Right, I'm here. Let me take the weight off my feet, and is that a jug of filter coffee I see on the hot-plate over there?
I'm thread-nursing again. I've just set one going at Another Place, so I shall be a little distracted, dashing out of the door from time to time to see what's happening in the other building.
Are there many people here, or are they all out knocking on doors and collecting their Mars bars and jelly-babies?
No,,,, our lights are off,,,, I'm frightened enough watching the husband attach that Ultra Raw T-Bone,,,, with that Evil Toothy Grin,,,,The Baked Potato is Drowning in Butter and Sour Cream,,,,and the Poor Pea's,,,, My GOD! Who in their Right Mind put's their Peas on top of their Baked Potato?
No,,,, I'm Scared enough,,,,, he has a knife and he's drooling,,,,,,I'm keeping my figures in my own section of the table,,,,,,,
The weathers nice, it's 94 degrees outside and Sunny at 4:30 P M.

Now that is an excellent question. I don't know if you'd get a quicker response over at Duffy's, but no reason you can't start your own conversation (and thread) any time you're so moved. I'm glad you here. One way you can gauge who is on at any given instant is to click on the "Members" tab at the top of the page. You can send PMs or whatever you'd like.
It may be that "Another Place" is what we call "That Other Site." (TOS) It seems that a number of people are posting here in addition to, or instead of TOS. TOS picked up a rather nasty reputation for their Mods and Management. This is a different place.
Granted, we don't have the numbers of TOS, and we probably never will, but that's not a problem.
Coffee? Let me suggest that you place a pick up order for coffee at Duffy's with Mrs. G. or a member of her staff. She'd be scandalized to learn that a new member is drinking her stuff. You can also get dozens of draft beers, the finest liqueurs, cigars and pipe tobaccos.
So, what's on your mind tonight? Want to talk about your other thread, or just clear your mind? We have helps for that, too. Visit the Juke Box, or the Gallery.
Hmm. A little technical quirk. This thread still doesn't show up on my view of the home page.
I have to get back down into "Social topics" before I see it.
That's where I see your thread also, in Social topics, I got a message though that a new thread had been started. So your saying you started a new thread in the S T forum, is that right?
The thread is politics, from the time of King David. I think it's a story full of human interest, but it probably won't get much attention.
"Another Place" is a British Parliamentary convention. It's how the House of Commons and the House of Lords refer to each other in debates. I won't get into which site is which in the analogy.

No, I just meant that when I get back to the home page I still see "No threads started" in the Social Threads section. Then I have to click my way into the Social Threads section before I see this one.
Holy Sheep Dip,,, That's Deep,, But Good Stuff,,,,,WoW. I hope you get takers in that. Your Coffee is near your right hand, I've are you interested in any types of Milks or creams, Yes we have Goats milk. We also have White Sugar and Brown Sugar to include Rock Sugar,,,, if you wish. Just ask,,,, To nights specialty for our Meat Eater,,,, T-Bone, Grill over an Open Flame with your choice of side orders, or if you're a Vegetarian, we have a Great, 57 bean soup with curry and any style of Salad you could Dream of.
Milk, but no sugar, thanks. I gave up sugar in coffee in student days, just to prove to my room-mate that I could do it. It was just for that term, originally, but eventually became permanent.
I've eaten my meals for the day, but perhaps you have some snacks to nibble? Nothing too "hot" (in the spicy sense).

Just ask and we'll get it for you and get it in stock,,,, it your's,,,,nothing to worry about!

Well, at the moment we're the only three on the site. (We have 18 members, so far.) Stephen has raised an interesting question which I don't have an immediate answer to, and I'd appreciate some guidance. I'm not even sure I have the question nailed down.
Stephen started a thread, and it didn't show up in the main social board (Duffy's Tavern). It does show up, but only as 1 new thread, and no other identification, in the Your Social Threads sub-board. Clicking on the sub-board shows the threads.
Now, what are we looking for, each separate thread showing up on the home page? We can do that, but we run to several pages, and I'm not sure you'd easily find what you're looking for very easily. I suppose I could put a code in front of each thread then see if I can sort alphabetically by code, that might make it easier.
Or are we thinking about getting rid of sub-boards and going from board, straight to threads?
Or, what exactly are we shooting for? Assume that I can find a way to do whatever it is, what do we want?
OK, I've gone and look at the same lay out on T S G and another Board some one Messaged me he built for me yesterday That I'm not going to use, I messaged him back and told him Thank You but I wasn't asking for me.
All the board look alike,,,, I think we'd be best to leave it alone for now.
Here look at this,,,, it's just setting there waiting for an Administrator,,,,, you know anyone? smoking-gun.proboards.com/ Here's the message I got from this person, Very nice of him and I thanked him and told him how very sorry I was for the Error in Communication.
hi
you asked on proboards support you wanted a forum built, i have created one for you please check it out here, smoking-gun.proboards.com/
if you like it get your friends to join, i will help with the admin to get you going, any advise please just message me on the new forum, please let me

Hey, MAD MOD, good work.
Somebody, I don't know who, asked ProBoards if we could take over the TSG site. Their response was, we'd have to get the current administrator to give up control of his site, and they couldn't find him. Trust the MAD MOD to track him down.
I'm not sure I'd be terribly interested in starting over again. This one seems to be growing well enough.
As far as Stephen's difficulty, I'm glad it's resolved. I wonder if he has to leave and reenter, refresh the page, or go to some other function like Members and come back. Oh, well. I'm sure he'll experiment.
Right, but the link I gave you was to a NEW BOARD,,, some one built for us! I attached his message to me. That board can be taken over by whom ever I suppose,,,,, I messaged the person back and Explained that Thanks, But No Thanks, You had Built a Board. So it's just setting there!
