Smilies

[Peter Voice]

Smilies, Good Lord, Jim! What ever got into you but if any-one does clip on the smilies legend, the back button is not working and they can't return to the posting page.

Really, Jim, smilies???????

[Jim]

Peter,

THey came with the system. I bought the thing in it's entirety. Smilies are included. I had no choice. I can turn them off if they get out of hand, but I'm kind of curious to see who uses them.

I've noticed women generally use them way more than men so we'll see if there are ever ANY on these boards.

BTW, clicking on the smilies legend link in the message composition page SHOULD open a new window. Just close the window to get back to where you were. This actually happens on most of the links and icons you click here.

That was dumb! I meant to writ something silly and mindless but got side-tracked by the way the site works.
I was wondering how Trevor is coping with the boards being down. He must have at least three or four more hours a day to work on his festival, anyway.

[Jim]

Trevor is emailing me the posts that he would have posted.... Just kidding http://www.performers.net/ubb/wink.gif

I'm trying the site with Internet Explorer for the first time and it doesn't always open a new browser window when it should.

Netscape is more stable for me.

Brady is going to have a ball with the smilies. I guarantee it.

Hi Jim, just logged on too. Looking good, Peter finds it a bit confusing but what do you expect.
I was thinking about Trevor and his sudden cyber addiction, it reminded me of the similarities between computer dealers and drug dealers. I mean they both call their clients users and the primary objective is to get connected.
Most likely, the first one is free, go ahead download a trial version.
Both professions shroud their activities with codes and jargon.
In drug dealing it's your source, speed, LSD, stash and the pigs.
In computer sales it's your source, speed, RAM, back-side cache and Microsoft.
Computer salesmen identify their market with the 15-30 age group and hang out with marketers, bankers and lawyers.
Drug dealers prey on 15-30 year olds and hang out with pimps, thieves and lowlifes.
A lot of old hippies are making a lot of money selling computers.
A lot of old hippies are making a lot of money selling drugs.
A lot of teenagers are making a lot of money selling computers and a lot of teenagers are making a lot of money selling drugs.
Both always have a new, more potent, faster acting product everytime you see them and their clients always love their stuff when it works and want kill them when it doesn't. Both industries are plagued by viruses that are passed from user to user and totally stuff up your system. Rodents seem to proliferate, you need a mouse to access your computer and you need a rat to access your heroin.
You can take some comfort in the knowledge that a quick fix, although expensive is only a phone call away.

Hey Professor,

That could have been a NEW topic.

There were no smilies in it. http://www.performers.net/ubb/rolleyes.gif

[Jim]

Good night.

It's midnight and I've been logged into my server for 5 hours 55 minutes. http://www.performers.net/ubb/redface.gif

And I have a gig in ten hours. I keep forgetting I have a day job. http://www.performers.net/ubb/wink.gif

Talk to you all tomorrow...

[Brian Wilson]

Wow. I can hardly fathom what will happen when Trevor Rooney gets his hands on this new board. Quite frankly I'm afraid. I expect to see him posting in the uncensored drivel category.

Did I do the rolleyes thing right? we shall see?

[Queenie1]

got it.....

[Peter Voice]

Jim, I really think Trevor should have a forum soley dedicated to his project. The way I see it, it could be a win, win situation. http://www.performers.net/ubb/wink.gif
Did I really do that, oh shit, I can't believe I even tried that fuckin' thing. Never again, I swear

[Prof Willie B]

Hi Queenie, I can't help wondering why you are witholding a return email address.
If you have a genuine history and a real interest in our industry and it's future, why are you making yourself inaccessable?
Surely, you could get a free Hotmail address or something.
You are the first person to use the loophole allowing you to anonymously post. Jim will notice. What did you do? Log on, get your password, then go back and delete your details.
It's nice to know your into the spirit of things.

[Queenie1]

Dear Proffessor
I had a trauma or two registering, and in fact went and put my old email address (@junglelink) by accident, then when I tried to re-register the correct details, I had to rename myself Queenie1 (instead of Queenie), by this time my head was going to explode..and I must have ommited my address.
So....in fact I'm not being 'funny' at all. My email address is Janet.Peacock1@ntlworld.com
I am certainly in the spirit of things, just biding my time here...(trying to work out how to make smilie faces jump up and down)..I'm the most un-anonymous woman you could meet actually!!!
Bye Bye
Queenie

[Dead Wood Records]

Hey Professor!

Who are you kidding, I can't e.mail you either, I bet you that Jim will notice!

Perhaps he will put you back in the infants class!

At least I'm a junior, Ha Ha Bulshit!

There we are proffessor, you can see ALL my profile now dear! Why you had to make that seem suspicious I do not know? After all I am a vulnerable girl in a strange world (there are some funny folks on here!!!!!)
Now I can keep up with your college boy conversations Good Lord........
Queenie
Let me know if anything interesting happens, maybe I might wake up!!!!!!

[Prof Willie B]

Trevor, the icons are working and if you read the instructions properly you will find the email link is working perfectly.

[Queenie1]

Proffessor
Answer me this question???
Why are you so sarcastic?????
Should this forum be renamed "lets all get at Trevor"...what IS your problem here...
Why are you all so nasty here?
Live and let live is what I say!!!!!
Queenie

[Jim]

Alright, I know this is uncensored and unedited, but I'm stepping in here...

QUEENIE, The topic at the top is 'smilies.' If you want to get into a flame war and provoke the Professor, you should click on the 'BEGIN New Topic' button and start a new topic with the Subject Line 'Professor, Why are you so nasty?' And then the Professor and you can have it out under THAT topic.

I know you're all new to the world of bulletin boards and stuff, but this is common sense. It's a stupid thing I shouldn't have to say.

If you're reading a topic and want to reply, hit the 'reply button' and reply, but keep the 'thread' consistent with the topic.

If you're reading a topic and you have an urge to change the subject or reply off topic to something someone has said, then START A NEW TOPIC.

The beauty of this system is that you can start an infinite number of individual topics and keep converstaions going on each topic.

Don't change the topic in the middle of a thread. It's really annoying.

We were having a perfectly good conversation about smilies and you go and change the subject. Get with it.

Jim

[jester]

I Luuurve this new site and the smilies.

Blah Blah blah, with a deep cool big daddy of a voice.

Is the the kind of people who think they are intelligent to be profession, consultants, writers and entertainers and consultants!

Because if this is the kind of people who I am going to deal with then I'm going to have to go another way about it.

Those who offend me will not get involved! if you did this to any other fetsival organisor they wouldn't touch you with a barge pole.

Dont be bloody rude to me guys because I definatelt will take you off my lists as professional artist's.

GET THE MESSAGE!



Okay Trevor,

You're coming off as some hot-sh*t festival coordinator, yet you make posts about being really stoned while posting to the previous list. Now I realize that this is legal where you are, but it definitely gives a less than professional image.

This Brian person merely asked for your references. I see nothing wrong with this, as I certainly would be hesitant given your past ramblings and apparent removal from the Rotterdam festival (wonder why???)

If this crosses me off your list as well I doubt it will be any great loss.

[Brian Wilson]

Trevor, Dude.

Please don't post my private correspondance to you on this board. The only place it should be is in your INBOX. I wasn't trying to be rude, just raising some questions that hadn't been answered.

[Rich Potter]

Since this forum is called smileys, I'm gonna get alla this crap outta my system once and for all:

http://www.performers.net/ubb/redface.gif http://www.performers.net/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.performers.net/ubb/tongue.gif http://www.performers.net/ubb/cool.gif :rolleyes http://www.performers.net/ubb/mad.gif http://www.performers.net/ubb/eek.gif http://www.performers.net/ubb/confused.gif

There. Now only 14 more messages like this and I'll be a full-fledged member.

What I need is something to write about. Maybe I'll get a festival and an axe to grind... (or some tar and a brush?) http://www.performers.net/ubb/wink.gif
