I saw that as well and was reminded of when they offered Wil Wheaton a promotion instead of a raise
I wonder if Maggie would join the club if we invited her?
And is Falcor here? I never knew his private face, but he was fun, and Iām sure heād enjoy partaking and not having to moderate.
Welcome! When did you get here?
The rumor has long been that Falcor is actually Heather, Robās wife.
Her scheduled date to give birth coincided with Falcor quitting almost perfectly, and there were other hints.
That said, I donāt know if theyād be interested; but we should totally invite her and Maggie both.
Nightflyer invited me in just before the site migration. I guess she thought you guys could use a bit more flair snark?
I wish Iād known sooner, itās been kinda bleh on the other side.
It seems that most of us who are active here are even more active there. I wanted to come back under a second account unaffiliated with @LearnedCoward, just so I could stay in the loop, but bibliophileās permaban put me off that. I donāt want anything to do with a place that would permaban the likes of him.
Yeah; the lack of all the cool people whoāve been banned or who bailed on their own accord is really starting to show.
I tend to think of this place as my Nazi-free refuge from the fight at the other place.
Iād have invited you sooner, if Iād known you werenāt over here yet. Some of our old Regulars just lurk here, and others opted out, so itās hard to tell sometimes.
I donāt spend as much time at the old BBS as I used to, but Iām keeping my eyes peeled for anyone else we might have missed.
I know Rob poked his head in here pretty early on, but I havenāt seen him post in a while. Iām guessing heās pretty busy over there since he posts a lot of Boing stories.
Plus that whole ānew baby in the houseā thing he has going onā¦
Exactly. But he knows heās welcome here if he wants to drop by.
I should hope so.
But they have an unused safeā¦now thereās a use for the safe.
And Xeni?
Iām not sure about inviting anyone still connected to that place. As much as we like Xeni, do we really know her feelings about recent events? She hasnāt spoken publicly AFAIK.
Well, it is a source of income for her. You donāt poop where you eat.
That explains Robās fly-bys too ā āHi, yes we know about this, be seeing you.ā No-one who writes for BB has hung around here in any guise which made it clear it was them. Which is only sensible of them.
Emphasis on emphasis mine.
Iām gonna be honest guys. This is sort of thing (and the forum in general) comes across like Canadians defining themselves primarily by how theyāre not American.
At least set up some blackjack and hookers here.
