As the Boards Turn

OK so this isn't as useful as Topix, but I control this and you should all be able to access it.

I figure in a few days or a week or so, whenever the new Nazi in charge of moderation at Topix get's bored being a d/ckhead, we'll be able to go back online.

Start commenting.

I'm here--helloo!

Hey-it didn't say Clark Kent/Newwbie

EEE said...

Hey, baby!

This sucks ass!

Anonymous said...

Hey, girlie! This truly sucks today. I'd like to plant an invisaligner-less, big, wet one on whoever keeps fuckin with us today. It's Court, btw.

EEE said...

I know, right?

I mean, this sort of works but it isn't the same and now they're not getting ad revenue from us.

Fucking rat bastards!!!

Why are you staring at me like that EEE? Don't you ever blink?

EEE said...

Hey, Garth.

I SEE YOU!!!!

;p

Hello folks. I don't think I care for this format. I miss our old home. It was so nice.

Anonymous said...

eee, that's freaky! Is that your real eye? It's wiggin' me out.

EEE said...

I agree Heather.

But I don't know what else to do while they keep banning us and some of us can't get to Nova's Yahoo site during the day!

This totally BLOWS!

Hi everyone. This really sucks. I had to work so I didn't find out ATBT thread wasn't working until ten minutes ago! Rats and double rats!

Terri, or EEE please create a new thread.

EEE said...

My work email just crashed.

Is Mercury fucking retrograde again???

EEE said...

Hey Angel.

We DID create a new thread and they pulled that one too.

I can make another one but....

There may be fewer trolls here.

but I like Topix for the ability to reply to a comment so the conversation was easier to follow. And the trolls can be a source of entertainment (for awhile).

Newwbie said...

They blow me and I can't believe I don't like it...

Newwbie said...

Angel, you there?

EEE?

Garth!

This is a disaster, is Irwin Allen filming us?

EEE, thanks for letting us use your blog. I can't believe it either. What's more, I can't believe how hooked on that damn thing we all are and you know it's true. It's like they are trying to take my friends away!!

Did you forget to take your meds, ed?

Just when I was starting to get in on the fun.... Maybe we'll have to pay a visit to those Topix bastards....I have family in the Chicago garbage busines....

Hi Eneyer, my angel. I've been working and then my internet connection headed to Mexico (without me I might add!)

EEE said...

I feel like someone dropped us on Gilligan's island without the Professor...

Newwbie said...

I would like to say a few words about breast feeding....

EEE said...

All right. Let's be smart about this.

We can start a new thread and NOT post the link on Topix.

We can call it something like:
"Novel Approach to Gardening Woes" or something that doesn't draw too much attention.

And maybe Court or Garth can start it since I think my name might be a redflag...

What do you think????

EEE said...

Ed said...

Of course you would.

Anonymous said...

Terri, I'm sad now. Hold me?

Anonymous said...

Great idea EEE!!!! Let's make sure to name it something really mudane that no one would want to chat about. I'd start it but I'm not very computer savvy.

Anonymous said...

EEE, I think you're brilliant. I second your idea and nominate Court or Garth.

I haven't the faintest idea how to start a thread.

Anonymous said...

At least we can say fuck penis moron idiot asshole bitch bastard shit, etc. Does that make you feel any better H of C? Come cozy up in the curse words...you can even try saying some yourself. You'll feel better in no time.

Ah, Heather, my poor dear, come here, sweetie -- it'll be okay. Bad men took our playground away.

I love the idea of it calling it a gardening thread "How Does Your Garden Grow" perhaps.

I have no idea how to start a thread either. Where is Dr. Nova when you need him. And why on earth would they pull BOTH of our threads.

Newwbie said...

Let's call it breasts and the women who have them...

Anonymous said...

Just detoured into your blog for the first time EEE. Some amusing topics that I can related to.

Newwbie said...

or men, faces to sit on

Terri said:
EEE, I think you're on to something. I don't think me, you or Angelique should start it. They'll know. Let's settle on the name right now.

Too many people like gardening, though. We might get people looking for talk about daisies and then they walk into our playground. That would be interesting.

How about "Widget Company Gains Dividends"

Who the heck would want to read that???

Newwbie said...

or gardening-please pull my root for me

Anonymous said...

Terri said:
All you do is go to the Chicago Tribune forum. On the bottom is the thing that is what we use to post, except it has a subject line. The Subject Line becomes the new thread and that's where you put the Widget name or whatever we decide on.

You have to be a member. Who's a member besides me and EEE?

Anonymous said...

How about taking over an existing Topix board that hasn't gotten a comment for over two weeks.

Something like "join Hillary Clinton's campain staff"

Anonymous said...

Terri said:
Oh, Ed, is that you Eneyer/Newwbie? I was trying to figure it out. I'm slow.

EEE said...

I could start it under a fake name, but they might be watching my IP.

I'll try it.

OK, here we go:

http://www.topix.net/forum/source/chicago-tribune/T3Q6U15BJRME4VCNU#lastPost

PS, I'll be calling myself "Gardener" for the rest of today!!!

Newwbie said...

Ed, Eneyer, newwbie, beelzebub, lucifer, Barack

EEE said...

Also, I think we should ALL use pseudonyms for the rest of the day.

My fake name will be Rebel

Tex can't come in here. HofC is talking to Tex in the Stepmother Board. I'll tell Heather to check back here.

Anonymous said...

EEE, I for one still couldn't get on the forum. Could you post a link on our yahoo group? Or you could email me.

Anonymous said...

I started a troll reply name of Navin Johnson today.

But I do like this little safe haven during the workday.

Anonymous said...

But Sunny, I don't like to swear, except the word asshat. Asshat is a fabulous word. It means someone has their head so far up their ass that they're wearing it as a hat. : D

Anonymous said...

Garth, that was you? I'm so naive to this whole trolling thing.

Newwbie said...

'night fellow crimefighters!
I look forward to more adventures tomorrow, in whatever dimension we'll inhabit...Guess we need Amy after all...

Terri said:
Okay guys, we're gone. Look for posters named Rebel or Gardener. There's a Forester too.

EEE said...

Man, Tex must work for the fucking Nazis if he can't even get HERE!!!

Anonymous said...

Maybe Amy is the one who complained and got the threads taken down because everyone talks so much shit about her crappy advice?!?!

Bitch.

Anonymous said...

I'll use "Don" for my alter ego name. It's the first part of my maiden name. Heck, even with Court I sometimes get mail to "mister" so it doesn't faze me one way or the other.

Terri said:
I tried to get a good hint to Tex. If he just reads who the comments are from on the forum, he should figure it out. He doesn't seem dumb...

Anonymous said...

I wanna be Natasha. I'm hunting for moose and squirrel.

How the heck to I search for posts by Rebel or Gardener?

Anonymous said...

OK I'll be Miracle Grower on the super secret thread (although I doubt I've been red-flagged yet).

Anonymous said...

Heather,

You have to watch the IP addresses. It's the only why I can keep up with Eneyer and EEE's trolling activities.

Garth / Navin

PS, Steve Martin was Navin R Johnson in "The Jerk" in case anyone forgot.

I posted as "Black Maple"

EEE said...

haha! I knew that was you Court.

I tried to make mention of Acer nigrum (which btw is the correct latin name for the black maple) and the filter accused me of using profanity.

It wasn't like I was trying to get people to eat crackers on the Island of Lesbos or anything....

Anonymous said...

Yep, I'm Fleur. Who is who? And do we dare post one of our racy stories yet?

Anonymous said...

I sometimes pretend to be the head negro in charge, acer nigrum. Ha! I can say that here without offending (I hope I didn't offend anyone)

EEE said...

I'm Gardener.
And Forester.
And Tree Health.
Um.... I think those are all the ones I used.

Oh thanks a lot EEE. Now my head is really spinning. :)

I just used Rebel. I used Angelique and EEE in one of my posts and I hit send. I wanted to use the whip on myself! I shouldn't have written those names....

John Lofton said...

EEE is Sauron!! Run for your lives!

Stupid topix!

Anonymous said...

Who is Sunny? Who is Cactus Jack? Who is Jock Thorn? Help? I know Terri is Rebel, Court is Black Maple, EEE has decided on many names - Gardener, Forester and Tree Health; Garth is Navin. Who else is who?????

EEE said...

Take a deep breath Angel.

Sunny was in the Introvert forum and just showed up in ATBT this morning - BEFORE it died.

EEE = Gardener
Terri = Rebel
Tex = Cactus Jack
Court = Black Maple
Heather = Natasha
Angelique = Fleur
Garth = Navin
Eneyer is still Newwbie
and I'm guessing:
John T = Jock Thorn

Rational sure is missing out!!!

John Lofton said...

I'm John T, alias Jock Thorn, mega-rich playboy!

Anonymous said...

Thanks EEE, I'm doing my square breathing technique now. Eneyer better find a better gardening name than Newwbie.

I hope that Rational checks the Yahoo forum. Where is Dr. Nova?

Anonymous said...

Thanks for setting this up EEE...or should I say, Gardener/Forester/Tree Health.

As J-Kat already surmised, I went to Angelique's favorite website to find a rose with a name that would make people think of me. Thus: TAMora Rose. It seems most people went more the tree route than flowers, but the only tree I could think of was a tamarack. I'd much rather tip my hat to Angelique than go for a tree I don't particularly like.

Speaking of unloved trees: someone could post as a troll named Buckthorn. Horrible scrub trees.

Anonymous said...

Tammy, I like Buckthorn as the name for a troll He he. Of course Hawthorne would work as well. Horrible, pesky trees that seed everywhere.

Glad you found us.

hello out there from tv land

Just got here from the day. What a day. I've been fighting this damn cold and then i've been busy today and yesterday at work. How dare they! I have better things to do!!

Okay, too much use of the exclamation point.

I have to go in to Chicago Trib Forum yet tonight. I am wondering about Rational. I have to say it -- I miss him. Where is Rational, EEE?

Aren't you proud of me? I actually signed in!

Okay, fellow boarders, I'll post here later. Right now I'm going into the Forum and check things out.

Anonymous said...

You guys don't let any grass grow under your feet...no pun intended. It took some sleuthing but I found you.

I was gone a couple of days and poof...ATBT and RPR were GONE!!!

Has anyone seen/heard from Rational?

From the heart--I would use Fart Blossom...that was a nickname I used with my children. I may just be Brown Thumb....since it's a "Gardening" Forum.

I'm posting a link hoping that it will work. If not, I shall also post it on our Yahoo forum.
