Dear Richard,

[insearchofjason]

Why I love this board, let me count the ways...

1. No more case-sensitive spelling nonsense when sending PMs.

OK, someone else's turn...

[bjorkfan19]

2. http://talk.livedaily.citysearch.com/images/top_usercp.gif

[Mike]

Bah. Real men/women don't use such sissy contraptions.

[NikDC]

3. Immediate blocking power--fear me! :mad:

[Red50]

5. Select All check box :o

[Short Chris]

The "Ignore" list. Would have come in handy a few times in the past.

And colors. Or colours, if you're vester.

[iggy]

6. Screaming notification when I receive the rare pm. Subtlety is for the weak.

7. Disable Signatures...praise be to God.

[MerrySunshine]

8. I'd like to second the love for the User CP.

9. Holiday Smilies!

[NikDC]

10. Disable signatures deserves another nod.

11. Text and image script that even 80s forum technologically unsavvy people can use

[MerrySunshine]

(Not that I do or anything . . . but, yes, this board is also very low-tech friendly. :D)

[jennsync28]

12. Who's Online... the board is very stalker friendly... :)

[vester]

1. All Hail The User CP!
2. Disabiling Signatures ... Thank you!
3. The colours ;)
4. The little contraption that when you click on the Replies column it tells you who replied and if you don't want to hear from the unwashed masses and only from your 80's clique friends, you can do that. :)
No that I do that. I don't. I'm just saying.

[MerrySunshine]

Hey, I didn't know about that feature, v! The replies feature. Cool. :cool:

[NikDC]

And we were doing so well on the numbering until vester. Didn't want to be unlucky 13, huh?

--Black dot reminding me where I've been
--PMs to multiple people on buddy list
--Splitting and merging threads

[insearchofjason]

13. Yet another lucky nod to "disable signatures".

No more looking at big-head XTina and her mom sitting on the loveseat together.

[iggy]

Could I be more out of the loop? Could I sound more like Chandler?

I didn't notice many of these nifty shiny new features. I wonder if anybody is going through giant freak head Christina withdrawal. They can use Michelle Branch as a Xtina patch or something.

16. The "No Malaysians" feature is brilliant

[MerrySunshine]

Still have no clue who this Branch woman is.

I am soooooo 31.

[vester]

:eek:
Oops, I was going to start numbering, but in Canadian I would of had to start at 18.2, so I said forget it.
The truth is I wasn't paying attention. :o

I'd forgotten about that signature! That's hilarious!

17. I like how you can click on the smilies instead of having to remember the codes. Mensa material, I'm not. ;)

[NikDC]

You missed it when I broke into song on the phone since I'd remembered it expressly for that purpose, Mer. Alas, your loss.

[sunshinegirl]

Hmm, and to think, I still don't know what half this stuff is...

Heck, I just figured out how to clear out all of my pm's...after ISOJ told me.

I still am not clear on this whole user cp thing...I feel like a grandma...

[insearchofjason]

You still have not cleared out your PMs either. I just tried sending you one tonight.

Yes, it is 2:28am and I'm awake.

[sunshinegirl]

No, I did clear them out...

After I got yet another e-mail telling me that my box was full.

[insearchofjason]

You must have cleared them our right after I tried to send one.

Full box. rhahaha

[sunshinegirl]

Ha ha...

Leave me alone. I can't be responsible for my innuendos today... ;)

[insearchofjason]

Why, did you get as little sleep as I did last night?

I was awake at 4:30 in the morning laughing at that Enrique Iglesias mp3 where he's trying to sing (more like yell) Rhythm Divine.

Anyone that hasn't heard it?

[sunshinegirl]

Haven't heard it but don't send it to me. I think all of my BOXES are almost full... :D

Enrique can't sing to save his soul. All he needs to do is stand there and look hot.

I was up pretty late and I have many days of study in front of me.

[insearchofjason]

It's my mission to upload it onto a website and post it here for y'all to enjoy.

Give me a minute.... or 20.

[Patrick McIrish]

I'm glad the limit is high in the PM box. :) :) Don't want to miss one because my box is full.

Every other Haley's Comet or so I get a PM. Got two this last week-end. <beaming> Don't worry I am nothing if not discreet. :o

BTW, ISOM what in heck are you doing up at 0430 in the morning? Those are McIrish-type of hours. I refuse to speculate outloud.

[insearchofjason]

I was hoping McShake would be around to fill my box.

[MerrySunshine]

Oh there we go . . . . :o

[Patrick McIrish]

Oh my........

<that's all I can think of right now>

[insearchofjason]

All thought and no action... :rolleyes:

[ellenmed]

Pardon me.....excuse me....pardon me, here....

Did anyone notice that on Dec. 6 at 7:03AM PST, sunshinegirl hit the 10,000 mark? :eek:

18. More bang for your buck...the stars!



.
Now back to your regularly scheduled programming...

[insearchofjason]

Congrats Miss Sunny!

Does anyone else notice that conveniently at the end of the semester is when Sunny decides to spend a whole lotta time here on these boards? Just wait until finals are over. She'll be up to 20,000 before New Years.

[Patrick McIrish]

Let's reference # 18 please. More bang for your buck..... Not that I'm charging people again. :o

I love a woman that knows what she wants. Of course I have no idea how to give it to her but that is besides the point. I do know where I'll be 0430 this morning though.


BBGSAITMOTBFISOJB :eek: :eek:

[insearchofjason]

:) Got it.

[LJK]

Congrats Sunny! Someday I hope to reach that magic number...:D

[sunshinegirl]

Congratulations? Not sure that the ability to waste tremendous amounts of time is an achievement exactly...but thanks anyway! I take my accomplishments where I can get them!

There's something a little creepy about all those stars. I just hope I can keep my modesty through it all.

Oh and ISOJ...I'm glad you've noticed the corolation between finals and my time on the board...do you recall the conference call/fire drill right before one of my other finals? It's all about avoidance...

[LJK]

If you hit 20,000 do you get another star? Or perhaps a padded chair cushion?

[iggy]

Avert your eyes, lest you be blinded by the stars sunny and I now exhibit.

I recall the fire drill conference call last year...a classic.

19. It seems that everybody who stands still for 3 seconds becomes a moderator. Didn't realize there were that many forums. But more power to you.

[sunshinegirl]

iggy, I guarantee that you and I are the only people with five stars that AREN'T moderators. Kind of makes you feel proud, doesn't it?

We should do another conference call soon - maybe this time I can get the tornado sirens to go off during it.

[insearchofjason]

We'd have to schedule that conference call sometime in May then, don't we? I'll get right on it.

[iggy]

Let's keep patting ourselves on the back, sun...nobody else seems to.

We're hot stuff. Toot toot beep beep.

Let's have a conference call while I'm fueling up at the local Exxon. For some reason, they feel the need to blare music in the pump/fueling area at a decibel level that would bring down a liquored up Ozzy Osbourne (was that redundant?).

Luckily, some DJ Jazzy Trevor is typically blasting some socially acceptable rap music from his mom's minivan so that I don't have to hear Neal Diamond, or what have you.

It all just makes me want to have a Sunkist.

[insearchofjason]

DJ Jazzy Trevor... rhahaha

ig's last post belongs in the hall of fame. He's a funny guy.

[iggy]

Fraud!!!

I'm listed at the shockingly low 19th slot. Travesty!

My whole world was just rattled...or maybe it was my stomach rumbling from my lack of breakfast. Nonetheless...my reign of terror ends. Let them eat cake.

[vester]

bahahahaha

I agree with ISOJ. Iggy's last post is pure, comedic genius!

All hail iggy!

[sunshinegirl]

Oh, let's play a game...it's called "watch Iggy's head expand to the size of giant head Xtina"...

But yeah, the post was funny ;)

21st? Does the list realize that I neglected to post during most of Sept, Oct, and November. Boy that makes me sad.

Hey has Nikki fallen into an alternate universe or what?

[insearchofjason]

She's MIA in the San Jose Mystery House.

[ellenmed]

LOL!! :D

i think she's actually getting her heart rate up in the wine country hills.

go figure....i thought you're only supposed to drink wine there. :p
