It was rather intolerable for a while, I think it's died down.

You are missed. Come back!

We have a thread where we discuss control issues.

I'm guilty of attempting to choose for everyone the direction the community would take. I'm going to let the cellar find its own level. If that level is something I can appreciate, I'll be around.

Yeah, that's part of it. The other part is that your posts also contribute to what the Cellar is, and I think it's better when you are posting, so I hope you do stick around.

I encourage you to go over to the Dwellar Collage thread and give LJ a picture to use (if you like what you see.)

I am sorry our differences made you feel that way.

Thank you for the kind words. g

Griff. You're missed.

Oh...and wtf? Merc is one person. We don't all get along. There are odd enmities and clashes. But this is a big group of people.

Don't make me set the Pilau hound on you!

Yeah it is strange that though, how just one person can totally ruin an experience for you. I had a bad experience recently with an ex-friend - and it made everything intollerable. I have disabled my facebook account because I didnt even feel like logging on because I knew she was on there, and even going to the local shops for a while was stressfull in case i bumped into her.
I know how you feel Griff - it just makes you want to go "fuck this, i'm out."

i wrote the politics forum off years ago. political argument turns people i like into assholes. i cant imagine what people i hate act like in there.

seemed to me that griff's main cellar joy came from politics....i don't get it....but whatever floats yer boat......

i do get it that one person can shit all over that one segment, and 'ruin' your experience.....so, why then would you keep coming back? you wouldn't

i hope you'll take some time to drop into the other forums from time to time griff.....I DO want your pic in the collage, and will be sure to tell you if merc dies in a fire.

:turd: :bogroll:

oh.....don't be upset....that's like 'eat a dick'.... when you get mad at someone, just suggest that they die in a fire.....or fry in a byre, or anything that rhymes....cry in a choir...etc..

Stick in the mire
Burn in the pyre

A mean kind of guy...er.

lol nicely done.

That is wise. I'll have to work on that. I don't have a recent pic though.

I've never looked in the politics forum. I check out teh Cellar by looking for new posts and if an interesting thread title is for a thread in the politics forum I won't read it. This is mostly because I don't understand American politics, and the remainder because politics turns people into asshats, as LJ so succinctly put it.

Hey, anyone heard from Sarge recently?

How bout bluecuracao?

Blue was on chat last Friday night.

She's afraid we might say something bad about Mexicans, like PA's first confirmed Swine Flu case.

I'm still alive. I have moved back to Mississippi. i'm going through hell in my battle to see my baby

hang in there, sarge

Yeah...you can tough it out. You just need to stay focussed and not let the situation get the best of you. We're thinking of you.

Thanks for the contact, Sarge. Hope you're okay.

Calling all cars. Be on the lookout for a poster going by the name of "John". Last seen 24th February 2009, posting in the WTF? thread.

Seriously, do you think he has run out of WTF? images? Or has he become jealous of Impress's impressive contributions?

Anyone know what became of Nothing But Net?

Fell on some career difficulties and had to move. Never heard anything more.

yeah... I miss old NBN.

What happened to AdamZion? I remember he was hit by a car and seemed to have stopped posting much after that.

That was like 8 years ago, Rich Where did that come from?

Brianna we haven't heard from you since the 17th. Quit looking at this thread and tell us you're OK.

Yeah, Bri. Shake that fine booty of yours down the damn cellar steps already.

now you've all got me worried about her.

Mr Zion continued to post for several years after his accident.

Under a new user name?

No his accident was in the late 90s.

UT linked to an old thread from 2001. I saw a post from Adamzion and wondered what happened to him. I know he recovered, but after that he sort of dropped off of the Cellar.

I was just wondering what he's doing now.

His profile reads that he posted 97 times in about 6 months in '01.:rtfm:

Unless they have new IDs, the lumberjinxes haven't been around for a few days. maybe his 15,000th post finally did for his ticker? Or are they on vacation?

Maybe they got too wound up on the vaccination thread? It could easily happen, highly emotional subject, important decisions for all involved, and folks pretending the science all pointed the opposite way.

Perhaps they got vaccinated against the cellar :(

15K shoulda built up enough antibodies...

I can't imagine them being that upset about the vac thread. They seem to be pretty good at just ignoring a thread (mostly) once it gets to a point they don't like.

Maybe they're just busy.

yeah, maybe.

I know LJ was mad at me for not defending him aginst Tiki

Does he need defending? Against Tiki or anyone? Granted, she's completely batshit insane, but I figured he had a handle on that..... no need to pile on...

lol

Seriously, Monnie, you shouldn't sit on the fence like that. Tell us what you really think :P

I reckon they are just busy.

:doit:

Where is this vacation thread you all speak of? I need to catch up on the juice. Don't hold back on me.

Tiki hasn't been here since we decoded her batshittyish need for drama and her avoidance of most threads, so perhaps the problem will solve itself.

The Cellar: Where winning a Darwin means you won't be around to pick it up.

Now if we could just get rid of classic ... then we'd be in great shape.

I thought they already tried that. :bolt:

He was in chat Sat night and I could tell he was not happy with how things unfolded although he didn't mention anyone in particular. He hit 15k and I suspect he's taking a break to cool down.

/snip/[quote=Undertoad; so perhaps the problem will solve itself.[/QUOTE]

I hope so. I kinda miss old Limberjimmy.;)

I miss jim and jinx.

Me too, case.

Don't they usually go to OBX this time of year? And jinx mentioned her kids' yearly homeschool portfolios had been approved, which means they're officially on summer break... They'll be back soon, y'all.

Hope so. Place ain't the same without 'em about.

Y'all can find me on Twitter, FB and Second Life.

And soon, a Google Wave near you. Yeah, I was in the room when they announced that (along with 3,999 other Java devs). Got a nice Android phone out of the deal too.
