if you have any questions, our local regular moderator/daily admin, ChickieD is the most active board operator. we’re mostly self-moderated (after five years) and fairly low-pace – just like a favourite cafe.
we’ve made a few small tweaks to the forum software but under the hood it’s all Discourse.
my favourite ones are the ones we’ve added thanks to the community. (the logo is actually ChickieD’s artwork, vectorized).
we’ve also got easy, user-side blocking. (careful, though – unblocking involves deleting your site cookies)
and a smattering of themes that you can switch between, via the pancake menu
All this talk about pancakes and hamburgers had me hankering for a food thread, but the one here doesn’t seem to be very active. Is food only good for analogies over here, or do you gang like eating it, too?
I’m making some stuffed peppers tonight that I’m excited to describe, but I also just touched my eye since cutting and deseeding said peppers so now I need an eyewash station. I’ll be back!
I’ve been packing all day (and throwing out old stuff, and moving heavy stuff around) in prep for moving tomorrow, so big hunger plus no energy to cook = over-ordering from the Chinese+Japanese restaurant!
And this time, I’m feeling like the heavy stuff - Kung Pao beef with fried chicken tenders and egg roll - instead of the more common sushi and a spring roll.
Thanks! There does appear to be a food thread, just posted on it. It just doesn’t seem as well trafficked is the one on the other place. I love sharing the delights of food.
Are there the same rules here, like limits on how many consecutive posts one poster can make on a given topic? I may need to pace myself.
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.
@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.
