Seriously. It's so fast. And it has a message board with my name in the title bar. And we all have numbers. And there's a read-new function. And I cannot express in text how much I admire this accomplishment or how much fun I am having with it.

I hereby rededicate this thread as the ita-Worship thread. While simultaneously discouraging natter like that above.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Cool. That was annoying.

Did anyone else notice "Croatan" in DXM's user picture? Very clever.

Thrive to spite them

We need to declare an ita Appreciation Day.

Phoenix's first FAQ addition suggestion:

From Press, now deleted:

Vortex: What's the difference between Sunnydale Press and Beep Me, the two announcement threads?

Rebecca Lizard: Sunnydale is for general announcements that everybody needs to read--what would have made its rounds through every thread in the past. Beep Me is personal life announcements- cheat sheet, in a way, for those who don't keep up with Natter and still want to know what's going on in Buffistas' lives.

me: (Press is for when you're having a book signing and when you want everybody to come. Apocalypse is for when you get the book contract and you want to crow about your good fortune.)

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I think we need to declare ita Appreciation year.

Jengod, that's fabulous.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket

Just a note to let people know, if you didn't, that HTML and carriage returns are now working in profiles. (*) Did I mention that this is cool?

(*) Kwik-edit is not, however; don't try to use it or everybody will see the is and bs & the other guts of your formatting! very embarrassing.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

WX seems to have gone off in search of a soul.

Hopefully, we'll stay locked down.

love's a dream you enter though I shake and shake and shake you

Before I go to bed, I have to say again how amazing this board is. My heartfelt thanks to every single person who contributed in some way to its creation--coders, HTMLers, beta testers, editors.... All of you are a force of nature.
