Then, come join the fun.
Ta ever so,
the 'ffistas.
amych's is slightly more practical, I must admit.
But lacking in robots.
Unless we send HTML e-mails (I'm against that, FTR) there will be no
t a
tags. Which means any URLs will be spelled out, and may need ot be on their own lines to prevent being broken.
I think it's a great idea to link to stuff in the confirm email. I also think no one will read it. We should link to it above the confirm password part, at least.
But lacking in robots.
Does no one think of the robots??
t sob
Unless we send HTML e-mails (I'm against that, FTR)
Me too, actually -- which is what I get for posting my mental shorthand for "find the URL for this" as if it were actual prose.
I shall edit to fix that
and
include robots.
Welcome to Buffistas, a collective of people who watch Too. Much. Television.
You're now part of a collective of people who have sent rocket ships to Mars, been interviewed on NPR, have been nominated for an Emmy, published books on Bubblegum Pop, add new words to the dictionary, are experts in the most martial of the martial arts, been a contestant on Jeopardy!, produced the best in cult television, and can discuss the finer points of Salad Shooters for hours on end.
It's a big sandbox, and we share all the toys. We expect you to do the same, so please read the etiquette link carefully, and don't be shy about asking questions about our quirky culture and strange customs.
Buffistas is owned and operated by the users of the board, not any particular corporate entity.
Or you know, something. I just like showing off.
I like what the Pixie said.

I love this paragraph.
Paragraph, will you marry me?
Or do you want an email request?
Well, I'm currently reading Bureaucrazy, so in-thread here or via email works.
I'm always available via email for BRQG change requests. Although it occurs to me that I should probably check my various accounts more often. (I can be avoidy because I could totally start up a livejournal called shitpeopleemailme.)
