[Daghain]

[Randall Flagg]

Cluttered.

[sai blaine]

Damn you matt :lol: i cant decide where to put my fan club now :(

[sarajean]

I kinda like the idea of posting other countries' flags as FP, Daghain and SJ are doing.


But unlike these other schmucks, I actually have roots and practice the customs/culture of my country flagg. :D

[sai blaine]

[Nerak]

[Matt]

I glance at them from time to time.

[Storyslinger]

I saw CK's new one and just about shit myself. It is just, so him. :lol:

For those who don't, look at her sig.

[Storyslinger]

So......congrats are in order, then? :)

[Daghain]

[Nerak]

[Matt]

[Matt]

Congrats Karen--you guys are doing it like rabbits! :lol:

Okay, I hate that my work computer has vetoed images. That was priceless!!!:lol:

[Erin]

I noticed Karen! From December 7th in the avatars and signatures thread:


OMG! Karen's pregnant again? :D Congrats!

Gotta love those little sig counters letting us know.

Congrats again though! :D:D

[Randall Flagg]

I need one of those charts that indicates how close a child is to moving out.:cowboy:

[Matt]

Oh man, me too!

We should figure out where to find one of those

[sarah]

I need one of those charts that indicates how close a child is to moving out.:cowboy:

Just start nakeding it up with the missus, theyll soon crave their own space sans naked parents.

[Daghain]

You mean like this?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJUsSK2L96w

[Randall Flagg]

Pretty much, except we've lost enough weight to forego the swines and perhaps imitate an animal a bit more lithe.

[Daghain]

AHAHAHHHHA! Gazelle?

[Randall Flagg]

AHAHAHHHHA! Gazelle?
Cheetah (not cheater:nope: )

[Daghain]

Ohh, pretty spots. Good choice. :D

[TerribleT]

You mean like this?



That's soooooo wrong on soooo many levels!!!!

[sarajean]

i thought i had commented, too. perhaps i just thought it to myself and wondered where it had been announced that i missed. congratulations karen! you get to be in the same boat as me! :)

I am only having them this close cause I am getting old and Hubby and I both want another one. I will be 38 when this one is born! And the babies will be 13mths apart!!!! UGH! :panic:

[ZoNeSeeK]

try keeping your legs closed :D

[Nerak]

wow zone!!

There is NO fun in that!!! :lol:

Sara, 11 1/2 oopsie!

[Matt]

I have updated our spoiler tag :rock:

It looks like this now

You have been spoiled!!

Button is still the same though. This one is cleaner and saves space in the post much better

[ZoNeSeeK]

me likey. all of those black boxes looked like some sort of disease ;)

[Daghain]

Oh, I like that! :D

[Randall Flagg]

That is the slickest thing I've seen since velcro!:clap:

[Wuducynn]

I have updated our spoiler tag :rock:

I just noticed this. I like its functionality quite a bit, but I do enjoy how the old spoiler boxes look like todash darkness encapsulated...that always made feel warm and fuzzy.

[Erin]

I LOVE the new spoiler tag!

[Matt]

Thanks you guys :wub:

[Patrick]

:thumbsup: on the new spoiler markers, Matt.

[Matt]

Thanks Patrick--

There is now a subforum in the Baronies for
The Little Sisters of Eluria

[Daghain]

Yay! :D

[Matt]

Thanks to All_Hail...for the suggestion. :rock:

There is also now a subforum in Fedic for "King Short Movies"

This is an idea Ari and I have discussed for a while, he plans on bringing directors for various shorts to come in and give their perspective.

It totally look forward to it.

[Matt]

I have added out crossed guns to the address bar in the browser. It'll also be there for tabs and bookmarks. :rock:

Here is what I mean. Its circled red in the image on the address bar

http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/1162/screenee5.jpg


You may have to clear your cache for it to show up, very simple.

Firefox: Tools>Options>Network Tab

IE: Tools>Options (should be right there on the main screen)

[Nerak]

I CAN SEE IT
I CAN SEE IT
I CAN SEE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's wicked cool!

[MonteGss]

I noticed immediately. Very cool. :cool:

[Daghain]

Got it in Firefox - on a mac, you have to hit Tools<Clear Private Data. Then reload. :D

[MonteGss]

Safari had it right away. :P

[Daghain]

Yeah, but I hate Safari. :lol:

[Brice]

Yeah, but I hate Safari. :lol:


Really? Why? I use both on my mac.

[Daghain]

Just a personal preference thing. I prefer Firefox.

[Brice]

:cool: I have both. I use safari more though.

LUDDITE!!!

[Darkthoughts]

Matt, I love the "my mood" option!!! You are aces :huglove:

[Brice]

It is awesome! I just noticed it a few minutes ago.

[Darkthoughts]

Me too :D

I'll be changing mine to drunk in another 2 beers time :lol:

[Brice]

You saw mine! Not so much a mood as a state of mind though. :lol:



I'll share my meds if you share the beer. :D

[Darkthoughts]

Done and done!!

[Brice]

:couple:

[Daghain]

Mood? Cool!

[Matt]

:rofl:

You guys are so cool, I was just coming in here to announce this.

[Brice]

It is great! I love it! :D

[Daghain]

How do you make it work?

[Darkthoughts]

Click my mood at the top of the page, select an icon ;)

[Daghain]

Cool! Got it. Thanks! :D

[Darkthoughts]

:lol: I like your mood smilie, it's very you :D

[Daghain]

:lol:

[Randall Flagg]

How do you make it work?
Have 3 drinks. Click on the My Mood drop down list, select buzzed.
Have 3 more drinks, click on drunk.
Wake up next day, click on hungover.
Repeat.

[Daghain]

AHAHAHHAAHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Matt]

:rofl: :rofl:

This is great--I love how creative you guys are with this stuff.

[MonteGss]

Hmm, am I missing something? When I click on "My Mood" my drop down box is empty. Does that mean I am just "moody?" :D

[Daghain]

Yes. :lol:

[MonteGss]

:lol:
Seriously though, there are no options for me in my drop-down box.

[Daghain]

That is very weird. You are broken. :(

[Wuducynn]

Yes, Monte is "broken" alright.

[Jon]

How do you make it work?
Have 3 drinks. Click on the My Mood drop down list, select buzzed.
Have 3 more drinks, click on drunk.
Wake up next day, click on hungover.
Repeat.


This is just like the directions on the shampoo bottle!!! Lather, rinse, repeat.

I have been in the shower for hours now...its like I am in a "loop."

[Jean]

It is awesome! I just noticed it a few minutes ago.
I wouldn't even have noticed if I hadn't read posts!!! (bears' vision is not their best developed feature)
it's splendid! http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/bear_thumb.gif
(another thing is that I can't see any mood options where I should see them. As I said, vision isn't bears' best developed feature)

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

:lol:
Seriously though, there are no options for me in my drop-down box.

Mine was the same, but I now have the options :thumbsup:

[Matt]

Are folks still having trouble seeing the mood thingy?

If so, which browser are you using?

[towerguard]

Sweet, I'll be forever drunk!

[alinda]

No trouble at all boss, I wish I could pick better moods tho'
I feel so sick, almost like back in my drinking days!





Are folks still having trouble seeing the mood thingy?

If so, which browser are you using?

[Jean]

I found the drop-down menu, but with my Opera I can't see the options unless I click on them. With IExplorer it's ok .

[Brice]

No trouble at all boss, I wish I could pick better moods tho'
I feel so sick, almost like back in my drinking days!

I wish I could choose your moods for you Linda. :huglove:

[TerribleT]

Matt, the mood thingies are awesome, and I hate to complain, but....There's no Horny

[Matt]

hahahahahah! There really needs to be one though, I can add to them but haven't messed with it yet.

Maybe we can get a poll going to see which people would like the most

[Jon]

Maybe "Killing Spree?"

[Matt]

A link for the Overlook Connection (http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showthread.php?p=89112#post89112) has been added to our links directory.

Have a look if you like, we have partnered with the owner (who is a member here) to offer contests and different kinds of things in conjunction with his site.

[sarah]

Thanks Matt. :)

[Daghain]

Overlook Connection rocks. I got the slipcover for the comic series from them. Very nice! :D

[Matt]

Yep, he seems like a very cool guy.

FYI!

Both the Casino and DTbay will be receiving upgrades today. Let me know if you experience problems.

[Matt]

The arcade has been upgraded to its newest version. No more PacMan as it infringed on copyright issues.

[Wuducynn]

What about Ms. Pacman?

[Matt]

Not sure if that one is out there or not, its all part of a package. :lol:

I believe it is.

[Matt]

FYI

Hannah as completed her member collage and it has been added to the home page

http://www.thedarktower.org

I may tweek the size a bit but I love the thing. Have a look if you like

[Daghain]

[Darkthoughts]

That is soooo cool!!!! I :wub: little SJ in the corner. And Erin :rofl: do I want to know what you were doing?

[MonteGss]

The pictures look pretty cool. We have very photogenic members! :)

[Wuducynn]

I'm in there too...

[Daghain]

I don't see you. :)

[Wuducynn]

I'm right behind you, flipping you off.

[MonteGss]

I'm the one grabbing Daggers ass....that's why I'm not pictured. ;)

[Daghain]

Ahhh, well, that explains it then. :lol:

[ZoNeSeeK]

Awesome work Hannah :D

[Hannah]

Thanks! Even though it's not as smooth as I would have liked, I liked how most of it turned out. :D

[Randall Flagg]

I think it's great.
Thanks.

[Jon]

SHIT!!! There is a "Blaze" spoiler in "Today's Events."

I hope it isn't a big one.

[Matt]

On the home page Jon?

[Matt]

Sorry double post--this is exciting.

The following message was posted by Ms. Mod on Kings board by the man himself.



"Thanks, everybody, for buying DUMA KEY and--even more--saying
nice things about it. I haven't seen so few "flame throwers"
on this website (and others) in...well, more years than some
of you have been alive. Stay tuned, and keep checking this
site for new material. It's coming..."

Steve


I think that "and others..." means us!! :nana:

Hey Everyone

We've re-arranged the sections in End-World to spread the load around as Fedic Station was becoming very crowded. This should help avoid duplicate threads and further streamline the media discussion areas. Here is the new structure:

The Forge
Music, Video Gaming & Internet Entertainment Discussion

The Gem Theater
Film Discussion
Sub-Forums: The King Film & Television Catalog

Thunderclap - Relocation to another section pending
Horror & Fantasy Discussion

Odd's Lane (1 Viewing)
Riddles, Jokes, and Forum Games for the odd-at-heart
Sub-Forums: Bob Gray's Freaky Forum Games, The Road to Fair Day

Blue Heaven (1 Viewing)
Off-Topic Discussion Area B
Sub-Forums: The Courtyard

I'll start moving the threads today into their respective sections so don't be alarmed if threads start jumping around a bit. :)

[Matt]

The marquee message has changed a bit, have a look! :rock:

[Matt]

Double post--

[Daghain]

Woo-freaking-hoo! :panic:

[Matt]

Yeah, its weird because I saw it at 4 and then it shifted again. Not sure why that happens so I'll probably stop making this announcement until it settles.

[fernandito]

What determines how high up the scale a website is? How many 'hits' it receives?

[Matt]

That's part of it. Also how many reciprocal links you have from popular websites.

For instance, when we have a link on SK's official website back here, that will be good.

Other than that, its about how closely your domain name matched the search criteria (good there) and about a million other factors.

I like where we are though--gives folks a choice and we have been moving up pretty consistently over the history of the site.

[Wuducynn]

Its definitely nothing to sniff at. Oh and the AntMan's "THE biggest and best Dark Tower site out there"? Please. He has always been way too full of himself.

[Matt]

Yeah, I am in a campaign to have that fan site removed from the face of the earth. :lol:

Talk about outdated and just plain bad--I don't normally speak ill of other websites but man, that is not good.

[Wuducynn]

Yeah, with all those pictures of him sporting his ARC's of various DT books...tell me that doesn't say "Everyone worship me"? Just don't get hit by his head in the worship, that thing would slay a moose instantly.

[Matt]

Its very bad--bad animation, no interaction...its like a huge "I love me" site.

Also, this on the home page really makes me <ick>


I've hidden something special here on the website that some of you might find enjoyable...
...all you have to do is find it. Good luck!
*heeeeeere kitty, kitty, kitty*

Like anyone gives a shit.

[Randall Flagg]

I get dt.com as # 4, but two days ago it was #5.
Certainly being on page one is something to be proud of.

[The_Nameless]

*wipes away teasr of pride*
They grow up on you so fast.

[Matt]

I get dt.com as # 4, but two days ago it was #5.
Certainly being on page one is something to be proud of.

I totally agree, I just love being a choice. :rock:

[Storyslinger]

Awesome, moving up

[Shelbs]

Its definitely nothing to sniff at. Oh and the AntMan's "THE biggest and best Dark Tower site out there"? Please. He has always been way too full of himself.


That dude's still around? I'm sure he's just as lovely as ever. *eye roll*

[Matt]

His site hasn't been updated for 8 months. :lol:

So I am not sure if he could be considered "still around"

[Jon]

No admin. managers or mods of any kind here at this time.

An odd occurrence. They must have lives!!!

[Randall Flagg]

I am here.
I have a life.
BTAIM, joy to all.

[Jon]

I just wanted to thank management for putting up the percentage of the donation under the bar...I would have never figured $716.00 was 71.6% of $1000!!!


(Sorry Matt. I'm in a smart ass mood.)

[Randall Flagg]

Love your perkiness. Now be so kind as to take it to an off topic area.:cool:

[Jon]

Love your perkiness. Now be so kind as to take it to an off topic area.:cool:


I am not kind...and if you know me from DT.net you would know that I was the one mod who tolerated...hell fostered off topic...um...ness.

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a58/jonbug/policecar2-1.gif


But sir, I defer to your authority. (By "perkiness" are you referring to my erect nipples? How did you know??)

[ZoNeSeeK]

/me shepherds Jon back to the ward.

[Jon]

shepherds...how did he know??!

[Matt]

The marquee has been changed today to reflect our love and hope for Karen and her family.

[Randall Flagg]

Anyone wishing to make a gesture for Nerak (Karen) and her family-even a hand written sympathy note, can contact Maerlyn.

For those not familiar with the situation, this thread explains what is happening:

To My Dark Tower Friends.. (http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showthread.php?t=2220)

[Matt]

I have added a legend to the bottom of the forum home screen to show what the colors mean. It seemed useful.

Changed regular "members" to black.

This does not distinguish between members who are gold--because its the same group level.

[Matt]

Also wanted to let everyone know I have removed a few modifications to the site that were not exactly popular. They were taking up some space and it was easy to tell not many were interested.

It sucks
Name that Tune
Living avatars
Radio/TV stations
Auto Birthday PM (never worked right)

I think that's about it. :lol:

[Daghain]

Doing a little light housekeeping? :)

ETA: Not too sure about that black, though. Seems kind of hard on the eyes for some reason.

[Matt]

Yeah, I was worried about that and played around with colors for a while.

This is the list I can use---suggestions?

http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_colornames.asp

[Daghain]

I'd stick with the brown, myself. It was easy on the eyes. That way too the colors for staff show up better.

[Matt]

I figure out what the brown is again--its the default skin color and I'm going to need find something close...or do something new. :D

[Matt]

Saddlebrown looks like about as close as I can get...and its also fitting. :lol:

[Daghain]

You can't put it back to the original brown? That's weird. :lol:

[Matt]

The original brown is actually "no color" so I could remove the color but then it tries to assign a color to the group and uses purple. :panic:

EDIT--

There we go, figured it out.

[Jean]

I have added a legend to the bottom of the forum home screen to show what the colors mean. It seemed useful.
it's great! only why is everyone in singular, and facilitators in plural?

• Director • Manager • Facilitators • Member

[Daghain]

Good point, my furry friend. :)

ETA: I think they should all be singular. :)

[Matt]

Ah, old group name. I agree they should be singular.

[Jon]

Also wanted to let everyone know I have removed a few modifications to the site that were not exactly popular. They were taking up some space and it was easy to tell not many were interested.

It sucks
Name that Tune
Living avatars

I think that's about it. :lol:

Stephen King confirms The Dark Tower Movie
Posted on Monday, February 26th, 2007 at 5:40 am by: Peter Sciretta



Remember last week when we told you that JJ Abrams might be directing an adaptation of Stephen King’s The Dark Tower series? Well it looks like this rumor is true.

King confirmed the news to a crowded room at the New York Comic-Con:

“I know J.J. Abrams’ work and Damon Lindelof, who is his collaborator on Lost. Damon is just a total comic-book freak, and he loves the Dark Tower books. I trust those guys, and they have a lot on the ball. When they said they wanted to talk about doing this, I said, ‘You know what? Why don’t you buy the option on this and see what you can come up with.’ They asked, ‘How much do you want for an option?’ I said, ‘$19.’ (A key amount that comes up frequently in the books) And that’s what they paid me, and that’s where it is.”

“I said no to everybody until recently, because I didn’t think much of the chances of it being a good movie,” King told the crowd. “I mean, this is my life’s work, since the time I was 22 years old. It’s very important to me. Usually, with the other [books], I don’t give much of a shit. My attitude is, ‘Go make a movie, and if it’s good, that’s terrific, and if it’s bad, then it will go to the video stores and back shelves of Blockbuster, and I still get royalties on the book.’”

King also revealed that he turned down an offer from longtime collaborator Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile):

“Frank did come to me, and I know Frank from before either one of us had a pot to piss in. Frank said, ‘Gee, I’d like to do Dark Tower.’ I said, ‘Frank, give me a break! You’ve got The Mist, The Monkey. You’ve got the prison stories. … Stop putting so much on your plate!’”

May-be I’m missing something but, why wouldn’t king trust Darabont with Dark Tower? His previous adaptations are arguably some of King’s best movies. Well, for right now it looks like Abrams and Lindelof have their chance, but who knows when, where or if we’ll ever see the result.

The Dark Tower is a epic series of seven books written by King from 1982 to 2004. The story follows Roland Deschain�s quest for the �Dark Tower,� which is often described as a real structure, and also as a metaphor.

Update: JJ Abrams is now in pre production to direct Star Trek 11, and has a reported six projects in varied stages of development (including Cloverfield/1-18-08). So there is no word on when Abrams might find time for this project.

As some of you may know, we have had a bit of email SPAM and vandalism to our Arcade by people who sign up but never post.

The admin decided against a validation email program for new members because these may in fact be real people--meaning they could use a real email addy and simply validate.

The one they they don't seem to do is post so a new rule is being implemented for new members.

You must have 5 posts to begin using various things on the board including the PM system, the Arcade, Member Map, gallery...all of it.

Until you reach 5 you are basically a guest that can post.

We decided 5 posts would be enough to endear a would be spammer to our community and hopefully reconsider. :grouphug:

We'll see how it goes. :lol:

Feel free to post questions about it here.

[alinda]

That sounds like a good idea Matt, considering
that some of the suff we post can be personal
in nature , so yeah thanks for looking out for
us.

Sometimes that FAQ site bumps us <_<

[Wuducynn]

I don't know why, since its barely updated and it was THE Dark Tower website back before DT.Net...sooooo...?

I believe people hit it a lot still just because of where it shows up on the search. It may also have some very good reciprocal links.

Or Google ads. Those move you up the list too.

[DarkHarvest]

Hello Fellow King Fans! My name is Robert Kreh, and I am an Indie Film maker currently residing in Tampa Florida.
I recently received permission from Mr. King to adapt his short story Cain Rose Up from his collection Skeleton Crew. Under the dollar baby deal, I am unable to seek traditional investment as this is a non-profit project. So I am here to ask for your help in making this a reality! Every dollar counts as I am trying to raise quite a bit of cash, but there are oppurtunities for those who donate to receive screen credit, and become part of Stephen King Dollar Baby history.

For more info, or to just check out the teaser trailer, cehck out the new site dedicated to the project:

www.cainrising.com

I appreciate all of your support, and I am dedicated to producing a short film that is faithful to Mr. Kings work.

-Robert Kreh

[Randall Flagg]

Robert,
I am sure one of the Directors of the site will get back to you soon-publicly or privately-but soon nonetheless.
Speaking for an unofficial standpoint, I am confused as to how an "investor/contributor" in a Dollar baby would recoup anything.
Of course the writer, director can and should use the opportunity to springboard themselves into Hollywood notariety, but I see little chance that the average joe who tosses $100 your way will benefit.
Love to hear your thoughts-perhaps I am wrong. If so, please tell me.

You are right. It is going to be a long ahrd road, But I just have to have faith, and seek every avenue of fund raising that I can.
As for "investing", I cannot ask for investment on this film as it is non-profit. I am hoping that the fans will support it by donating a few dolalrs, and if I get enough small donations, that I can raise the money I need.
I left the paypal button open for donations of any size, from $1-$1000. And an an incentive, am giving screen credits to anyone who donates $50 or more.
I thank everyone who has already donated, so far I ahve raised $210

RF

On another note, I am not looking for Hollywood notariety. I actually consider myself somewhat anti-hollywood, and pride myself in continuing to pursue film making outside of the Hollywood system.
And my adaptation of "Cain Rose Up" will not be nothing short of a true adaptation of King's story. My goal has always been to make an adaptation that is as true to Mr. King's original story as possible, and once the film is finished, I hope that is reflected in the final product.

[Matt]

Hey Darkharvest--I am glad you are having some success with your donations.

Kind of a bad time to be soliciting here on the site though as we are in the middle of our yearly fund raising drive for the Haven Foundation already.

I do hope you have great success and I'm sorry the site isn't in a position to help out beyond this conversation.

If at anytime any of you feel that my presence here is not welcome, just let me know and I will glady leave.

[Wuducynn]

Plus, this takes away from my skimming of the donations for my cocaine and hooker fund... :angry:

Thanks. I will try not to spam you guys too much. I will drop in from time to time and post a new post about the project, and let you all know how it is coming.

I have always believed that word of mouth is the greatest form of advertisement. so If you can't donate, I would greatly appreciate any word of mouth you could give.

Thanks again, and if anyone wants to donate, or just check out the site it is:

www.cainrising.com

and I can be emailed directly at robert.darkharvest@gmail.com

[ZoNeSeeK]

Congratulations on the option though DarkHarvest and all the best in producing the adaptation :)

[DarkHarvest]

Congratulations on the option though DarkHarvest and all the best in producing the adaptation :)

Thanks, I am slowly but surely raising the funds. I figure if I can get 10,000 people to donate $1, or 5,000 people to donate $2, or 1,000 people to donate $10 then I have my budget.

Every dollar counts.

I am dedicated to seeing this thing through no matter the cost, Even if it means hitting every chat room, every forum out there to do it.

Thanks for your support guys

[The Lady of Shadows]

and operate with a hangover.

[Matt]

That was a very special occasion :lol:

Usually my life doesn't include quite that much drinking.

[Daghain]

Oh, bullshit. :lol:

[ZoNeSeeK]

[Matt]

[The Lady of Shadows]

[Matt]

That's alot of spammers that have been hitting the boards lately.

Nasty side effect of getting more popular. <_<

[Matt]

Just FYI--the marquee is being turned off tomorrow.

We'll use it for important announcements until next year when the fund raiser starts up again.

[alinda]

1st announcement could read...DT.com the BEST internet site in the world!

[Matt]

I just wanted to let everyone know we have had a post that implies one of our members was approached by another member and admonished for their language and other general stuff.

I'm not going to make a big deal out of this but I want the members of this site to know that only someone in an administrative position has leave to contact members regarding site policy.

We have a very good system of administration on this site and if there is a problem, we will catch it.

If you are approached in any way by another member of this site for the purpose of discipline, please contact me immediately.

Thank you,

Matt

[Daghain]

Or you can click on that little triangle with the exclamation point under the user's name to report a post, if you feel it is inappropriate. :)

[Matt]

Exactly, but don't approach the member about it. :grouphug:

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to speak to an attorney. I am going to kill you. If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be provided for you at government expense. Do you understand you rights?

Matt,

Just noticed your sig... My Grand baby went home

Sad but,
I always thought that the best part of being a grandparent was to fill your grand kids full of sugar and send them home to their parents.

That's the only way to get them back for the teenage years :D

[Matt]

It is so true. Very bittersweet moment for us but I am so proud of my daughter for wanting to get back to her life and husband.

I just wished they lived closer. :(

[alinda]

I'm baaaaaaack!

[Nerak]

welcome baaaaaaaack :lol:

[LadyHitchhiker]

Ooooooooh so any announcements can go in here?

[Nerak]

oh oh....

[Matt]

This thread should be for site announcements only. :grouphug:

And in that vein, the upgrade changed our default smile--so now its back. :)

also, I added "wtf"...:wtf:

[alinda]

I love that one :wtf: also, sorry boss for my misplaced post above .

[Tiffany]

I know I posted it in IYMRN but I'm announcing it!

Total Solar Eclipse!!! August 1, 2008. Here's (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_2008_August_1) the wiki article for it and here's a .gif showing the visibility range:

Also, Perseids Meteor Shower, August 12th!!!

And when we say August 12, we mean that morning … not that night. These typically fast and bright meteors radiate from a point in the constellation Perseus, and, like all meteors in annual showers, they cover a large part of the sky. The Perseids are considered by many people to be the year’s best shower when the moon is out of the way during the shower’s peak. This year’s moon is not quite out of the way during the Perseids, but there is a window for meteor-watching in the hours before dawn.

Wow! I love that graphic.

So...Jean should see it huh?

Almost all of Europe too :rock:

Zone is dark before it gets there looks like

I can't seem to find a standard frown in our format so its now this :(

Just what we had before

If anyone can find a standard frown in our smiley format, I would love it!

[Tiffany]

Nah, that smiley's not so bad. :D

Jean should be able to see it perfectly...probably better than any other member (that I'm aware of, anyway). *jealous*

I'm hoping to catch a little bit of it but I dunno if I'm north enough.

[Daghain]

I actually like that smilie better. :)
