Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

One interesting thing about having a ton of newbies around is that they find lots of new and fascinating ways to break the board. In this post,

The line, "<I am REALLY upset by this. Anything I know about sentence structure seems to have flown out the window.>" was interpreted by the system as an italics tag.

I fixed the post. (edit: And then she did as well, deleting the line. Oh well.)

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

New Minearverse thread, please. (As I say this, I'm sure it's being created. Because ya'll are fly like that.)

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

When the Minearverse 'turned over' I was seeing three different post #10,000s (different users and text).

edit: still true. And FWIW, I had post 10,001, and now it's one of the post 10,000s.

And they were separated by 2 seconds each, even. Hmm.

AND they took the place of 9998 and 9999 instead of 10001 and 10002. Hmm again.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Sorry DX... :( I didn't mean to break the board.

ETA: Does this count as a trip into the guac?

Minearverse2 has (had) a post 31 of 30.

edit: Minearverse2 seems to be behaving itself now.

Nah, no guac. It was just kind of a weird thing that had never come up before, because fake tags are supposed to be stripped out by the system. I was just surprised that the system interpreted your fake tag as <I>, ignoring the rest of what was inside the brackets.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Actually, I'm suprised that it hasn't come up before -- it's normal for browsers to take only the first "word" in a tag if they can't understand what comes afterwards, and <I> is an allowed tag.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Just now, trying to post in Bureaucracy:

There has been an error. It's of the type we call fatal. Please don't be scared. You're not the one that's going to die.

Okay, where the $$&#&(@#& are the developers?

Also, the board's been slow all day.
