someone flip a settings switch somewhere? Way back in the old days -- ie, yesterday -- it seemed to be an option check box on the posting page, but I'm not seeing it today.
Mike-El
Another tweaker here. Put me down for making it optional, rather than automatic, too.
siebal
As per a kickass suggestion from woodstove, and still on the royalty thing, I would like to be the Princess Bride. I too like to point and snort.
pinruT
I would like to be officially recognized as "Village Idiot".

I'm a horrible speller too and sometimes tweak to correct, so add me to the "option" vote.
woodstove
Me too, and I thought I was the typo queen here. With the new cordless keyboard it's even worse. The edited by showing up AFTER someone else posts (as on the old/old site) is a good compromise.

Meanwhile, I want the wimmin thread (a lot)
woodstove
No rush whatsoever, since you just gave me such a pretty new title, but it just doesn't go with "woodstove."

So, may I be "chimneysweep" please?

I need to give some thought to this, woodstove. I've gotten a teeny bit of feedback that basically says that 75% of the posts brought over are about wimmen-bashing, so what is the point of a separate thread? But, I'll ponder it for a bit and see if it looks like it'll add to the discussion.

Re: The edit option checkbox .. um .. lemme ponder that as well. There was a reason for removing that. Not that I don't trust you guys. cool.gif

Question ...

How the heck did we get on the royal title kick? Is that Buffy's fault? I was planning on using the same automatic titles from the other B3 board.
Magpie
When in doubt, it's always safe to blame buffy.
woodstove
<points j'accuse!>

Buffy! All Buffy! All I did was kill time at work...

Well, DodgerGirl started a concurrent "practical title" kick; so in that spirit, I'd like to have the title "Sturdy Peasant Wench".
buffyvol
You wanna blame me for Global Warming also? Buncha peasents!

Well, I blame you for getting "Chim-Chimmine" stuck in my head whenever I read a post of yours.
woodstove
PMK, in your FAQ, the part about name changes, you left out one of the old rules you had. No "Miss Alli" or "Sars" type names. Perhaps you don't care anymore, but I thought I would mention it.
jedzz
Are you going to open a custom title thread again?

If it's OK, I'd like my title to read "I'll be a celebrity! And so will you!"

Thanks.
ladybug
PMK If it is not too much trouble may my name be changed to "anti-mean girl". Thanks! And thanks for the awesome new board.
EssPee
PMK, if you're not burnt out on custom titles yet, I'd like to request "Misanthrope."

Also, I'd like to nominate Mike-El's return to "Poo-Flinging Racist." It was obscure but always gave me a chuckle. Besides, no one flings poo quite like him.

Although I was a good sport about it and played along, the truth is I always thought that title was terribly offensive.

So could you just shorten it to "Racist"?
StroppyMod
I'm trying to come up with my own special title, but the only thing I can think of is "Not PMK". Not funny. So I thought what the heck. What do you guys think? I'm open to suggestions as well as bribes.
jedzz
"Strudy"
woodstove
HYmmm
Stroppy -- Strumpet
Strumpet -- Stroppy

I think that "BOW DOWN BITCHES" has a nice mod-ly sound to it. (I'd suggest "FEAR ME" but TVJunkie probably has dibs on it.)

Actually, that's "Fear Me, Bitches". GAWD. Get it right.
Magpie
Damn, I knew as soon as I hit "enter" that I'd be hearing about that. If you had it as your title, I wouldn't be as likely to forget it, ya know.

My next title: "Skeered of TVJ".

Can I get mine to say "I'm with Zapato"? If yo're still doing that, PMK, it would be much appreciated.
potmeetskettle
All done
Magpie
Thanks, pmk!

I see we now have a separate thread for title requests, so I'll go back to the original topic here and say that this new board is working great for me. I can even get in here during lunchtime, which I seldom could do on the previous boards.
Eris Rising
Request: Can we start a "Building a Better TWoP Show" thread in Creative Pursuits? If you look at the "Posts, Posters, and Entire Threads That Bug" thread, you'll see that we've sadly been derailing it for a couple of pages. We don't want to be off-topic, but the concept must be explored!
DodgerGirl
May we please have a "Judge Judy" thread? It might just be a conversation between Officer Byrd and me, but I think we have other JJ watche...er, viewers here.

sure. go ahead and start one. the TWOP threads are the only section where you can't start threads.
Rex Dart
I like to keep up with topics by e-mail, so that if I'm ever unable to web surf, it's easy to keep up with what's going on. However, getting an e-mail every single time someone posts in a topic is pretty overwhelming. Can a "daily digest" subscription option be added, as they have at TWOP? That'd help me out a lot.
DodgerGirl
Would you please change the Judge Judy thread to include all TV court shows?
skittlebrau
Oh! HERE'S the request thread! I should have been reading with my eyes.

Can we get a mad libs thread in the Lighter Side of TWOP subforum? biggrin.gif
woodstove
I was thinking that perhaps a
"me me me" overflow thread would be good, since comments seem pretty common, and you don't want them there. Just a thought.
Juxtaposeur
I like punching movies in the face, but I really like punching songs in the face. Can we punch music too? Maybe kick it in the shins? Knee it in the groin?
Magpie
Hey, pmk, I just want to say how much I enjoy reading the "Me Me Me" and "Foto Friday" threads. It's fun to learn little tidbits about BBBer's (and the contents of their refrigerators). Someday I will quit being lame and I'll hook up my camera to my computer so I can join in.
TVJunkie
Hook up the camera, or I'll kick your butt.
Magpie
Suggestion: A FTC thread where I can report TVJ for being a big meanie.
DodgerGirl
Give TVJ a break, she has a brain tumor.
Rex Dart
Can we get the "TWOP Cliches" thread back?
buffyvol
Hey PMK? Is there anyway to put a posters quote on the top of the front page like we did at one of the other sites? That was fun.

I haven't quite figured out how to do that here. Me not so good techhie.

If it's like other IPB forums, you should be able to edit the HTML wrapper in the Admin CP.
StickyKeys
Is there a way to change the way the forums are marked as read. I come here and visit one thread and when I come back all of the rest of my threads are reset. Then I have to figure where I left off or I miss new posts. This especially happens when I come to check my pm's, drives me crazy.

CRAZY!
EssPee
Yeah, I have exactly the same problem. I kept meaning to mention it, and kept forgetting to do so just as often.
StickyKeys
Is it too early to suggest a flouncing thread? There have been a few great ones at twop, but I didn't know if there were enough to constitute a thread here.

Request denied.
Joe Don Faker
Is there a way to activate polls?

For old time's sake I thought it would be fun to have a poll inviting folks to vote on their favorite TSucks/BBB Moment in History: Unmasking FormerOlympian, the banning and resurrection of SquirellyQ, etc. etc.
potmeetskettle
Huh. It took me a bit to figure it out, JDF. (Polls work for me in all the threads.) But, I think I figured out how to make them work for everyone else. They should be available in the "Lighter Side of TWoP" thread.
edithbluth
Is the "Other Forums that Bug Thread" from the "T-Sucks Jr." section supposed to be gone? I may have overlooked an announcement about it (and if so, I'm sorry--I really did look), but I could have sworn the thread was there this morning, and now it isn't. It may just be my browser or something, but I figured I would ask.
Msquared
It's not there for me either.
cassandra
Oh, I just found it. It's now in theWWW Cafe topic.

Can we get a ThreadOutlook thread, or a crystal ball thread for shows that we see heading towards wank or trainwreck potential? Do we have something like this that I'm just not thinking about?

In the FTC thread we're talking about the carwreck that is the Kids by the Dozen thread and I wonder if it wouldn't be better suited for a different area.

It's being discussed in the "Posters, Posts and Entire Threads That Bug" section. That seems to be the appropriate place for it.

Also, requests specifically for the TSux, Jr. section should go in the TSux Jr. Management section.

PMK, are we going to have a BBB 2007 (TWoP) poster awards thread, as we did at TWoP Sucks?

Re: Golden Fleece Awards

Ya know .. I'm not sure. That was Gaucho's baby, and she's not around anymore. I'll ponder it.

*rubs chin*
woodstove
Someone might jump in to help PMK, pretty please!

Perhaps, in honor of our new place, we could call them The Golden Clog Awards this year.

Didn't she just choose categories, and we all nominated people and then did polls to vote or the nominations selected? It's been a while...
Eris Rising
This has to be done. It was one of the most enjoyable times I had at the old site. Please?
Joe Don Faker
In other news, BBB is climbin' the charts. Though one hundred is as elusive as Robert Denby, thus far.

I know this is dorky but I figure the mods get enough PMs. I just want to say that I love PMK and Keyser and think they have been doing a great job. I love this board and while I think a few posters can be a bit strident, I think the majority are fantastic and don't give me a "mean bitches" vibe that I get from another board I belong to. Kudos and keep up the good work. I would hate to see this site go away.
dottstar
Not dorky at all and I second the feelings. I love, admire both and there aren't enough words in the world to express my appreciation for all the hard work they do for this board. I followed the thread and was glad I did as the new board she created was so relaxing compared to the free for all at SS.
So thank you, thank you, thank you.
