A conversation gone wrong, in a jif. or possibly a gif

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 I’m sure he’d enjoy partaking and not having to moderate.

Welcome! When did you get here?

The rumor has long been that Falcor is actually Heather, Rob’s wife.

Her scheduled date to give birth coincided with Falcor quitting almost perfectly, and there were other hints.

That said, I don’t know if they’d 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 I’d known sooner, it’s 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 bibliophile’s permaban put me off that. I don’t want anything to do with a place that would permaban the likes of him.

Yeah; the lack of all the cool people who’ve 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.

I’d have invited you sooner, if I’d known you weren’t over here yet. Some of our old Regulars just lurk here, and others opted out, so it’s hard to tell sometimes. :wink:

I don’t spend as much time at the old BBS as I used to, but I’m keeping my eyes peeled for anyone else we might have missed.

I know Rob poked his head in here pretty early on, but I haven’t seen him post in a while. I’m guessing he’s pretty busy over there since he posts a lot of Boing stories.

Plus that whole ā€˜new baby in the house’ thing he has going on…

Exactly. But he knows he’s welcome here if he wants to drop by.

I should hope so.

But they have an unused safe…now there’s a use for the safe.

And Xeni?

I’m 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 hasn’t spoken publicly AFAIK.

Well, it is a source of income for her. You don’t poop where you eat.

That explains Rob’s fly-bys too – ā€œHi, 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.

I’m gonna be honest guys. This is sort of thing (and the forum in general) comes across like Canadians defining themselves primarily by how they’re not American.

At least set up some blackjack and hookers here.
