Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Bureaucracy 2: Like Sartre, Only Longer  

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

As I was saying...

I like "Still Flying" too.

HostageRocket has 13 letters. COINCIDENCE?!

But I digressify.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

"HostRocket sucks ass", while a tempting thread title, isn't so work friendly, so I'd be against it.

How about "Natter 13: HostageRocket has 13 letters. COINCIDENCE?!" Or is that too long?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Ooo! Dropped by on a hunch and am delighted to see we're up and running again.

ita, you rock like a thing that rocks! And thanks as well to jengod and Kristen and anyone else I forgot who helped to manage the changeover.

Y'all are great.

Now I'm gonna go skip to the end of Natter!

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

BTW - are we planning any serious payback to hostagerocket?

At the very least we can spread the news so that others can avoid being put in the position we are.

But, are we so satisfied to have escaped them that we rule out legal action? I mean they did get some money for us for upgrade to "semi-dedicated" status that never worked right. And we had a lot of down time during hostage negotiations. And we lost data the during the first hostage negotiation.

So are we going to at least consider taking them to small claims court to recover some of this damage? At the very least might we have one of Buffista lawyers or lawyers to be write them a polite demand letter for compensation (one that does not include any overt threat of legal action, other than being written on legal stationary) amd then decide whether actual legal action is warranted depending upon the response.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Here is who voted so far:

Daniel Jenson

No he didn't. I did.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

How do you know he didn't, huh?

All is well that ends in pizza.

'Cause I voted, and my name isn't on the list.

Firefly 5: In case you forgot, HostRocket sucks ass

Lacks.. poetry.

I'm large with the Firefly We're Still Flying love.

Because we are, and it is. And it's enough.

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

I'm gonna be contrary, and admit I don't like "Still Flying." Because it's not, and I'm still bitter.

Cool with "If wishes were horses" or "Too damned pretty to die."
