Thanks for putting in the avatars. The Corgi could be my Shorty! She loves peanut butter, too ;D You're very welcome. I always say you can't have enough silly photos! I'll be adding more soon as I find them and I'm always on the look out. I found a great site for silly cat photos so some of them should be on the way soon. Still need a good site for funny dog photos though. My dad sent me this one of the Corgi with the peanut butter jar... he's the king of the silly photo. Most of the silly photos I made the avatars from he sent me. He never seems to have much to say but he sure knows how to get a laugh!

Hi, Everyone! ;D Casual Observer, I just have to tell you that I think your board looks great! I'm most impressed! I'm getting to know my way around here, & was checking out the red circles with the X on them. In doing that, I put myself on "ignore". My apologies. I had intended to send a PM to everyone letting them know what that button does and completely forgot to do that. I'll do it right now. Again, sorry about that. I guess I just had a brain freeze. No need at all to apologize! When I discovered that I put myself on "ignore", I thought it was hilarious!

Hey, everyone. Sorry I've been MIA. My year end work has kept me occupied full time. This place is really coming together.
Casual Observer, you have really made a lovely place. I can't wait till things start hopping on the ANS case again.

Hey, everyone. Sorry I've been MIA. My year end work has kept me occupied full time. This place is really coming together. Casual Observer, you have really made a lovely place. I can't wait till things start hopping on the ANS case again. I was surprised when I mentioned to a few people at my old board that I was going to be opening a new one that anyone wanted to talk about Anna Nicole Smith. I always thought it was OJ and that Scott Peterson character that drew the interest of people (or whoever else was on the news every day). I don't really know much of anything about the circumstances of Miss Smith's death but in skimming through some of the posts there looks to be a lot more involved than I would ever have imagined. I didn't even know she had a son and that he died before her. Maybe I don't get out much or something, but it's become clear to me that there is a great deal of interest by more people than I would have thought. It's nice to have you all here whatever it is you want to talk about. Let me know if there are any other boards that people might like to have about a specific issue. It came as a pleasant surprise to find so many people come here right away when I was asked if a board could be added about Miss Smith as I assumed that there would only be myself and maybe a couple of people from my old board here for a little while. My apologies that you all have been using the board while I'm still getting it set up and that some things may not be working properly - I thought it would be boring and lonely in here for awhile with virtually no one to notice or care whether or not things worked right. As long as people are happy to be here and make a sincere effort to follow the posting guidlines I'm happy to provide a place for them to be. Thank you for the kudos, and again, sorry if any of you have experienced any technical difficulties during your visits. I think I have most things squared away at this time but I'm sure that it wouldn't have been smooth sailing for several days since I was still doing the bulk of the set up while you all were already here.

I wish I'd found you before tax season I peek a bit here and there just to get away from filing taxes. I must say CO....I've been on a good many boards, and I like it that I don't see you trying to push your opinions on the posters here. I can tell you, one board in particular that Night has mentioned, that mod/adm must have permanent PMS...if she doesn't like you, you are history.

I can tell you, one board in particular that Night has mentioned, that mod/adm must have permanent PMS...if she doesn't like you, you are history. I've run my own boards for a long time and most likely for that reason I don't have much opportunity to look at others although there's a political board I like to visit when I can for current news especially about elections that matter to me. That said I really don't know very much about how other people choose to run their boards. I think it's always best for the moderator or administrator to keep their opinions to themselves so as not to taint anyone's perception of how they moderate. I don't believe any board can run successfully and peacefully for any amount of time if the administrator and moderators can't or won't remain neutral. Impartiality especially concerning issues where opposite sides tend to form is imperative to successfully and fairly moderate. I may read through the boards when I have the chance just for general interest other than to make sure things are running smoothly, but I won't be posting in them except for The Lounge other than for moderating purposes. Although it's a good idea to remain visable so members know someone is paying attention, I have long believed it's important for the administrator and other moderators to remain in the background and keep their opinions to themselves. I honestly don't understand how any board can keep members and run successfully otherwise. I'm sorry you haven't had a good experience at other boards because of poor administration. That should be the last reason any member of any forum has a bad experience.

Hey Ms Casual, thanks for emailing me the link to your new sight. I hope you don't mind, but I've brought over a couple of news items I'd posted before I realized you were shutting it down. If you don't want them here please feel free to remove them...I just thought they could generate so interesting discussions.
I like your new look and can't wait for you to get hopping again!

If you don't want them here please feel free to remove them...I just thought they could generate so interesting discussions. I like your new look and can't wait for you to get hopping again! So nice to see you again sloopy! I'm sure whatever you have brought over from the old place will be fine. You were one of the old timers that didn't get chased away by the teenager invasion at the old place and always had interesting things to offer. I'll miss the place in some ways but I think all things considered it's better this way. The ProBoards are very different from the old place but they're also a lot more flexible (although I do miss the option for the threaded view). MyTwoWings has also made it over here. You might remember her from the old place but she spent most of her time in the graphics forum. She's helped me out a bit with the skin for this place and made some avatars for us to use here. Colbie, the coding expert has been a big help but he may not be coming since I won't be having the gaming board here. TorchTheWitch, our old resident political guru says she might be coming over too, and upinarms has registered also. I'm still trying to get in touch with kitchenwitch and Cook in the Soup and the other great ladies of the old recipe forum so we can keep that going here (how will I know what to do with supper without them?). The old place is now officially off the radar screen. They only gave us a about a week to either opt in to the new pay system or lose the boards, so it's gone now. Ah well. Onward and upward!
