I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Tom brought it up. I assume he wanted to know people's thought on closing it.

Of course assuming is risky.

It seemed a shame for Beep Me/Press to get all the discussion.

move out and draw fire

"Beep Me is for any personal news, and Press is anything that's of interest to Buffistas at large" is how I've always thought of it. But I have to say it really doesn't bother me when stuff gets posted in the wrong thread, since I read both anyway, and they're both really low-volume.

This. Also doesn't matter to me if they are one or separate.

Your tag here.

I read both. If you're pressed for time, unifying the threads is a one-click operation versus two... and really, there's rarely more than two or three posts total between the threads. In my head the threads are two halves of a virtual "announcements" thread. I get the distinction, but for me it doesn't serve much purpose separating the two.

I got nuthin on Sang Sacre.

When you mention Sang Sacre, the shadowy denizens stir in their slumbers, shake their shaggy heads, creep out of hiding, and bay at the moon in strange tellings. Then they slink back into the darkness, awaiting the next call.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I seem to recall that Press was there to relieve the stress of people posting in multiple threads things like news, events, and things of interest,and Beep me was for things of more personal nature to individual Buffistas that they want to share: I"ll be going dark..." and family deaths, ~ma and the like.

If you are giving away a lot of books? Press.

If you want to tell people you're moving to Borneo and can't imagine how you'll keep up with the Buffistas? Beep Me.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

AAAGH! This is meara, not juliana. But when I try to hit "Log out" it just....takes me back to the main page saying I'm juliana.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Usually, going to "Set Profile" and unchecking "Remember you?" fixes this.

Never mind--I just typed in www.buffistas.org/login.php, hoping that was the login page, and it was, and it let me change "who I am"...

I'm sorry meara! I logged out, or I thought I did....

Never fear, I am long since me again. But just THINK of the chaos I could have caused! Muahahahahah!
