Thread: Shout Box

Hi all

I was just wondering where the shout box had gone. I've really enjoyed some lighthearted chat with lots of mods and site helpers over the last few days and was sad to see it missing today.

Can anybody tell me what's happened?

Tx,

HC

Yes, it's a shame iniit, CB?

Nothing sinister - it was given a trial run but I believe it was causing a drain on the server.

Can you tell I'm not really that technically minded?

Anyway, we're going to try racing pigeons soon, so instant messaging is nearly with us.

That's a shame, Jonni.

As it was great fun, and I've really enjoyed getting to know all the mods and site helpers over the last few days.

Put me down for at least 100 pigeons.

It was a good thing
1) IM tend to cross barriers (perceived by some)
2) It keeps general chit-chat off threads
3) It gets rid of trolls quicker (they cannot post a lot at once and subjects change quick).

I can understand and accept the reason though.

Pigeons, now that is a famously old concept. Showing your age there Jonni

Hi HC. Why does typing the same words seem slower?

Old dear, pigeons dear, no dear.

How very dare you!

They're like garlic bread mate - the future

I know - glad I had least a few days of "face to face" chat.

I dare. Pigeons often forgot where to go too.

I do actually thank Conar for finding the bear garden (his thread was moved from DAG), shout just seemed more like a group IM service (ideal for comments not wanting to be left permantly too).

Anyway my pigeon (bed) says it home time. See you tomorrow (later today).

No offence Jonni, just could not resist.

I've sent you a pm about our shared interest, aktiv

just replied, off now.

The word from Webby is that it may be replaced by something better, but he didn't say what.

2 tin cans and some string I believe.

I heard paper cups, because we can get them for nothing from BurgerKing.

Semaphore seemed a good idea.






Turned out it wasn't, on an Internet based forum. (Shame, as a Frenchwoman, I would have the edge, I already speak fluently with my hands. )

Smoke signals.......

No smoking in here, Rooster, put that out!

Here's hoping.



Bookie - I talk with my hands as well. According to the stuff I'm having to teach at the moment this makes us kinaesthetic learners.

I always like a label.
