It's working, but I have one question -- are we going to explain "blinvisible" either in the "blocking users" entry or in the "dialect" section?
[eta: The origin of the word, I mean.]
River: You gave up everything you had. Simon: [Chinese] Everything I have is right here.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I haven't seen anything related to the blinvisibilty device that isn't working properly.

I think it's good.
I would do a little blinvisible FAQ bit, but I don't know what the origin of the word is.

From "Gone":
WILLOW It was nothing. I didn't slip--
XANDER Will, nobody's mad. Relapse is part of recovery. We understand that. We just have to figure away to fix it.
WILLOW Fix what?
XANDER Fix Buffy.
WILLOW Buffy's broken?
XANDER You know what I-- You don't know? (off her confusion) Rhymes with "blinvisible?"
WILLOW What?
XANDER Buffy was in town, leaving the haircutting place, when she suddenly--
WILLOW Buffy cut her hair?
XANDER Yeah. It's adorable. Apparently. I, personally, couldn't tell since she's all... blinvisible.

How this? Is this enough?
Blinvisible?
When you use the blocking feature (link to FAQ entry?) to hide another person's posts, we like to say they were rendered blinvisible. We've borrowed it from the season 6 episode "Gone":
XANDER Buffy was in town, leaving the haircutting place, when she suddenly--
WILLOW Buffy cut her hair?
XANDER Yeah. It's adorable. Apparently. I, personally, couldn't tell since she's all... blinvisible.

Looks good to me, Sue.

But it doesn't explain that Xander was trying to find a word that rhymes with invisible. It's really something that's was easier to explain when everyone on the board was watching the same show.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Bad connotations.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Why did we veto Marcie again?
1) Some posters find the name itself distasteful or disturbing, as it was based on the girl who was permanently disappeared by her unpopularity.
2) Some posters find cutesy acronymic names for what should be quietly-done functions to be nails-on-a-blackboard horrible.
