Once inside she wonders why she didn't just fade into the office. shrug shoulder Oh well G@d D@MN IT Im finally in!! Misssed Arsinoe and Jedi Soul! Life sucks. My computer decided that now it wants to run out of memory and so much as opening a screen my kill my computer. So I went off kill some files and then run the compressor.

THX 1204 Member | posted 07-31-1999 05:53 AM Don't like it here - I want to go home What happens if we post spoilers in this forum? In fact this Thread is already FULL of spoilers - so how can you move it to Misc. ? IP: Logged |
Senator Binks2 Member | posted 07-31-1999 07:52 AM Hey everyone. I'm about to leave on this 8hr car trip to nowhere.... should be fun.Anyway... just read about all the "excitement" on the P(SA) thread and think its a completely ridiculous move. I posted a response -- "Snuffed Out by Jasman" -- but don't expect it to last long. It's mind-boggling to think of how often people in here casually toss of Episode I spoilers... and not "intentionally" either. Hope no-one is working "too hard" this weekend (Shimmergloom???). BTW -- Darth Maul dies and splits in half.... right after he kills Qui-Gon while Obi Wan is trapped behind the red gate. IP: Logged |
Sandfarmer Member | posted 07-31-1999 10:08 AM Here we are in miscellaneous section and I guess I can live with it but I have a few questions I fear will never be answerd.1. If we are so bad for the PSA forum, why did they wait till we got past 200 posts to move us? 2. If Jasman is all powerful and this was the right thing to do, why did Precher Boy never appologize for closing the last thread instead of just moving it? By the way, I just came back from the PSA and without getting my calculator out, I would guess about 20% of the threads don't have anything to do with "prequels spoilers allowed". IP: Logged |
absolutjedi Member | posted 07-31-1999 11:00 AM Well, here I am, working on a Saturday, and a Saturday beginning a long weekend to boot. Oh well, I shall attempt to do as much slacking as possible. Unfortunately, my work this weekend involves scanning several of our companies network drives and workstations for viruses. Therefore, if I don't pay at least some attention to my job, it may adversely affect my future slacking ability. So I guess I must sacrifice some weekend slacking time so that I can live to slack another day. I'll check in periodically to send this back to the top so people who are unaware of our move will be able to join us in our new home MTSBWY IP: Logged |

Sabé Member | posted 07-31-1999 11:06 AM Hey, guys, come on and help me ! I'm trying to get them to reopen TarynS Lounge in the "Snuffed out by Jasman" thread in the PSA forum. I've made a very polite and "reasonable" post and everything, and now, I need your votes !And hello everybody, by the way. How have you been doing ? IP: Logged |
Jedi Knight TarynS Member | posted 07-31-1999 11:57 AM Sabé where are you making this stand? Im too lazy to go through all those nasty pages...Help me Sabé. You're my only hope! IP: Logged |
Jedi Knight TarynS Member | posted 07-31-1999 12:10 PM I whole heartedly agree with you both gundark and THX. Hi Sabé! I guess Im okay. Still getting over the shock of the move and trying to get used to flipping between both forums. How about you? I think I need a drink. Something to numb me all over... Yeah I'd like that a lot. Poor Creepio! I really wish they'd stop raggin' on his favorite thread. Some people can be so jealous... I have no desire to ever equal or rival any of his threads. I just like being part of the team. It feels nice, but when people start picking on him. Its as if they are picking on me. It really bugs. I wish I were a more confrontational person. Then Id speak my mind to any Admin, with a lot of explitives in it. But I doubt doing any of that would make me feel any better. Hey Darth Tater could you post the URL to that Thread you've been talking about. I can't seem to find it. The one where Jedi Soul and Arsinoe have been playing around. Sounds like a fun thread. I may not be on for long. My lil' bro is still bugging me about the movies which I have been steadily staying away from. But my is he persistent Very unslack like. I must make him unlearn what he has learned. And teach him the ways of the Slack. I just may give him his own account so he can be here. Lets see if you can pick him out. (if I give him that account ) IP: Logged |

dapper_bloke Member | posted 07-31-1999 03:37 PM oh my goodness - look what happens when you don't get on-line for a while...!!!can't believe we've been moved... and I can't believe someone thought we were taking up valuable space in P(SA)...!!! what a joke...!!! anyway, as long as we are still here and this thread has not disappeared... on to the important business of the day - I have a present for you all... our own website... there is no content (yet) but we have an address... http://welcome.to/swmcmmj (it works - check it out...) which is a pointer to web space at go.com - we also have an e-mail address (swmcmmj@hotmail.com) if any of you are interested in designing content or have any cool ideas, let me know and I will give you the passwords... have a think about what we might want to do with this space - we could embed a chat room in it, or a message board like the JC... we could all be admins... anyway, I will be back in here on Monday and will speak to you all then - have a good weekend... oh nearly forgot the spoiler: dapper_bloke was watching the pod race...

Lady Brix Junior Member | posted 07-31-1999 04:40 PM Hey, what is this?!? We've been moved! I almost couldn't find you guys! I think it's an Admin conspiracy. Seriously, though--how can "What does your name mean?" and "Star Wars fans need a cool name like Trekkies" be acceptable in the Prequel Spoilers forum when we're not? We've got tons of spoilers! Now if I was some poor kid in Germany or someplace where TPM hasn't been released yet, I'd hate to wander unsuspectingly into the Miscellaneous forum and find out right off the bat that Sidious is Palpatine, and Padme is really Amidala, and Qui-Gon dies at the end!!! I mean, that would just spoil the whole movie for me! How inconsiderate can the Admins get? Oh well. We'll have to keep trying as lazily as possible to convince them we really do belong on the spoilers thread. And I was really shocked to find that they'd moved Taryn's lounge in here, too! (BTW, are they having another toga party in there tonight?) Well, we shall slack on despite all the hardships that beset us! Use the Slack, slackers!IP: Logged |
Arsinoe Member | posted 07-31-1999 05:57 PM Jedi Knight TarynS this is the thread we have been playing with .. it really does need an infusion of new blood to get that story rolling again .. its up in P:SA. http://216.32.191.104/forum/Forum1/HTML/012888.html The Slackers thread and that one have been the only reasons I even ventured into P:SA to look around lately. I have been spending alot of time *here* in Misc and on a Qui Gon mailing list and its webpage in order to get my SW fix! I ventured into Misc during one of the server hiccup periods and found some of the threads in here rather amusing! Take a look around, you might find something you like!

THX 1204 Member | posted 07-31-1999 07:18 PM Hi all,things have got so serious i'm logging on from home - must be pretty sderious as we have to pay for local calls over here! So what's up? Are we going to be content in here? Today proved to me that C Creepio is the true slacker - it's the weekend and i haven't seen one post from him! dapper_bloke nice work with the URL, I can do HTML and a little Javascript and graphics - if there's any thing I can assist in let me know. e-mail is THX1204@hotmail.com IP: Logged |
absolutjedi Member | posted 07-31-1999 07:29 PM Well, I'm finally leaving the office, and I didn't get to do nearly enough slacking. How Distressing! Oh well, I'll probably be back working again tommorrow but maybe I'll get to do some more forum surfing. Let's all hope everyone who's not here is having a nice long weekend! Later Slackers!

THX 1204 Member | posted 07-31-1999 08:57 PM Damn it!Would you believe this: My soon to be ex-flat mate just returned home (2:00 AM here), after seeing what at the cinema.... You've guessed it TPM WITHOUT ME!!! His excuse - and I quote "you were at a barbeque" for f*** sake, this is someone who's known me for eighteen years and up until 10 minutes ago WAS my best friend. You would've thought he'd know I could have left early.... to top it off his last words upon departing from my room "Yeah.. it was relly difficult staying awake - I fell asleep twice". Only his second viewing!!! force choke, FORCE CHOKE, FORCE CHOKE. Jesus I used to lend him my AT-AT. I'm not happy, it's been a bad couple of Star Wars related days, I'm going to bed!

The Sandfarmer Member | posted 08-01-1999 08:46 AM How come Jasman moves us here for not being a PSA thread but he has left a "Jasman sucks" thread and posted on it several times in the PSA. This hypocracy is killing the forum. I wish I could help with a new wep page but I'm trying to start my own myself to promote my band but I don't know what I am doing. Someone should start a thread, "How to do cool stuff on your web page". IP: Logged |
Jedi Knight TarynS Member | posted 08-01-1999 01:02 PM Wish I could help Sandfarmer. I have a homepage, rather boring. it doesn't really do anything facinating. Sorry. Just becuase its the weekend doesn't mean you don't belong to the top. up you go, till monday morning. Sorry for the serius stuff up there... Im much better now.

Anyway, while I'm here a question for Sandfarmer. Why the new Username? Did something unseemly happen or has someone stolen your identity? Just curious.Later slackers MTSBWY IP: Logged |
Jedi Knight TarynS Member | posted 08-01-1999 06:31 PM Yeah, Sandfarmer why the name change? Most impressive count of posts you've got there. I just one day you've acrewed(sp?) 31 post. IP: Logged |
Darth Tater Member | posted 08-01-1999 08:23 PM Just came back from being away from the computer on Saturday, and found this depressing situation. Normally I wouldn't be cought dead in Misc, but I had to come here. absolutjedi, your smilie was so good I just had to steal it Sandfarmer, if it is you, sorry for yelling at you in P:SA, I thought someone stole your name idea. Arsinoe, thanks for posting the link. Man, this is SO depressing Well, may the Slack be with you all in this time of need.IP: Logged |

Sabé Member | posted 08-01-1999 09:20 PM Just a quick hello to you guys, I'm going to bed... It's 03H00 PM in Paris, and I've actually worked (shiver!) today. Don't get all depressed, please ! Life is beautiful and the weather is sunny !I went to Disneyland Paris, and I've seen Star Tours for the first time... We were there at nine o'clock exactly, and we were the first ! No waiting ! The first ! It was so cool. Hey, I've seen the Death Star blowing up before me this week, you can't top that, can you ? Cheers ! IP: Logged |
The Sandfarmer Member | posted 08-01-1999 10:50 PM Hey guys, thanks for the concern about my name. I still am the same Sandfarmer you know and love. I could just say that I decided to promote myself to The because I am greater than the average sandfarmer but the real story is more complex. Basically, my password for the name Sandfarmer does not work anymore. Why? Beats me. I almost think I got banned for all the mistakes I pointed out that administrators have made or it may just be a computer error. You see I tried to change my password. I wanted a password I could type with one hand without caps (because I'm lazy) so I submited a new password. Then I tried the new password which theforce.net had confirmed but it wouldn't work. When I tried to find out my correct password I got a message that I could not access my profile because there were two emails registered to it. I have no idea what this means because I only ever used one email for the name Sandfarmer. Did I get banned or did I just confuse the system by asking for a new password? Anyway, it does not matter, I like my new name better. I did not even notice that The Sandfarmer name had reached member status. I was not trying or anything, I have just been fighting a lot with the administrators and it took a lot of posts for me to get over the hypocritical treatment the slackers and bashers have gotten lately. But, I'm over it and it is all behind me and The Sandfarmer lives on. p.s. Thanks for all the support that fellow slackers have shown me, C Creepio,Darth Derringer and all of those who have stood up for this forum in the various misc. and suggestions threads over the past several days. I have sent a few emails to theforce.net but I doubt they have any effect. (they wouldn't even help me with my password problem) Despite it all, the slack lives on. p.s. All my slacker friends can still call me just plain old Sandfarmer [This message has been edited by The Sandfarmer (edited 08-01-1999).] [This message has been edited by The Sandfarmer (edited 08-01-1999).] IP: Logged |
Stellar Junior Member | posted 08-01-1999 11:48 PM Just doing my part to help you guys find this thread on Monday morning. Slacking at home again...and trying to think of Star Wars related ways to slack at work tomorrow. Maybe I can take the TPM novel and read it again. Or play the original trilogy on the video monitor again. My clerks are getting a little tired of that, but who cares. Just curious: Is anyone else here from Arizona? Or am I all alone here in the desert?IP: Logged |
Aurenz Member | posted 08-02-1999 01:21 AM Hey,just wanted to bring you guys to the top and tell you that you belong on P(SA). Without you and the Bashers, P(SA)is pretty boring.BTW, Creepio, have you ever thought of being a writer? No kidding. You should have your own column on a newspaper. Your storytelling is excellent and you are terribly funny. Think about it. IP: Logged |
Jedi Knight TarynS Member | posted 08-02-1999 07:06 AM judge me by my page do you. And where you should not! for my ally is the slackers. And a powerful ally they are. Now watch as I bring this thread to the top.[cue majestical yoda music] IP: Logged |

The Sandfarmer Member | posted 08-02-1999 07:27 AM Good morning slacker friends. The PSA fourm is incredibly boring without us and the bashers. I guess we were some of the few intelligent posters on the other threads there and with us over here in misc. some really boring and redundant threads have worked their way to the top. The only fun threads left in PSA are the Jasman sucks threads and they don't belong in PSA either. (at least not my Jasman's explanation of why he moved us here)I finally bought the TPM novel yesterday (only $11.65 on clearence at Target and I got one of the last two they had left) so that will be my slacking project for the next few days. So get out there and slack like you've never slacked before. IP: Logged |
The Sandfarmer Member | posted 08-02-1999 07:34 AM By the way, If you want to read some high quality fighting between members and administrators check out my administrators questions thread and the basher petition in the suggestions forum and tell me if I said anything out of line. I would appreciate your honest opinion before they delete the thread. IP: Logged |
QASM Member | posted 08-02-1999 07:35 AM Mornin' to my brothers and sisters in slack.I'm not even going to bother giving my 2 cents on the move. I probably won't even be in P (SA) much anymore. I honestly don't care where we are as long as we can slack, slack, slack all the livelong day! BTW, I am CONVINCED that I performed an actual Jedi Mind Trick on someone this weekend! Q IP: Logged |
Jedi Knight TarynS Member | posted 08-02-1999 07:46 AM Q, do tell! Who and how you did your mind trick on someone. Im up for an iteresting story.Sandfarmer why the name change. Actually hold off till I read that thread that you were talking about.
IP: Logged |
QASM Member | posted 08-02-1999 08:07 AM Actually TarynS, it was a joint JMT between me and one of my friends. We were driving in Buckhead Friday night (the bar/club district in ATL) to meet up with my friend's SO. Well we ran into him and he was at the window of the car talking to us, and he tells my friend that he got some $$ that he was owed so he was going to meet up with his buddies and get silly. Well, she says, You don't need to spend that money, and I said, why don't you meet us at home. And then he says right after that, "You know, I don't need to spend this money, why don't I just meet you guys at home." I'm tellin' ya! It was the JMT!!! IP: Logged |
gundark Member | posted 08-02-1999 08:42 AM Good Morning Slackers.I managed to get on-line with my dads laptop a few times this weekend only to see most of the drama had run it's course, so instead of rehashing everyones vaild points or spitting out more anti-admin propaganda, i'm going to get back to slacking hard-core at work on these fourms in true star wars fashion. Come on people lets think happy thoughts ! We're still here, and this time we aren't going anywhere... I'm nailing my new desk chair to the floor...

Jabbadabbado Member | posted 08-02-1999 09:15 AM All I can say is that P(SA) seems kind of listless and dull this morning.
