Hugs! *Hugs back* It's been ages since I've been to a place that has hugs... And bromeliads! I'm an asteraceae fan myself, though I've heard Roundworld plants are rather amazing in general. Plants and flowers and verdant vibrant nature in general is just awesome! Thanks!
There is always room for mania, zany-ah, brainy-a entertainia here!
In this case, have a hat; hand-knit from the finest spun pelts of Cute Animal Friends, it is sure to keep your ears toasty warm in the coldest and darkest of badfic.
That is if they aren't burning. Then I suppose it can smother your burning ears in the coldest and darkest of badfic.
Ugh. Sorry about the spambots.
But anyway, welcome to the PPC! As a welcome present, have some edible ball bearings - Earth is the only planet that's got them, you know!
I've heard that nothing else in the galaxy compares! I'll decorate a cupcake or two with them, maybe. Thanks for the welcome!
Welcome th the PPC! Please drop your sanity in the bin by the door.
Ah, so that's what the handy sanity receptacle was for! I was thinking it looked like a good footstool, but that might be because my sanity wandered off long prior, never to return. Thanks for the welcome!
Please read this, especially the bit regarding giving warning for NSFW content and otherwise posting things with explicit content. In case you are wondering, Mickey anally violating his pet dog counts as NSFW, and in the manner presented, it is most certainly explicit.
Don't do that again, seriously.
It was disgusting.
I haven't usually had the dubious honor of having someone post something stupid and terrifying under my name the moment I drop in to say hi. I'm guessing there's probably a way to password lock my name and I should be looking into that? I tried going through the PPC webapp thing and it registers my e-mail address, but it doesn't seem to stick for the local forum.
That wasn't my post, and although I doubt there is a way I can prove that the last thing I wanted was to start introductions and have something like this happen. I feel like I should apologize, but I don't even know why someone would do that..! I'm still sorry however, as that's rather sickening. Is there someway to get rid of it?
Sorry about the troll-bot grabbing your name. Have some fudge!
I'll trade you some vanilla penuche for that there fudge! Thanks for the kind {and delicious} welcome! Don't worry about it, after a day of stunned silence I think I've purged my mind of the experience pretty thoroughly. Coffee and job-searchin' helped!
(seriously i just made a huge batch of penuche and i have no idea what to do with it!)
*Bludgeons the troll to death with an industrial-strength banhammer*
Welcome aboard, we definitely won't hold the troll against you.
I love problem solving with constructive fictional violence!... Thanks for the words and the action though; seriously. I internalize stuff like that too easily, especially on the internet where my ability to snark through situations isn't always as strong as I'd like it to be. It means a lot.
In return for this act o' kindness, Pierogies and Daffodils!
Don't worry about it, mate, we know it wasn't you. Welcome to the PPC, anyway. Have a hug and a bromeliad. *hugs*

Someone reported here a couple of times several months ago that a troll on ffnet was stealing the title of popular authors in a few fandoms, particularly Redwall, and posting this garbage with the established author's title. I believe several folks from here reported this disgusting creature to the ffnet admins.
It looks like a troll dedicated enough to follow reporters around and harrass them would be dedicated enough to come up with new material every year or so.
It is steeping low, and what you've got to do with unpleasantly undrinkable tea is throw it out and reboil it - or something like that. I'm glad Miah recognized it; does that mean we can build a wall of newspaper clippings and reverse-charged particles to hold the foul creature off?
Usually we wouldn't be so quick to think that it was a purposeful post by whoever had their name stuck to it. However, the spammers are usually not as coherent as this one was and this usually happens to someone we have had a chance to get to know more, so it is easier to distinguish between the Boarder and a spammer who is using their name. I apologize on behalf of the PPC for the misunderstanding.
I don't know if there is a way to password lock your name or not, unfortunately.
Y'all were just looking out for your own - I'd have done the same thing if some stranger had posted some terrible crock. I've never been one to like securing my name anyway; perhaps this was just a reminder that although my laid-back attitude can be easy and thickens my skin up, there are still things that can shake even the most hardened of internet dwellers. What really kills me is the first thing I did after waking up/preppin' coffee/checkin' e-mails was get a face full of that. What a way to start that day, right?
If you look under the date of each post, you can see the IP address of the poster, so we know it's not you.
There have been a couple of troll-posts recently under the names of older boarders, but the IP address, not to mention the content of the posts quickly give hi/her/them away. This is the first time I have seen him/her/them go after a newbie.
I haven't been on the board for a long time; older boarders can tell you more about the great spamflods of the past. ^^
But anyway, welcome to the board! The usual question: What are your fandoms?
Don't mind if I do!
And that is one impressive list of stuff you like. You should fit right in here, ^^
Thanks for calling it impressive - it was more than a little rambling, and I think everyone has things they enjoy - but it's always a pleasure to find and share new fictional things with people. Here's to stories, good food, and friendship! ^^
You say you like mysteries... Ever heard of the Brother Cadfael books/TV series? If you have, that would be fantastic. If not, you should check them out...
Brother Cadfael! Oh, wow. That was probably one of the first things that I saw growing up; despite already being torn between learning about the Slavosphere/elsewhere, I knew from then on that stories of Saxons and Normans and monks and mystery would be at the heart of my life. I actually haven't read the books yet - you've reminded me to pick them up! Thank you! I'd also recommend My Name is Red your way, in return. And will possibly have more books for a mental booktrade in the morrow!
Greetings, new friend! Have a VCR that displays the correct time!
And there I shall live in peace and harmony! Thanks for the welcome, friend - I shall cherish this VCR forever and ever, and it's amazing that you gave me a thing that is... Ah, very apropos to my personal deficiencies re: machines. Love'em, but my skills with VCRs must rank somewhere at ultra-remedial. Popcorn and bad movies all around!
My family must have gone through about four VCRs before we gave up on finding one that works. Thank goodness for the advent of the DVD!
