Yes, Cass, it would be great if there were noobs. And it would be great if JC was EVER around, or even bothered to make someone make statements in his name. Take care of his blog or forum or even Twitter account. And it would be great if everyone who's left the forum or stopped posting would come back and post. And it would be great for me to eat something. I'm hungry. I'm gonna go eat.

One thing we have to remember is that John is older than dirt, and he didn't grow up with computers or use them much, despite his ads for Compaq. He doesn't understand the use of the electronic umbilical cord, and I don't think he wants to. His life is rich with friends and work; why would he need virtual socializing? It's not gratifying for him; he wants real people and face-to-face interaction, and he can more of that than he wants.
I can understand that, but if he starts an online life and community, he needs to nurture them, or at least pay some else to... That's just irresponsible, especially seeing how he used to plug this place and encourage people to sign up
I didn't sign up because of him, but a lot of others have. And every forum needs some sort of administration, otherwise you'll just be leaving the kids to make a mess of things and all hell will break loose
Look! There's a tiny demon with a pitchfork right in the corner there! See? Hell.
Well, over on another forum I frequently frequent, they appoint regular members (I think they have 7) to do the job. Sort of like "Dictator for a Day", issuing flagellation awards and applying tiny slip knots around our avatars, and mischievously cancelling all the new members that the previous day's dictator allowed in.
So. She's still not been activated. This is very sad.
I totally agree about the fact that seeing as he promoted the forum once upon a time, he should therefore not just give it up out of the blue like this.
We should collect all the stuff for the book and store it off site in case the board goes down. I'll be happy to do it--I've got some time on my hands now. I've got "All My Councilmen", but nothing else.
EMAIL YOUR ENTRIES FOR THE SECOND EDITION TO ME. IF YOU HAVEN'T GOT MY ADDRESS, LET ME KNOW AND I'LL WHISPER IT TO YOU.
Haha! I forgot about All My Councilmen! We had fun with that! Now, what's with all the sad faces? This is the John Cleese forum and we musn't improve his life by sitting around moping because of him! Let's ignore him! Everybody turn your backs when you type on this forum so he can't see us. Okay? Make him think WE left him and not a case of him shutting down the forum and leaving us. No. We don't go down like that. We will sail this turd boat all the way down the pooper. LET GO OF THE POLYPS! SAIL AWAY SAIL HARD!
Mrs. Thing, what about all the scattered poems? I think most of them are in 2-3 main threads, we just need to check the date to see when we stopped collecting for the previous one
Ooh! And the CleeseArt! We had some nice ones this time! From Mario and Val and CP I think
We'll have to collect them, yeah. Sigh. So many threads to look through!
Could you all just search through the threads yourselves and find the poems and email them to me? You can check all your own posts since April 1, 2010.
