Hi, I'm new here.

Hi, I'm new here.

Postby Buttercup » Thu Jul 10, 2014 12:36 am

It seems this is the "free chat" folder?

I've come over today from CosmoQuest.

Will look around (and resist bashing a certain CQ Mod - no, I'm not going back).

To those who've known me from CQ, hello again (and if you don't like me, please just politely ignore me; life's too short, right?). To new persons I've not yet met, hi! :)

Why resist? I bash them all the time.

Hi Buttercup. Welcome to the secret order of satellite-based mind control.
A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station.

If you are seeing an apparent paradox, that means you are missing something.

Hi Buttercup, we've met over at QC, too. You won't not be told off for political posts here as you were on BAUT (and just for the record: I disagree with your assessment of Swift's intervention); however, you may find some political viewpoints here even less to your liking than over there :shock: . So, welcome, and make yourself at home.

Yeah, the best you can hope for here is half-arsed moderation. :D :-D :grin: Welcome.
Get it up ye.

Indeed, that's worth mentioning: The moderators here have let the place slip like you can't believe.

Yeah, the moderators suck.

lol, no they don't. We just don't have anything to moderate here. When we disagree we do it like adults.

We've only ever removed one person. You may remember bill/William Thompson from babb/baut/cq.

Thanks everyone! :) I'll interact as able.

Regarding BAUT/CQ, it took me 2 years to feel at home there. And then ... it's just too different now. Some good and interesting people there, yes. But there are various "things" I can't quite figure out, and don't care to give much more brainpower to it.

Actually, the moderators here aren't too bad. Except for Arneb, Mactep, and MM_Dandy. They're total crap.

Welcome aboard the good ship IRU, Buttercup.
