Seriously though Dr A. With an attitude like that, you will never find out about the secret fora.

I know that by asking I'd never find out about their existence or otherwise, but I HAD TO ASK.

One of the more fun elements of the secret fora is that we can talk about them as if we are only pretending that they exist, when in fact they do exist and they are closed to almost everyone. It's clasic cover-up stuff - as I'm sure you realise, this post is all part of the double bluff too.

We are in a looking-glass situation on Barbelith, and if only half the things we hint at about the secret fora on here are true, then you will want to discover just how to be part of them.

Hints on how to gain access can be found here. Probably.

I''ve always found the here's a list of the twenty three books I'm currently reading posts in the Books forum annoying but a new low is reached by people posting pictures of the front covers of books they've bought but haven't read. WTF? I get all the book cover porn I need at Borders, with the advantage that I learn something about the books by picking them up and skimming the jacket blurb for fifteen seconds.

If you're going to have secret forums, then don't talk about them around us untrusted proles. If there aren't any secret forums, then don't imply such things do exist and then wiffle-waffle back and forth. It's rude and it's annoying, damn it.

Jesus, I put the rules for admittance to the secret forum in that thread with the Mornington Crescent rules. If you google Barbelith for that you'll be sure to find it.

What's annoying me is the slowly increasing number of serious threads being started in the Conversation, presumably because people feel, possibly accurately, that they'll wither and die if they go in another forum. If people are willing to discuss Feminism in a thread here, why aren't they willing to do so if the thread is moved to the Head Shop. I'm as guilty of this as everyone else, but it offends my tidy librarian soul.

The results of extremely limited surveys being quoted, uncritically, as fact, as if whoever's been conducting them couldn't possibly have an agenda, even if it's nothing more sinister than attracting a few headlines in order to keep their funding intact.

Call me old-fashioned if you must, but when I was a girl, if you wanted to talk about what 'most people' thought it was kind of beholden on you to actually ask more than a few of them, of a wet afternoon in a shopping centre, or over the phone.

Can't speak for anyone else, but I for one would shoot myself before posting personal experience/impressions (or indeed anything without at least fifteen journal articles for reference/backup) in the Head Shop; it would be less painful.

I'm amused/annoyed that two of the past ten posts have been pointed at me. Maybe even three.

I like having serious threads in the Conversation. Sometimes I want to have serious, intelligent discussion on things, maybe with anecdotes, without reaching for the textbooks to see how other people who I don't know have had them before. Sometimes it's the other way round. I really don't find it a cause for annoyance.

It's pissing me off that I can't post a reply or thread without the browser timing out, and if I reload it does a double post.

Happens a lot- next time, try copying the text of your post, then navigating away from the site and back again- more often than not, your post HAS gone through, you just haven't been told about it. And if it hasn't, you can just paste the text in again as a fall-back plan.

People not following the rules of the instead thread.

The Instead Thread Rules:

1) To avoid any chance of becoming a Thread That Needs To Die, this thread is reserved purely for non-sequiters. A post may have some form of internal logic, but NO post shall make any sense when read in sequence with any other post.

2) Rule 1 shall apply unless you include a picture of a person with a squid head, in which case you're allowed to have a sequiter. But only if it's a different picture of a person with a squid head than last time and only if it's not a Star Wars dolly.

NEWBIES!

Stop signing your posts.

We know who you are. We can read your screen name.

Stop it. It is stupid.

Not as stupid as the posters who're still doing it after they've been here for ages.

The words 'squee,' 'joycore,' 'ficsuit' and spelling the 'teh.' So I guess I'm either old or American or both.

And the lack of time travel porn.

Y'know, cave man with future lady or something.

It just makes me wonder 'What's the story there? How'd that cave man get to the future?'

I'm with you on the 'squee' part.

I don't like squee, but I like teh.

And yeah, Xoc, I know exactly what you mean.

... so I'm alone on the time travel porn? I just have to just rely on Warren Ellis to deliver the goods then? I think he has Gene Ha signed on as the artist.

What does time travel porn (whatever that is) have to do with Barbelith?

You know what I don't like. When Barbelith goes wacko for a second and you get to see the code. I don't want to see the code, damnit! Can't I be a humaton in piece?

22:45 / 28.03.06
... add 'humaton' to that list.

But if you're referring to those actual moments where the page fails to load properly that's very funny.

I was the only person in the audience who truly UNDERSTOOD V for Vendetta. The other SHEEPLE did not understand its TRUTH! They are HUMATONS! As a result of my UNDERSTANDING, global capitalism will be DISMANTLED by MY EFFORTS by THURSDAY. I will certainly not just go home, sit on my ARSE and whine to my imaginary friends about how STUPID people who are not CLEVER LIKE ME are.

See, as far as I'm concerned, 'teh' (111!!!!) just sums up the over-excited fanboy too well. It's accurate and it's excellent. I don't get the hate.

Squee on the other hand.......Urrgh! Fuck!

C'mon, you'll be telling us you don't like "wuffle", next.

You can have my love of squee when you pry it from my cold, dead... Wait, what are you doing with that knife?
