Big news at the BABB

Postby ToSeek » Thu Sep 01, 2005 1:54 pm

For those of you who haven't heard or noticed, the Bad Astronomy Bulletin Board will be merging with the Universe Today forum this weekend.

This is good news for anyone who's been banned as the current plan is for a general amnesty toward anyone who has been previously banned from either forum.

Other news is that I will be one of the moderators of the combined forum. It goes without saying that anyone who tries to surpass me in post count will be banned immediately. ;)

But will you be a Spongy Hyperion there too?

I'll bet not...

Congratulations ToSeek!!!

I'd wait till next week sometime, when the rules are formalized. It really hasn't been officially decided how to deal with previously banned posters, though the amnesty is the favored approach at the moment.

But note that the combined forum will be very tightly moderated, as it can be when you have half-a-dozen moderators keeping track of things.

Well, let's start a pool. When will Candy get her first warning and when will she be banned?

:D Yay ToSeek!

I'm excited because I'll get to use my nifty (or I think nifty) avatars on the BABB/BAUT/whatever...

WHEE!

I very much like your hippo. Is this from some animated film or such thing, or is it purpose-made for your avatar?

Amnesty is definitely in effect, though projectorion seems to be making a concerted effort to be the first person banned from the combined forum.

I've read Candy's last few posts here, and I would recommend that she wait until she has rested up from her recent sleep deprivation experience :D

Just read the thread to which you refer. Good to see he doesn't bear a grudge from his previous banning at BABB :D

You're not just saying that because you know I'm crazy, are you? :P

Although if you are, then I spare you from the nuclear weapons that will be unleashed from my moon base to destroy the earth! AH HA HA HA AH HA! So... do you want a gun to kill yourself before the nukes or would you like to become the "Neat Moon Rock Collector Person" for me on the base? Your pick...

Nope, saying it because it's true.

So... do you want a gun to kill yourself before the nukes or would you like to become the "Neat Moon Rock Collector Person" for me on the base? Your pick...


OK, this is confusing. If I said it because I know you're crazy, do I still have to pick? Or is salvation automatic in this case? And if I said it for some other reason, I can still pick, or I'm doomed in that case? It's not real clear here...

:D Yay! I confused you! Just for that you get your pick. {and you get to pick because I don't know what I said either...}

Just as a note, I'd pick rock collector. That is if I wasn't co-evil overlord of doom... If you do pick rock collector you have to be prepared to ride in a hi-jacked plane to the moon that has a rocket welded to it and duct tape sealing all of the holes and openings... You might want to bring a helmet... that'd be good.

My co-evil overlord of doom: 14. 14 is a person, not to be confused with 14 people.

Anyway, she and I had seperate plant to go to the moon {and subsequently overtake the earth} before we met and just combined them at lunch one day (um... yes, she goes to my school... scary, huh?). We are in the process of building a calender of doom (not to be confused with GLP's calander of doom) where we write down what we are going to to each day to get ready to go. We have to wait for at least a year because another friend has to finish his welder's training before we allow him to weld the rocket to the hijacked plane. We also have to stock-pile on plastic wrap to make a barrier thick enough to block cosmic rays in the habitat bubbles we need to build up there...

P.S. So, DO you want to be the Neat moon rock collector?

Yes, it does seem to me that that would definitely be the biggest obstacle to be overcome in the execution of your plan.

So, DO you want to be the Neat moon rock collector?


Sure. I'll go on your second rocket-powered plane to the moon.

FYI: I was never ever warned prior to being banned, nor was I ever previously banned. Oh, I see there is an ignore function of some sort on the new BABB. The new forum looks very different.

Maybe you need to put anyone who might upset you on ignore (Sci-Fi Chick?). This may help you avoid future confrontations and, thus, bannings. :wink:

An ignore function would be great. I have to try it out. Back when I read usenet on eunichs systems, we called it a kill file. But the problem is, other people keep replying to posts from non-existent people...

I can only think of two people I would ignore, and they are both regular posters on FWIS. :twisted:
