A new name (nearly), A new board and a new attitude. I hope we can put this all behind us and i feel kindda insecure because this will be the only introduction thread ooeeooee.

Oh god i better not of posted when you're not allowed.

Shit.

A. We're allowed to post here now, as we have just moved.

B. Your avatar is a sight for sore eyes*, not to mention being animated. We frown on animated avatars for a reason. Weren't you told this already?


Anyways, people, do the old Coventries stand or not? For now, I'll pretend this one is invalidated due to a technicality.

*edit: To clarify, I mean that it causes said soreness in eyes. I need coffee...

He had that exact same avatar in the old board, and was asked to change it.

This shows the lack of though that was inherant to all his posts. He *knows* that people have slow connections and at animatied avatars mess them up. Why did he choose too use it for his fresh start?!

I don't think AJ or JA is a *bad* person, but he shows a contistant lack of thought, if he stays here he'll have to be mothered and badgered every step of the way. I for one, can't be bothered for that.

I think he'd be happer at the stamp board, where people have more patience.


I don't know whats happening with the coventrys yet, I think they should stay, though.

I made a post in another thread about this. We may have moved boards, but we're still the same community. The acts which annoyed us have not been wiped out.

Mrs G
The Garner who cares.

I agree, both with Rincewind and with Grace.

Also, Mal, if you're reading this, is it possible to block the URL of that .gif image?

I might add that, to the argument against animated avatars, that they can be extremely annoying, which is why I mention eye sore. Every time I look on that avatar, my eyes begin to water.

I agree with those who've posted above me, Jaunty/Aunty has several times said "I'm sorry this won't happen again" but he/she returns to do the same 'faults' over and over again.

That which does not kill me has committed a serious mistake.

I'll be posting Garner's thoughts on the matter in the thread regarding this topic in the Temple.

Edit: Sorry, it was the Sweeper Voting, not the Temple. I still have to get used to this new layout.

Edit 2: To say that the above was an edit. You can do a lot of editing before it starts showing that you've done so!

Mrs G
The Garner who cares.

Yes, Mal did it so that when you edit something immediately after posting it doesn't show up as an edit because it's mostly just spelling errors or typoes that get's edited that way, anyways.

That which does not kill me has committed a serious mistake.

I just thought I'd point out that the second 'that' in the first sentence here is redundant, as you will see if you remove the clause, "to the argument against animated avatars". It would also be more correct to say that you look 'at' avatars rather than 'on' them.

Just thought I'd helpfully mention those minor matters, Roman. :p

Mrs G
The Garner who cares.

Thank you, Grace. That was actually very helpful.

awwwww, but everywhere i go people love this avatar :( ok i'll change it.






EDIT- There Done. Also, and i don't really want to get in on all this which is why i called this a fresh start, but the whole "i kept returning with the same faults" it's hard to keep returning when you've only been o nthe board about a week and a half, i'm just saying you being a tad bit abrupt.

I wanna see what the avatar was! **curious**

LOL I want to see what the avatar was too.

I love the look of the new board.
