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.

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.

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.

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!

Other communities have New People Fear as well (and for good reason, honestly): [link]

We haven't had any new people in a while, have we?

Maybe if Drive takes off, or Eureka.
