Post by: Nixie on April 20, 2011, 07:58:33 PM
Hello, peoples! I'm new to the forum, but a longtime reader of DMFA. I'm the artist of Anthronauts (http://anthronauts.katbox.net). Just thought maybe I'd pop in and see what's going on behind the pixels!

And... yeah. I guess I'll just get to know you folks over time!

Hello there Nixie!
What an adorable little avatar, aww~ :3

I hope that you enjoy your stay here ^-^

Seems like you're off to a good start, but here's a pointystick to aid in your self-preservation, regardless. *tosses one out from a plot-hole* The genuine pointystick will protect you from most any danger, no matter the level of its nonexistence!

Well, have fun ^-^

Hey Nixie!  Been a while since I've crossed your path! (given that I bailed on the Katbox forums, not surprising, really)

Love what you've been doing with the comic. :)

I'm still of the opinion that yours is the cutest.  harp seal.  ever.

It's nice to see a few familiar folks here! It's been a while, Mao. :)

That's probably becuase some of the forumites here are members of the Katbox Forums as well, Shades.

Speaking of which, It's nice to see you joining the CWM forums, Nixie. (It's KarlSupreme)

I see that you are wise and well-informed to the great powers of the pointystick. *sagely nod* You shall fare marvellously.

Well, one school of thought is that the background can be changed to flashing neons for all non-members and that the sign-up feature can be dismantled. Obviously there is great debate amongst academics as to the best method.

I'm in favour of disabling the posting feature for everyone who isn't an admin. Any objections? ;-]

However, llearch has been meaning to return to his lurker-roots and this would play into that quite nicely.

And I maintain that I can still be friends with bill while questioning his actions and motives.

Whoo, party! Everybody's invited!

Except for pony haters.
And ninjas.
And pirates.
And politicians.
And vampires.
And Miley Cyrus.
And spoons. Friggin spoons I told you to stay away from my parties.

Awesome. Let's get down and do this thing.

(Though I must say that I am affronted by your spoon-hatred, they always seem quite serene and polite at my own parties.)

It cuts out the moderators. It doesn't cut out the two people the forum considers to be admins, said configuration being the ability to edit some deep mojo, most of which isn't actually needed for running the forum - only for backing it up or installing it.

The two accounts in question are Damaris and llearch's Big Black Boots. Make of that what you will...

The real thing to look out for are the ponies whose special talent is in running the meth-labs.

More seriously, the forums are backed up daily, offsite. But if we lost the lot, the result would be "ewps" - after all, it's not like you guys are paying us to manage it, now, is it?
