I forgot to respond, sorry!

Now I’m up and running, I’m happy to continue on my new account, thank you.

The other one was a couple of years old, but didn’t have a whole lot of use, so no problem.
Thanks, though!

Likewise.

Howdy, and also: is hurricane season over now in the Keys?
Can I stop worrying about y’all yet?

I know it’s supposedly “safe” WTFTM by December 1, but as I see the weather now, all bets are off…

looks like we may have dodged another season, but who knows? climate change says “hold my beer”.

I don’t think hurricane season, all hopped up on climate change, is quite finished yet :confused:

Oops, guess I should say Hulloo here too. :wave:

Still getting used to things here. The functions are…different. Is this place just behind Over There in terms of things like more emoji button choices, and a gif button? (Not complaining, just wondering…)

Probably. I’m a few versions behind at the moment, but I think the button choices are in the settings somewhere. I vaguely recall that there was some resistance to changing away from just the hearts, so I would recommend creating a poll in the #site-feedback (Site Management) category and nominate that change. If it gets enough votes, I can turn it on. I just made up that process on the spot, so feedback welcome.

Damn, man, i suspect this caught you as much by surprise as it did us. Hope you are ready for the influx! Substack is just not terribly functional for what we are used to, as far as community. This looks much more like home!

@LockeCJ thank you so much for offering us this space. The community migrating were a life line for me during COVID

That said, you might want to consider a passel of people with mod powers like post removal and time-outs. I’m hopeful everyone will behave but it might be good to spread the load.

Oh, just found this thread for saying “hi, I made the jump too”, which I just posted in the one about the big bad change at the other place :woman_facepalming:

Anyway… this crazy cat lady in Alabama is so happy to see so many familiar names and avatars here
