we got them... by an large the spam filter here is much better than at the old site but you get the occasional leaker... we also have much better tools to deal with them where one click bans them, deletes their recent posts, adds them to the banned database, and checks their ip for similars

Life online continues to improve.

Tomorrow is Canada Day, founded 1867 - so that makes us 158 years old!

I think we just had our first spammer, unless I missed twenty.

Getting a steady trickle now. Which is nice to see in that we matter enough.

Every time I want to quickly introduce a new (male) character while writing, the first names that pop into my head always begin with "J." James, Jared, Jonas, John, ... Why is that?

Mind you. I don't know whether you've really considered the advantages of owning a really fine set of modern encyclopaedias? You know, they can really do you wonders.

Just kidding, sir. I'm here to burgle the place.

You could always go one-up the alphabet and pick names that start with K, like Karl, Karol, Konstantin, and so on.

I really like first names that begin with J

It's not just me! Though I have to push past Jason, Jack, John, Joe....

All males? I also like Julie and Joanna

So do I. But I also like names starting with A and L, and those just never come up when I need them!

Glad to hear I’m not alone And yes in my case it’s only male names. Female characters get much more varied names when quickly dragged into existence.

I think my favourite name of all time is Grace

 

[Rigor Mortis]

I got cornered today at work and ran out of excuses not to go drinking with the crew next Friday. It's a surprise for my designated work wife organised by her actual husband who plied the guilt over the phone, lifts arranged by people who'd only have a slight diversion to drop me home drunk and incapable. She even has a daughter named Grace, so thanks for tying that up, Louanne. Looks like I may be coming out of retirement. Been so long since I got drunk, I may have forgotten how!

As long as you have a designated driver, enjoy!

 

[Rigor Mortis]

I'm usually my own designated driver, which is partly why I don't go out with them very much. They're a young crew, this lot, good company and full of fun and vigour, and well practised in the art of drinking to excess. It'll come back to me. Like falling off a bike.

 

[Louanne Learning]

I like your "u" in vigour

I think we should petition the mods to anonymise this thread.

 

[Louanne Learning]

Did you mean anonymize?

I wasted the whole day snoozing in bed, though I admit it was enjoyable. Wish I could do that more, but I feel a little guilty about not being as productive as I should be.

Happy Canada Day to those who celebrate !
