The limits are soft and I think can safely be ignored. It’ll say something like “Maybe you should consider letting someone else contribute?” but it won’t stop you.

The food thread over there is one of the only reasons I go there, so I’m game for a food thread here, but I often forget to take photos while things are still pretty

Yeah, I wouldn’t claim most of my food pics are “pretty” by any stretch, but having a photo does seem to help put things in context.
I posted about my stuffed poblanos from last night, in all their glory on my battered baking sheet.

Well, yeah, maybe “pretty” isn’t the word. Maybe I should say that I often forget to take photos before I’ve eaten the food item, and the plate is just a dirty dish in need of washing.

Like Erma Bombeck’s attempt at learning to paint a bowl of fruit.
She just put some specks on her canvas; the teacher asked her why there was no fruit.
The kids ate it, was Erma’s reply.
What about the bowl?
Someone took it.
What are those specks?
Fruit flies.
Erma then switched to a cake-decorating class, and licked herself into weighing 15 more pounds.
(i think this is from “At Wit’s End”, paraphrased from memory, lol)

So that’s what Erma did!

It’s relaxed here. I would love to see an active food thread so you are welcome to kick that into high gear.

Resurrecting an old topic is not a faux pas here, I don’t think—and anything less than six months old is “new”

I can’t remember the last time we had a new thread. Resurrect away.

Why hello!
@gracchus was kind enough to provide me with a link to this land of mystery that I knew existed (but not precisely where), and I thought I’d poke my head in and say “Hi.” 
I know the history of why this place was created, and as such, if I’m counted as part of the evil over there, please let me know, and I’ll wander off.
Otherwise, It’s nice to hang out somewhere where I do not need to wear any “hat” other than my very own, and would indeed love to become a part of your community here. Absolutely no hard feelings should anyone feel uncomfortable with my being here, though; just let me know.

Hi pleezedtameecha!
I’ve no clue as to who you are, and that’s all right with me.

Welcome!
Most of the words I’ve seen in reference to you have been highly positive. Regardless, as far as I am concerned your behavior here matters more than your behavior elsewhere somewhere else.

Welcome!
I don’t think you were part of the reason we left or were kicked. I think that happened while you were sysadmin but before you became moderator. I only ever had a problem with one person over there, and you ain’t him. As you may note, I do still participate over there, just less than I used to, and I share much less personal info there than I once did.
I’m glad you’re here. Several times I’ve wished that communicating there with you as you, rather than as The Moderator, was an option. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but even those of us who still participate over there do it a little more, shall we say, carefully? than we used to in the before times. Things have somewhat quieted down here since then, but I’m sure you’ll see some names you recognize.
Again, welcome, and I hope we have many interesting discussions!

Thanks! I completely get it; I’ve often felt the same way - That I’d love to just “be me” and not think about my “role” in a discussion. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like someone’s putting words in my mouth. It’s more like the “Hrm, I should probably steer clear of this discussion” type of thinking.
I have to say, it’s nice seeing many faces over here I haven’t seen in some time.

Welcome!
I think I just got tired of the arguments. Calmer here, that’s for sure!

I’m honestly glad you’re here, but it would be lying by omission to not point out your part in why I haven’t been to BB in the past 2.5 years. You suspended me for posting a picture of Mr Burns saying “excellent.” It must have received a lot of flags. I asked myself, if something that basic can be so wildly misinterpreted what am I even doing there?

So the whole point of being here is to not drag stuff from “over there” over here, and I’m fully prepared to believe the two may be inseparable and I therefore cannot remain here (because as a guest I am not going to cause a ruckus.)
That being said the one thing I will say unequivocally is that your timeout “over there” had literally nothing to do with some gif, and if you really do believe that and would like more clarity on that subject, let’s do so in PMs here (or there!) - I try to be an open book, but I do not want to derail anything here with those sorts of discussions. I hope that makes sense.

I say that you are welcome here; this site was created after the Saint Elsewhere “Massacre” so that we could still talk to our favorite BB members even if something untoward should ever happen to the main site.
Speaking only for myself; I personally count you among that number, Ken.

The reason I jumped ship was when you got a timeout over some troll-induced bullshit. If you’re ok with it, so am I.
