Not to be a fish in the anus, but I'd prefer the "Charter Member" if I have the choice. :D

A 24 hour editing period. That is a gift from heaven. Bumping it up from a half hour to an hour would have been huge. This is something I really, really need at times, to keep from being a jackass. Thank you, mjp. I will try to use it responsibly.

 

[d gray]

can you exclude rekrab from this feature?

his "regret posts" are the best!

 

[hank solo]

I will base the new titles on Sons of Anarchy patches

Which is what they initially made me think of. Maybe the new badges make it look a bit too much like a SoA fan forum. Still, good for a laugh.

 

[mjp]

I don't think most people who wander in here - or, as they like to say, stumble across - the forum will make any Sons connection. I'm sure a lot of the regulars don't know where the titles come from. I'm sure the novelty will wear off eventually and we'll go to something more descriptive.

But Reaper Crew might have to stay. Just saying. ;)

 

[growing beard]

looks great. Just one more question. Can we make it so that all three of my blackberries buzz, jiggle, and play the theme song whenever something relevant happens? I live to get notifications via technology.

 

[LickTheStar]

I'm so confused.

And I'm also scared of change.

Scared and confused.

So nothing new in this department.

 

[Bukfan]

I kinda like being called a Man of Mayhem, one of the Unholy Ones. :p

 

[roni]

There. Now everyone will have to guess what they are for.

that's just not fair.
How can I get one of those fancy "First 9"-ones?

I think that's just for the members who joined during the forum's first week of existence. :cool:

 

[mjp]

Yes, First 9 are charter members (first month, I think...things were a little slow around here), so that one can't be earned. ;)

Reaper Crew and Unholy Ones are difficult to earn, but not impossible. They might involve killing someone for the club.

 

[mjp]

Actually hank solo is right, it was the first week.

 

[Short Bus]

Not for nothing but can I get my bobbe posts patched over to Short Bus? That prospect moniker sticks in my craw-despite being the author of my own fate sort of speak.

 

[mjp]

I know what you mean, since malaprops like sort of speak stick in my craw too.

But I think you asked for the old user account to be deleted, so I'm afraid I can't merge the old with the new, since there's no "old" anymore. The posts are still here, but since they are not attributed to an active user, they can't be salvaged.

I just realised I've got 444 points on here. In cricket parlance that's a quadruple Nelson. Apparently cricket was popular in Philadelphia for a while and Bukowski lived there for a while too. Admittedly that's a pretty tenuous link.

Dear Bruno, have you seen the thread I created named "Pictures of Philly and Possible Bar Too"? Go check it out. It's under the main title of 'All things Bukowski.'

So like.What are you guys talking about?

 

[Gerard K H Love]

I'm only spending more time because of the neat changes, wow.

No, seriously, thank you mjp.

Yeah, I saw that. Thanks.

 

[cunningham]

I'm alive. Can I get a confirmation on this?

 

[Hosh]

Can any of us...ever?

But I move the forum to formally accept and recognize cunningham as being currently living/alive.

 

[mjp]

I will reluctantly second that motion.

Congratulations.

 

[cunningham]

Thanks?

I feel swell.

 

[mjp]

I know I said it couldn't be done, but it is done. You are a prospect no longer. All the old bobbe/Jimmy Snerp posts are now attributed to Short Bus.

 

[Short Bus]

Just saw the alert today!!! Let it be known that I am well known! Thanks MJP
